Webcomic Profile: Retro Farm

Description

Retro Farm is the journey of two anthropomorphic characters: Dave (the fox) and Pete (the weasel?), who have been sucked into the world of video games.
The comic is a collection of short stories, each based on one game at a time.
My focus is on action and fast moving plots rather than character development. I don't like taking five episodes to resolve one scene, so each strip can range from 4 to 14+ panels depending on what needs to be said or done.
The artwork is fairly simple and can change from chapter to chapter, photoshop is used quite regularly for the backgrounds. The humor is light (as I decided it wouldn't be a gag strip) but can be rather crude and mostly revolves around the video games it parodies, so there aren't really 'punchlines' to speak of. Updates are whenever I have a comic to offer, which is fairly frequently if I feel needed. :)

In short: These are simply stories of adventure that I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy making.

Thanks, that would definitely help keep me informed. However, I think I get the joke in this page.

I'm pretty good noticing the tiny details.

Holy crap you have a sharp eye. I will be more careful in the future. >_>

Also I'll explain any references as we go along...
The 'weeoooeeeooo' is all you can do other than jump and run in the game. It seems pretty useless when the enemies are armed with machine guns or are some kind of violent creature that is faster than you, but it does have a use that will be shown in a few episodes time.

Heard of the game, never owned a PlayStation. It's going to be an interesting chapter. I like how Dave has a dark line underneath his eye. Makes him look more serious.

Final panel, There is some of Dave's speech that got copied over from the 4th panel.

Commence the next chapter!
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was a PlayStation and PC game from 1997. A 2D puzzle platformer in which you complete levels by avoiding traps & enemies (of varying intelligence) and communicating with/commanding other members of your slave race.

I thought I'd try changing the format slightly, so only Dave will feature in this chapter, thus only Pete will be in the next.
It will also be shorter, and I'm switching to weekly updates so as not to burn myself out again.

after video games became more mainstream, games have been made easier and easier so as not to alienate potential market. growing up in the n64 era, when this began, i am good at the slack modern games, but the old games based more eon skill and timing rather than strategy are harder for me. however there is hope. devolopers like vavle are starting a new trend of games that are simply fun, and have the different difficulty curves for easy/medium/hard spaced far apart, so someone who isn't good and someone who is pretty much god can both play the same game.

... i just went completely off topic again...
