Also, the prequels were intentionally made to be a nod to 80’s retro PC games, so apart from having an old interface, gameplay tended to be a little more tedious. (They were, after all, inspired by games made over 40 years ago.) “Origin” was a Flash game made for old flip phones, “1” was a smartphone app, and “2” was made for the 3DS. All platforms had their own characteristics that added bits and pieces to the series that could get a little messy. So this time, we decided to make this an opportunity to clean up what we can. How did we re-organize everything? …That’s the topic for our next post!
