Hi! I'm Locke. o/
I'm the programmer Ben has spent years subtly manipulating into solving all his ECGCE technical hardships, coalescing thus far into this FOC closed beta!
How it all started:
Me: "What's an FOC?"
Ben: "Final Order Cutoff"
Me:
That was a couple of weeks ago and here we are with the foundation of an FOC system that already has a subscription feature to boot.
And this is Just the Beginning!
I mean, it's a beta, so duh!
But Ben has a lot of plans ("wishlist items" might be more accurate) for ECGCE. He basically wants to do everything better than it's currently done throughout most of the industry. Quality over maximized profits - crazy concept, I know.
Right now the main idea is to make it easy for people to order their weekly books (comics and manga) and get them delivered to their doorstep in pristine condition - while giving you all a nice financial deal to boot. Sounds easy until you realize both the comic and delivery industries at large seem actively against the idea...
Expect Problems!
Have I mentioned this is a beta?
We're humans with only so much time in the day and prone to erring like everyone else. There will undoubtedly be mistakes, hiccups, technical disruptions, oversights, irate/overworked postal service employees, etc.
We're not promising perfection, but we will try our best to make the service as user friendly and positive of an experience as humanly possible.
And when issues arise they will be addressed as swiftly and cleanly as we are able to do so.
Thanks for joining!
And thanks ahead of time for your understanding and patience as we delve into this venture.
I intend to pester Ben into starting to post more regularly (no promises though, the man's life is a madhouse), and as always the best way to reach either Ben or myself is generally through the discord.
We look forward to serving all of your FOC needs and potentially more.
