For some reason the game keeps opening up with my view stuck and clipping through the ground. Is there a way to fix this? I'm currently redownloading the game. Thanks for your time.
well its insane graphics n game altogether, but all iv found of interest is the camera, the photo board and the cave thingy, n iv looked around 4 ages. how do i find more stuff/go to next level? im lost.
(ps i thought fs19 graphics were good till i saw this)
unbelievably beautiful. thank you so much for making this, playing through it made me very happy. im def gonna check out all the other stuff youve uploaded as well as try to find the drone (which i didnt realize existed until just now looking at the other comments)
Hey man, I love your work! Still haven't found the drone, but I'm going to try again later today. Do you think in any future update you might add some birds, deer, other animals to give more subjects to shoot with the camera? Because thats the one thing I really would love to see is wildlife. I know that gets tricky and can potentially pull away from the realism. But I would love to take some pictures of a bird on the fence post. Or a lizard on a rock. know what I mean?
Keep up the great work! Oh and on the Iceland map, is there a key I'm supposed to find to open that gate? Cause that's what the clues make me believe.
If you've played Fushimi Inari by CavesRD you might remember going off the road to find a hidden statue and take a picture of it. Well, the idea is reused here. Go off the road sometimes :)
Hi Matt, I was excited to see the remaster but I can't get it to work. It wouldn't download through Itch ("no compatible uploads were found" and when I downloaded it from the website and unzipped it, I got a frozen screen where the lower half (grass area) was blank white. I did try moving the whole folder to where I have my Itch games, but it still does not work & I can't open it through Itch. My apologies if this is a noob question, but what am I missing? Thanks!
hey, this sounds really weird, just make sure you have all the correct unreal engine prerequisites installed, you can get them from the .exe in Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us
I've checked out the rain map pretty thoroughly, but I still can't seem to find the drone. I re downloaded and played through again, but I still can't find it. am I stupid, or is there something I need to do after I get the rain map...?
I just tried the NZ VR and it runs at only a few FPS. I noticed that my GPU usage peaked at only 4% during this time. I have a 1070ti and can run games like HL:A just fine, so I don't know why it runs so slow.
It doesn't look like it is using my GPU. Is there some debug log or some other way to see whats going on?
Rift S. I tried messing with window selection but it didn't do much. It launches full screen then shrinks down to a smaller window. I noticed that guardian isn't working when it runs either.
unfortnatley not with the packaged version of the game. the fact that guardian isn't working also makes me think it's not part of the game, make sure you have checked 'enable unknown sources' in oculus settings and have all the unreal engine prerequisite files installed
Hey Matt! Just finished the remastered version and its amazing. Thank you for the small secret at the very end, wish I got more time in it though. Love the new camera too :) -@Jakekvdron
Hey Matt: Just paid a bit over $1 for the rainy version. This stuff's great, you've done a great job with the 'virtual travel' niche and at the perfect time (while we're all getting stir crazy due to coronavirus) and I wish you all the best with these virtual recreations of breathtaking outdoor scenes!
I'm doing some of the same sort of thing BTW - or trying to - with my fantasy game 'Miniature Multiverse' but I'm not quite done with that yet.
I've got that and some stock media stuff [textures, 3d objects, video elements, etc] on sale right now via https://matthornb.itch.io.
Anyway, look forward to more from you in the future. Maybe what I spent here can help lead to future scenes and more of your stuff posted on Steam down the road? I know it's $100 and a fair bit of work, just to post a game on Steam so that's not super easy, but I appreciate that you managed to move the Kyoto and Iceland scenes there despite that barrier.
Thank you very much for these projects. I just finished Mýrdalssandur. Awesome work! Do you plan to release this on Steam too (paid)? I would love to support you there :)
- Select folder in file explorer, right mouse click on it and export/unzip to chosen destination.
- Go into the unzipped file and run the exe (it's what the game is, keep in mind that other folders have to be included in the same folder system, that's where all the codes are for the exe).
hey Matt! I really adore your work here and thus purchased the Rain version. It's beautiful, but you should take another look at the main paths. They slightly float above the ground, making it look really weird. Could you fix this? I would gladly wander around on the rainy map again, without those graphical errors. Thanks! :)
hey thanks for playing, unfortunatley with the way ue4 works I can only bend splines in certain directions, meaning if I adjust the road at one point then somewhere else it would stick up/be submerged in the ground. So it's not as simple as it looks, but once I finish with my newer projects maybe i'll come back to it
I know I'm late to the party but I really wanted to give my opinion on this game.
I loved that there were multiple choices for the lightning and the music. Most "exploration games" don't let the player customize their experience, but yours did! And I liked that I could also hear birds chirping, it added to the immersion.
I'm pretty stressed right now but I found your game very relaxing. Just walking around, exploring the area, taking a lot of screenshots because your game is so fucking gorgeous, etc. Honestly, for such a small map, I thought there was a lot to explore! I thought the grotto was a cool detail by the way.
In my opinion, your game deserves waaay more comments and recognition. I'm gonna stop here because it's getting super long and you probably don't have time for this lol, but I just want you to know that I absolutely loved this and that I'm definitely gonna play your Japan map.
dude seriously thanks so much for this comment. glad you stumbled upon my project and super happy you think about it in that way. also hope you enjoy the japan one 🤙🏻
Good god, this is stunning. You might want to add borders, or something so you can't fall through the map, though... lol. I loved this, though. I just wish there were even more to see.
sorry that happened to you lol, where did you happen to fall through? If I can reproduce this then I can probably fix it in an update. and yeah I wish it was bigger too, when i finished it I just felt like I couldn’t work on it anymore. you should play my japan map though it’s like three times the size!

that means you've launched the VR version instead of the Desktop version
Ok, thanks!
Thank you so much for this game. It's been a stressful past few weeks and this was such a relaxing and calming experience!
you're welcome! thanks for playing
Maybe an issue with either the movement blur or the mouse smoothing?
just bought the bundle, but cant seem to download this? it wont give me an option for the game to download, just where it'll download too.. hm
you have to do it from the download link in your email receipt
well its insane graphics n game altogether, but all iv found of interest is the camera, the photo board and the cave thingy, n iv looked around 4 ages. how do i find more stuff/go to next level? im lost.
(ps i thought fs19 graphics were good till i saw this)
i figured mebbe take pictures of the places on the photo board, but iv got absolutely no idea where some of them are.
Iceland and Fushimi Inari are not VR?
they are! but you need to donate $4 or more
Great game but I can't open up the Camera, am I doing something wrong?
you need to find it in the world first
How do you get the new rainy version? I have the old rain version still on my pc.
the rain version is now merged with the main game
Maybe I'm just being thick but how do I switch to the rain map?
I can't really explain without spoiling the game, you have to finish all the objectives in the first level
stunning environment, seriously. this is the warm virtual bath i was looking for!
thank you!
unbelievably beautiful. thank you so much for making this, playing through it made me very happy. im def gonna check out all the other stuff youve uploaded as well as try to find the drone (which i didnt realize existed until just now looking at the other comments)
thank you so much! I think I made the drone a little too hidden, just search the rain map for anything that wasn't there before
any further hints?
it's off the main road
Got it!! Thanks!
How can I save the game? After I reload all my progress is lost.
currently no momentary saving, but it'll save after each level
Ok, thank you. Nice game btw. ;)
Hey man, I love your work! Still haven't found the drone, but I'm going to try again later today.

Keep up the great work! Oh and on the Iceland map, is there a key I'm supposed to find to open that gate? Cause that's what the clues make me believe.
HOW DO I FIND THE DRONE
spend some more time exploring the rain map
What part is the rain map? Does it have a cave with glowing things
If you've played Fushimi Inari by CavesRD you might remember going off the road to find a hidden statue and take a picture of it. Well, the idea is reused here. Go off the road sometimes :)
I loved the view! Everything its awesome! You made an fantastic work on this one! <3
But my camera doesn't open, even pressing the spacebar... Should i do something?
you need to find the camera in the game first
Is there any way to run this at 1440p? It doesn't appear to be running at the native resolution of my monitor
that's weird that it doesn't automatically adjust, I think there might be an .ini file you can modify but i'm not sure
Hi Matt, I was excited to see the remaster but I can't get it to work.

coom
i cant figure out how to use the camera
space
DRONE???
WHAT???
HOW???
explore the rain map a bit more
you guys ROCK
I've checked out the rain map pretty thoroughly, but I still can't seem to find the drone. I re downloaded and played through again, but I still can't find it. am I stupid, or is there something I need to do after I get the rain map...?
ope i got it. sequence was just confusing me.
looks cool realistic!!!
Could you make it downloadable through the itch.io app?
it doesn't already work?
No.
Works now.
Beautiful but contractionary
what do you mean
Very dark athmosperic
I just tried the NZ VR and it runs at only a few FPS. I noticed that my GPU usage peaked at only 4% during this time. I have a 1070ti and can run games like HL:A just fine, so I don't know why it runs so slow.

what headset are you using? I get this issue when the game window isn't selected, but otherwise it should work fine
Rift S. I tried messing with window selection but it didn't do much. It launches full screen then shrinks down to a smaller window. I noticed that guardian isn't working when it runs either.
sounds like it's something on your end, I haven't heard this issue from anyone else
Are there logs produced by your engine that I could look into?
unfortnatley not with the packaged version of the game. the fact that guardian isn't working also makes me think it's not part of the game, make sure you have checked 'enable unknown sources' in oculus settings and have all the unreal engine prerequisite files installed
Hey Matt! Just finished the remastered version and its amazing. Thank you for the small secret at the very end, wish I got more time in it though. Love the new camera too :) -@Jakekvdron
glad you liked it! thanks for playing
could i use the scene for a scary game i want to make
Yeah! very beautiful
it's amazing!!!I really love this series!! and I will await for more excellent works!

does it work with the oculus quest
not exclusively but it should work with link if you have a pc
Thank you very much for these projects. I just finished Mýrdalssandur. Awesome work! Do you plan to release this on Steam too (paid)? I would love to support you there :)
I haven't had much demand for it to be put on steam but I might do it soon!
This is the craziest graphics i have ever seen in my entire life! Keep up the great work!
how do you open the packs lol I feel like a noob!!!
- Download Winzip / Winrar / Hamster Zip.
- Select folder in file explorer, right mouse click on it and export/unzip to chosen destination.
- Go into the unzipped file and run the exe (it's what the game is, keep in mind that other folders have to be included in the same folder system, that's where all the codes are for the exe).
- it should start up directly.

Does the VR mode support use of and Xbox controller?
not currently! but it's on my to-do list
excited for more like this and your fushimi one. I love the fact that you have a rainy option for good ole nz.
happy you dig it, i'm legit working on 3 scenes right now so come back soon!
its so realistic to the point my gtx 650 was in denial with this game and its not running smooth enough lol.
hope you can upgrade someday man
i created an account just to say this game is amazing. even though it only runs at like 3 frames a second.
haha thanks I appreciate it, I hope you get the opportunity to upgrade your pc someday!
