YouTube – Murderdrome iPhone Comic.
Right now, the Murderdrome video has 765 1031 views! (In the space of three days!)
Blimey! And five comments (and three people have rated it! – though all five stars) views high, comments low – weird, huh?
Anyhue, it’s all very exciting, turns out people are as excited by the reader software as much as anything (and here’s me banging the drum that the reader isn’t as important as the content – I still think I’m right, but the market is so new that people are excited, almost like you’ve discovered paper and you’re trying to convince people to read your book and they’re busy going ‘But what is this weird white stuff your book is on? I MUST HAVE IT!’) – and we’ve had approaches from some quarters about licensing it – more on that as we discover how it’ll all work. Personally, we’re up for it and it’ll be cost effective enough for everyone who wants to do it to be able to afford to (since the payment model works at the backend based on downloads anyways…)
Very exciting stuff! I’m in danger of believing some of the excitement though…
Believe it, it’s very exciting stuff – a real breakthrough!
My first thought was always as much fun as the actual strip is; and creating a whole new distribution model for Anglophone comics is a hell of a feather in your cap, too; the programming behind it is maybe where the real money is – licence the hell out of it!
pj – this really could be your coup de grace, I fervently hope it is
Clever,clever boy PJ….really hope this turns into something HUGE for you and your collaborators.
