Coming Soon: The New PerilousJack.com

For several months now, SmackJeeves has hosted my interactive sprite comic Perilous Jack and the Frost Potion, under the domain name PerilousJack.com. But Frost Potion is only the first chapter of a longer tale. It’s time for PerilousJack.com to grow! The second chapter of the tale, Perilous Jack and the Magic Beans, is nearly complete, with the following chapters close behind. Along with Magic Beans, I’ll be rolling out an all-new PerilousJack.com, to better showcase all of Jack’s adventures.

The new PerilousJack.com will devote an individual page to each chapter of Jack’s adventures, with synopses, trivia, screenshots, and links to the sprite comics. There will also be pages dedicated to his special appearances, such as How to Cross the Flaming Chasm of ZLORK and the board game Numerian Nine.

Here’s a few screenshots from the new site:

Here’s the home page, showing one of five different header images.

These images link to a short description of each volume of Perilous Jack’s adventures. From there you can go to the sprite comic, hosted on SmackJeeves.com

This is the landing page for Perilous Jack and the Frost Potion. The header image is one of the five random headers that loads each time a page is viewed. The image is from Perilous Jack and the Cloud Castle.

This is the ‘About’ page, with my usual disclaimers about copyright and links to the other websites.

This is another view of the Home Page, showing another one of the random headers (in this case, a scene from Perilous Jack and the Plateau of the Endless), along with the repeating background.
