Photography games are rad. I hope you make some cool stuff with this mechanic, seems like you've got it working pretty well! Have you played Umarangi Generation?

Developer

Thank you for trying it, I'm glad you liked it! I do want to make a cool world to photograph so I'll be working on it for sure. I've never tried that game but I'll look it up, only camera games I've played are Deadrising and Life is Strange.

Its great, I loved taking Pictures!

Obviously the world is terrible, its just placeholder blobs after all. having the photo stuck on your Screen until you press T again also is pretty odd. It could maybe use some interaction in the World with the pictures, but I don't really know what, and it also doesn't necessarily need this.

If this had some cheap story attached to it, that you're out in the wilds just to take some nice pictures or something, a beautiful world full of hidden secrets and small dioramha kind of Things that you could take Pictures of, maybe a small cabin where you can rest once it gets dark and look at your taken Pictures for the Day in dim candlelight or something. I'd easily spent a few hours in this looking for nice places to capture.

Is orthello dead or why didn't you submit that to DD and a new Project instead?

*Edit: Also you can jump out of your Map, and theres a short hitch before picking up the Camera.

Thanks for playing! Yes the world is just a placeholder I slapped together to have something to go with the camera I was coding. I am for sure gonna improve how the camera and photos work. I want the game to be one where you need to take pictures of certain objects for a quest/to move the story forward. I was thinking of maybe a post apocalyptic world where you take pictures of things from before the war/nukes. I want maybe a museum to display these photos or something, I also need a photo journal. Orthello didn't die! I just have taken a small break and wanted to work on something new for a bit, Orthello will return. And yeah I know lol I left it in there so you could take pictures from above. Also what is a hitch?

A small frame lag right when approaching the Camera Don't know what you're doing there except removing that wall maybe and/or enabling the camera pickup prompt, but it lags out for a tiny bit.

Developer

oh your right I never noticed. I'm just enabling the camera pickup with a trigger. I'll have to figure out how to fix it!
