At the time of writing this article, E3 2010 is underway. Pretty impressed by the Nintendo 3DS and it's features. I certainly would want a 3D camera. This started to get me thinking about the future of Sakura River.
It has been several years since Sakura River started. The one thing that we can offer that no one else has is an interactive story that the player has a large influence over. We offer more control over the story. No big budget title yet that I have heard of has offered this. I have played Mass Effect 1 and 2 and they haven't done it at that level. I have seen how Heavy Rain plays out and in one of the interviews, the writer said that there are "no secrets." I am wondering if anyone else is going to release a game with more player control over story.
So what's next with Sakura River Interactive? There is one project in the works. We are also looking to pitch game concepts to publishers. We are still going to make more games with interactive stories that the player has a large influence over. We're also looking to some opportunities in Japan.We'll be at the next Fan Expo in Toronto selling our games. That's it for now.
The future is an interesting thing to think about. Unexpected trials, seemingly miraculous events happen occasionally. It's something to look forward to with wonder.
