"Flappy Bird" developer Dong Nguyen is back from his self-imposed exile. Nguyen attended Gamelab Barcelona 2014 and gave an informative talk to conference attendees about his future plans.

The 29-year-old announced that he is working on a "big game," but was mum on other details. He also talked about releasing an updated "Flappy Bird." Among Nguyen's proposed changes are a break in gameplay that would make "Flappy Bird" less addictive.

"I am making a big game now, and I see it as many small games put together. My job is to synchronise those components in order to create one unique experience. ... My new game will focus on competitions between players who can see each other in the game. I will also introduce new obstacles while maintaining the simplicity of the gameplay that Flappy Bird has."

Additionally, MMOSITE reports that the new "Flappy Bird" would include "new characters, a new art style that isn't pixel art, multiplayer, and new obstacles and environments." It's important to note that this update isn't a sure thing, so don't get your hopes up yet.

The simpleness of "Flappy Bird," coupled with its retro 8-bit graphics and cheesy lovability, catapulted it to immense popularity and infamy. It was also extremely hard, like the helicopter game on steroids.

These factors made "Flappy Bird" the most downloaded mobile game of 2013. It was also a quite lucrative venture. Nguyen was reportedly making $50,000 per day off the ad revenue generated from millions of users playing the game. The game itself was a free download.

Nguyen warned that he'd take down the game though. He quickly followed through on plans to remove "Flappy Bird" from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Countless imitatations quickly followed.

Nyugen was concerned that the game was highly addictive and he was being harassed over the quality of the game. Forbes reported that Dong said that the game "ruined his simple life."

But the negativity surrounding Dong reached a fever pitch when he was the recipient of a death hoax, claiming that he had taken his own life via a bullet to the head.

The fallout surrounding Nguyen and his game has finally subsided. Is it worth stirring up again?
