Geez louise.
Hey all! It's been a busy year. Most of last year I had a new job with a long commute.
The commute was so long that I had like, nowhere near even a fraction of the time I used to have.
I've been really focused on streaming lately.
I've done a fair bit of music and art over there.
Anyway, now that page 25 is done, next up for me is more stream stuff.
I'm also going to try to improve my webcomic's site engine, which I use to make interactive stuff easier to do.
I'd like to make it easier to fade between different music tracks,
and I'd like to make it easier to pull off this page's fade effect on demand.
Yes, I could just copy the code exactly as written, but the implementation was a pain to pull off
and I'd rather just have a function I can call on demand for that sort of effect.
I'd also like to get an in-site IRC working, an i-frame that leads to the wiki,
and perhaps a cursor tracker. So you can see the cursors of other users in the waiting room.
Some of these will be more feasible than others to implement, but dreaming big got me this far!
I did in fact scope creep my way into finishing only like four pages in 2024, for what it's worth, but you know what?
They were good pages. Page 25 was another good page. And Page 26? It's gonna be another good page.
Anyway. Join the discord if you haven't already, I'm pretty chatty there.
But for the webcomic-onlys, and I know there are some of you at least, I'm just happy people still care about crosslink.
Even if I do keep you waiting again, just trust that this ride isn't over.
Okay all, see you at the next page!

Hi! I owe you all an explanation for my absence and relative lack of updates.
In short: my grandma passed away around the time I made the last blogpost.
I have been visiting my grandfather, who is now a widower, every week since then.
I have also been working on several pieces of music which I had been commissioned to do.
On my birthday, I decided to offer sketch slots in exchange for donations to Doctors without Borders.
To my delight, twelve people took me up on that offer! But that meant twelve sketches to do.
Fortunately, I'm halfway done with them. Also fortunately, I've nearly finished the music commission!
So far this year alone I've produced music for
PocketwithFrog, Juno Dragoness, Wyrm on a String, and Lady Teelia.
But once I'm done with this commission for Pocket, it's 100% back on track for Crosslink!
So once again, tell a friend, catch up on the new pages, and get ready for a fun time.
I've been producing a lot more lore over on the wiki.
If you want something new to read, try clicking around on the wiki! There's lots of stuff.
The next several pages are scripted and written, it's just a matter of getting the art and music done.

Hey all, Bearglyph here!
Sorry there's not been any updates recently. I kinda ADHD'd. A little.
I developed a simpler art style for the express purpose of getting pages out faster.
And then I did what I do and thought:
"Oh, simpler art style! I can do more drawings per page now!
And, promptly, uh... Ummm....
This page has like, 30 illustrations on it.
And then like four of them are full-color illustrations anyway.
So... Well, not faster, but this page is actually becoming something quite nice.
Anyway. Expect that by the end of this month, and then I need to handcuff myself.
Because otherwise I will scope creep my way into only finishing like four pages this year! AHH!
Okay bye

What... What year is it...
Did I forget to update this for an entire year??
Yes. Yes, I did. But I also added pages 16-20 to the comic.
Page 21 is almost done, too! I'm doing a few short animations right now.
If you're reading this in the near future, maybe those short animations are why you're here!
If so, thanks! It means a lot to me that you checked out my comic.
I'm just taking a break from the "bad bitch" animation by updating this.
Okay, see you again in hopefully not another entire year!
This has been your Author, Bear the Glyph.
