At The Edge of the World Development

This blog will document the development of Paper Game: At the Edge of the World. A comic novel that I've been writing since roughly December 2012. Since then the book has gone through about 4 overhauls where I've dropped all progress and started fresh, Once the book has been completed I plan to sync every page to a computer and begin work on a storyboard film adaptation of it, complete with original voice acting and all.
