I wish I were the Moon (Redux)
11 November 2008Since I wanted to be a contender in this year’s IGF, I worked a bit on I wish I were the Moon and submitted it.
This new version has more endings, some tweaks and fixes all over the place, and a secret ending. You can play it in Kongregate.
I will link to the most beautiful video walkthrough I get, so if you make one, let me know!
On other news:
- There is a video for my presentation at Japan’s Sense of Wonder Night
- EVA, the argentinian GDC is on this weekend. I’ll be presenting CODEAR, our indie contest, including the Banner Games Contest, Single Screen RPG and the results of Project 2008!

one thing: I could pick up the boat sometimes, but not other times(maybe I couldn’t figure out why), and…it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the endings….

[...] I wish I were the Moon is a more subtle play with scenarios, playable here. As Daniel says I tried to make it about the exploration of an emotional situation instead of a physical space, without using any text. [...]

Don’t you think there should be a happier ening? I got pretty depressed with those endings :~(

@It’s Me: but there’s a lot of happy endings! Try seeing things through the boy’s eyes…
