  A* episode 7 movie in GermanJun 30, 2011 7:14 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Vitruv and Starschwar have translated A* episode 7--the animated version--into German! Here it is:
 
video on Youtube
 
For future reference, the link to it can always be found on the main episode 7 movie page--and episode movies can be gotten to from the "episodes" link in the site's top menu.
 
So yep, if you hadn't found them before, I did indeed animate A* episodes 1-7; in fact, A* was originally animation *only*, until I started spending more time on the animations and they were taking longer and longer and I didn't want people to have to wait so long, so I started posting my daily animation work as still pages as I went along--that was back at the beginning of episode 5. I don't animate new episode anymore, because it takes so long and anyway tons more people seem to want to read them as daily comics than want to watch them in a video with my silly voice acting and limited animation techniques...BUT if you enjoyed episodes 1-7 in comic form and *haven't* watched the animated versions yet, you'll probably have fun with them, if only to hear what I tried to make the characters sound like. =p
 
From this translated version I even learned some mild German cursing. :D Thanks yet again, Vitruv and Starschwar!

Yesterday I said I thought I'd get to another self-indulgent rambling discussion of something to do with how I make A*, but man it is late/early--spent way too much time twiddling with the comic page layouts today, but at least I think I figured out how to make the page not pop around if it has to insert a vertical scroll bar in some browsers (Firefox and Chrome were the ones I tested), and I finally had to learn some CSS to get those animating boxes under the comic to stay put, mostly, since they had little regard for my olde schoole HTML tables. But I think I managed to sort that stuff out, for the most part; anyway, it's better than it was yesterday. :P
 
So maybe I'll get that discussion in tomorrow, or hm well sometime soonish; it has to do with a comment a well-read reader on Twitter (Yes A* has Twitter! We are highly advanced now!) made about the neuroscience stuff I was going on about last week, and from what he said I think it's clear that at least one real science fiction writer thought it through much better than I did, and years ago! So I will make some excuses about why I didn't come up with what he came up with, more or less. I think.
