SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/23/13 — -s motion comics and stories take to the web this week in celebration of its most recent success, reaching 1M users. This feat marks a new venture for NARR8, as the company strives to increase readership by debuting a web-based version of its interactive entertainment content, making NARR8 an all-platform mobile app for users of all ages.
Formerly released on mobile platforms iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire and Windows 8, and with a recent launch of Facebook, NARR8 is a free application that delivers explosive and original multimedia series in the form of dynamic motion comics and engaging, interactive series across an extensive offering of content genres. The cross-platform leap will be compatible with most browsers, including Mozilla, Google Chrome and Safari, and Internet Explorer. This move furthers NARR8-s mission to become a global company by extending their cross-platform reach, and will continue the effort of extending readership, now at over 1M users, to a greater number of fans worldwide.
“Launching on the web is a very exciting move for NARR8. Not only will it allow us to reach our readers who may not have mobile devices, but also the larger screen will feature greater clarity and detail of art and animation. The main reason behind the creation of NARR8 was to create motion comics and graphic novels for art and comics fans. With the inclusion of our web-based version, we are truly a multi-platform application, as we are featured on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and Facebook as well,” said Founder Alexandr Vashchenko.
NARR8 uses a proprietary HTML5 engine that pushes the boundaries of the reading experience. Users will be able to experience this seamless integration of high quality art, animation, and sound in each series. Series are delivered weekly in episodic format, with the option to purchase additional content in at a faster pace using NARR8-s in-app currency, NARRs. Coming soon, NARR8-s episodes/series will be able to be purchased directly via credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), and PayPal and more.
