Bivouac

Description


"An hour's walk to the nearest town to mail a letter, can you believe it? Don't worry, that won't stop you hearing from me. I've set up camp already and the pine smells delish! Now I get a chance to explore so I can give you a guided tour~
You'll get 3 more letters from me before you head out. One a week, okay? Okay!

~Nessa ♥"


Three weeks pass.
Only one other letter was ever sent.
You leave home to join your sister on your annual camping trip.






Bivouac is a low-poly mystery puzzle adventure made in two weeks for #VM7 contest. The idea was to create a testing ground for new scripting mechanics I have been tinkering with.

The scope of the project had to be scaled back significantly due to the time constraints, so expect the length of the map to be smaller than other entries.

Note for those prone to VR lag sickness:
Actual play tests weren't done until the last three days and the map is not optimized, meaning players might experience significant lag in the outdoor area (I'd like to hear individual experiences with this).

(This map has custom hints at the beginning but will respect players who have the instructor disabled.)

Thank you. This uses an old embedded version of the library so it's incompatible. I'll add a warning.

It seems that alyxlib causes the backpack to break; not a big problem by any means because I can just disable it but I thought I’d let you know

Thank you for the kind words! I had an update in the works for this but with so many other projects going on it's hard to find time.

This has got to be one of the most memorable and impressive maps I've played for this game, I love everything about it. 10/10 with an imaginary 0.5 point deduction because I am bad at puzzles

:steamthumbsdown:

Some kind of cartoon... I don't even know what to say, except you take one of the best games ever made and reuse it to make a cartoon? I just don't understand this.

I dropped the batteries in the water and when I got them out, I went into the water...and it was like a real dive in water... This is the genius map. After watching the walkthrough, it was still very interesting to play it later. :steamthumbsup:
