What's the inspiration behind 'Dear Mom'?

Hi,

Honestly, I never believed that I'd be able to complete a game. Before I started working on 'Dear Mom' I left 2 projects which I thought were not good enough. 

One day, I had a fight with my mom, I said mean things to her which, obviously, made her cry. I cried too, thinking how can I be so mean. That day, I realized that we all do this to our moms, at least once in our life. We get busy with our lives, we think we know much better, and one day we realize that mom was right, and we were being a jerk as always.

Something triggered inside me, I don't know what, and I wanted to transform that feeling into something creative and beautiful, something which everyone can experience and relate to.

Through this game, I just wanted my players to walk with me the path of hearts in the game, the path of life which we all walk individually, collecting memories and regrets. I wanted my players to remember their childhood, relive the most beautiful moments with their moms, and last but not the least, after playing 'Dear Mom', I wanted them to talk to their mom and tell them how much they love her. And I was successful, to some extent, as most of the people who played it, called their mom right after the game to tell her that they love her. 

It feels beautiful every time my players tell me that they called their mom after playing this game. This is the sole reason I wanted to make 'Dear Mom' and publish it as soon as I could.
