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!
