Alhamdulillah, we have completed the flagship game of our iChoose brand (an interactive-novel style, choose-your-own-adventure style game), The Prisoner. The original version, created for the Mini LD contest, lacked a lot of choices, not to mention polish. The final release improves on all this, and more. (You can read more in our retrospective.)

Although I initially planned at least a second version before release, I decided to push through and just finish the game — and I’m glad I did. The new version feels a lot better; the polish add really helps.

This version includes improvements including:

• New Deen Games logo: The first thing you’ll probably notice is our brand new Deen Games logo (professionally done), complete with slick animation!
• A new theme: The title screen, summary screen, and buttons are completely redone to fit the sci-fi atmosphere of the game.
• Story branches: The original, due to deadlines, only had one major story arc; this version has two, complete with over ten endings.
• Panelling: Like other novel-type engines, content now appears in panels with [more]. This makes it easier to read.
• New fonts: A new sci-fi font debuts, adding to the overall sci-fi theme.
• A badge: For those who make tough decisions, you can snag a badge!

The entire game was rewritten in a new engine to overcome limitations of the previous engine. This really put us back in terms of time, but it was worth it; this version is almost half the size of what it would be in the old engine, and it looks much better!

Truly, I am thankful to Allah for the ability to complete this game. I hope the next one (if there ever is one) will only build on this technology and take it to even new heights!
