I finally opened it and looked around and it was super lovely! It just looks so wonderful and cozy, I felt I could just be in it all day wandering and taking it in. I loved the birds and the wind and those extra things. Very relaxing and joyful experience! Great job ! <3 And also nice that you can adjust the effects in the settings as well.
Brother game development is good, rendering and modeling, as well as small animations, landscapes, and lighting effects are done well. I hope you continue to create: tasks, plots, characters, animations, etc. Thank you! You have the opportunity to become a 3A masterpiece.
Thanks! I agree with your sentiment. It was too many things to handle at the same time so I had to cut a lot of my ideas, otherwise I'd be working on this forever. But for my next projects, I will definitely start with the gameplay and come up with a good game loop before doing any art :)
I had a plan to make the interior of the hermetic school accessible with tons of texts and stuff. Maybe a little initiation. But I had to cut the scope and move on. If you are curious about the text look up Emerald Tablet of Thoth and the Kybalion. It's fascinating stuff :)
I only know vaguely about Aleister Crowley's work, I have the small red book (forgot the name). From the little I studied about it, it seems to send the reader in some potentially very weird directions. I prefer to stick with the white side of things, as playing too much with darkness can easily get you burned :) Hermetic philosophy supposedly has its origins in Ancient Egypt (which was known as Kemet back then - which is where the word alchemy is derived from). Plato and many others were initiated into these teachings. The teachings survived over the millennium through fragments and countless translations, so what we get now might be distorted. The Kybalion has the best introduction to the subject, and once you learn it, you can recognize its principles in every phenomenon in life, and learn how to change situations to your benefit and evolution (through transmutation). Hope that helps :D
I'm gonna work on the VR version as soon as I have some energy and time :) Originally it was a VR only experience and I already have things halfway set up for it.
Strange, I never had any crashes nor anyone reported any before. Are you running updated drivers? What's your graphics card? I can enable Vsync option. Cheers!
Love this, wish there were a few more beautiful or art games in the mix on itch.io and not just the endless pile of dark horror titles. Not anything wrong with horror as a genre, but variety is valuable. Sometimes other experiences are good to have.
And your work here is fantastic, really appreciating the artistry and skill, all the beautiful detailing involved in this environment. If you could use packs of realistic textures / 3d items btw I have a july 4th sale active now and that allows for thousands of textures and hundreds of 3d assets bundled under $2. And whether you actually decide to go for that or not... I will support you now with $2.50 so... there is that.
Horror (and porn) dominate Itch.IO indeed. I think it's because most people are looking for thrills and strong emotions :) But cool to know that there's interest for other types of experience! Cheers!
no problem... it worked.... and now I feel enlighted and inspired ๐คฉI love Spain, I've visited Catalonia, Andalucia, Extremadura and Mallorca so many times and when I visit a Spanish village I always love the atmosphere and feel a little bit like home. Going through your village brought me some feelings like that... I think next time when I visit a Spanish village I'll look out for the mushrooms in the plant pots ๐ตโ๐ซ๐
haha awesome to hear you were able to have those feelings :D last year I visited the South of Portugal (Algarve) and I kinda wish I had visited it earlier, because it gave me a lot more ideas for this. Cheers!

Beautiful Scenery. But what's with that sign about Hermetic Writings?

Isn't that stuff related to Aleister Crowley?

It evens runs on my low-spec machine with no issues.
Yes to the VR version,
Nice to hear! What are your specs? I optimized it heavily, but for VR a medium/high-end PC will be required because of how Unity HDRP renders things.
i3 3.6ghz gtx1650
thanks
That's great to know, that's about the hardware I was targeting as a base.
This looks very neat. Exactly the kind of thing I would love to visit in VR. And I've got the headset for it!

Sounds cool! I'll be keeping an eye on the page :)
this game feels like home <3

a lot of crashing and no option to enable or disable vsync
Strange, I never had any crashes nor anyone reported any before. Are you running updated drivers? What's your graphics card? I can enable Vsync option. Cheers!
So cool. I just want to know why it has as brazilian song in the radio lol ( sorry for the bad english )
Haha, the song was made by a high school friend of mine :) Just blame globalization, in the Spanish Town universe that song is traveling the world :)
Really beautiful and atmospheric! I love the voice you can hear hinting at actual people in the buildings.
Thanks! The voices are really cool indeed, made by Emma Krammer-Rodger!
