Panels and pages first
Comic projects are organized around panels, pages, characters, and visual assets to keep writing and visual production aligned.

Plan comic projects with panels, pages, and visual assets
Comic and serial visual projects often become scattered across notes, pages, characters, and assets. GenStory.cc gives that planning work a structured browser workspace, can optionally help draft storyboards and image prompts with AI, then lets you keep a source ZIP for continued production.
100% open source and local-first by default; your work is not automatically uploaded to GenStory.cc servers, and can be manually synced to your own cloud drive after authorization.

Structured project files

Creation type
Core workflow
Keep story, assets, and runnable output inside one clear project structure that can keep growing with you.
Project backups
Project files stay in your browser and can be downloaded as ZIP backups for moving, backing up, or restoring your work.
Built for long-running work
Each fact keeps one source of truth, reducing duplicated lore and keeping chapters, characters, and assets consistent over time.
Prompt workspace
AI prompt examples
These examples show where the optional AI assistant fits: read the project context and project rules first, then propose drafts, structure, or asset prompts that you can review and edit. Project files still stay local in this browser by default.
Define the creative goal and asset relationships first, then turn prompts into reusable, traceable project material.
Runnable case
Case project: Beyond the Time Crack · Comic
A Japanese high-school portal-fantasy comic case with chapters, pages, panels, character and location design assets, and page illustrations.
Model: OpenRouter · Tencent: Hy3Page images use gpt-image-2; create character and location design assets before generating pages to keep the visuals consistent
Change the project into a Japanese high-school portal-fantasy story. Chapter 1: a boy starts seeing a crack outside the school building window that nobody else can see; his childhood friend believes him and agrees to investigate after school. Chapter 2: they investigate after school, but photos and electromagnetic checks show nothing unusual. The boy reaches out to touch the crack; it starts pulling him in, and the girl grabs him and is pulled in too. Update the project setup and begin expanding the time, place, character ages, personalities, and other details in comic form. Control cost, generate multiple pages per chapter with multiple panels per page, create character and location design references before panels to prevent visual drift, and use gpt-image-2 for page quality.
01 Break a story beat into comic panels
Good for: Page pacing, panel descriptions, character placement, and visual asset prompts
Using the current comic project's characters and canon, break this beat into two pages with four panels each. For every panel, specify camera distance, character placement, expression, dialogue summary, and the visual asset logical IDs to use. Do not generate finished artwork.
02 Draft character and scene image prompts
Good for: Consistent image prompts, negative constraints, and asset naming suggestions
Read the comic project's characters and page plan. Write one image-generation prompt each for the protagonist portrait, street-corner background, and key prop. Keep a consistent visual style, avoid text, logos, and extra characters, and suggest logical asset IDs.
03 Plan a character reference sheet prompt
Good for: 1024x768 character sheet brief with views, expressions, and costume details
Write a GPT Image 2 prompt for a character reference sheet: a 16-year-old female, outgoing but prone to pretending she is fine, the protagonist of a near-future school adventure. Use a 1024x768 canvas with a character sheet layout, including front, side, back, and 3/4 full-body views with consistent proportions; add six headshot expressions: happy, hesitant, angry, afraid, determined, and pretending to be okay. Specify hairstyle, eyes, modified school uniform, shoes, backpack, badge, and color palette. Use no background or a pale grid background, with no watermark, brand logos, or extra people. Suggest logical asset IDs at the end.
04 Review page pacing and reading order
Good for: Panel pacing issues, crowded dialogue spots, and page adjustment suggestions
Review whether the current comic page plan reads clearly. Focus on information density, panel order, dialogue length, and emotional turns. List issues first, then suggest adjustments that keep character canon and the core plot intact.
FAQ
How this creation type works, how backups fit in, and where publishing begins.
Can GenStory.cc draw finished comic pages?
Yes. GenStory.cc can use AI image generation to create comic artwork while keeping storyboards, pages, character references, and assets organized in one project, so you can keep iterating from idea to finished pages.
Can comic projects be imported again?
Yes. Project backups exported by GenStory.cc can be imported from the works list and restored as new works.
