Hey just joined heard about this site from a thread on Tapastic. - GC Forums

Hey just joined heard about this site from a thread on Tapastic.

Hello my name is Delphonse and I run Grinning Lion Studio. I just joined and am happy to see there is a forum on this site. It really helps with bringing people together. I posted one of my comics on here just now and will probably post the second one later ^.^ You will probably see me around a bit as I get use to how this site works. is there anyone in particular I can give feedback to as I learn more about this site?


Hey @Delphonse, and welcome to GlobalComix!

I'm one of the admins here at GlobalComix, and there are 4 others: @Osso, @Lexflex, @tore, @MaggieMacAlpine

When it comes to feedback, the best bet is to use the "Bug Reporting" forum to report problems, and the "Suggestions" forum to make improvement or feature suggestions, but you can always @mention us in threads to grab our attention!

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback, so please share anything you think might be helpful :)

Thanks a ton @Nimloth I am not use to giving feedback but I will do my best to assist how I can ^.^

Hi @Delphonse. I came here from a Tapas thread too. Today is my first day and though I am having a bit trouble getting used to new interface (made lots of rookie mistakes), 3 episodes in I think I am getting a hang of it.

From what I have seen, I like it here. It's nice to be part of a new community. Looking forward to explore more creators!

@ArushiRaj yay another Tapas creator. I am slowly getting use to it all too. Definitely a little different from Webtoons and Tapastic but not bad.

I'll have to check out your comic ^.^

Hi @Delphonse and @ArushiRaj! I am also from Tapas (and Webtoon). Glad to see some creators moving over/expanding. :)

Thanks @Delphonse

Hey @CronaJ. Welcome here :)

Came from Tapas as well. So far I really like this site. Still learning how everything goes.

Hey @Rochrok

It's really great to see all of you guys testing out our fledgeling platform :)

How's the experience been so far? Would you recommend it to others that create/publish comics?

Welcome @Rochrok and @CronaJ lets Work hard to make this site as popular as the other ones ^.^

Absolutely @Nimloth It's a pretty cool site.

Looks like we're all Tapastic people here, that's awesome :D

"Raises hand" me too. Gotta try stuff out!

Welcome @Merle!

Btw, I looked at your first release. You definitely want to use the panel-to-panel creator definition if you're using those tall images :) ... and also probably chop up the images into multiples (though this is strictly not required when panel to panel is enabled).

Oh well, that is true, it kinda looked off for me!

I'm bringing this over from the Tapas forums. I had asked some questions of @Nimloth there, and I thought it would benefit for others to see his responses :)

I already started posting on GlobalComix, and I really like the way it works so far.

In the future, is the intent for GlobalComix creators to be exclusive to GlobalComix? Especially keeping in mind the monetization structure. As of right now, the user-base is very small, so it is difficult for me to foresee myself only posting on GlobalComix.

My eventual goal with my work was always to post exclusively to one company, whichever one has the best offer for me.

The main thing I was curious about is: how do you and the other GlobalComix staff intend on making readers choose GlobalComix over other sites?

At a very high level, we think about and evaluate what GlobalComix provides readers with in these three buckets:

  1. Ease of access and consumption.
  2. Discoverability, availability, and depth of interesting content to read.
  3. Meaningful ways to connect with and support their favorite creators.

In order to deliver on those reader value props, we have had to really think through what the problems with reading and discovering comics is on the internet at large today.

It's what's given birth to our panel-to-panel reading, as well as prioritizing a seamless experience across all devices.

One of the core tenets of GlobalComix lies in the name: Global Comix. We are building a platform that's aiming to serve not just English readers, but the whole spectrum of international readers.

With all of this in mind, we've created GlobalComix as what you see right now; a work in progress that we will keep iterating on, expanding, growing, building, nurturing, and caring about in the same way that you guys put effort, thoughts, emotions and love into the comics that you create.
