Update May 2021!
It's here, the next update. So head on over to the usual download spot at -https://thermifish.itch.io/reborn-app-refunded(Mac update coming soon)When I said within the next 30 days I wasn't expecting to run the timer up until the final hour, but at least it's ready... hopefully. Bugs always tend to slip through. I should honestly do smaller, more frequent updates to make the testing easier.Anyway, I'll have more to say in the Behind The Scenes post coming soon. So until then, sta...
Behind The Scenes - April 2021
Welcome to another behind the scenes post.First up, the next update should be done within the next 30 days. That's what I'm aiming for anyway. I'll update the walk through shortly afterwards to match what's been completed since I last updated it.As it stands I'm aiming to have three large updates done before the year is out, with the ultimate goal to bring Reborn App to a mostly complete state. There will still be room to expand, but there shouldn't be anything missing.Af...
Behind The Scenes - March 2021
Welcome to behind the scenes March.So let's start off with why there was no BTS Febuary. Well last month was just a complete wash honestly. I couldnt find much time to work on stuff, and what attempts I did make quickly hit dead ends.Fortunately, things have since brightened up. Had a nice chat with one of the new patrons, and now I have a much clearer idea of what shape the next update will take. Now I just need to put myself in gear and get it done. The next update will mainly be the compl...
Behind The Scenes - January 2021
Welcome to the first behind the scenes for 2021. I hope everyone had a safe holiday.So what's been going on and what's next? Well after the most recent Reborn App update I took a short break to finish another project... which was universally panned so let's never mention it again.After that I tried a different approach, and made a possession comic, which then became a caption story. Anyway that's just something I'm doing where the inspiration hits, testing a potential medium ...
Happy New Years
Happy New Years Everyone.I've got the final update for 2020 ready, and 'most' of what I wanted to get done has been achieved... I hope. Didn't have much time to do thorough bug testing (not that I ever do that anyway). If there is a major problem I'll roll out an update in the new year along with the Mac version.Link - https://thermifish.itch.io/reborn-app-refundedStay safe, and see you all in the new years. Plenty new things to come.
Behind The Scenes - December
Seasons greetings everyone.Let's jump right into it. Progress on the next update happening. One path is all but done, while another has little bit more writing left to be finished up. Holidays are here, and as we're all stuck indoors, that leaves plenty of time to work on finishing things up.So what's the release date? At the moment it's looking like it'll be around the 30th, so about 10 days from now. Can't promise the date won't slip, or that it'll be playable a...
Behind The Scenes - November
Hello hello,Welcome back to another behind the scenes. I've had a little break after releasing the last update, and am now back in action putting everything into the next update which I'm hoping will be a big one.Some of you may have noticed the character MiMI had her branch updated in the last update, I hope to that completed as well if everything goes to plan.In short, if everything goes to plan, then the next update will include MiMi's content finished, the combined friends (when ...
Walk-through Post
Hello, this post contains the walk-through parts I've made so far. There's still a lot more to come, so I'll link back to this post when I add more.Thanks for your patience, enjoy.

Behind The Scenes - October
Hello again.Welcome back to another behind the scenes. So let's get right into it. The next update will likely be about a fortnight from now. The meat of the update as mentioned before will be Cassidy's content, with some minor paths for other routes also being added in. I'll be updating the walk through at the same time.Aside from that there isn't all that much to talk about. Following the next update I'll begin work on the games 'true' ending, aiming to get that out...
Behind The Scenes - September
Welcome welcome.Not much has been happening this month. After releasing the previous update I took a short break to work on some other stuff. Don't worry though, I'm back at it and working on adding the main Cassidy content in the next update. Its always been a path that I felt I didn't do justice to when writing it originally. My goal is to improve the writing in it a little, and also add a few extra branches to explore some of the things Cassidy did in the past.Moving on, a feature...
Mac Download Links
Hello. Since there has been interest in a port for Macs, I've attempted to do just that.The following page has a download link for a Mac build and an HTML build. Hopefully one of them will work for Mac users.https://thermifish.itch.io/reborn-app-refundedImportant note. I don't own a Mac so can't test if the build works or not. Hopefully it does. If there's any problems let me know.For everyone else, it's likely I'll be moving future file hosting to itch.io since the file ...
Reborn App Update August
The August update I promised is finally here... and it wasn't even universally late. This update adds most of Kyoko's content, and along with the start of some content for a new character. I didn't have time to add anything beyond her introduction unfortunately.As always I've added more bugs than I fixed, and struggled with updating the UI so left it as it was for now (also an engine update broke the UI so it's worse now).Overall not much has changed, but I kept the file size...
Poll - Discord Server
Just a quick poll to see if there is interest in an Offical Discord Server for Reborn App (and whatever else I happen to be working on)
Behind The Scenes - August
Hello Everyone.Welcome to the slightly later than usual August Edition of Behind The Scenes. The first topic will be regarding the summer clean-up. Over the next few days I'll going back and deleting some old files and posts, and also updating information pages. The Twine build will be rebranded as Reborn App Legacy, and other stuff will be locked inside a dark cupboard never to be seen again.By the end of the month (with the release of the next update) the focus will be on the VNMaker versi...
Reborn App Update
Greetings All.The newest build for Reborn App is now available. This version adds the sports tournament to the game, and also adds a bunch of stuff for what happens after choosing to test the poser on Dave, including what happens if Hana then steals it. There isn't too much that is brand new, just some extensions to existing paths and additional endings.Overall things are still a bit messy. In addition to new bugs, some old bugs from the previous update haven't been squashed yet. There i...
Behind The Scenes - July
Hello Everyone,I figure the best way to start these posts is to start by talking about current progress. This month work has been focused on the sports tournament route, and also finally fixing the immunity flag so you can see what happens when the phone is stolen while the player is poser immune. A couple of other places have been progress as well.Work on an improved guide is also underway, will be released for parts as they are completed. I'm also fixing the back log button, but that has i...
Behind The Scenes - June
Hello again. Now that most people following this have had time to play the most recent update I'd like to talk about some of the changes made.So, starting with the elephant in the room, why switch to a new engine?The short answer, Twine was too limited, at least for someone with non-existance programming skills. The project had become bigger than what Twine could handle, and so a massive change had to be made.Why VN Maker? Well as I just mentioned, I can't code. I did take a shot at conv...
Reborn App Update
Hello everyone. Today you can play the next step in the development of Reborn App. Introducing Reborn App Refunded Edition. Either download via the attached file, or play online at https://thermifish.itch.io/reborn-app-refunded.Jokes aside. This new version no longer uses twine, and instead uses Visual Novel Maker. Those following my other activities will have noticed I've been experimenting with it. While I know many of you will shudder with dread hearing that change, the game still uses no...
Not Abandoned. Update Next Week.
Hello everyone, I wasn't going to post until the next big update was out, but I saw a sudden spike in traffic so I just want to confirm that I'm not dead, the project isn't abandoned, and the next update will be very soon...Why has it took so long? Simple, I've ditched twine, and moved to a new engine so expect Reborn App to look quite different going forward.I'll explain in more detail when the update drops, so keep your eyes on this space.
Merry Christmas Update
Hello everyone.Firstly, I'll apologise for being quiet for the past year. The TL;DR was working bad job, quit said job, got better job, have a lot more free time to work on projects.Secondly, let's talk about Reborn App. I've been making big changes to it in response to feedback. Week 2 is gone, and content that used to be there will now either happen during week 1 or shelved.The reason for this is a major change in the plot. At the start of the second week Hunter will now appear to ...
Reborn App Week 2 Update
Hello everyone.Here's the final update to Reborn App for the year. This update polishes up the rest of week 2, adding some missing images and a walk-through for all the content.This version will go public in a day, but before that I'll be updating the information on my patron to reflect the current game status and my plans going forward.Thank you all for you continued support. Happy New Year. See you on the other side.
Long Overdue Status Update
TL;DR - Fear not. I'm not dead, and neither is Reborn App.Let me first apologize for the lack of communication over the past few months. I've had less free time and more times competing for that free time. The next update for Reborn App was half-done before it came to a slow halt.Fortunately, most of my other projects have now either been finished, or scrapped, so development of Reborn App will now continue.I've attached two files to this post, 'Savior Academy' and 'Rebor...
Ciyo-Egg Demo Public
Public Download for the concept game Ciyo-Egg.Changes from previous version - The game now has a simple turn based combat system. New scenes have been added to support this, including a new mini-branch which adds a new special ending to the game.
Concept Game
As anyone who follows these posts will be aware, I've been working on a concept for my next big project. The concept game, Ciyo-Egg, is now ready for testing.It is a fairly short adventure game. It's story is as generic as they come, protagonist gets stuck in a fantasy world and must get back. Along the way they meet people, and the choices they make may lead to them being transformed one way or another. Some choices may bring the story to a premature bad end.The concept game itself is c...
Patreon Changes
Hello again. Time for another post. This time I'll address changes I'll be making in the near future.Not long ago I stopped the monthly payments. This was done in response to Patreon changing to how it charged people. Since then that change has been rolled back.I'll be turning monthly payments back on, but not just yet. I may also be forced to change how I deliver rewards due to recent problems. For those unaware there has been a massive surge in fake pledges which has hit a lot of c...
Reborn App Version 1.0 Public
See below for the download link.Just Unzip and play in browser.Update - Updated file to fix a reported bug.
New Years Blog Post
2017 was the year I stopped wanting to make a fun game and started actually making one. Around this time last year was when I discovered TFgamesite and decided to try my hand at making an interactive story for myself.Inspired by Student Transfer and Press Switch I set about creating my own game in the same vein as those two. Thus the Reborn App project was started.Looking back it was mixture of success and failure. The initial reaction was good and inspired me to continue, but very quickly inter...
Patreon Changes
TL;DR - I hate how the new charging system works and don't want to support it. In response to recent changes Patreon has made regarding both how their fees work, and their stance of projects like mine, I've decided to go and look for greener pastures.What does that mean? Well I'm turning off monthly payments and will now use this platform for posting updates and hosting files. I'm not stopping work on Reborn App, but I hate this new system. I'll continue doing early Patreon u...
