Johnny Reboot - Not quite dead

The new version of Johnny Reboot uses the  Unreal Engine 4 motor.

I really feelt like i need to do an update on Virtual Plague´s game "Johnny Reboot". Because not so long ago i wrote that the game just died on Kickstarter. Well, that´s true. But Johnny Reboot are not dead just because of the Kickstarter cancellation. Nope, i actually chatted a bit with Virtual Plague on Twitter today.

And that´s how i found out that Johnny Reboot are back in biz again. The game just needed a reboot. And this time Johnny Reboot will use Unreal Engine 4, instead of the Unity engine. So i guess that you could say (in a way) that Johnny Reboot are back from the dead (yay!).

Anyhow, this is the offical statement by Martyn Tranter (the brain behind Johnny Reboot) himself.

"Hey everyone!

After reading a few articles that I found online, I feel really upset for not being able to continue the Kickstarter. But at the end of the day it was the right choice for us, with the story being so personal to myself, I just felt that Johnny Reboot needed more development time.

The game is far from over, we have decided that the best thing to do is change engines, from Untiy to the newly released Unreal Engine 4.

I want to thank everyone that has given us support in this big decision that we had to make, and i can assure you all, Johnny Will be back better then before!

Thank you!
