So i been trying to access my photos from the game itself(like access the folder from the game) and for some reason I cant. Is there a folder i can manually look for? Also the same issue with Links to the discord and twitter
I'm playing on gamepad, and when I press Start, then navigate the cursor over to Settings, then press the "ok" button (i.e. A on Xbox), instead of opening the settings, it takes me back to my boat.
did my game glitch or is there no way to leave the main menu options menu, also please put actual resolution options in the main menu, otherwise very cool and peaceful game
I spent an hour taking photos and I do not regret it a single bit. My only complaint is that there's limited things to take photos of, and the player is a little short. Here's a photo I took while just walking around in 60°79'N 12°27'E
Fantastic and evocative experience. I loved how small, picturesque scenes could be found in all the islands that I generated. The variety in locale you were able to get was really interesting.
Thoroughly enjoyed exploring these islands, bravo dev!
Even though my current rig probably can't handle this game, I gotta buy one. I can just play it later on, AND it'll provide a free one to someone else. The game looks gorgeous, and as an amateur photographer, yet quite experienced artist, I absolutely love photography mechanics in games!
I’m attempting to run on linux and all I can see when I try to play the game is a black screen and a crosshair. I can tell the game is loaded in, and the controls are working, because I can hear the water, and footsteps, and make my way out onto the beach, but none of the visuals are properly displaying :<
Oh I figured it out, if I use right click to open up the camera it starts displaying, and when I exit out it’s working. Is this working as intended?
The idea is very nice, sadly, it is quite poorly optimized :( Tried playing and the game got stuck (I could press buttons, but nothing was happening) in the options. After restart managed to make it work, but got stuck again on a piece of terrain. Also, noone mentioned it, but the boat you spawn in is shaking the player wildly.
The idea is lovely and the visuals look nice! Hope to see this project in a better shape in the future: :)
Also! i understand, that the idea behind this is to be able to relax, but imho (you can ignore me, if you dont want advice, ofc) some chill quests or at least collectibles would improve the experience!
Seems to run terribly on Mac Mojave. I'm on a 16GB RAM with a 3.6ghz i3 and Radeon Pro 555X so it's not unable to play games, but this is basically a slideshow unfortunately! Almost locked up my entire Mac at one point.
Got the game in the bundle yesterday and was really looking forward to play it with my niece today, but I can't download it without buying it again. There is no download option. Help would be much appreciated🙂
just saw the community copy thing, that is so incredibly sweet wow. i just got the game in the bundle and it was the first game i tested, expecting to only play a few minutes of it because usually im not the type for games with no goals BUT DAMN like. this game is incredibly nice and intuitive to play and i love it so much already. I think like as a game dev procedural stuff can feel overdone a bit, but the idea to combine it with photography is really fun and keeps you engaged way longer than I had expected.
here are some feedback ideas I thought of: - i noticed that the camera UI has an (ISO/1/60 shutter) written the the bottom, i honestly thought i could change that in some way and tbh i think it would be dope if you would flesh out the camera more like that? changing shutter dissolve / iso / exposure time ( i google translated all of these words rn) and playing around with photos like that would be a really cool addition, because people can learn how camera basics work and i think you can do a lot with just these three settings in terms of interesting photos - i would love if there would be some more movement in the sceneries, like lighting bug particles or small animals or some wind animations of trees etc (that would also work really well with the first idea because then you could do cool motion blur photos because of the movement) - I like how little tutorial the game has but maybe spawn the player character next to the boat and not on the boat when the game first starts, because I was very confused when the travel-UI popped up after i took my first photo - maybe a smaller second compass needle pointing back to the boat would be a nice idea because some islands did get really big tbh - the "Return to your boat to move on" text is in a photograph if you take one while its displayed
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, it means a lot! <3
The shutter speed / ISO / exposure “triangle” and it’s effects are actually pretty tricky to implement, but it is definitely under consideration! I’m currently working on a generator overhaul with lots of new stuff to take photos off, and definitely a few moving parts in the mix :)
I will admit, I have never thought about spawning next to the boat, but it’s actually a pretty good idea! I will test that!
I haven't played the game yet, but I really plan on doing so, specially after seeing the community copies, that's the nicest thing I've ever saw from a game publisher, I appreciate what you're doing a lot, keep it up!!!

Can you tell me which platform you’re playing on? The folder locations depend on the OS, but the path contains
on any OS :)

Thank you for your report, that bug has now been squished, update the game to solve your issue :)
New Update!!!
Woot

Discord link does not work.

This was delightfully relaxing. I have a let's play of it up here!
Thank you for playing, Gary! Your stroll was delightful ✨
Playing the Daily Equilibrium with some ambient space banjo music in the background is my new therapy. Thank you <3
I loved this game
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for playing! I’ll check out your VOD! ✨
DOES work on Steam Deck
Fantastic and evocative experience. I loved how small, picturesque scenes could be found in all the islands that I generated. The variety in locale you were able to get was really interesting.

This game was very peaceful and relaxing to play. The only issue I came across was that whenever a world generated rain my game would crash.
Even though my current rig probably can't handle this game, I gotta buy one. I can just play it later on, AND it'll provide a free one to someone else. The game looks gorgeous, and as an amateur photographer, yet quite experienced artist, I absolutely love photography mechanics in games!

Definitely not intended, I’m currently monitoring this bug :)
Same issue, glad it's easily fixed.

Hey! You need to download the game through the bundle page to claim it to your account :)

- i would love if there would be some more movement in the sceneries, like lighting bug particles or small animals or some wind animations of trees etc (that would also work really well with the first idea because then you could do cool motion blur photos because of the movement)
- I like how little tutorial the game has but maybe spawn the player character next to the boat and not on the boat when the game first starts, because I was very confused when the travel-UI popped up after i took my first photo

anyways I really love the game ♥
