Here the official release post for the first of many visual short novels in theBox this being the first took me the longest to make cause I had to build the framework and establish a workflow pipeline. With that said I was able to build it for windows and android(ES2 and above) I don't know about linux yet, I'll still have to do some test to verify that.

The final decision for theBoxes feature structure will be story complexity dependent so there may be 1 feature with 5 stories or 5 features with 1 story per, it all depends. Future boxes may even have some extra things in them(mini games, 3d gallery etc). Also as we move to newer and better hardware especially phone wise features may not always be just text and video- I plan to include full voice and 3d models eventually. Decision on galleries for features - Only if necessary, these are short stories so it doesn't tale long to get to the action at all so I'll include a gallery for the features only if necessary.

Futures wishes and updates for future Boxes

Swap out the static Background for better context oriented renders(just didn't work out this time)
Smoother animations- this was my first time fully using blender to animate and I was using a rig different rig although leagues better then what I was using before
More SFX - i want to add more SFX for different scenes hmmms and ahhs en such to breath more life into the story
More devices - eventually want this on Linux and MAC

There's probably some other things on my list I didn't put
