Yeah, DA isn't as "ahead of the curve" as they'd like you to let on. Some areas of the site are horribly antiquated, like the note system. Groups are a bit archaic now that they've been around for a while, they need to update those a bit to. There's chat rooms to and I think it'd be great if they renovated that to be more like an IM system. I don't think they want to admit it, but features on other sites, like facebook are really useful to the userbase, and DA would do well to adopt them I think. Just because someone does something first doesn't mean you can't do it better.

I'm glad to hear you're using your DA account. Looks like things are going well for you. I like your artwork. its got a cartoony anime style. Which I like because my friend animeprophet and I wanted something like that for an adult animated series concept we came up with. We tried getting that to be made into a web comic but could never find an artist to sign on. Your style looks a lot like what I had in mind for the look of the show/comic.

The part that has been hard to build from an engineering perspective is putting the Motion Book Tool in a browser - we haven't seen that anywhere to our knowledge but would love to know of places if you're happy to share - many thanks Β - Ben/Madefire

"Well you got me there on the engineering side. I'm not an expert but I have had a small degree of engineering done and I know it's difficult to change the format of something to make it compatible to something else (in this case the Motion Book Tool to browser).Β 

I haven't seen a website feature that allows different people to host multiple comics into a browser (that's what's unique about this feature, which makes me praise it) but I have seen a good number of websites with interactive comic features which is pretty much a motion comic in a certain sense

In any case, it's still a great feature, don't let this small critique of mine tell you it's not just cause it took longer to make xD ^_^"

Yep! You can arrange things however you want to.

It's actually really interesting because you can have the text bubbles go ANYWHERE. You don't have to have them appear in any specific order or placement. You just animate them to appear when you want the reader to read them, so all those rules about clockwise and right to left or left to right can go out the window if you want them to.

It's actually very simple once you get the hang of it! Some of the effects are a tad trickier than others, but even then they're simple and intuitive. The interface is a tad clunky in my opinion, but otherwise it's a pretty easy to use tool. They've already released tons of walk through videos as well, and I'm sure more will come now that the tool has been released to everyone.
