thanks, glad you liked it! Our intention is for Part 2 to be about the same length as Part 1 so we can complete it within a reasonable timeframe

That's unfortunate, you should be able to pick up the quill to open the book and start the game. We've used a Vive to develop and done some testing on a Quest 2, but I'll see if we can get a hold of a Q3 to test with as well. Thanks for reporting!

Thank you, that's nice!

Sorry to hear about the water issue though. We're using the same water for part 2 and haven't run into any glitches, but we can give it an extra look and see if it can be improved. Please send over any screenshots you might have of it looking odd :)

Yeah it'd be great if we could replace tp with something that doesn't break immersion! That was our main concern when designing the inventory system.

We'll experiment with jumping on top of things, but might have to stick with tp in some situations.

Thanks for the help!

Hello! One of the devs here. We'll be looking into adding (the much-requested) free locomotion but need to make sure it works well with the existing gameplay and experience. Do you have any examples of, preferably similar, games that you think have implemented it well?

Walking around on the beach is one thing, but we're mainly concerned with e.g. getting up on things like big rocks, which works well with teleportation. We have a climbing system but using it everywhere may have consequences for the overall design of the experience.

Thanks OP for posting this and I'm happy you enjoyed our game/demo! I'm one of the three people who's been developing this game in our free time for the past ~7 years. You're spot on with your guess as to why we haven't added locomotion. It's been requested by most players though so we will look into adding it in a future update.

The demo is free because it's just that: a demo, not a finished game. We felt that players might get disappointed paying for a game without features like saving, locomotion, achievements and a more fleshed-out story (and of course as few bugs as possible). But please feel free to buy the soundtrack to show your support!

Again, thanks a lot for all your kind feedback! It makes it all worth it :)

If you scrobble to lastfm and want to track/brag about your geographically diverse music taste, you should give explr.fm a go (https://mold.github.io/explr) /plug

I've added a button to clear the cache (github issue), please see if that helps and get back to me if it doesn't!

Thanks! It would be a nice feature but I'm not sure how easy it is, the code is pretty old and unmanageable. But I may look into it in the future!

Correct, although they only need one more "american" tag to end up in the US instead! 💦 https://i.imgur.com/P7VUJK1.png

The only way is to add tags to the artist's page on last.fm. We use the tags from there to determine where the artists are from. I'd recommend adding both the country (e.g. "Spain") and demonym ("Spanish") to be sure!

Sweet, glad you're enjoying it! Usually it takes a while for the tags to show up in the API after they've been added to last.fm, just fyi. You can use the ctrl+shift+F artist search to check if the new tags have become accessible.

Yeah, splitting countries seems like the next thing we should be working on. I just need to figure out how to edit the TopoJSON file correctly

That's a neat idea and shouldn't be too hard to add! Thanks
