Hey yah!
It's been almost a week since I released Virtual Dreams Ch.1 and it's amazing! I'm really grateful for the support. I had a crazy week, but what's amazing is I've come up with even more story ideas for future comics!
I would also like to know what you guys think about the format of the comics. I have been wondering if it would be best to try vertical format like traditional comics and manga (hentai). I like the creativity in making the page flow in vertical format. One thing I may struggle with vertical format is clutter everything up. The horizontal format gives this cinematic feel since its 16x9 ratio. I'm doing horizontal format right now and I like the horizontal format, but I feel like it is missing something.
Here's a quick pros and cons:
Vertical Format Pros and Cons:
- Can be more creative.
- Less pages, but each page is are more packed. (Around 20-25 pages)
- Better With Phones
- Experience on Desktop suffers
Horizontal Format Pros and Cons:
- More Pages, but usually I find myself clicking next next waiting for the good stuff.. depends on pacing and pages. (Around 60-120 pages)
- Provides good experience with Phones since it can rotate to horizontal and most desktops are already horizontal so its perfect.
- Provides a more immersive experience due to the widescreen ratio.
What are your thoughts? I would like to hear.
Here are some late Christmas Renders I was fiddling around with. Merry late Christmas 2018.

Ahh I see. I really appreciate that about the horizontal format as well. Thank you batman for sharing your feedback! (hehe) :)

I like horizontal more because the details of what is being shown can be taken in one at a time and can be really appreciated.
