Added 2025-01-18 23:15:55 +0000 UTCHey patrons, I have some unfortunate news. The website will unfortunately not be operational this weekend (the estimated date the comic was supposed to to release) however the first batch is 100% finished and ready to be released, I ask that because YOU guys are the supporters of this huge project what you would want to do with the first drop.
Option 1: Have all the pages uploaded on social media today
Option 2: Wait 2 weeks for the website to be operational
Please reply with your thoughts I’m really struggling as I don’t know what to do
Edit: I’ll leave this up for an hour before deciding, in the meantime let me know your thoughts

Perhaps wait the two weeks?

2025-01-19 00:10:01 +0000 UTCSorry this is a lot lol. The time, effort, and passion that has gone into phighting as a whole is very admirable and has personally motivated me, I think that should be said more considering how awful people can be sometimes.

2025-01-19 00:09:04 +0000 UTCMaybe you can upload them online, not all, but just be going with a little amount of pages per week?

2025-01-19 00:08:34 +0000 UTCA bit worried that the quality might be diminished by socials along with formatting but I guess that issue’s fixed depending on which one that is chosen. For Twitter and Bluesky though I’d assume retweets, comments and allat would go insane and I don’t know if that’s overwhelming or not but it’s something to consider. I’ve accepted that these things take time because it’s been proven many times that it’s always worth the wait. If you haven’t talked it over with everyone else working on it maybe ask what you’re all collectively most comfortable with, what would make all the work feel worth it/most satisfying? If it doesn’t feel like posting on socials devalues the time and effort go for it, if not then don’t. You’ve all been really excited to share this with everyone so pick what feels the most special! You must maintain your whimsy lest you lose everything, none of this is anyone’s fault and it’d be sad if something you and your team have been looking forward to turned more stressful rather than passionate. All in all, I’m willing to wait.
Jet!!
2025-01-19 00:04:18 +0000 UTCI would prefer them to be uploaded today but, I am more than happy to wait. In the end do what you and your team are comfortable with, there is no need to rush.

2025-01-19 00:03:02 +0000 UTCBut please, PLEASE, take care of yourself dude. This shit can be stressful as fuck and you should not beat yourself over it at all. You and your team comes first, not the comic, not the release date, even if it takes another month or two if you want to wait for the website or anything else, you can. You and the team have the final say

2025-01-19 00:03:02 +0000 UTCDepends on what the site has to offer. If you want to post the pages and give something today you absolutely can. Same goes with waiting for the website. It’s ultimately up to you and the artists and other people that worked on it. So yea, wtv the comic team chooses should be what the decision ends up being
Jack
2025-01-18 23:59:20 +0000 UTCPersonally I’d think it be better to post the raw pages as it gives the community something to have while they wait for the website, also since it’s been teased this week people may be disappointed that they will have to wait another week

2025-01-18 23:50:29 +0000 UTCI think it'd be best for it to be up today due to how many time's it's been teased to release somewhere this week, the site isn't and probably shouldn't be the main spotlight for the comic (albeit a really cool novelty)
raydotink
2025-01-18 23:38:53 +0000 UTCI think it'd be good to post them today but if we have to wait that's totally okay 🍓

2025-01-18 23:32:10 +0000 UTCI would prefer them today the pages would still be later on put onto the website. however I am perfectly fine with waiting for the website especially if it has more to offer than just the pages or adds more of a special feeling
Nightcorefart
2025-01-18 23:32:08 +0000 UTCI reckon you should post the pages today but its ultimately down to what works best for you :-)
Kai
2025-01-18 23:32:03 +0000 UTCid say release the pages today
idioticjeremy
2025-01-18 23:30:42 +0000 UTCid choose for it to be posted today, but do whatever's best for you!
Reubii
2025-01-18 23:30:23 +0000 UTCI personally feel like you should release them today!!
the phighterrr
2025-01-18 23:28:29 +0000 UTCI think it’s alright to post them! The fact that the team is building a website just for the comic is really cool, but it’ll all eventually be up once the website is up and running properly.

2025-01-18 23:26:30 +0000 UTCI would prolly post them today cuz they r all ready but I'm down to wait if the sight has some cool stuff to it!
PhightingPhan
2025-01-18 23:26:10 +0000 UTCit would feel a lot more special if I waited 2 weeks but I kind of want the pages to be released now
Historical Backpack
2025-01-18 23:25:13 +0000 UTCDepends, if the website has special elements that can't be shown like in a post I'd wait, but if not, post the pages today ^^
DearpyReaper
2025-01-18 23:24:43 +0000 UTCI’d say post the pages! Then they can also be posted to the website once the website is running ❤️
Wilted
2025-01-18 23:23:22 +0000 UTCi think it makes sense to release them today
Miles
2025-01-18 23:23:02 +0000 UTCMay I ask what the webside offers? In other words, will it just show the pages and thats all (then it can be released today) or are there any special elements to the web? Like animation, specific way to show or layer pages etc
Easternight Fury
2025-01-18 23:23:00 +0000 UTCeither 1 or 2 are fine for me, preferably 2 tho, i think it is better but still it doesn't matter for me at least....
24222scag
2025-01-18 23:22:50 +0000 UTCI'd say to wait for the site!
SenorDizi
2025-01-18 23:22:45 +0000 UTCI think option 2 is better because it’d feel a lot more like “official” on a website and much more exciting
Shu
2025-01-18 23:22:45 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself, first and foremost! You and the team come first!! No matter what happens, we're all gonna love the comic to bits; please don't stress yourself out over this! For my own personal thoughts, I'm not super sure either. I understand wanting the first post to be special, but I also understand that it'd be rough having to wait extra time due to technical issues for both the team and the readers. Maybe post it on social media for now, but as a 'preview' of sorts? Like the first few pages go up on social media, then we wait for the website release, then the released pages go up alongside the new pages and we're told to go there. I know a comic creator that posts both on webtoons and twitter (i was born to work retail, to be specific) but if you wouldn't wanna post on twt/bsky, maybe post it for free over here! More exposure to the patreon as well! But ultimately, like I said, u and the team come first soda!!! Thank you so much for all your work :]
LethalLemon
2025-01-18 23:22:31 +0000 UTCin my opinion, since the pages are all done and everything but the website is finalized it makes the most sense to me to post the pages. the website is cool and ill visit it when it’s ready but i think the best thing to do is just to drop the pages because you said you’d drop the pages anyway in the event that the site crashed. i feel like it’s the best outcome for everyone!
Rocco
2025-01-18 23:21:42 +0000 UTCi talked about this to u but without a doubt 2, i really would prefer to read the comic on the website, i dont really want to have to deal with social media + how it formats posts, and i dont want the quality or impact of the comic u worked so hard on to be diminished by a frankly awful distribution method. most ppl are gonna read this comic in the first 2 weeks of posting and the first impression of it really counts, i feel you will be devaluing the work thats been put into it by putting it on social media but thats rlly just how i feel
NINJISY
2025-01-18 23:21:32 +0000 UTCrelease them today on social media!
yumekawa_mimii
2025-01-18 23:21:28 +0000 UTCid like for them to be released today!
sillycrepes
2025-01-18 23:21:25 +0000 UTCoption 2!! feels more exciting i think, to see it on its own website even if it means waiting a bit longer !!
purple
2025-01-18 23:21:13 +0000 UTCi think wait for the site, also gives you and the artists extra time to work on other pages that could be possibly in production yk?
Bivesteria
2025-01-18 23:20:40 +0000 UTCI would choose first option because it’s would be nice if you release that comic, then people probably happy to enjoy your comic.
Silly rox
2025-01-18 23:20:24 +0000 UTCSense its ready to go id say post it, the website definitely will be a bigger part as it keeps going but sense its the first pages id say post!
Pareidolias
2025-01-18 23:19:36 +0000 UTCI would prefer if they were released today and then put on the site whenever it’s ready but do whatever feels right
true3ye
2025-01-18 23:19:28 +0000 UTCI think its okay to release them today!! because theyre already ready and Theyll be on the website anyway, so why not! it doesnt really matter in the long run and will be cool for everyone who wanted to see it
euca !!
2025-01-18 23:19:26 +0000 UTCwait for the site!!
tubs
2025-01-18 23:19:23 +0000 UTCOh no! That’s not good! I think maybe posting the pages to social media could be a good way to keep the scheduled date consistent. Though, I think you’d want to wait to post the next update on the website when you get it fixed! Don’t worry, take your time, you got this!
Jakeifer
2025-01-18 23:19:21 +0000 UTCI'd be willing to wait extra time!
Kagerou
2025-01-18 23:18:08 +0000 UTCat the same time though i think it would be nicer to have them all on one site and be organized but i think it would be joyous to have some sneak peeks now even (aka release now maybe and then release fuller stuff when the sites up)
deston !
2025-01-18 23:17:47 +0000 UTCpersonally i would say drop the first pages today, and then put them on the site when its finished and then continue further updates there but if thats not possible then id say wait
tamaclawmachine
2025-01-18 23:17:36 +0000 UTCi would honestly be willing to wait extra time, but majority goes, i suppose.
honey
2025-01-18 23:16:45 +0000 UTCi vote release them today
deston !
2025-01-18 23:16:43 +0000 UTC2. I feel like seeing it on its own website is part of the experience/feels nicer to read than just on social media
