The Other Side of Life (Part 5)
Today is Requiem’s sixth birthday. One thousand, seven hundred and seventy comics (not including intro pieces and such).
Heck, just saying it sounds surreal.
Things are still on track creatively, and hardware-wise as well. The new system has been absolutely wonderful so far (Thanks to everyone who helped out once again 
). The only thing is, I have a tendency to push things as hard as I can, and now I’ve gotten into the habit of slamming as much stuff as I can into a scene just for the hell of it now ;) And lemme tell ya, it is a great problem to have :) Since the upgrade, we’ve been constantly running a month ahead (buffer-wise) which is definitely a new experience for us.
The other thing that has changed is our ability to have more people in a scene before memory issues kill us. In addition, we’ve also taken the opportunity to expand a lot of the sets we’ve used (the reconstituted Sapphire you are in now is one example).
As for the future, I hope like hell to finally get Book 2 finished, as well as flesh out/resume some other external projects. And of course, we will be answering mysteries along the way. Also a lot of work on the followup comics to Requiem is done as well. The way things are shaping up for the followups…things are in some ways actually darker than Requiem is (which kinda screws with my head a bit)
Anywho….Thanks to everyone who stops in and reads this little story. I wish you all the best, and I promise that this will get finished.
It just may take a while 
Woohoo. Party time for the comic’s B/day.
6 years is a hell of a long time for a comic on the web and it goes to show how strong it is. Great work.
Plus if you quit now hundreds of people heads would explode form the suspense!

Damn friggin straight. I stumbled across this randomly–and now i’m too interested in the story to NOT find out how it ends.
Besides…the occasional OWoD reference made me laugh.
Well happy birthday! And thank you so much for the song, it’s… it’s what it is.
Thank you. As for the background music at the Sapphire, I’ve been a huge Midnight Oil fan for years, and some of that was bound to creep in
happy b-day and may there be lots more comics to come
Happy birthday!
As someone who began following the comic fairly recently, I’m still a bit awed at it, and really, really glad I’ve came upon it.
So, thank you guys!
You’re quite welcome.
Congratulations, and best wishes for continued success!
Thank you
Six years and all those pages … WOW! Congratulations!
Thank you. I never would have thought starting this thing that we would be six years gone, and still not finished
Can you tell us approximately how far into the overall storyline we are (percentage wise) or is that info off limits? To put it another way can we expect another 6 years of a great comic!
I think we’re in the 60% range right now. Which gives you another 3-4 years at least
Of course, after this, the followup with the survivors will pick up.
Which means that I’ll be doing this thing until I die
