Metanet Forums

My old comics (if the old forums still exist):

Okay. I decided to get back to basics and just make the comics. Entirely in MSPaint. Might have an intro or character bios here later, but for now I'll just introduce myself, since most people don't know me.

Hi, I'm Wannas and I want your brains used to make webcomics back on the old forums. I've completed N once and haven't played it much since, but I guess I still enjoy the Metanet community way too much to leave. I finally realised that the perfectionistic person that I am would never get anything done if I wanted to do complicated effects and graphics in my comics so it's back to Paint for me. First comic is below; it's vague and sketchy but I'll try to fill everyone in on the storyline later. To the old-timers, I apologise but it's got very little to do with my previous series. Other than that, enjoy and comment.

Cope/Paste it all into one big post? I'd love for them to be super accessible, and I'm sure many others would too mate. I loved that comic like a fat kid loves a woman made of cake.

And Wannas, the old forums are going to be shut down and handed to other people so you might want to reupload them here.

I'm 3/4 of a second away from just doing it myself.. o.o

Don't stress, I'm going to upload them to an image-hosting site soon and just put links.

In other matters, I've been thinking about the storyline stuff which has been bugging me (and this webcomic) for a while. The last few developments have been somewhat convoluted (according to a few of the posts), and I'd like to perhaps start afresh with a new story about the same principle (humans make N, humans die, humans send internet into space). Of course, this plot hole may have been partially why I kinda dropped out for a year. So I want to make a new story with the same basics. Don't worry, any new storyline would still have the cynical humour I can't really keep out of it anyway. Any suggestions?

Um? Am I just rusty for the sarcasm-detection?

Just confirming that this isn't actually dead; I'm just being schooled (and exammed) for a few more weeks.

In other words, bump. Ideas or general feedback would be nice. :)

Bumpty-bump-boom! And an actual comic, yippee. Short but it shows my art style (especially the copy-pasting) and it's a cliffhanger, because everyone loves cliffhangers.
EDIT: hopefully it'll be full size and readable now instead of being inside an attachment window.

The text is very annoying to read. The font colour and size = eye strain = no fun.

It wouldn't have been much more fun if it wasn't so pink.

Hooray, it's back!
Anyway, the text was a bit hard on the eyes, but it wasn't too bad (and who am I to talk, really).

And the background should be darker somehow if you don't want to change the colour of the text. And yeah, text hurts my eyes.

You probably don't know me, I read all of your webcomic on the old forums and LURVED it. Great to see it's back up! :DD

Okay, I might change the font (most of my previous comics were fine, but I guess they didn't have purple people eaters). I might pick something with less antialiasing; thanks for the feedback, guys. Next one will be up in the next few days.

Wannas is back! Starting fresh, apparently. Looking forward to it.

You better do the font and all other details like you did at old forum, that would make the comic better.

Glad to see you back!

You cannot believe how happy I am to see this has a chance.

Please keep writing, Wannas!

Thanks for all the positive comments. Here's the next.

Friggin epic. Reminds me of the Matrix.
"Alright - HEY! Don't run that way!" Awesome. I literally lol'ed.

Awesome. These are apparently the first sentient drones in any of your previous comics.

EDIT: Noticed the floorguard's handy hoverboard. Nice.
EDIT TWO: Is the seeker the one with the yellow text and the floorguard with the cyan text? Eh, I'm sure it'll be cleared up soon.

This one is nice. Though, it didn't hurt my eyes! I like it.

7/10 or something like that.

Hmm, I'm assuming that those drones are criminals...

Maybe...depends on your point of view.

Next one will hopefully be up in a couple of days, since I have schoolwork and exams coming up.

Panel 3 makes me want to think the bluish text is the 'floor'guard's

To Wannas, I repeat my previous statement
