Future of Interactive Updates

So, as I’m sure many of you know, Flash is a sinking ship. I had originally planned on giving you guys plenty of Flash updates for various comics, whether it simply be movies or short games. It’s pretty clear now that Flash isn’t going to be a viable option anymore.

Instead, I’m going to do what everyone else is doing and jump ship over to Javascript, creating the interactive updates with HTML5. I’m not throwing another hiatus on you guys or anything, but this does mean that interactive and animated updates will probably take longer to produce than I originally had thought. Javascript really does seem to be the better option, though. Loading times for the interactive updates should be much faster, and they will be able to play on any device – even phones. Compression also won’t really be much of an issue either. The only hurdle will be learning the in’s and out’s of Javascript. This should be a change for the better, though, making things a lot easier down the line.
