So far this update will be very simple since during this week I had little time to fully conduct some actually long length research, However, this did not stop me from at least attempting to get some information on how and when I will be conducting this project.
For starters, I began reading a bit of this book that explains how comic books can be interpreted and used to convey its messaging, including the structural bases for how comics are made. The book is titled “Understanding Comic: The Invisible Art” by Scott McCloud, who gives a very artsy but detailed description of the art form of comics. The most interesting aspect that I read was actually at the very beginning of the book as he talked about the art form of comics, on how its a vessel comprised of a number of ideas and images to convey an overall point and meaning to the story. like many works of art, this is considered to be a basic building block for many different interpretations of media alike. These tips along with many others will help guide me in the right direction when it comes to creating this book.
Another thing that I discovered while doing this research was a video that gives off basic information in Unity about hoe to create an interactive book with buttons. This was done in an older version of the program but I am sure that the code is still used for it. I would consider this to be quite useful since My goal is to incorporate some form of code for this project to actually create the movement I have in mind for the pannels in question. There are probably more indepth tutorials on how to create an interactive story like experience that discovery will come in time but for starters, the information that I was able to find was quite useful in the sense of getting a feel of how this project will be created.
These findings as short and not as much as I’d like them to be, are a good start to the beginning aspect of this project. As I continue to find more about the ways to shape and create this story, it will be beneficial for the department of possible narrative changes for a story that issint exactly set and stone at this point. As of now, the current goal remains with creating the assets to move them on to the esting phase where I will make an attempt to put them in the program for further examination. A slow start for sure, but a welcome one at best. I will keep you all posted on anything that happens in the coming weeks.
Thank you
