Enjoy nature. Take some pictures.


I was far to ambitious with this. The original goal would have seen you explore a national park with lakes, caves,
huts, and more, while you scout the country side for different mushrooms. The year is 1990, and you're sent
by your employer to take a good picture of any mushroom you can find. Designs for 25 different mushrooms were made,
but only 4 of them exist in the game today. Oh well.

Controls


- WASD to move around
- Right mouse to select objects and take pictures
- E to bring out your camera
- E or right click to put your camera back again

Versions


The Windows and Linux versions should run straight out of the box. I am unable to test the MacOS build.

Web builds are still very experimental in Godot, even more so when using third party extensions (like a Terrain system (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °) ). I tried a few different approaches, but nothing worked so far, and I'm too worn out to keep digging at this for now.

I can see the roots of this but I struggled with loud audio and when I went to open a menu with escape it closed the game on me. I wanted a checklist of the mushrooms/plants to take photos of.

Love the vibe. So great and unique to see a leisurely collector in a hurry game jam lol!
