Erkunde die steinigen Flussbetten, dichten Waldpfade, weiten Ackerflächen und fernen Hügel des Wakamarina Valley in Neuseeland - ein kurzes Indie-Simulationsabenteuer nahe der Queen Charlotte Sound auf der Südinsel. Nimm die In-Game-Kamera zur Hand, um Fotos zu schießen, mit der Umgebung zu interagieren und Foto-Aufgaben zu meistern, während du frei umherstreifst. Achtsamkeit enthüllt versteckte Orte und neue Highlights in diesem erfahrung ohne Führungshände, das in Unreal Engine 4 mit photoscanned Assets für realistische Echtzeitgrafik entstanden ist.
Ein sorgfältig kuratierter Soundtrack steigert das Immersionsgefühl - dimme das Licht, setz Kopfhörer auf und lass die Atmosphäre den Stress abbauen. Passe es an, indem du die Musik pausierst und eigene Tracks einlegst. Casual-Entdecker, die geduldiges Erkunden und Fotografieförderungen genießen, erleben hier den größten Lohn.
Wakamarina Valley, New Zealand is a short exploration/photography experience set near Queen Charlotte Sound on New Zealand's South Island. Use the game's camera to observe and interact with the world around you while exploring and completing photo-related objectives. The game has in important focus on immersion and not holding your hand, your attentiveness and eagerness to explore will be rewarded with access to hidden areas and new features. The game also includes an immersive curated soundtrack, This is definitley one for turning down the lights and wearing headphones.
This project started out as a showcase of my work in environment design, I wanted to create a realistic, densely forested scene using photoscanned 3d assets that could run smoothly in real-time. The environment was created in Unreal Engine 4 with heavy reference to photos taken at the location, You'll encounter rocky riverbeds, dense forest paths, vast farmland and distant hills, a lot of which resemble the appearance of the real valley in NZ. As I spent more time on this I began to build on some camera mechanics I thought added a unique/personal level of interactivity to the experience. I hope the atmosphere and ambience created by the environment will keep you coming back when you're stressed.
Some Extra Reccomendations:
- Personalise the soundtrack! Feel free to pause the in-game music and play your own in the background.
- The VR version is a great way to be immersed in the world but I'd still recommend the desktop version as the best way to experience the game.
- Please try to avoid looking for online guides if you're feeling impatient. Often what you're looking for will only take a few extra minutes to discover.
Thanks so much for your support! I'll be in the discussions section as much as possible to listen to feedback and talk about potential new features.
