Seeking some feedback on this idea. I made a interactive comic and Ive not really got any feedback at all. My son liked it but thats about the only feedback Ive got so far. The basic idea is fairly simple. The reader can determine how far they get into the story before they die and they can determine paths taken etc. Each choice will affect the storyline you recive as a reader.

Little history on the idea. I orginal made the game to support a website called "Ladderhall" a Diablo 2 Fan site. Ive been a member of the site for years and the sites slowly dieing so I wanted to help them get some growth. So I came up with this interatice comic idea. The idea was to capture a audience and hope they would visit their website. Anyway, Ive never seen this done before so I was hoping someone might have some info or at least feedback about the concept.

Choose your own adventure stories have been around for a long time.

Back when Infocom was churning out great games like Zork and Wishbringer (still have my glow in the dark plastic rock). They made something called Infocomics that similar to what you've made.




I did download your game and got killed by the monster in the bush... it might help to inform the user that he doesn't have any weapons wielded or is a 98 pound weakling.

It's a great game but I find it annoying that it keeps closing and remaking the window every time I make a choice. The main annoyance in that is because it changes the windows position so I have to search for the buttons rather than having them close to the mouses last position. I did rerun it to "run" away from the monster in the bush only to see that it keeps the monster window open and creates a new path... I was able to again be killed by the monster while the other path window was open.
