Interactive Web Comics
Build an interactive web comic that is fun to interact with! It's like #storyboard but on the web! Here are few things you can include on your website:
- Panels that react to clicks or hovers
- Scroll-triggered reveals and animation
- Choose-your-own-path branching panels
- Sound, tiny embedded mini-games, whatever you can dream up
If a reader can dosomething to your comic that changes what happens next, you’re on the right track. Any language or framework works - plain HTML/CSS/JS, React, Renpy, anything you'd like. Make sure to include your art in it too!
Art vs. Website
Translation: the more quality you put into the website, the better the user experience and the interactivity, the higher percent of art can be approved towards the project hours.
Ideas To Steal (Or Wreck)
You don’t have to use any of these. Warp them, combine them, or ignore them completely.
The Ending Depends On You
A choose-your-own-adventure comic where clicking a panel actually changes the story- and the ending.
The Infinite Scroll Secret
A comic that keeps going as you scroll... until panel 50 reveals something nobody was expecting.
Solve It To See It
Panels stay locked behind a tiny puzzle, riddle, or mini-game. No solve, no next page.
Your Most Chaotic Hackathon Moment
Turn that 3am bug-fixing spiral or demo-day disaster into a comic. True stories hit hardest.
A Comic That Talks Back
Type a response and the next panel reacts to what you wrote. Even a fake "AI" character works.
One Panel, Infinite Zoom
A single giant image you scroll or zoom into, discovering a whole story hidden in the details.
