Good game! It would be better if the camera movements were more natural.

1) Фиксированная камера отстой, и тем более с вашими возможностями ( безграничная пустыня), ничего не потеряли бы от того что камера не фиксированная, даже приобрели бы удобства
2)Арт ради арта
3)В джемах есть место для идей и геймплейных и атмосферных реализаций. Атмосферу не словил и не успел, имбо игра дико заскриптована начиная от камеры заканчивая постоянным отбором ускорения у персонажа.
4)Видно что сами не знали что хотите сделать и по этому игры нет, но есть оммаж на джорни (причем само собой отстойный)
5)Идея с иллюзиями была клевая, можно было сначала дать побегать по безграничному и после замкнуть внутри храма и там через простейшие взаимодействия и передвижение дать игроку решить пару головоломок, давая геймплейную прогрессию
6)Ввести подбор бонусов для такой задумки было бы не сложным и прикольным решением

beautiful graphics :)

It's very very impressive to see some thorough level design and such high level ambiance in a Jam game! Very impressed!!

This game looks incredible for a jam! I wish the camera wasn't so jumpy at times, but good work! Easy 5s for mood and graphics.

Wow, this game looks truly incredible. It reminded me of Journey, which must have been the main inspiration.

The graphics are outstanding, 10/10 for a 3D ludum dare game. I also liked the fixed camera angle which is hard to pull off in a game, it created a more cinematic experience (but it was a little bit glitchy at times). The music was also very atmospheric. Then level design was stellar too. I liked the minimalistic storytelling.

I wish the game was a little bit longer, but I understand that there was a very limited timeframe to make the game.

Overall, this was an A+ LD entry. a legitimately professional effort.

Great job, music was fantastic and looked beautiful. Scaled well to be able to put a lot of polish on it and it showed. Fantastic mood and vibes. Wish the camera had a little more control or some more careful framing in a couple spots to make it clear where to go but overall Really nice!

I loved this game, a shame on the theme but honestly this game is better without it. I hope you guys fully flesh out this game!!!!

Dude this was so great, I love games that let you figure out your own take on it. This was so interesting and extremely cinematic!

Thanks for letting me play this!

Here's the VOD, split into chapters so you should be able to find your section!

Beautiful graphics but my computer could only run it at 2fps sooooo...
Maybe you should have done a 2D game with the wonderful arts you made ? It would have solved the camera problem too ahah
And I loved the music by the way !

Outstanding graphics! Astonishing audiovisual experience.

Super cool and pretty game! I made a game with a similar fixed camera once and it was the main thing people complained about, but I think you used it pretty well here, as it guided me pretty efficiently through the level. Special shoutout to the composer, I liked the music a lot. Well done, everyone!

Incredible mood of the game! Graphic style and especially music are doing GREAT JOB HERE! also kudos level designer as it was for sure quite a challenge to maintain! Sadly a short one, I expected some 'change' after a cutscene yet I had fun for the time of playing, thanks! (who knows, maybe you will develop that idea in something more :japanese_goblin: )

I appriciate the camera handling, it is quite jumpy and buggy, but shows that you had thought about level design and how to present that level to player, maybe it didn't went perfect in such short time, but with updates and more tests who know what would happen!

Also when I was standing in front the place where finish cutscene starts some sand-windy sound layer was quit dramatically :laughing: (maybe some loop have not looped or different bug, didn't sound intentionally)

First LD game to lag my PC, haha! Really liked the use of a fixed camera to make expansive level design that was still extremely legible! Also adored the cryptic approach to the story, and the abrupt ending. Powerful game!

I am left wondering, what is being harvested? Am I harvested? Is harvest intended as a misdirect, leading to a twist ending? Either way, I hope to have dreams exactly like this jam. Well done!!

Lovely music and atmosphere! Like it!

Take notes everybody, this is how you get top marks in Mood lol. Great job to the team, this was visually amazing!

The only gameplay issue I had was sometimes when the camera was right behind me (or at least I thought it was), holding W to walk forward took me in an arc, slowly turning to the side and veering off course. Not a big deal at all.

Wow this is an incredibly pretty game! I especially liked the automatic camera adjustment system that would make the view look quite cinematic all the time. The game just lagged sometimes but that may well be Unreal Engine's fault as it might not play too well with my somewhat old gpu driver.

Didn't really understand so well how it was related to the theme or generally what the narrative was supposed to be about. It's fine though as I did enjoy my time a lot.

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream!
Here’s the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts youtu.be/y26fNN5FUi0?t=20315

Amazing atmosphere, congrats on an awesome entry!

What a beautiful atmospheric game - stunning graphics and perfect ambient music, an all around great mood throughout.

This was a nice experience! A very chill walk through a nice desert environment, with the occasional soul showing up to help you through. Good job!

It was very comfortable and soothing, cozy atmosphere and relaxing music. Sad final.
(Do not forget about skinning of clothes!)

Nice entry!

Love the mood of this entry!

Great game! But it killed my pc while streaming lol. Time to get a better pc! Not sure if it was supposed to just close after the last checkpoint and flying away, or if the game crashed XD

Camera changes suddenly sometimes, it is a bit strange but MAN I LOVED THE ART STYLE AND MUSICS!

What a beautiful environment and soundscape to explore. You all did a great job building the world. The sand trail was a nice detail! (one small thing I noticed: the dust particles off the player's feet didn't disappear on stone surfaces, but that's such a small detail it could have been intentional :P)

The allegory you chose added another layer of depth to the game and made it mystical. I really enjoyed that. The only thing that could use a bit more polishing is the camera smoothness sometimes. Thank you for sharing!

Very Journey esque and wonderfully polished, maybe a bit too taxing the computer for what it is the downside, but considering it's a jam game, happens. I loved the overall vibe of it a lot.In the end - it left me longing for more.

5/5 for the mood - especially the arabic and ethereal music. The environments are beautiful and remind me of another game - Journey. Obviously it inspired you. The sand shader is good enough, but it could be improved. I had fun playing. However, there is some glitch with the camera and it is really frustrating. The views which you have chosen are not the best. I would like to recommend you some free cam around the player - not this one which is too strong and rigid. Your project has some potential and I guess that you could do something great using this first release. One of my best experiences for this 52nd LudumDare session. Thank you. I wish you the best ++

Я посмотрел ваши профили в соцсетях и я понял, что вы - русские. Я очень рад познакомиться с вами. Я бы хотел охотно поздравить вас за то, что вы сделали. Какое великолепное путешествие по пустыне! Какая прекрасная атмосфера! Как я написал раньше на английском языке, мне очень понравился ваш проект - видеоигра без насилия или пролития крови, а только я ощущал поэзию и душевный покой (точно в чём этот современный мир нуждается). Вам желаю всего хорошего. Пока друзья ++
