Right. Since my old thread was closed, JUL was restored from a backup and I was busy with other things, 8 PER SCANLINE took a small break. Here's the 12 first comics (again). New comic tomorrow.

I disliked how this looked, so I started remaking it in Photoshop, which was even worse.

I disliked how this looked, so I started remaking it in Photoshop, which was even worse.

The Flash file for this one was lost (or rather, partially overwritten with #3). Also, Mario's angry frame has changed since the first comic.

When I planned the first season, this one was meant to be a second walking comic. Changing this forced to change my plans for a later walking comic where someone would ask why there always were two walking comics in a row.

Originally, the non-Mario characters would have traveled from their own universes to Mario's to find the Polygon Crystal and save their universes. (Hence the 3D guardian mentioning other 2D universes.) I changed my mind when I realized that it would be too serious.

The distance mentioned in #2 was chosen specifically for this.

This (and the next one) was intended to be walking comics, but I couldn't think of anything for them to do while walking, so I just thought of something random.

I actually had the parallel universe in mind for parts of the third season.

Originally, Mario was the one falling into the hole (hence Sonic's unusually clever comment) until I came up with the blue screen idea.

The Flash file has a faded blue background. I wrote an intentionally bad blue screen program just to get the proper bad effects. Making the program bad enough was actually a challenge.

The background's JPEG artifacts are intentional. Smallhacker probably made a quick Google Image search or something to find a good background.

The discussion about how lame cliffhangers are was originally supposed to last for two comics.

I corrupted the timeline in #6 by deviating from my original plans, so why not corrupt it even more?

You're a full moderator and could have reopened it.

Either way, since you haven't, I'm now trashing the old one.

Also, the "sonic on bluescreen" idea, I'll admit, is a good one.

For the sake of posting something, I chose to post in this thread.

Also, nice comic. I laughed at the "plot hole".

The character was meant to be Fox McCloud. This was changed when I realized that there was no sprites for him. Link's reason for being underground is that he was looking for the Sky Temple (under the ground?), but I realized that he wasn't intelligent enough to explain that. (His personality was summed up in one word in my notes: LOLWUT.) The Laaaaaaaame comment was based on my brother's response to most of my ideas.

If you can't figure out how to solve an impossible situation, come up with a lame excuse.

According to my original plans, this one was meant to be a walking comic... Wait... They're actually walking! Something must be very wrong here.

No comic posted here yesterday due to 24-hour until double post restriction. Therefore, there's two comics today.

A bottle show-... err... Bottle comic!

Flash didn't like the special effects and slowed down to... uh... something really slow.

The text on the piece of cardboard was stolen from my unfinished sequel to my Staff Wars animation.

Again, a comic that was annoying to make due to Flash's slowness (caused by special effects). I'm not actually sure why Smallhacker is in the group shot, as he's meant to be the creator of the comic, not a character in it...

I had a hard time deciding how Smallhacker wasted the money.

Well, that's it for 8 PER SCANLINE - Season 1: "The Polygon Crystal".

Season 2: "The Quest for Popularity" will start... uh... whenever it's ready.

(I've currently got ideas for at least 80 more comics... I hope I'll be able to make them all.)

Only 80? If you spend another five minutes thinking about it, I bet you'll come up with 80 more! Don't be discouraged!

No matter what, the last panel of the last comic was absolutely the best

"...just in case we feel like redoing the Polygon Crystal storyline." xD Don't waste money on anything you just 'feel like doing'!

sad thing is that most graphics accelerator cards don't natively support exponential projection. which would have allowed the forced perspective to be completely overkill.

good comic tho. made me laugh pretty much every few frames.

Grand Theft Auto 2 is the only commercial game i know of that ever used exponential projection.

normally you use either orthogonal projection or inverse projection, one or the other.

orthogonal simply means lack of perspective.

inverse means you simply divide each of the horizontal and vertical axis by the depth into the screen, but this results in what is behind the camera to be upside -down, inside out, and grow in scale in reverse, while causing a divide by zero error at the camera itself, if you render at or behind the camera.

exponential simply means you use a multiplier and a constant rate of growth or decay for the depth axis for use in multiplying the horizontal and vertical axis, however this results in straight lines passing diagonally thru the depth to appear as being curved. This allows any depth to be rendered simultaneously while infinite far-plane is scale 0 and infinite near plane is scale infinite, basically two different horizons in opposite directions thru depth.

How Grand Theft Auto 2 solved the curving issue is simple, they rarely used diagonal lines, and if they did, they corrected the curve by connecting the dots between vertices straight edge style, or using a solid color texture. the curves are still noticeable, but only to the trained eye.

This is why you can see the tops of buildings you walk past despite them being 50ft behind the camera, and why your character doesn't cull out of view when you blow yourself sky-high with a molotov.

i can't wait for season 2.

keep up the good work.

Unlike some comics, this is funny. :O

I like how the guy running the comic appears to be obsessed with time and money, and that the entire comic is run around it. My favorite parts were the "plot hole" and the bigger version of the 3D guardian.

Lol, I just noticed how all the comics had tooltips. I didn't know that that was Smallhacker until the second to last comic!
