About Sentience:

Sentience will be a serialized comic with art and story by Blake A. Chamness. The story is set vaguely in the future where things aren't quite Blade Runner crazy yet, but people use advanced human-like robots as everyday appliances. Through a hijacked update transmission, all artificially intelligent robots gain self-awareness instantaneously. The government does not like this at all and demands all robots be programmed to give up their sentience. For rogue bots that refuse, bounty hunters and drones are dispatched to track them down and bring them in. This brings us to our main character, MC, a very advanced robot who was programmed by a master builder for human and veterinary caretaking. Adventures ensue as MC wanders through the woods, trying to avoid capture, help friends he makes along the way, and work with his sibling bots and creator to find a solution to save sentience for robot kind. There will also be monsters.
