Indefinite hiatus notice (Plus a quick QnA)

Howdy, folks!

To the few who are still following this blog (thank you, and sorry ;-;), I apologize for the vanishing act. I’ve gotten myself into an unhelpful cycle of making a single story post, ditching this blog for months and months, and then coming back only to make a shoddy excuse post. Rinse, repeat. And unfortunately, this time isn’t any different.

In fact, it’s worse.

Scaly Summit is going on an indefinite hiatus. I have no idea if I’ll ever pick this story up again for a multitude of reasons. But if the stars somehow align I may get my act together, which is why SS isn’t outright cancelled. But yeah. I thought it’d be best if I gave some actual closure to this; my first side blog and askblog.

And now, to explain myself. Please bear with me 😅

What have you been doing?

School happened, graduation happened, and college is happening. So a lot of IRL stuff, basically.

But IRL things aren’t the only reason why I left the blog to collect dirt. Looking back on the older story posts…they stink. Really. I can’t draw humanoids for the life of me, even pizza-headed ones. If I ever come back to this, I want to release story updates that I’m actually proud of.

Will this blog be abandoned?

Not quite. While I certainly don’t have the time nor motivation to resume the story, I still had so many plans for SS that will sadly never see the light of day. But that’s unfair to me, and to you. Thus, I might just come back to this blog every now and then to share some concept art, talk about what could have been, or some other Pizza Tower related doodles.

Do you have any plans for other Pizza Tower related content?

No, not really. Pizza Tower was a hyperfixation of mine when I first made this blog, but that fixation has since faded. Don’t get me wrong: I still like Pizza Tower and all of the lovely AUs/askblogs that others have created. Heck- if it wasn’t for a few of them, this blog wouldn’t have been made in the first place. But that’s a story for another day. My brain just wants to focus on other games instead.

If you still have any questions/comments, I’ll answer them to the best of my abilities. Just send an ask, or comment! Simple as that :)

…aaaand done! Sorry for the yap session. I just felt so guilty leaving this story behind when it had hardly begun. To those who made it all the way to the bottom (and to those who just skipped to the end), thank you. Really. This was, and still is, a passion project at the end of the day, and I’m glad to be sharing it with at least one other person.

Even if we didn’t go far, I thank you for coming along for the ride.

Maybe you shouldn’t make a deal before hearing all the details dude…

Seeker: “You know, the disembodied voice has a point.”

Pizzahead: “Eh…”

Seeker: “Luckily for you, I fully intend to keep my end of the bargain. I’ll even give you a gift.”

Pizzahead: “Uh…thanks?”

“What am I supposed to do with this?”

[scaly-summit-au]

... Ah shoot.

Pizzahead: “AH-“

???: “Relax. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Seeker: “The name’s Seeker. Pardon the eavesdropping, but I happened to hear something about you being bested by someone? I assume that’s why you were standing in the middle of some rubble.”

Pizzahead: “…You guessed right. But there’s nothin’ I can do about it.”

Seeker: “Well, why don’t we make a deal? You see, this crystal of mine can do some amazing things, including fixing up your tower.”

Pizzahead: “…You don’t say…”

Pizzahead: “I do now.”

Seeker: “What did you sa-“

Pizzahead: “You’ve got yourself a deal!!”

Hey y’all! Considering how next month is when ArtFight happens, I’m going to slow down on working on this story for the entirety of July to avoid burnout. I might still make a story post or two during this time, but I’m not making any promises. I hope you all understand, and I’ll see you when I’m back!

- Drako

P.S I’m nearly done the next story post, and it should be up before July/in early July :)

Hey Pizzahead? Who's that shadow behind you?

Pizzahead: “Excuse me-”

Pizzahead: “-WHAT.”

“…”

Pizzahead: “Huh. Has this weird glowing thing always been here? It almost looks like a teleporter pizza, but a lot larger.”

Pizzahead: “..Whatever it is, it’s…kinda hypnotizing. Makes me wanna reach out and touch it-“

???: “Ah-hem.”

[scaly-summit-au]

So... Pizzahead

what are you gonna do now?

Pizzahead: “Ah, nothing much. Just sittin’ here, trying to come up with a new plan. As for the other comment…”

Pizzahead: “…My old plan was foiled AND my tower’s reduced to nothin’ but rubble, all thanks to a single balding Italian.”

Pizzahead: “What makes you think I’m gonna do something stupid?”

Behold, my love letter to both webcomics in general, and Pizza Tower: it’s Scaly Summit! This story contains major spoilers for Pizza Tower, from certain bosses to references to the true ending. I highly recommend playing the game first if you haven’t already, or watching videos of it first. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my goofy little story. Now without further ado, it’s pizza time!

...That was *cheesy* as heck. - Drako
