When I first saw the short film, FDA Approved, by my friend Ivette Salom, I was giddy with excitement. It really resonated with me in its quirky weirdness. I told her that I would love to make it interactive, and she gave me the original animation files to rework. The result is the piece above. It takes a little over 5 minutes to play through. I recommend that you approach this piece as interactive art and not as a game; You can not win or lose, and its meaning is open to interpretation.
While for me this is mostly a programming project, I also reworked parts of the animations to loop and created bits of supplemental animation that were needed to convert it to its current form. This was created using Adobe Animate (formerly Flash Professional) and exported to HTML5 using the CreateJS libraries, then programmed in Javascript.
This can load slowly on older mobile devices or over a slow internet connection, and the Android Play version needs to reboot if you switch it to the background. (If there are millions of Android downloads, I will spend time to address the reboot issue.)
