Inspired by Student Transfer and Press Switch I set about creating my own game in the same vein as those two. Thus the Reborn App project was started.
Looking back it was mixture of success and failure. The initial reaction was good and inspired me to continue, but very quickly interest seemed to fade away. I was hoping for a lot more feedback and suggestions than what I ultimately received. I think the problem there was just a lack of things to comment on.
The biggest flaw Reborn App has is that the player is too powerful. They can escape almost any situation that prevents me from creating drama or suspense. It also granted too much freedom. Moving forward I plan to start my next project in early 2018. My next project will be more liner that will have main path with brief branches based on choices that will result in different endings. I'm hoping that a longer, more interesting single story will be more engaging for the audience.
I don't know when I'll have something to show. I won't estimate either since I have a bad habit of missing deadlines.
Thank you everyone for the support over the past year. I hope you'll continue following my work into 2018 and beyond.
