First visit to the site?
Troothful Tales is the home of the internet's hottest up-and-coming little story about the adventuring duo Shepry and Koen. I'm Trooth, and I run everything around this area.
All of this is done in my free time. I don't have a strict updating schedule. It may be weeks or months between updates, or it may be a few hours. At any rate, I am a college student who must put work ahead of this place.
I'd like to add some other kind of content to the site, but I don't know what. Maybe a video series where I amusingly talk about things or narrate things or... Some... things..... TBA
There were some other projects in the past, including some illustrated continuous choose-your-own-adventure type stories and a linear comic. The comic was actually Shepry and Koen (the earlier-mentioned written story) but the artwork grew too time-consuming for me, and writing comes easier. I can't say whether I'll ever pick these up again.
THE LATEST NEWS
July 15, 2009:
I've now put up Chapter 10 of Shepry and Koen. I'm still looking into paid promotion of the site, and additionally, other people might start posting projects of their own on here. I know a couple of people who are also into writing, so perhaps they'll be putting things here too.
In other news, one or two people have asked me about the CYOAs starting up again. The issue with those is that it kind of started feeling tedious, and I didn't want them to get stale before anybody really knows they exist. I still think they have potential and would like to get back into them, but not before there's an audience for them outside of the members of ragdollsoft.com, y'know? =/ I tell ya what: I'll pick the CYOAs up again when there are 1,000 members on my forum. How does that sound? ;) Be sure you stop by the forum! And tell all your friends to do the same.

Today I put chapter 9 of Shepry and Koen up. It's much longer and much less illustrated than past chapters. Actually... No illustrations this time. I had one ready as you can probably see by the little update picture, but it seems that somehow I neglected to save the full-size version. I can't find it anywhere on my computer. Either I saved it in some foreign location without paying attention, or I left my computer with Photoshop open and my computer restarted itself, or I just plain forgot to save. Hard to say. Anyway, there isn't a whole lot to illustrate in this chapter.
In other news, I've recently considered looking into making paid promotion of this site. Getting the word out as passively as I've been doing so far doesn't seem to do the trick. Then again, this might not be something to consider until I've contributed more to the site.
In additional news, I've been thinking more about starting a side project. I might like to make videos where I offer reviews of little-known things things that I like, or of well-known things, done in a humorous way. Alternatively (or additonally) I've considered some kind of chat show starring my friends and me. At any rate, stuff like that might not actually start until I get back into school, purely for the convenience of having the time and means to do it. Anyway, be sure you stop by the forum!
May 28, 2009:
Big site changes coming today. The CYOAs and Shepry and Koen (in comic form) are indefinitely halted, and instead I'm going to be focusing on writing and occasionally illustrating Shepry and Koen. I guess the interactive element here is gone, but you can still tell me what you think. Also, be sure you stop by the forum!
(If you should care about such a thing)
