presents the viewer with a five-minute vacation programmed inside of a quaint mobile camper made entirely from paper. Players are encouraged to click around for “hot spots” hidden throughout the site which spring to life when selected.

Interesting

I am currently developing a mobile (and PC) app called "Van Life Trail" (think of the old Oregon Trail game) where the player will choose their van, a route, and make day to day decisions about their van, money, where to stay, places to see, etc. During the course of the traveling the player will encounter things like hitch hikers, stray dogs, or whatever. Obviously there is more too it, but I am hoping to have it on the app store by the end of the year.

Interesting. Are you going to have a trying-to-avoid-heat-stroke aspect to it?

Hmmm

I like both!

Please! Keep us posted, van tramp!

Van Life Trail sounds great! It might be morbid, but as kids we'd compete to see who could kill off the settlers fastest in Oregon Trail. Having funny ways the character can get hurt (like falling into the grand canyon taking a selfie) might be something to add

Lol perj28, we used to compete to see how many different ways we could die in Oregon trail. The one with the most had bragging rights.

If van-dwelling games followed the questions that most newbies have, it would contain a "where can I go to poop?" puzzle, a "can I bring my Playstation and my cat with me?" level, and a "how can I make enough money?" boss fight.

There could be challenges like remembering to check air pressure, and surprises like finding free water.
