Until a few weeks ago, this didn't seem likely to change. The decision was made:la Vie de la Mort will now be on indefinite hiatus.HOWEVERCertain changes to our circumstances have altered this state of affairs. We are still going on hiatus, but we're setting an approxiamate timehttp://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2009/02/facts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-7925403371868934301Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:03:00 +00002009-01-19T21:04:21.290+11:00Failed again.I'd like to say I've been busy, but that would be a lie.http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2009/01/and-again.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-6168808627656350863Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:19:00 +00002009-01-10T10:22:45.222+11:00I have failed to get fresh scripts to Luke in time for him to produce a page for this update, and I apologise.You should be used to our delays now, right?

Uni is done and I've settled into holiday mode now so we've got the next page ready. We're waiting on the 20th to post it though so as to keep consistent with our normal cycle.This also gives Robert time to finalize the script for page 39 and perhaps for me to get a bit of a head start on illustrating it.With page 38 will come a new vote incentive desktop http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/12/finally.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Luke)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-279055199695832467Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:35:00 +00002008-11-10T01:44:47.018+11:00Hi!We haven't updated you on what's going on in a while. There's one week left of uni, it's going to be an ugly cram but after that I'm in holidays and can look to resuming work on the comic. Naturally there are other things to get done over the break (like launching my personal website which I'll be sure to link on here) so there won't be a multiple pages a week avalanche of production, but http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/11/soon.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Luke)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-2133515027475968173Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:46:00 +00002008-09-20T23:55:19.121+10:00Aloha. Around this time last year comic updates began to flop a lot, that was due to large study and workloads that didn't leave us with enough time to update reasonably.Things are admittedly going to be very similar this year, without the flop part hopefully. Both Robert and I are determined not to let updates slip as horribly as they have in the past but the reality is that we simply don't havehttp://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/09/status.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Luke)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-5264430299910284495Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:14:00 +00002008-09-09T21:22:49.671+10:00So yeah. We're going to be late again.It's my fault, this time (mostly): I've fallen behind with the scripts. There are reasons, but you don't care about them, and they don't qualify as valid excuses. If all goes according to plan, the delay won't be long.Please direct all hate mail to the McCain/Palin campaign.http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/09/late-again.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-1486347731511552147Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:38:00 +00002008-09-01T22:41:16.239+10:00Fresh page!Freshhhhhhhh.http://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/09/37.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-2666280169695677474Sat, 30 Aug 2008 09:25:00 +00002008-08-30T19:27:32.595+10:00Hey, the lateness of page 36's post is resonating a bit in the production line and unfortunately page 37 (due today) is going to be pushed back a bit too. I'm not entirely sure for how long but it should be a tomorrow or monday post.Things will get back on track soon enough. Uni just has very little give this semester.

The next page will regrettably be delayed. Since receiving the scripts about two weeks ago this afternoon has been the first space of time not consumed by fast banking-up uni work I've had. It'll update either tomorrow or Saturday I imagine (Friday is deathcab!!) .

We only recently decided to break the story up into episodes, which I'm using as an excuse (Excuse for what? Well. I'm not sure, but I have the strong impression I need one).The plan is that over the next 10 day cycle we will post two new pages, the first being kind of a recap of what has transpired thus far, the second being thehttp://laviedelamort.comicgenesis.com/news/2008/07/end-of-episode-one.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Robert)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364259208731050861.post-1997082728019740889Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:16:00 +00002008-07-24T16:15:30.833+10:00site designAs some of the more observant among you may have noticed, we have just rebuilt the 'la Vie de la Mort' website.Luke and I are moderately proud of our efforts here, but we can only be really proud once we know it's working for as many people as possible.
