Putting aside the 40%, which I think sounds fair compared with similar services...
I read an article about this www.forbes.com/sites/lorikozlo⦠that mentioned that any assets used in the creation of these motion books is saved to the servers and become the property of Madefire for others to use? That would be the real dealbreaker for me.

Nothing to worry about! It saves the files to Madefire's servers so that you can use them later (or to collaborate with others when creating), but you retain ownership of what you create at all times.

To be honest, I'm not too found on comics created with this. I have to wait for the animationΒ (it's like: I read text, look at pic and have to wait for the next frame, reading and waiting non-stop is pretty annoying), I definitely prefer when all text clouds and frames are already there.

Hi nati11184 - it can be frustrating when the book is loading in page by page - hopefully if you leave it for a few beats to pad in it will be a more fun experience - hope so - one way to tell is by clicking the middle of the page and the thumbnails will show you how much is loading in⦠hope that improves things.
I have been working on this book which launched yesterday (took me a long time) - love to know what you reckon (once it's fully loaded in
Many thanks for your feedback - we know we have a lot to learn in how to be apply the Motion Book Tool to reading - it really is the beginning of a new grammar to or mind...
hope you enjoy this

I think 40% off our profit is quite fair, so long as they don't go to waste.

We will put them towards making sure the Tools and reading experience is as good as we can get it - thank you for this comment - Ben/Madefire

People should quite whining, this motion book is a HUGE development for you to be sharing to us

As an artist with eye problems: man, I wish I could resize that UI! Text is so goshdarn tiny. If I ever attempt to use this, I'll probably have to import entire pages of assets from other programs I can actually see -- the less I have to squint at buttons, the better. Β

For a comic author and lover like me, this is AWESOME! I'm really happy you guys made this.
And the 40% cut is only fair too- I mean you created the site for us to share it and we paid nothing to use the tool. So yeah, quit whining about it: You wouldn't expect to get into a real art gallery for free would you?

Huh. People are whining over $40 percent fee for using Motion Book Tool to sell their books? Β But, that's because we do not own Motion Book Tool. Β We can use it to create books and place them in our gallery at absolutely no charge, but when it come to selling something that we created with motion book tool, it is only fair that $20 percent goes to the company that owns motion book tool and $20 percent goes to DA who created a platform for Motion Book Tool to exist. Β And we get $60 percent so it is not too bad deal, IMO. Β

Thanks - if people want to distribute their books for free then we don't see any money for it - no problem - but we need to make some money when you do so we can support the Tool and platform - thanks for understanding! we want to keep the tool free so all creators have access!Β
