Great job! I need to fine tune the lighting effects, i didn't see a gamma option?
I haven't tried fast-travel yet, but combining that with photo snaps we can take is an awesome idea.
I would like to suggest a few things, an option to crouch so we can view something lower or view something underneath.
Would like to see things like insects, leaves falling and birds flying about, landing etc, and the sfx for that. Although the sfx of birds might of been present, i am hard of hearing, so didn't notice.
I half hoped we could walk down to the village and explore it. But that would be a lot of work, but it would be something i would love to explore over the course of an hour or two.
I could imagine some of these as standalone games if they could be expanded on in map size in the future. Maybe via community poll of what they would like to see first and willing to buy.
I'd pay $25-30 for a game i could easily spend hours exploring if the map is large enough to do that. The Australian one or was it the NZ one had part of the map with a river and you could wade a little in. I could imagine having a canoe in the game where the player could paddle down the river and stop where they like and explore. A game where you could literally get lost in the forest would be awesome.
Also you could add a 'deploy campfire' mechanic, so long as it is flat, it can be placed. And player could sit next to (lower POV). Just use the tried and true method of crafting games. Green transparent outline of object for you can place and red for you cannot. And add a sitting posture. Which moves camera to lower level.
And if there was a setting to choose rate of daylight, where some insects are more noticeable at the close of the day. The player could also set a starting time of their walk if they want to change the scene, longer shadows etc giving it a new feel.
Going back to the burning campfire, watching the sun go down and then seeing the bright campfire and sparks of the flame etc and hearing the night life would be very immersive and give the map another way to experience it. And on that note, why not have a torch for at night, making a walk through the environment at night another interesting experience again. There could even be a mode where you start at night with a torch and are randomly placed on the map and you have to make it back to the start.
Perhaps in the future you could team up with someone who can do really good animal animations and we can see wild life.
Anyway not to ramble, this Japanese one is your best yet!
