Have you ever felt as if you were a hero in a video game, treading through life's obstacles, gaining experience, and leveling up as you go along? You're not the only person out there that has felt like that. In some sense, as video games simulate life, so life also mimics games. In any case, it's a wonderful topic that is just waiting to be explored.

Who else can better visualize this than a Clueless Hero and the protagonist(s) of a world that's intertwined with life and love for video games? You'll experience an adventure reading them! Start the game by scrolling down.

Here's how the artists of the comic presented their whole concept in an interview with Bored Panda: "Well, my friend and I are both gamers and, at the time, we were trying to get into game development. We started goofing around, talking about how nonsensical game logic really is and that's basically how the concept for the comic came about."

RELATED:

    The creators of the Clueless Hero comics shared their key inspirations in the making of the comics. "For the most part, they are all inspired by cliched RPG characters. And the hero, our main character, was originally inspired by Link and the idea of having a silent protagonist."

    And in case you've wondered how they're this good at making comics, well, you wont be that surprised when you'll learn that they're both animators by profession.

    "Wait a minute," you'll say, "if they're animators and they want to get into game development, why are doing all of this?" The answer is you, our dear reader. One of the artists admitted that "it's really fulfilling, I teared up the first time someone sent us fanart."

    And if you ever want to be as good as them, perhaps you should follow their wisdom, which they gladly shared. "Be consistent. I think many artists get discouraged looking at views and likes but, really, if you like making comics, use that as your motivation, just enjoy it. Views and likes may or may not come but, as long as you are making something you enjoy, it's worth it."

    I mean, they're not MONSTERS. What kind of evil bastard would kill you while you're checking your inventory?

    Honestly I usually play on easy. I play games to relax and have fun so extremely difficult games where I keep dying are not for me. Like the Souls series for instance.

    Yes. It's either that or ending up like Jack Sparrow being chased by a hoarde.

    This is why MMOs started with overrides. I'm not carrying that ugly starglobe when I can carry the Moggle Mog starglobe despite the 30 level difference, override the ugly one with the Moggle Mog one! (yes I main Astrologian on FFXIV with a Moggle Mog starglobe override)

    Yep. Roll initiative, run to character sheet for ages to triple check prepared spells because I always forget equipment and spells I have.

    I think it was the first Zelda on the N64 with a fishing minigame. Played a lot that time.
