"WORLD MAKER", which can make manga names without painting, was more fun than expected (Satoshi Nakayama)

I am a traveler IT writer Nakayama.On August 27, Shueisha's "Shonen Jump +" announced the release of "WORLD MAKER", a service that allows you to create a manga name even if you can not draw.At the same time, a recruitment of users who could experience the closed beta version was posted on Twitter.

I am not good at painting, but I love manga, and I have been thinking about four or short manga names during the magazine editor.So I wanted to try a little bit about "WORLD MAKER", and after applying for the pre -experience, I won.

The closed beta version started on September 8, so I used it immediately.

The point of this World Maker is that when you enter the line, it will automatically divide the frame.

When you create a new one, a script input form for two frames is displayed on one page, so enter a line or the like in each frame.

The number of frames can be increased by tapping "frame split", so we will increase it according to your own script.The number of pages is up to 4 pages at present.If you want to make more than 5 pages, you need to create a new name separately.

When you enter the line and return to the page display screen, it is automatically split.If you tap the page here, the other frame split pattern will be displayed, so you can change it to the frame split that suits your own scenario.

Once all the lines and frames are determined, go to the next stage to put illustrations and adjust the ballo size.However, if you move to the next stage, you can change the line, but you need to be careful because you cannot change the frame.

In the editing of each frame, the size and shape of the balloon can be changed, and the arrangement of characters, background, onomatope, and symbols prepared in advance can be performed.Each character has multiple patterns, such as movement, orientation, expression, etc., and is not a 3D modeling, but you can surprisingly place an angle.

Once the parts required for each frame are placed, write it out as a name.Basically, the image is posted as a Twitter post, but you can also download it from the data saved during work.The name I made as a test for the time being is ↓.

When I used it, it was a really good app or service.Even if you don't have a picture heart, something like manga is done properly.

At present, there are points that we want to make detailed improvements, such as the fact that the character input is a little troublesome and that the half -width numbers are displayed vertically because it is only compatible with access from the smartphone web browser.It is finished in something that can be used as a name and manga creation tool.

By the way, you can use your own photos and illustrations, so you can make manga rather than the original name.I've been looking for an app that can easily make a photo manga, so it's perfect.

Immediately, I tried to make a 4 -page manga.

This WORLD MAKER is currently used only by pre -experience users, but the open beta version that anyone can use is scheduled to be released from September 22, and a contest is being held.

If you have given up saying "I'm interested in manga but I'm not confident in the picture ...", please try it when the open beta version starts!
