With the release of our new interactive animated feature film M doll. mdollmovie.com

We do our best to push the stagnating film industry into an exciting new direction for film fans with interactive film releases.

Do you want to be able to "jump" in and out of the films you watch?

"Extra" features have not been the same since DVD's died. We're doing our best to re-introduce the special into a film releases special features.

If you have any ideas, suggestions for interactive film releases please share them and we will do our best to integrate them into this evolving new way to interface with films.

*we will be sharing the tools/code we developed to do this release on our Github as soon as we can https://github.com/mdotstrange

How is this different from a video game?

So its a 2 hour animated feature film. A video file. The video file plays inside of a "game". While watching the film you can press a key/button to "jump" into the scene you are watching to explore what would be a "game" version of the scene, then back into the film. There are 37 such scenes that link to scenes in the film.

It is made in a game engine so you could argue that it is a new genre of game but nothing is gamified, there's no points, progress etc. Since I'm a filmmaker first and game dev second I'm calling it an interactive film.

btw* here's another hard to classify thing- its a "game" that makes animations or maybe its a gamey animation tool? Free on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1355310/Nightmare_Puppete...
