Creator Comment

I've been working on a manga for quite a while and hit a lot of hurdles. I found myself using MSPaint.exe a lot and ended up making a simple tool to turn my writing into storyboards so I could explain myself more easily to artists and other writers.

Mangaplay takes a markdown file and turns it into a storyboard you can download as an image or preview as a screenplay.

It's still rough but if you find it useful, please let me know.
