Some announcements

Posté le 8 October 2024 par Nimatek Webmestre

Today, we have several announcements to make, some more important than others, depending on the situation!

1 – Weekly drawings paused

This is the most important announcement we have to make: the weekly drawings, published right here and on Instagram, are going on hiatus for an undetermined period of time, but which, in all likelihood, will not go beyond mid-November. The reason? There are two of us at Nimatek. One is very busy with her comic project, and the other is having an anxiety attack. Obviously, things couldn’t go on like this, so we had to take a break until things settled down.

2 – The sequel to Nuibie College starts from scratch (again)

The next iteration of “Nuibie College” (the latest, “La rentrée des crasses”, is currently available exclusively in French and for our fanzine) has seen its development restarted from scratch. Note that this is not the first time that this comic, whose development began in September 2023 (just after the completion of “La rentrée des crasses”), has been “restarted”, so much so that it is a recurring issue for Técé, from a storytelling point of view. The reasons for this are hard to explain (we’ll certainly talk about them one day), but the fact remains that it’s starting all over again, and putting off the English translation and free release of “La rentrée des crasses” all the more. We’re sorry about that.

3 – Nimatek.fr will change its formula

This website is about to undergo a major change. The fact that the weekly drawings are published for each drawing is beginning to seem too heavy. So, during the break in the weekly drawings, the “blog” section of the site will focus exclusively on our major news. The weekly drawings, on the other hand, will be confined to the “Galleries” section, and only that section. In any case, where the weekly drawings are most seen is on our Instagram page (which is why the weekly drawings are now in square format, more suited to this social network), so it won’t change much 😉

That’s it for the announcements. It was a rather long article, as we’d lost the habit of publishing, but you have to say what’s worth saying! 🙂

ArtFight tentative (with Alfoxbot)

Alfoxbot

After yesterday’s computer breakdown, we can finally publish the weekly drawing!

Nimatek’s Instagram account was contacted by someone called Alfoxbot, who suggested that we take part in the “ArtFight” community, which consists of making drawings, responding to those drawings with other drawings, and so on. A drawing was thus made for Alfoxbot, representing his character, a sort of purple “furry” character, unsure of himself, but with classy clothes! Initially, the plan was to equip him with a revolver, but at Alfoxbot’s insistence, the revolver was swapped for a Nintendo zapper!

Basile par Alfoxbot

And so, as is the rule at ArtFight, Alfoxbot in turn drew a character featured in Nimatek. Unsurprisingly, it’s a character from the Nuibie universe, but surprisingly, he’s chosen a character who is currently quite secondary: Basile Citrus. No doubt this was the easiest character to hijack, because that’s exactly what he did: he completely hijacked the character, which is quite funny, I must say! In the end, it’s the Basile Citrus of a parallel universe that’s been drawn here!

In addition to a drawing, Alfoxbot also sent us some feedback on Nuibie College, hopefully the first in a long series! Judge for yourself:

Hi Técé, I really like your webcomic, but I have one small criticism to make: the social and political commentary you bring to your comic is pretty weak and very clearly shows your lack of knowledge on certain subjects (example: the pointless jab at inclusive writing), as someone “from the city”, believe me, teachers have other more important things to teach! I wish you all the best. 🙂

Big bug!

Posté le 14 August 2024 par Nimatek Webmestre

Bad news: our home server, on which all the drawings are stored, is no longer turning on. This compromises the publication of the weekly drawing on the Nimatek website, and, if we don’t manage to solve the problem tomorrow, it will also compromise the publication on Instagram! We’re doing everything we can to solve the problem as quickly as possible, because we like regularity!
