Week 4 Interactive Comic Progress Update – Kevin, Kai

http://imanas.shanghai.nyu.edu/~kx421/InteractiveComic/comic1.html

The completed assets so far are used in the above work in progress website. This first page was used as to learn the coding needed to complete the comic, but is also the intended introduction to set a tone for the rest of the comic.

The script is finished as well, with the future comic drawings halfway done. 

Script:

nights

abel: look, may, it’s going to be fine

may: i know, i know

abel: what are you so worried about?

may: nothing… it’s just…

abel: what?

may: your parents

abel: what about my parents?

(may thinking)

may: what were they like, we’re getting married soon I think I should at least know a little about them.

abel: (chuckling) they’re still living, y’know

may: yeah, i meant what were you guys like when you were a kid?

(abel thinking)

abel: they’re just normal parents

may: yeah, but were they strict? did you guys ever fight?

abel: uhh, no, they weren’t strict, they’re fine, i guess

may: c’mon, were they supportive of you?

abel: uh huh

may: okay

abel: okay, may, i guess, as far as parents go, they weren’t really that bad. kind of distant, but not bad. they loved me.

may: what was it like growing up?

abel: i think i had an average childhood

May: pff what does that mean

Abel: i mean, it’s not like i wasn’t happy. it’s just that our family didn’t really have traditions, or reunions, or celebrations…

(flashbacks happen here)

things like that

May: i feel a little bad for you, i hope they aren’t distant with me.

Abel: don’t worry, they’re good parents.

may: yeah, i just felt like since we’re getting married in two weeks…
