Announcing: the Dreamscape Dilemma (and our Patreon)

Today, I have an exciting new double announcement! Behind the scenes, I have been working with artist PhasmaGORE on a new story titled the Dreamscape Dilemma. Unlike our previous stories on the website, this will be a premium [paid] comic you will be able to purchase upon completion. It will be made available digital-first as a PDF here (through a direct purchase PayPal link) and several other places that conveniently sell digital comics, such as our GlobalComix profile. We will also do a print run for the first volume (about ten chapters) upon completion, but we will consider setting each chapter up for print-on-demand if there is enough of a demand for it.

This first chapter will be a thirty-page introduction and feature black and white interior art. The story is aimed at people aged ten and up (primarily due to the level of language complexity at times) and is for anyone who enjoys sincere adventure stories with strange settings. The tale follows several kids who fell into a deep slumber and are now wandering the land where dreams come from while they solve the mystery as to why they were pulled down there in the first place. We start things off with the perspective of Kenji Tanaka from Japan, who collapses one day during an after-school baseball game and comes to in his nightmare. Below will be the first five pages of the first chapter as a preview. But first, we have our second announcement.

I understand that it’s always been a little awkward to support Ex Dynamis Chaos financially, and we want to give you a way to not only help fund the book before it is finished, but also get to read the individual pages as they are completed. With that in mind, I finally caved in and set up a Patreon for Ex Dynamis Chaos. You will still be able to donate directly to the site, but this is an option that many people prefer and it allows for recurring perks for subscribers. And yes, all funds collected through Patreon will be added to the leaderboard like normal.

As of now, there are only three subscription tiers. The first tier is for EDK in general, meaning all the free stuff I put up on this website and mirror everywhere else. Because that one is centered around content that is otherwise free, I will be adding tons of random exclusive perks such as behind-the-scenes content and works-in-progress, as well as old art and content that existed before I made the website and is no longer canon or accurate. Also, if I personally release any premium comics or works (where I do every role by myself) during a month you are subscribed, you will receive a PDF of it.

The second tier is dedicated to funding the Dreamscape Dilemma, and as such, I will be splitting half of the funds from those subscriptions specifically with the PhasmaGORE. This tier will give you access to the pages as they are completed, behind-the-scenes content, any digital extras we create, and a PDF copy of the finished chapter (as long as you subscribed any month during the making of that specific chapter). The final tier is just a combo pack for both previous tiers in case you are that awesome individual who wants to support everything (PhasmaGORE will get the same amount from this tier as the Dreamscape Dilemma subscription). All of these tiers will also grant access to supporter-only zones across any of our spaces, such as here on the website or in our Discord server. If you are someone who doesn’t jive with Patreon, that is fine. Message me directly anywhere and I’ll set up a direct subscription through PayPal and get you the perks through an acceptable method (probably email).

Enjoy the preview!

Happy Year of the Snake!

This year in the lunar cycle, you are greeted by Persephone d’Charone! She has yet to make her debut in any of the Ex Dyanmis Chaos stories (though if I get back to writing the webnovel she is in the next episode of EDK) but is lurking in the background and very important to the workings of the world. She is a witch and the leader of the Grand Coven. She recently took over the organization from…

Ex Dynamis Chaos is now on Fables

Fables is a new webcomic publication platform from the same people who run Top Web Comics, which is designed specifically to benefit creators. Months ago, Mr. Terzich was asked if our comics could be part of the launch line and he personally made sure everything was ready to go. Reading our comics through Fables will directly benefit us including things like a cut of ad revenue on our comic…

Ex Dynamis Chaos Act I: Episode 2 - Magnetic Mayhem

The borough of Uptown Dallas was busy as always on this most whimsical of Summer days. Cars packed the market streets both East and West of State Highway number 75, which had a smooth flow to itself being between rush hours in the midday. People outnumbered the cars, walking in and out and up and down the storefront ways; they filled the parks too, if and so you would believe it. All was in line…

Happy Year of the Dragon!

This year in the lunar cycle, you are greeted by Zhu-zhu Meilong! She’s yet to make an appearance in any of our stories, but she is scurrying around somewhere out there waiting for her debut. Zhu-zhu is a charming dragon who is also very lazy and eats way more than her share. She gets far too attached to people once she likes them and can be a pain to get rid of. We hope you enjoy this year of…

Website 5th Anniversary Community Event

Let's have fun celebrating our 5th Anniversary together!

We are surprised that the fifth anniversary is sneaking up on us this next Wednesday and would like to do something to celebrate. We won’t be running a contest or anything since Mr. Terzich is still guiltily backlogged on the 4 pages shorts for the Grand Prizes of previous contests, but we want to do a collaboration instead. The plan is to make a collage by everyone who wants to be a part of it.…

Art Round-up Dec 21, 2022

It’s been a while, but we actually have a new piece for an Art Round-up. This one comes from a friend of Mr. Terzich who happens to be a fan of the stories, PhasmaGORE [Twitter/Newgrounds]. She is particularly fond of A Hymn of Valor and its titular protagonist, so she drew up this fun piece of the lad after just firing off one his plasma blasts. She is also a creator and has a series named…

This one comes later in the day than normal because we don’t make posts like this until the piece is publicly published by the author, even if we’re aware it already exists privately. But, Mr. Trerzich missed the upload due to his insistence on ignoring the internet on April Fool’s Day (who could blame him) and only just today saw it. Anyhow, another acquaintance of his through the Newgrounds…
