Description
I was at TCAF last weekend, selling comics and meeting some of y'all. It made me think back on this past year and on Dawngate- it was a pretty awesome project, and I realized I never posted this final version of the cover here. We did one limited print run of the comic as a hardcover edition for the team on the game- kind of a yearbook to commemorate the project- regrettably, there aren't enough of those to sell to fans, but at least I can share this with you guys. Onwards to the next great challenge!Related content

Any chance there you know of an archive of the whole comic somewhere online? I remember you were posting the pages of it on here for a while, but stopped around page 30 or so.

There is! and it's over here:Β dawngate.gamepedia.com/Chronicβ¦

Thank you. The whole project was fantastic. I just wish EA actually gave it a full chance instead of pulling the plug soo early. At least the comic and story still survives in some form.

Yeah- they can never take from us what was made.

What I would give to have at least an rough idea of how the story was suppose to go. Just kills me that there isn't going to be any sort of closure. The art and direction it was going in was amazing and I got super invested in every character. Everyone did a stunning job and I'll treasure what was saved.

I think if you do some digging on the ol' Dawngate Reddit, there are some documents posted that outlined some of the plan for the Chronicles. Thank you for the kind words- we all treasure the experience as well

Dawngate had a good story for a MOBA game, which is one of the reasons I started to play Dawngate. Β Making a comic of the story and having the players to choose a path for further and interesting story progression made this game one of the few (or only game) games becoming better then League of Legends or Dota2. It even could become something greater if had continued. League of Legends somewhat ditched the whole story and rather made a "story-event" for some champs, but did not tell any progression of what is going on in that world any more. This is just my opinion. I felt down after knowing that Dawngate got closed.

Still really bummed out that it didn't work :/
At least we can still read all comics you made!

Indeed- and in case you lost track, they're still up here:Β dawngate.gamepedia.com/Chronicβ¦

And just read them all again!

Man, what I wouldn't give to get my hands on a copy of this. I love your work, and it is what drew me to Dawngate in the first place.

I'm so glad, and sorry to have left everyone high and dry on it- it's a turbulent industry
π: 0 β©: 1
It's quite understandable, just the nature of things I suppose. I'm very glad to have shared in it while it lasted.
Maybe someday soon I'll get to cross my Zeri cosplay off my bucket list.

Oh gosh. It would be a dream come true! I have always wanted to design something people want to cosplay!

I'll be sure to share photos when she's finished!
The props are proving to be quite a challenge.

Haha- I bet! I'd probably start with brooms and...I dunno...cardboard and paint
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, I had thought that at first, but I think a foam core for the brush heads would be lighter, and I'd want to make it easy to transport, so I'd most likely have each brush break down into three sections of pvc rod, similar to a staff I did recently. The rest is figuring out the cosmetic bits, which is the tricky part X3
And then there's the matter of rigging a harness that won't be visible, so I can strap these securely to my back!

hehe- I didn't even think about transportation- cosplay is so much more complicated than I tend to think!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, I wasn't aware of how complicated it could actually be until I started working with props! And also sewing, which is both simple and very complicated. Weird how that works.

So bummed I didn't get a copy of this because it was amazing! Thanks for sharing it here C:

Have you or anyone else written anywhere about what happened to the DawnGate project? The comic stopped updating and from you it sounds like Dawngate is finished but I don't know where I can find out more about it.
π: 0 β©: 2
Well, if you check out the Dawngate subreddit, there's plenty of explanation there. If you're just looking for archived comic pages you can find them here:Β dawngate.gamepedia.com/Chronicβ¦
Sort version: EA Cancelled the project and that was that :/

Someone else told me what happened but thank you for answering!

The project was shut down. :C
I'm still heartbroken about it.

That is really sad, but thanks for telling me.

No problem, I just wish it wasn't true.
