Hi, everyone! I believe this forum was the first place we saw "The Specialists" mentioned online, and I'm really glad that you came back and gave us a second look!
It's unfortunate that you caught us during a long hiatus. I know how this looks. How many webcomics have taken a break and just never come back? But Al and I are committed to finishing our story. It may take us a while, but we've come too far to give up now!
We started a second project, just work on something different after so many years. It's called "Big Universe," and it's a humorous sci-fi anthology. To be honest, that project hasn't come together as quickly as we'd like, but we're nearing the end of our first scene. Our original plan was to switch back and forth between the two comics, releasing a scene at a time. I'm not sure if that will still happen, but we're definitely itching to get back to "The Specialists" soon. Next month will be very busy for us; we're exhibiting at two big conventions in Phoenix and Denver. But after that, I'm hopeful that we will be able to settle into a groove and start getting some work done. In the meantime, I'm working on the script for the remainder of "The Specialists".
We've always intended to have three acts, each with four chapters, for a total of twelve. We've completed six chapters so far, so by that measure, our story is halfway finished. But as I work on the script, I'm starting to wonder if the second half will be as long. It's possible that we'll have fewer chapters, or that the chapters will be shorter, so we're probably more than halfway.
Anyway, thanks again for reading, and thanks to Black Aeronaut for dropping me a line to let me know that this thread was resurrected! I'm glad to be back, and I'm looking forward to checking out the forums and the Access Denied site. I've been a tabletop gamer all my life, and I love world-building, so it looks like there's lots to explore!
