Description
IN-Comics is created by veteran software makers at Intific, Inc. as an innovative online graphic novel and sequential art authoring technology for therapeutic storytelling. The complete system offers a new integrated approach to art therapy using unique 3D digital storytelling tools to make Creators out of all service personnel, enabling visual products that run the gamut from traditional graphic novels to a moving, stylized storytelling approach that also resembles a video game or a film design, all using the same tools. IN-Comics merges art therapy, storytelling, and game-based entertainment while providing therapeutic techniques through a context-sensitive Art Therapy System to help make veterans comfortable dealing with charged subject matter, and also offering context-sensitive online links to resources, videos, and websites while simultaneously developing beneficial creative skills with a dynamic Novelist Help System.
