*** FONT changed, for you to read easier. Please check once again, even if you already read them. ***

As you know, I'm mrkwang who runs Pig-Min, which is the 1st. & only 1 Korean Indie Game webzine.

Recently we Pig-Min started 'Web-Cartoon', named after [Indie Life of isdead]. isdead is our new reviewer, and he started drawing something about Pig-Min & some Indie Game.

It's Korean language cartoon, but he made it also for English version.

I'd like to publish English version, but I've not made my mind how to publish it.

- Just make another category for English version of this series.
- Make entirely different webzine, dedicated to English version only.

Anyway, before trying that, I'd like to get feedback about English version of this toon.

I need your feedback about these.

- Can you read English font very well? Or is it killing your eyes?
- Can you understand what he is saying?
- Do you feel funny, when you read them?

Please let me know what you think about these. These are prototypes of English version, and needs to be improved.

Thanks!

Yeah another font could be an improvement.
Apart from the font I didn't understand a lot of the story, but it's generally the case with most webcomics anyway:D I'm not a fan of webcomics but as far as webcomics go, this one seems to be on par with the rest.
There are some little translation innacuracies that make the comic a bit difficult to understand but that might be a part of its originality.

As for the method of distribution, maybe you should keep it on your main site to attract a maximum of visitors there.

The webcomic is a bit... crazy! That does appeal to some people though, so you'll probably do OK.

I'm the author is Indie Life™, and I read all of your feedbacks. I'm always thanks for your responses, both positive or not.

Anyway, I have a question... is there anyone who knows where a cool License-free font is? I was using a commercial font, and it was kinda cool... but I have to change because it can be a very big risk, so I'm asking for free font.

Now I'm using GPL Font, and it's not that bad. But I want to be more *FUNKY*, so if there's a good-and-free font there, let me know it.

And, thanks again to my readers!!


P.S. Sorry for my poor English, anyway. =)

Thanks for the answer!

isdead already read your reply, and searching for it. He just didn't have time to reply here, so I'm doing it instead of him.

Anyway thanks!
