For the past year I've been working on a little webcomic called Namedude Quests (in hindsight I could've chosen a better name, it was the first thing that came to mind.) It's something not too dissimilar from MSPA, a site for suggestion-based stories, Problem Sleuth and RubyQuest were huge inspirations, so if you like those, you might like what I'm doing. The current (and only) story on the site is called Mitzi, and it's about a weird green girl doing dumb stuff.
I'll be posting updates and progress on new panels here, but if you want to discuss suggestions or give feedback feel free to do so, it's always appreciated :]

read through the story so far yesterday and it's pretty fucking rad!
love the inclusion of actual flash animations and games. Like, I was actually a little surprised when the Ruffle loading screen appeared. It reminds me not of Homestuck (surprisingly) but more of the flash sites I used to be enamored with when I was younger (...ok, not that many years ago but still) like HomestAR Runner and Stickpage (I was never a newgrounds kid, I just watched eddsworld on youtube). The whole thing feels like it was torn out of the internet 15 years ago and carefully preserved. can't tell if that last minigame is meant to be the end of Mitzi's quest, but if it is, that's a pretty funny way to end it. perfectly underwhelming choose your own ending bit! keep it up (or tell your art elves to keep it up... and maybe raise their salaries?)
I'm really glad you liked it! A lot of early-mid 2000's websites inspired it (Homestar Runner is great) and I've been using Flash for a long time, so I felt like there wasn't any reason not to just use it for the art and animation given the style I wanted to go for.
Mitzi isn't over yet, I've actually been working on a new minigame this week where you control Mitzi exploring Lily's apartment. I've been fleshing out some ideas for another quest, though. It's less light-hearted and silly but still has the same general style that Mitzi does. When Mitzi ends I'll probably make an end screen like the one in Problem Sleuth so people aren't left wondering if it's really over or not.
Anyways,
New Mitzi update! Only 5 panels were added, but one of them is a Shockwave page with a bit of interactivity!

Ironically enough, 8 new panels were added on the 8th page. (Sorry I didn't post here yesterday, I was very tired.)

just wanted to say, i really like this
i love the sketchy-scrathy artstyle u r using for the characters, enjoy the small interactable games
im really looking forward for what could be next time
and also the art elves are silly and i also like them :o)
I'm glad you liked it, Categg! I update every Friday and have an RSS feed in case you want to check in when it updates. I wish I could update more but school and life stuff gets in the way of making my silly little story, but I'm very glad people are enjoying it :]
