it'll be part of the game "lushfoil photography sim" which will be released with annapurna interactive, I no longer have the rights to distrubite the iceland map on it's own
I've only found out about this game and it blow me away. It's a great experience and i can't wait it to be released as a complete game so i can buy it. But i have a suggestion and i hope the developer will see this comment. If you can make games like this, can you also make a similar game where you can explore different planetary objects like Mars, Venus, Moon, Titan, Europa etc.? Just like an astronaut landed on the planet, we can explore some parts that's been revealed to this date. I think that can be an amazing experience for players and could be a great project to invest on. Most of us will not live long enough to see man landing on Mars and yet we can even walk on fiery surface of the Venus or watch the Saturn rising over the methane lakes of Titan and take pictures (or collect rock samples if it's not too much work lol).
Hey! thanks so much for the kind words and cool ideas. I'm hugely inspired by the atmosphere of some real world locations, but I'm not sure I can say the same for space/interplanetary exploration. It's a cool theme and a great backdrop for a lot of fiction but it's not the kind of thing I personally take a lot of influence from. I prefer to make scenes that are heavily inspired by nature, and grouded in reality (if that makes sense?) sounds like a concept you should work on yourself ;)
Hello I was checking out your content after seeing your game on steam, "Exploring Fushimi Inari" and I found this. In settings it will not allow me to put the lighting on low. Is there a fix?
the physical camera is still experimental but the hand-framing camera mode should still work, did you try that? if it's still not working feel free to request a refund through itch.io, I think you have to submit a support ticket
fair enough! I could actually use some help troubleshooting with index, was the controller squeeze problem prevalent in the new zealand and australian games? those have the newest version of the VR template, I don't know if it's working or not. Also the screenshots are all from the desktop version of the game
Game is awesome. I play it at night before going to sleep, it’s so soothing. I used the photo mode to catch some pics that I use as wallpapers, and it’s nice to see this after a stressful gameplay. Thank you :)
Simply said, all your games have been added to my list. Unfortunately I can't play it with my old rusty computer, but in future it will be a must-Play. Are you planning some new sceneries btw? Maybe something snowy.. idk. Just suggesting :D
This game is beautiful and mind soothing :) Congratulations to you @cavesrd I have a request/question though: is it possible to change the keybinding ? If yes, how to do that? Cause I have an AZERTY keyboard and that's really the only issue I have to point. Thanks by advance for any answer ;)
Thank you! unfortunatley implementing keybindings is one of the hardest things to do, but I might include arrow key input as well, or you can always use a controller!
Hi, very good 3D graphics! Pls consider adding in small wildlife. E.g. birds on tree branches, insects on leaves, hermit crab at the seashore. Players can then explore the environment, try to spot all the wildlife, stored in an photo album.
Yes I have. Reflecting on this, I think this is a consequence of Itch's method of storing data: On Windows, all data from the itch.io app is stored under a seperate user.
that's pretty weird if the folder isn't in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Iceland\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor, then it's definitley itch.io that's handling the files differently somehow
I've never seen a game like this that relaxes my mind, I love this game,and I've never measured a game like this before, it made me feel like it was holding my stomach. hh, a very strange metaphor. thank you, let me break the shackles of time and space, to see these views.

oh my.. i just can't understand but this game made me emotional somehow? IT'S SO GOOD. Thank you so much for making this game ^
thanks for playing!
Nice game
does buying the VR bundle come with the steam keys?
not right now, sorry
man i would love to see more art realistic games like only for graphics its awesome
Hello I was checking out your content after seeing your game on steam, "Exploring Fushimi Inari" and I found this. In settings it will not allow me to put the lighting on low. Is there a fix?
I disabled "low" lighting for this game because it removes the volumetric fog. are you having problems with performance?
Well I average 25-40 frames everything on low except lighting. Its fine though game looks really good and 25-40 fps is not bad at all
ah ok, the lighting change probably won't make much of a difference anyway. I'm hoping to update this game soon with some more optimisations
oh ok thank you
the physical camera is still experimental but the hand-framing camera mode should still work, did you try that?

thank you! yes I definitley have something similar in the works
Real pleasure playing it 👍👍👍
This is beautiful! I've played all of your maps and it had help me a lot to feel a little bit free during this quarentine.
I'm a music composer and a did a piece inspired by the experience of playing your map, I hope you like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsE6Qq6x65Q
nice work man!

Oh OK... Thanks for this quick reply :)
Therefore I'll be waiting for arrow keys as an alternative ;)
Again thanks for your work!
Lovely game! It was a little frustrating to get to the end of the map and then realise that there were objectives though.
haha sorry
Hi, very good 3D graphics! Pls consider adding in small wildlife. E.g. birds on tree branches, insects on leaves, hermit crab at the seashore. Players can then explore the environment, try to spot all the wildlife, stored in an photo album.
good idea! unfortunatley I don't have much experience with animation, only environment design. but i'll keep it on the list
Where are files saved? It does not seem to save the images anywhere.
there is an option to open the screenshots folder on exiting, it's in appdata/local/iceland
It does not open the folder.
that would only happen if you haven't taken any photos, have you found the in-game camera yet?
Yes I have. Reflecting on this, I think this is a consequence of Itch's method of storing data: On Windows, all data from the itch.io app is stored under a seperate user.
that's pretty weird if the folder isn't in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Iceland\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor, then it's definitley itch.io that's handling the files differently somehow
This game blew my mother away, and myself, these type of graphics are what some people get paid millions of dollars to work on

you're very welcome, glad it made you feel that way
