Thanks, Ted! Glad you enjoyed it. We’re looking to do a new episode every 2
weeks.
The issue of showing who’s talking without speech bubbles was challenging,
especially since our actors refuse to open their mouths! We’re trying to get
better at making it clearer.

Perhaps if you gave each character a unique prefix? If you include colors with
your greater than symbols, you’d probably not run out. But I think the most
clear thing would be to take a small picture of each minifig’s face, and put
that beside the text. It would be like an avatar in a message board. It would
take up more vertical space for most quotes, but I think it would really be
worth it.

I do want to add a slideshow. I programmed the current presentation in PHP,
but I think I can add a javascript slideshow function by adapting one that
others have scripted. That will definitely make it more convenient, I think.

Another suggestion. Have next/previous buttons at the top left of the page.
That way they wouldn’t move around at all when going from one slide to the next,
and the reader could just leave their mouse above the next button. I personally
find slide shows to be very frustrating, because they don’t allow me to go at my
own pace. (Even if they have +/- speed controls, it’s impossible to get it to
match up with a person’s reading/picture examination speed.)
In any event, I agree that what you have so far looks really good. Keep up the
good work. The email notification system for updates is nice, but an RSS feed
with just episode releases would also be really cool.

There's so much detail, I feel like you know where you are going with it (something lacking from so many web comics). The mystery (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)
