I can see the potential of this game being a relaxing exploration game, with some twists like firewatch.

Would have loved if the car headlights showed more of the road ahead, or if the car moved a little bit faster.

Maybe the car could have different speeds, so the player could slow down next to the camps/water and take a look. Then they can speed up on other sections.

If you keep working on the game, the environment could get some animals and birds, where the player can look at, maybe present more obstacles on the drive.

Fishing in the water would be relaxing with the music.

The relaxing music is a great choice, and maybe there could be different other ambient woods sounds: Animals, birds, frogs? Wait frogs don’t live in the woods.

Kudos on the car sound.

I liked watching the game being made, 10/10 music choices and a chill atmosphere. Would watch it being made again.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think I will make a few changes to the game once the Jam is completely over.  I'll look into making the car movement feel better, fix the lighting, add some additional audio, make the game look a little nicer, and fix the major bugs.  Thanks watching the development and for playing!

Really peaceful!  I some how managed to flip my truck over and ended up in the lake, but the music kept me calm. Great game!

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Sadly this game wasn't finished (Whatever that means in a game jam :D ) but overall great feeling and awesome style!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice low-poly modeling! the game pace is a little bit slow and could be more enjoyable if the car has some forward lamp(or something like that) to player can see 2-3 meters ahead.

Thanks!  I agree that the lighting needs to be adjusted and I probably could have increased the speed of the truck.

Hey hey, I had a very calming time on the night time roads, i made it to lux lake and the view was breathtaking. It wouldve been nice to have some obstacles like a broken bridge or a log on the road to make me find a way around but i really enjoyed it! Thanks for submitting in the jam!!

Thanks! I agree that the game could have used some obstacles to make it more interesting.

I like the atmosphere and the low poly design. It's unfortunate that the camps are broken, I wanted to discover the lake and be able to recharge the battery of the car :(

Developer

Thanks!  Yeah, it was a broken prefab in Unity, an easy fix but I didn't catch it until it was too late.

Love the low poly style and the idea of the game also very atmospherical music.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Pretty chill game, I like the atmosphere :D Would have been nice if the headlights gave off a bit more light though

Developer

Thanks! Yeah the lights do need to be brighter.

I loved the atmosphere in the game , and the art style was really cute, what was the plan for the journal or the campsite ?

Thanks! I made a few last minute changes that broke the save system.  When you camp it saves the game, recharges some of your battery, and will start a new day that resets the 'hours until sunup'. When you start a new day you get a journal entry explaining what happened the day prior.

This is so cute!!

Thank you!! I thought I budgeted enough time for the art but I didn't LOL I wish I had more time to make it better.

Developer

Thanks! You may make it to the lake but nothing will happen :( I broke everything last minute LOL
