The Big Hiatus

The Quiet Time Ended

So after a long Hiatus, Ortens has come back with some great news! The script for Prologue and Chapter 1 are being wrapped up, but I think I'll have a few more changes to do before this is all over. Two pages of Chapter 1 have been started, and about 5 pages in all have been planned out. Thank you for all of your patience! This posts will hopefully give you a bit of insight into the first 2 Chapters coming to you guys! Here we go!

The Road Block:

There were many things back in 2011 that were giving me problems, but the most important was how to carry the story to each pavilion and keeping it in flow. The first two chapters were already figured out, and so were the last two, but I'll get to that later in the fun stuff. This was a terrible plot hole seeing as I did not have any specific order I wanted to go through. Another thing was the villains, I had a basic idea of where they came from and who was behind it all, but without a good back story. Throughout the second half last year, I couldn't figure these two things out and was one of the lead reasons why I took a hiatus.

Only recently did I finally break the block. I found that I wasn't looking deep enough, but ironically I thought about it in the original ending. I forgot the biggest connection that I'd made. In Epic Mickey, Oswald appeared to be very tech-savvy and pretty bad ass in the process and in Epic Mickey 2 they haven him as sort of Mickey's tech support. EPCOT Center always boasted it was run on a computer system INSIDE the park, specifically Communicore. I won't go too far into this because I'd give it away, but what do YOU think could go wrong? I'll just leave it at that ;D

This solving the biggest problem I had with the comic, I feel safe enough to actually alter a bit of the original script to fit these ideas and present it to the public.

What to Expect:


  • Prologue will be somewhat like Epic Mickey's narration at the beginning, but in the later half there will be narration from Oswald and the bunny kids. A glimpse of Spaceship Earth and Communicore will be in this chapter, but nothing in depth.

  • Chapter one is strictly for the Imagination Pavillion, meaning Image Works, JII, the whole shebang! The only thing I have not written in yet is which show I have chosen for the Magic Eye Theater, Currently it's Makin' Memories, but if I find anything else interesting to add, I will change it. 

  • After Oswald feels he "inherited" EPCOT just as he did Wasteland, he goes to seek out the person in charge. Intellegence, through old videos and other things he already had of the Discovery Bay, direct him to the imagination pavilion to seek out the Dreamfinder. 

  • Currently, the imagination pavilion has been given a musical tone to it ;D
One of the sketches from the new pages, this one is the one that is less along than the two, but I still love the perspective. This is the third page after the introduction of figment, closer to the center of the first chapter. (I do map out the pages beforehand, so I have no regrets starting in the middle.) I'll put up some more sketches from the upcoming seven pages of Chapter one that are currently in the works, just thought you'd like this one teaser ;D

We've only just begun to dream.
