Search - Comics

The My Colony Universe website uses the same base code as the main Ape Apps site (the site you are on right now), but has been lingering for months on an older build of the code. As a result, a lot of things on the site were just broken, one of which being the entire Comics section of the site.

As of now, both this site and the My Colony Universe have been migrated to the latest code, and this brings improvements all around, but particularly to the aforementioned Comics functionality.

The Comics section will now display each available comic book in "book cover" format. In addition though, there have been major upgrades to the Print layout for a comic book. I had originally envisioned that a reader, if he or she wanted, would be able to print a comic book out using their own printer. Now when you are inside a comic book (see the Deimos Comic for example) and choose to Print from your browser, all extraneous site information is hidden and you are given a clean comic header including title and page number (for best effect, you should turn off the browser provided headers and footers). The pages are formatted to come out right on either US Letter or A4 paper sizes in portrait mode.


Anyway, the Comics section is currently not very utilized, but I do plan to eventually have the entire Deimos trilogy story on there, as well as the Death 3D story, and probably some other My Colony related stores as well. The comics are built using characters from My Tokens, but can also be made using any custom artwork, as seen from @GeneralWadaling 's comic The Ancient Archives. In addition, anybody with an Ape Apps Account should be able to create their own My Colony Universe fan comic in the Comics section at My Colony Universe.

And coming to the My Colony website next week, something awesome for all My Colony 2 modders, but stay tuned for that.....

So sometimes when I'm working I end up getting sidetracked and start developing something that's just completely random. Well, today was one of those days. When you are browsing inside of a forum thread, instead of clicking on the New Reply button, you can click on the little "three dots" drop-down menu to find a brand new option, New Comic Strip.


So what is this madness? Well, if you have used the app My Tokens and have saved some token characters to your account, you can now use them as characters for your very own comic strip, using the new Comic Strip post type on the forum! The end result gets you something like this:


So where did this weirdness come from? Well, back in 2001 (my first year of college), some friends and I worked at a call center where we took technical support calls for the soon to be released original Xbox console. Since the console was not released yet, we barely got any calls, other than random pranks from PS2 and Gamecube fans.

So to pass the time, we spend a lot of hours on the internet. One of the sites we went to, which still exists today, was the Red Meat Construction Set, a website which let you make your own custom comic strip in the style of Max Cannon's Red Meat comics.

Anyway, we were recently reminiscing about the "old days," as old friends often do, and the topic of those old custom Red Meat comics came up, which we generally used to troll each other with. So this morning before starting work, I just searched the net to see if the old Construction Set website still existed, and it did! Of course, it seems barely functional now, and feels a lot more basic than it did back in 2001.

Then I got to thinking, maybe I could just whip out something similar real quick, using My Tokens characters? Then I thought even further, what if I just baked it right into my forums software? So that's exactly what I did, and now here we are a few hours later, and you can use the Ape Apps website to make My Tokens comic strips!

So anyway, there you have it. It's just a fun little toy to play around with on the site. If it gets any usage, I can add more features to it. I also thought I might create My Tokens for all of the Deimos characters from Deimos 1, 2, and 3 (which all take place in the My Colony universe), and put together a little downloadable PDF "comic book" of the full Deimos story using this new feature, although I would have to add a few things to it first to make it properly.

But yeah, enjoy the new feature, let me know if you like it, and let me know if you want me to add anything to it! Or if you want me to just stop putzing around and get back to My Colony updates, let me know that too! 😄

Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern horror gaming, thrilling millions of players worldwide since its launch in 2014. Created by Scott Cawthon, this series captivates not only with its heart-pounding gameplay but also with its intricate lore and sinister animatronic characters, which embody an unsettling charm that belies their dark nature.

Set in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a seemingly innocent family restaurant, the game introduces iconic animatronics like Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, designed to entertain children by day. However, once night falls, these characters transform into fearsome predators, driven by a mysterious and deadly agenda. Players must navigate the role of a night security guard, utilizing a limited power supply and a network of security cameras to survive the terrifying onslaught until the break of dawn.

Yet, the game transcends the typical jump-scare experience. fnaf is layered with a profound narrative woven through themes of loss, betrayal, and the supernatural. The story unfolds through haunting mysteries, including the disappearances of children and the actions of William Afton (Purple Guy), the series’ notorious antagonist whose malevolence haunts the gameplay. Ghostly spirits and tragic backstories add depth to the animatronics, transforming them into symbols of grief and vengeance that linger within the walls of the pizzeria.

The impact of Five Nights at Freddy’s reaches far beyond the realm of gaming, inspiring a wealth of adaptations in literature, comics, and even anticipated film projects. This expansive universe has captivated a dedicated fanbase that eagerly engages in deciphering its intricate lore and character motivations, making FNAF a cultural phenomenon in horror media.

With its chilling atmosphere and complex storytelling, Five Nights at Freddy’s offers more than just a fright; it's an unsettling exploration of humanity’s darker impulses and their haunting consequences. If you find thrill in the shadows and are drawn to unravel the enigmas of fear, Five Nights at Freddy’s is an unforgettable experience waiting to be explored.
