Comic Book Direction Poll
🕑 Added 2025-06-04 21:12:56 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned before, Techdeck'd's first issue is coming to a close this month, and I'm wondering what my supporters want to see next! My two-computer render farm can only put out so much, so I want to make sure people are getting what they want on the comic book side of things.
I've done a lot of world building for the $IZECOIN story and some character drafts, and it has the potential to be enormous in scope, with the potential for lots of spinoffs and offshoots.
For the main arc, Cale (pictured below) sees an easy investment opportunity in a cryptocurrency that temporarily takes your size ($ZE) and exchanges your molecular structure for medical imaging studies for money. But always one to try to game the system, Cale gets more than he bargains for when he pushes the wallet to its limits. There's lots of opportunity to play with the billionaire's tininess permanence: data egress to get your $ZE back is expensive, so your time tiny needs to be worth the regrowth cost; hacking the hardware to make more money voids the warranty; the general release of the coin could overload the system and make regrowth impossible; a run on the bank could make it impossible to sell, rendering Cale and everyone else that invested tiny forever...
Here's the thing: $IZECOIN is gonna need a fair bit of setup for the shrinking and sexy bits. With Techdeck'd, we're ready for sexy time. I have to set up the world, the shrinking mechanics, and the characters. The scenes I've written (see attachment) don't involve shrinking yet, so it'd be a fair bit before things get really interesting.
I'm not committed to the characters' looks. Jordan came out of the oven with a little more muscle definition than I'd hoped, but maybe y'all like him?
tldr;
So, are we ready to take things to the next level with Techdeck'd and see what happens when Isaac takes his lil bully home? Or, do we want new characters and an enormous story? Lemme know! You guys rock!
