The logo looks cool!!
hi! the car in the cover/ graphic is a Ford Falcon XB and the icon is a BMW M3 e30. so you were right about the german import haha!
as for the cars in game, i am going to keep that under wraps for now!
The chase scene and āintroā to the crew has me in tears.
Oh this. This is interesting. Your writing style trapped me in the first page, without even mentioning the character interactionsā¦Iām very interested in where this is going.
This is awesome. The end made me laugh. Looking forward to more updates
I love this. It doesnāt seem as gritty like the other stories in the genre but it looks fun. Definitely has some Baby Driver vibes goin on
thank you so much!! i was a big fast and furious fan growing up haha so itās definitely an influence. i love the flashy and cheesy fun side of it all!
Lol my cousin would force me to watch those movies with him everytime lol. The only one I liked was Tokyo Drift.
Just finished reading this and I loved it! I know less than nothing about cars lmao, but your writing style is so vivid and descriptive, and it really sucked me in!
I really loved Maz so far, ngl. And as a fellow italian speaker, I was so happy to see them speaking italian too!
Just a few translation notes:
In the beginning, it should be āSucchiami il cazzoā instead of āSucaā (āSuck my dickā, instead of just āSuckā)
After the chase, when they say āSfacim e merdeā, Iāll be real and say I have no idea what theyāre saying lmao. Tbf, āsfacimā could be a word in a dialect Iām not familiar with, but āmerdeā should be āmerdaā instead (āmerdeā is actually how you say shit in French, not Italian)
Italian writer here to the rescue, agree with the first one even though we say suca which isnāt exactly the same as saying suck my dick, itās more of a āIn your face!ā And i disagree with the second. Sfacim e merde itās in southern dialect and correct as it is.
Actually Iām impressed, itās rare to see Italian written correctly by non Italian writers.
Ngl, Iāve never heard either of those used that way, but it could also be bc I havenāt really lived in Italy itself and my family who does live in Italy didnāt really grow up in the southern provinces.
And yeah, same! Those two things confused me, but other than that, I was really impressed by how everything else was written! I especially liked the detail of Maz stumbling on the āsong and danceā expression while speaking English - Iām fluent in both languages and it still happens to me all the time lmao.
your style of writing is great, I enjoyed the read from beginning to end! Itās going to be interesting to see where this story is going
thank you both so much! i really appreciate the input. iāve been working with a friend of mine who is Italian for the Maz translations. from what sheās told me āSucaā is slang, so i imagine itās specific to her dialect/region. iām glad Maz came across positively in general though
I know I already screamed in your dms about this on Tumblr, but now I have the ability to do it on the forums too. I was super excited when you first posted about this wip on Tumblr, and I knew that I was going to keep my eye out for it.
From what Iāve read so far, youāre a brilliant writer as well as an artist (seriously⦠if you could spare me some of your talent Iād love that!). Everything felt so real, and action-packed, and immersive and I canāt wait to see this wip grow.
MILLAAA! honestly, seeing you pop up made my day haha!! your support and enthusiasm is such a blessing, i canāt thank you enough i am so glad youāre enjoying it so far!!!
Iām really loving this so far - Maz already seems like an awesome character, and the action is well written and a lot of fun.
Just a question - is the demo going to remain at the prologue and chapter 1, or are we going to get updates with more chapters as you finish/polish them? Just something Iām not really clear on as I noticed you mentioned youāve already written chapter 2 and 3.
Anyway, canāt wait to (hopefully) meet more of the crew and get into plenty of trouble!
hi! thank you so much for your feedback :)! yes, the project will be updated as i progress. i plan to release ch2 when ch4 is complete.
Iāve missed some criminal action. Was fun to read, good luck with your work!
thank you so much!
hello again and happy feb! i realised i keep forgetting to post my updates here too, oops!
thereās not much to report on at the moment - all i can say is that iāve been writing!
things have been progressing steadily. iāve been able to write 12k for ch4 last month, putting it at a total of 18k! so we are over the halfway point!! editing is solely focused on ch2 right now, which is currently sitting around 30.8k.
total word count: 118k
i have set myself a few goals for this year - the priority to launch a patreon at the end of the year and celebrate the first year milestone! i have ideas planned for the extra content/short stories - a summer special, an end of year/seasonal special and a jax special
i havenāt drawn at all this month, but i am hoping to whip up some portraits for maggie, jax and taha soon!!
lastly, and given my progress, i am confident that the tentative release date for ch .02 will remain the 3rd of march. so excited to share more soon!
edit: ch. 02 will be released on the 10th of march!
thank you for your support and patience
