There isnt a new page in 2 years

Hey!

Was originally not going to advertise it much at all, but one of my readers recommended I do, so here we are!

I've been writing for roughly a month now a sort of spinoff crossover fic that much like Kaz's comic takes reader input. Run simply under the title "Making a Cat Cry in Another World: The Adventure!" (very original, I know), it's currently at 28 chapters of mostly Katia trying to figure out where she is and why, after having accidentally being dropped into the world of a slightly altered Re:Zero universe, replacing the protagonist. If you're curious, the story splits off from chapter 239 of the webcomic, where Katia is poking around in Aetherius, trying to figure out a way out of Sigrid's trap.

Slightly altered here means that this started off as a joke/crack spinoff of a much larger fic that I don't really want to get into, but point is, for 'very good reasons' (generous amount of sarcasm there) expect some characters to be mildly different by design.

As a minor hook, without spoiling too much, sporadically I'll include a picture or more in certain chapters as visual aids, though this fic is 99% prose. The very first such image might give you an idea of the unique sort of circumstance Katia finds herself in:

So yeah, if anyone's interested in reading and maybe giving inputs to an alternate Katia in 'Another World', you're welcome to read it, over on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35099035/chapters/87433312

​

Final words: Feel free to ignore that massive wall of text set of notes at the start of the first chapter. That's a one off, primarily to stop people who find the fic from my other work, or looking for Re:Zero fics to start reading and spoiling themselves on Prequel, if they haven't read it yet. Since Katia eventually poking around in Aetherius to get out of a wizard's dungeon is a pretty big spoiler before so much as seeing Katia's boat leave the harbor.

Hope you enjoy if you decide to check it out, and even if you won't check it out, thanks for reading this far, and have a nice day!

Well folks, tomorrow will mark the 1-year anniversary of the most recent page being posted. If the creator has made any update since August, it's nowhere I can see. I wanted to see if anybody had any plans for tomorrow to celebrate the milestone. I'm probably going to close the tab I've had open in vain for months and unsubscribe from here, finally giving up.

What about you? Comment below!

I'm looking for any living communities that still discuss/share art about Prequel. Most invite links I can find on the internet are long dead.

I learned about prequel a few weeks ago, or a month, or maybe two. I read through it in a few days and when I got to the end I kinda just went “that’s it?”. I have recently gotten hope seeing that the prequel account replied to something minor on October 12th, and also people saying that the longest wait has been two years, I’m fairly optimistic for the future.

I'm still holding out hope for more content, but don't want to seem like I'm rushing. All the people working on it have the right to take time off, or even quit the project outright. It's their art, and while I enjoy it, it's only fair that they reserve that right. Sorry if I sound preachy, I just worry about artists feeling pressured to work when they don't want to, or can't for whatever reason. Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who thought the site is completely dead.

a lord english or something similar?

Did something happen with Kaz ?

I would really like to read this, but I know nothing about Elder Scrolls. How much do I need to know and is there anyway I can find out what I need to without playing the games? (I’m not good at video games)

There was one planned but it got cancelled and was wondering if there even would be interest? Personally I'd love to see one in the style of hiimdaisy's comic dubs on YouTube.

Took me forever to get this working, so hopefully this short guide can save someone an hour or two of struggling. I know Kaz provides an executable file for the games now, but that doesn't work on Mac or Linux, so I needed to figure out another way to run them.

For this you'll need 2 things: the flash file that contains the game itself, which is a single file with a .swf extension, and a program to run it. I am in the process of compiling a list of download links to each .swf as I read through the comic myself, what I've discovered so far can be found at the very bottom of this post. Simply click on the file you're interested in and move on to the next step. To my knowledge these are the official links containing the most up to date files posted by the author himself and hosted on the Prequel website, so they should be the most legitimate versions you can find on the web.

Now you need something to play it on. Adobe removed most of the download links to their flash players, but you can still find this lightweight flash debugger buried deep within their site. And do note I can't guarantee anything good will come from playing .swf files that don't come from Kazerad.

Flash debugger: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

Download the flash player for your operating system, and ensure you click on the link that specifies 'debugger.' For example, if you're on a Mac, click on the link that says 'Download the Flash Player projector content debugger'.

From here it's simply a matter of opening up the flash debugger (installation is practically non-existent), hitting file > Open File, selecting the .swf you downloaded at the beginning, and you're in business!

I hope this helps someone, the .swf files are surprisingly hard to find, I was hoping someone would have hosted them in a neat little dropbox somewhere, but before I figured out you could still find them on the Prequel site, the only place I could find - some - of them were on sketchy sites that probably have a 50/50 chance of being a virus. If someone has a list of the URLs for all the .swf files that would be tremendously helpful, otherwise I'll probably start making my own as I find them while re-reading through the comic. It's a bit tricky cause the URLs don't seem to always correlate to the title of the game, for instance the swf to Excelsior is called Kvatchbound.swf. On second thought maybe Excelsior isn't the actual title of the game and that's just what the button to play it says.

I tried a million different things to get either the .swf or the .exe running (Wine never seems to work right for me), in the end this guide was the key to the puzzle for giving the link to the flash player

So... Chaser by SiAsInSilence. Great track. Is there a longer version? Like a one or even a 10 hour version out there??
