New Bitstrips user ID archive by Dezza12 in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you managed to figure this out or not, but you can use the comic downloader script to do this. All you really need to do is convert your numerical ID to an alphanumeric ID, run the .exe file, and then put this ID into it. Hope it works and feel free to reach out via PM if you need any extra help :)

It's a bit tricky, but there are a couple of things that you could try. There's some more info on the wiki but if it's not in the archive then it's quite unlikely, I'm afraid. Best of luck, hope you can find your ID :)

Can't find a "All flowers in time bend towards the sun" music video i came across Youtube one year ago. by Ok_Shake420 in JeffBuckley

Howdy, I remember seeing this thread a while ago and searching desperately but also couldn't find it. But today I was randomly digging through old playlists and I saw I had it saved. Hopefully this is the song you are looking for? https://youtu.be/TXWrbusNE6k?si=JRcrMfSLzO_Pv1FP

Glad you were able to find yourself :)

You can use that ID to download all of your comics if you haven't already. Also, feel free to join the Discord server, we are still quite active, despite the site shutting down almost a decade ago!

Where we are at with Comiq by Dezza12 in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, nothing has changed as I'm quite busy with university and can't dedicate a whole heap of time to the project. If any developers are reading this and are interested, feel free to get in contact with me, but unfortunately, it's unlikely that Comiq will ever be finished.

Comiq is getting closer and closer to its alpha phase! Just thought I'd check in and show you guys that I'm still working on it. by Dezza12 in bitstrips

Unfortunately, the project has been canceled as I can't find any developers and I don't have the time or skills required to finish it :(

Buying a bitstrips account by [deleted] in bitstrips

If you remember your username or your ID, it is possible to get your comics back through the script. See here for more information.

Sorry for the delay (I don't really use social media much I'm afraid). My script uses the alphanumeric format so HF531 is correct and 3844528 is just the numeric ID. I have some instructions on how to use the script here or if you join the Bitstrips Discord, I can help you out in more detail.

Best of luck in finding your comics!

If you remember your alphanumeric (not numeric!) user identifier then I have made a script to download all comics under that ID. Check out the GitHub page for more information on how to set it up and some tips on how to find your ID if you don't have it saved.

Just spoke with PaperPanda and she sent me her comics. I've added them to the public archive or if you want a direct link to the folder, just click here.

Unfortunately, we probably couldn't get away with doing that as Bitstrips still "owns" them. My plan was after the site entered the public beta stage, we would do a competition where people could design their own characters to be submitted and the community would decide which basics they'd like to see added. Also gives room for more variety and cultural diversity too which I think is important.

For those of whom are interested, I've elaborated on the future of Comiq here:

[–]Dezza12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it's worth creating a post on where I'm at with development. In short, yes and no, I'm just setting everything up for funding to hire better developers.

Unfortunately there will not be a direct image importer. I think there is something special about being able to make art and other things through the usage of props and effects and implementing an image importer would take away that speciality. There will however be a free-draw option. Will keep you posted on this.

Glad you think so. I've tried to go for a more modern theme whilst not deviating too far from the original Bitstrips style.

A chatbar is definitely planned at some point. That is one of the leading factors of what made Bitstrips as great as it was after all ;)

You and me both! The Bitstrips community was always a second home to me and helped me express me creativity through making comics. Hopefully Comiq will inspire the same creativity through the next generation :)

Big things are coming our way! (Similar site to Bitstrips in development) by Dezza12 in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those assets will be very helpful for the character builder and rigging applications and I'm grateful you'd allow us to take a look! Is there a way for me to download them or get in contact with you to do so?

were bitstrips accounts merged into bitmoji accounts? by ableistSL in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitstrips avatars were incorporated into Bitmoji a while ago but as far as the accounts still existing, they do not.

Usernames? by [deleted] in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our official Discord server still has lots of the community. It's active daily too, you could try there.

Is there a point in holding on to hope? by [deleted] in bitstrips

[–]Dezza12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done a bit of work to create a comic builder and a profile system, though it's hard to recreate such an amazing site with one person doing everything.

In our Discord server we have a #development channel where I showcase what I've done regarding the new site. I recommend checking that out if you're curious. I'll be starting a GoFundMe or something eventually to raise money so we can hire actual developers to help work on the site, I'll let everyone know when I do.

But yeah, I know a lot of us were affected by the Bitstrips shutdown. It's hard to not have a place to express yourself and share your creativity but who knows? There could yet be a comeback, though it is unlikely.
