Starbound is a science fiction comic adventure, with story choices, ideas and votes being submitted by young people in Inverclyde, to keep the story moving.
Every Monday at 5pm, a new video appears on our instagram page, showing the latest artwork and offering new options for the story for you to vote on. We also share story prompts and suggestions to help you create your own stories set in the same universe.
You have 24 hours to vote and then our artist gets started.
We wanted to find a way to keep working creatively with people when everyone's maybe a bit fed up with interacting online and doing zoom workshops. We decided that a 'choose your own adventure' style comic would allow people to get as involved as they wanted to. Some people might just vote on the story choices each week, others might want to use the story prompts to tell their own stories and help us build the world around our characters.
The project is part of Magic Torch Comics 'Outside The Box' project, which I'm delivering across Inverclyde with the support of the National Lottery Community Fund.
