Previous News09.04.2006 - Terrence Marks:Our schedule for September is:Namir Deiter updates Monday through Friday
You say it First updates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Spare Parts updates Monday and Friday
NamirDeiter.net will have a bonus comic on Tuesdays. There will still be sketches every other day of the week.
We're off to a strong start this month, so help us out and we'll be back on the deluxe schedule (7 Namir Deiter, 6 You Say It First, 3 Spare Parts, 2 NamirDeiter.net per week). This month's NamirDeiter.net bonus comic strip is a new chapter of Grover Hills. This month's bonus book is "Shandra in Wonderland", in which Shandra's subconscious gets the better of her as it tries to make her relationship with Todd an actual relationship. As usual, it will be sent out after we reach $600 in donations.
Also, we're doing one wallpaper a month from now on. We had taken that out of the donation bonus list a few months ago. We're really proud of this month's wallpapers and hope you enjoy them.
08.28.2006 - Terrence Marks:Spare Parts got redesigned. It's a good layout, a bit simpler and a lot less orange. There were some minor code updates, too. We intend to redesign (and standardize the code behind) the rest of our sites in the near future. And it's getting very close to the end of the month - we're about halfway to our goal, and the more you donate, the more you get.08.21.2006 - Isabel Marks:The ND Unlimited Store's sale is going on for one more day, but ends at 10PM PST this Monday night! Don't miss your chance at getting a dollar off each book you purchase!
Naimr Deiter's character page has had a major revamp- new characters added- existing character pages updated and refurbished- I still have a lot to do with it, I admit, but I made a lot of progress with it...
Spare Part's page still needs to be revamped, I know... and You Say it First needs some more work to it too- but I have some other site related things to go beforehand- hopefully I can get to all those little to-do's by the middle of next month.
Just ten days left to the month and we're still not quite to our goal, please consider donating to help all our web comics continue on their current schedule. Just ten dollars gets you over 100 wallpapers, a ton of exclusive web comics and daily commentary, plus a 12-page bonus book on-line if we make the $600 goal. If you donate $50 or more, the bonus book will be sent to your home, along side one of the original hand drawn pages from that bonus book.
Speaking of the $50 donation gifts... last month's thank you items have been mailed out as of Friday- some of you may even have it now. Thank you to everyone who donated!08.13.2006 - Isabel Marks:There's a sale going on over at the ND Unlimited Store in honor of back to school week (for some of us...)- save a dollar off every book purchased! Please consider purchasing a book today!
Terrence did some behind the scenes tweaking work to the archive pages for ND. Some changes will be noticeable, others less so. There's still more work to be done, but it'll mostly all be on our end.
The cast page's updates are almost ready! Expect a larger update for it next week.
This month's bonus book has been announced! We at ND.net are proud to present...Sea Dreams! Book One: First Sails tells the story of Jun (of namirdeiter.net infamy) and her dreams of a life of a young captin's first time at sea. Is Jun's imaganation just working overboard at night or is there more to her dreams than letting on... 12 pages, in color. $50 donators will recieve a book in the mail as well as an orgional page in the mail. All donators of $10 will recieve the bonus book digitally (on-line for six months) as well as a one month account to NamirDeiter.net, home to daily bonus sketches, two bonus comics a week (this month featuring one shots from all our series), daily comic commentaty and more wallpapers than you can shake a mouse at (ok, so maybe you could, but I digress...). Please support the comic and consider donating today!Speaking of the $50 donators... last month's bonus books (and art) will be sent out by the end of the week, sorry for the delay. Hopefully I can get to work on it soon.
And a big thank you to Bill Holbrook who was kind enough to sell our books (in addition to his own, of course) at Otakon. Thank you, Bill!08.08.2006 - Terrence Marks:Isabel's taking a "blah" day. She's feeling too well. She's not sick, but she needs a break. She promises double comics tomorrow.07.24.2006 - Isabel Marks:With only one week to go and the total so low, we here at ND Unlimited are wondering just how we can serve you better. Please feel free to drop us a line, we'd love to hear from you.
Well, not too much more news than that... still not doing 100% as a result of food poisoning, I'm wondering just how (and if) I'm going to make it through the Summer. The cover for "Auditions" is penciled, but I usually like to wait till at least $300 before even getting as far as making the cover... but it looks like I'll have to make an exception.07.17.2006 - Isabel Marks:"Girlfriends", last month's bonus book, has been shipped out (some of you may even have it right now!), thank you for your patience. I'm doing a bit better, but poor Terry is still fighting a cough (and yes, he has seen a doctor and is taking prescribed medication for it).
As some of you may know, last month's bonus book is to be the last physical book sent to $10 donators. From now on all books will be viewed on-line over at Namirdeiter.net. Some of you might be wondering why we are changing the format... the answer is simply this: time. It would take the two of us days to get the books made and shipped. Add that to the money it would cost to print the books (not as much as you'd think, but it was a factor). If it was just time or just money, it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately the two combined along side a few financial set backs made us finally decide on the matter. I hope you all will enjoy the digital versions, which will be all in color and, since you don't have to wait for shipping, will be available much sooner to you!
