FAQ + CHEATS 🌿

[Matt]

Q: Are there plans for VR support?
A: A native PCVR version is practically ready, I'm waiting for the thumbs up from the publisher.

Q: Are there plans to add more environments as DLC?
A: It depends on the game's success, but currently no plans. Getting the game to the finish line has exhausted me a little bit, for now I'm just happy to be done 😓

Q: Will Nvidia tech such as ray-tracing or DLSS be added to the game?
A: I had used DLSS in older game builds but unreal launched a similar thing called 'temporal upscaling' which is compatible with all GPU's, works with the camera's depth of field, and performs slightly better. also decided not to include Nvidia's ray tracing implementation because it's pretty inefficient and I haven't got the performance budget for it, it becomes extra expensive will all the complicated plant geometry.

Q: Native Linux/Mac support?
A: I've decided it's a little too much to maintain these extra platforms on my own. But I've heard people have had reasonable success with compatibility software such as Proton/Wine for Linux or Crossover for Mac, I'd recommend these for now!

Q: Can the camera take a picture at higher graphical setting than the current one I am using?
A: While testing, I found that quickly switching graphics settings when pressing the shutter button would incur a huge amount of lag. For the best quality screenshots, I recommended to just play on higher graphics settings, with stronger upscaling (upscaling does not affect photos)

Q: Can I prone or shoot from floor level?
A: You can crouch and lower your angle even further by holding 'e', or you can use the drone.

Q: Can I add stationary colored lights?
A: You can add a single stationary light with the drone (F Key). I'm interested in the idea of adding multiple stationary lights but I need to figure out how it will be implemented within the game's interface⁠.

Q: Is there a freefly mode?
A: You can use the drone to fly around, it can be discovered once in each of the environments. You can also remove the boundary and signal beep in the 'extras' menu.

Q: How do I change the weather, and time?
A: There are lighting/weather presets that are available from the 'locations' menu once unlocked. there's also a 'godmode' that you can use to fine tune elements in the environment, available under 'extras'

Q: Is there a way to access environments that are locked without progressing
A:


CHEATS (newly added ✨)

Quick Disclaimer: The main reason I included the progression systems in lushfoil was to introduce the game's mechanics and features with the correct pacing and to make things easier to digest. I completley understand the need to access everything from the start, as a photographer it'll be easier to seek out the photos you want to take. But this might also make lushfoil's progression harder to approach.

Unlock all environments - " < > < > < > " while in locations menu

Unlock Drone + Extras Menu - " [ ] [ ] [ ] "

These cheats are safe to use and will not alter your save! I might also include this as an option in the game's menu, just need to figure out the best way to do so.

How would one enter these cheats on a QWERTZ Keyboard?

Figured out how to do "Unlock all environments":
< = Shift + ,
> = Shift + .

Still stuck on the Unlock Drone + Extras Menu one though.

A really useful FAQ. Thanks a lot for these explanations.

Thanks, Matt. Enjoying the game SO MUCH more now that I can view areas at my leisure. The environments are stunning.

Nvidia Ansel offers a built in upscaling screenshot option, you can upscale to either 8k or 12k, can't remember which. So you can play the game in HD 1080p, go into Ansel and set it to take 8k screenshots and it will do exactly that, It recompiles the current screen into 8k resolution, no blurriness when it finishes. But there can be a massive delay when you take the screenshot. I'm not sure what it would take but maybe look into turning that feature on for Nvidia users?

Some additional questions:

- do you plan to add analogue cameras and thus, for example, a selection of films?
- Will there be a medium format (6x6, 6x7)?

I'm trying to get it running on Linux with Proton, but neither GE-Proton nor Experimental or 9 seem to work. ProtonDB says it works really well, so I'm confused what my issue may be... Possibly because this is a dual GPU laptop... will keep trying

[HawkEye]

I tried Unlock all environments - " < > < > < > " but not work

Unlock Drone + Extras Menu - " [ ] [ ] [ ] ", is ok.

Try Proton Beta 10. It's now running flawlessly for me after not working at all before now.

I wanted to ask if you could make a fpv drone mode and recording, i know it would take a lot of effort but i feel so imprisoned when i cant do drone tricks

Steam Workshop please?
