webcomic.app is a web-based tool for creating motion comics. This is an MVP so the features are just enough to create a simple motion comic. Trying it out requires no sign up. Signing up is free.
Hi @gorelics, the original inspiration for creating this project were the "motion comics/manga" I saw on YouTube such as this one:
These videos were a lot more enjoyable to read/watch than the page by page uploads of these comics.
Thanks for letting me know about http://www.sbs.com.au/theboat! This is the first time I see this kind of digital storytelling and I really like it. Do you know any other similar comics you can send my way? And to answer your question: yes, I (now) plan to make the functionality to implement such comics in the future.
I created a twitter account for webcomic.app (https://twitter.com/webcomic_app) where I'll keep posting about improvements to webcomic.app, so you can follow it to know where the project is headed. Thanks for your interest and for taking the time to write your comment :)
@gorelics Nice, many thanks! I really like how easy it is to navigate across comic panels in the Walking Dead comic. The Peugeot comic looks and sounds so good. Personally, I don't like having to scroll to navigate the comic but the autoplay makes bearable although the transitions could be faster. First comic looks cool too, it's the first time I see one made with Unity. I like how interactive it is.
Thanks for giving me many ideas :D
Thanks, @rrhoover! I also used to make silly doodles as a kid but with a more low-tech medium, flip books, and the main character was a vicious squirrel :p
Love it but you should really put a video on the home page of some of the output. I almost gave up until I came back to look at the comments on product hunt.
Hi @kbcool, thanks a lot for trying webcomic.app out :)
You're right that it's currently difficult to get an idea of what a motion comic made with webcomic.app looks like. Right now, the only available example is https://gravity-rush-2.webcomic.... and that link is not on the website, only in the Product Hunt description above. You just gave me the idea to embed that motion comic on the homepage, which I will do soon :)
Another option to see some output is to create your own motion comic, open the "Publish" dialog, toggle the "Publish" button and open the link in a new tab.
Of course, a "Preview" button would be better and is something I'm currently working on.
If you want to see where the project is headed, the best best place for that is the project's Twitter account (https://mobile.twitter.com/webco...) where I will be posting updates. I will also be sending updates via email to those who signed up.
Thanks for the feedback :)
