Parte 02 – Página 54

17 Febrero, 2010

And here ends part 02.

Feel free to comment on this whole part if you like. I don’t think this time a postmortem is necessary (or, at least, not a full post just for that), and having the comments here in the page feels more natural, anyway. Among other things, I’m interested in knowing what do you think of the new art style (where it’s just pencil and color, no inks). Also, I’m considering upping the realism level of the visuals for the next one. That means making it slightly more realistic, like the close-up faces of the last two pages. The real downside to that (apart from your hypothetical rejection) is that it takes more time to create a page that way, and that goes against all the measures I’ve taken to reduce the production time so far.

And, talking about the next part, contrary to my original plan the next part (part 03) is going to be the final one.  The suppressed part (Pulsar’s story) will be merged into it and, after that, Robomeks will end. It’ll also be a huge one,  with a extension close, if not bigger, to that of part 01.

Finally, as I stated several times now, I’m taking a break from publishing Robomeks, starting now. The length of this inactivity period is yet to be determined, but I can assure you it won’t be less than a month. My guess is not more than two, though. Meanwhile, I’ll keep posting from time to time with some updates about the upcoming part and some random eyecandy and, eventually, you’ll get the notice of the return of the publishing schedule. I’d say it’s a good time to subscribe to the RSS feed if you haven’t done so, as that’s the easiest way to keep track of any news related to Robomeks. If you don’t know what an RSS feed is you can read this newspost I wrote a while back where I explain that and the other means of keeping up with this site.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading Robomeks and, see you soon!

A paramedic is talking to Witty. Ace is besides her.

PARAMEDIC: Let's see, we have two injured children, boys, and a girl that will be put under observation.

ACE: So, what? Have you two guys come into terms or have you finally realized the four eyes is a total freak?

WITTY: Shh... Not now, Ace!

Witty talks to the paramedic, ignoring Ace.

WITTY: What about the robot warehouse? There were combat units down there.

PARAMEDIC: Oh yes, it's amazing the kind of stuff one can find. It must be a remnant of the Conflict. Your dad's foundation will take care of that. But, that's not my job. So, let me recap. Two boys and a girl, right? Is that all? No one else?

WITTY: No. No one else.

In the dark of the sewers we can see Darkstar, looking up.

Tip: Segmenting visitors by screen resolution in Google Analytics

The problem

I needed to answer this question: How many readers will be affected by the bigger size of the new site design?

Basically, I needed to know how many visitors are using a screen resolution higher or lower than the one I had in mind, which is 1280×800. A high proportion of visitors with a lower resolution than that would mean that I’d better reconsider downsizing the site to, say, a 1024 width, as it’ll impact negatively the usability of the site for them.

Fortunately, Google Analytics has a nice feature that can answer that question as long as you want to deal with regular expressions. And, fortunately again, I’ve done the hard work for you.

Happy Halloween from Robomeks!

Up there you can see, from left to right, Ace dressed up as Ash (from Evil Dead movie series), Witty as Asajj Ventress (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series) and Vincent as Gordon Freeman (from the Half-Life game series).

And below the special pin-up from last year’s Halloween. I’ve talked about it around here already, but very few of you got the chance to see it, as it was never posted in the main site.
