[_] What shit can replace flash? Anon 3403691 I honestly have no idea where to ask this, and I doubt this is the right place, but I don't lose anything with trying. well see, I want to make a webcomic and use a format similar to the one Homestuck used, using just like Homestuck "flash" for that certain pages be animations, and some others be interactive pages, from time to time, just like Homestuck did. The thing is thatm in the present times Flash is dying, sincw next year most of the browsers will not even bring Flash with them, and they cann't will be use to see this type of content. So I wanted to ask, Does anyone know which alternatives I have? Is there "something" that is practically identical in functionality, that let me create animations and mini-games as it was done with Flash, and that "this thing" will work in browsers that will be used in modern times?

>> [_] Anon 3403717 you could learn and use HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript they're even not considered niche anymore so you'll be learning transferable skills to other shit you might need to do as well as developing your comic
>> [_] Anon 3403736 Just in case you missed this: https://archive.is/iGFos It's promising news about there being a flash-replacement here once flash support period is done. It could end up being Ruffle or something else.
>> [_] Anon 3403744 >># I see why it's necessary but I hope they have the common sense to allow people who are using older browsers to just view the flash file and not whatever file that process spits out.
>> [_] Anon 3403797 >># ask the dude doing Prequel the elder scrolls comic what his plan is, and just copy that. He too is doing an MSPA-like with flash animations and the occasional minigame. Also >tfw you realize she wasn't ironic or passive aggressive, she really was a whimsical 30-something womanchild that adored corny wizards and black cats, overindulged her daughter to the point of extravagance and even negligence in hopes of winning her affection, and when that repeatedly backfired, so far out of touch with her daughter by that point that all her expiatory offers were barking up the wrong tree and in fact digging her grave deeper, she drowned her maternal self-loathing in the drink, making her all the more negligent. I'm glad Rose ended up with snarky bitch Kanaya just like herself, because anyone that defaults to sincere expression would have been torn to shreds just like poor Mom Lalonde.
>> [_] Anon 3403824 >># The good news is that there are projects working to keep flash alive. The bad news is that these are basically 'Legacy' support projects, hoping to provide continual support for a format which is being phased out. The projects don't focus on flash creation (animation, scripting etc) either. Flash used to be installed on the majority of 'net-connected PCs, which meant creators could use the relatively simple Adobe program to create animations and share them easily with the internet. These days the best bet is the standard languages of the web (HTML5, CSS and JS). They've evolved a lot since flash first arrived and have much of the capabilities, the main barrier is the learning curve. Perhaps there is some framework or tool for creating flash-like interactive animations that converts to javascript? It would be the most flexible option if possible. >># >snarky bitch Kanaya they both are just more obtuse when it comes to expressing emotions, it's not that they don't have them. Kanaya is often quite blunt anyway, it was Rose that corrupted her with sarcasm. either way it's clear they're good together lol

>> [_] Anon 1615591 It's from a 4000+ page webcomic thing. www.mspaintadventures.com
>> [_] Anon 1615626 HOMESTUCK IS MINDFUCK THE INTERMISSION ALONE IS MORE THAN EVERYONE WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND but read it anyway
>> [_] Anon 1615651 >># this worth the hours upon hours i spent reading, and i only got about halfway through before my brain melted
>> [_] Anon 1615752 It's not like any other webcomic I've seen. Homestuck is a unique experience everyone should try.
>> [_] Anon 1615768 I recommend that one reads Problem Sleuth first before attempting to embark upon the colossal monstrosity that is HS. Seriously, the author went into it with the specific intent of crafting the most elaborate creation myth he could muster. And he is not a normal man.
