@andyman404: Thank you! Unfortunately have no VR gear to test yours but I really like the look of it. 💜 This campfire game was actually the first time I thought it might be fun to work with VR myself but of course I couldn't so. 😢

Atmospheric and relaxing. Might be cool if woodland animals came to visit.

Thank you three! 🧡 That was actually the initial plan, @selftitled, but no time in the end. 😢

Hiya Ava ^^ Long time no see!

Nice graphics and the sound helps it really come alive ^^ I can imagine people who try this spend more time just waiting for nothing than they would like to admit (I know I did). I agree with previous posts about woodland animals, would be amazing with a squirrel come by or something? Also, perhaps the call of an owl in the far distance instead of cawing would make it even more cozy?

And I then there is the title which is a bit confusing... Is it a actually a "bål" (bonfire)? Looks more like a "brasa" (campfire) to me :P (But that is just me being picky) ^^

Nice looking fire, great mood. Really enjoyed the style, great work on the wood burning shader especially. The way you stylized the trees was also really nice.

Just like you wrote on our game: Looks like we started out with similar ideas. But then you something we never managed: Actually flinging logs and being able to look around in the forest!

I'm really appreciate the cozy particle effects. Gives a very warm, yet non-aggressive, feeling of fire. The pale lighting of the trees is also spot on, giving a late summer sort of presence. The aforementioned two contrast each other well.

If I'm forced to complain about anything, then I'd say the fire burns out a bit to quickly.

The graphics are nice. It's hard to control the mouse, too sensitive for me. Chill game though :thumbsup: .

Nice art style. Very immersive sound design.

This unexpectedly quite nice. Just a little place to relax. The camera smoothing is a little dizzying, and I wish the fire didn't go out so fast.

But thanks for giving us something to just relax to! :smile:

Very chilled atmospheric game - would have loved if there was more I could have seen or explored!

This is really nice! I hadn't thought of such a simple, relaxing take on the theme, but the way you executed it was perfect! Wonderful job!
