The game "A Walk in the Woods" was released a year ago. We've decided to celebrate this with the release of a major update that brings features to the game that our community has lacked the most.

What's new?
1. We have updated the version of the game engine. This has resulted in stability and performance improvements.
2. We've improved the lighting in the game. Now you can enjoy more realistic shadows and volumetrics effects.
3. We have rewritten input system from scratch. Using different input devices at the same time has become more smooth.
4. We've added in-game settings

• Anti-aliasing options (No Anti-aliasing, FXAA, SMAA, TAA)
  
• Customizable Walking speed
  
• Choice between low and hight resolution of textures
  
• Choice between simple and advance lighting
  
• Support of Keyboard & Mouse

5. Support of non-VR mode.

Winter has come to the Northern Hemisphere. Days have turned gray and short and an already difficult time is further clouded by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We, at Brightdawn Entertainment, decided to somehow help people get through this difficult time, Starting December 1, the VR game “A Walk in the Woods” becomes free for everyone!

"A Walk in the Woods" was released on April 21, 2020. The product was originally suppose to be a VR arcade game, but the pandemic made some changes to our plans and we had to remake our realistic VR experience into a relaxation game, which became available to a wide audience for the price of a cup of coffee.

The game was fairly successful and collected 70% of positive reviews on Steam. We consider this to be a breakthrough considering the fact that the game lacks gameplay. Yes exactly! This game is about relaxation and exploration. In this game the player is invited to walk through the lost terrain and find all the Points of Interests, enjoy nature and just take a break from everyday worries in a high-quality virtual world.

At the time of quarantine, this is exactly what many people need! Many are forced to be isolated in their apartments amidst the gray city landscape. But sometimes you really want to find yourself in silence, enjoy the murmur of a stream, the singing of birds and summer sun. Alas, we cannot provide the feeling of warmth of the sun, but we can make you believe in the beauty of virtual nature. Attention to detail and sophistication of the plant world is a key feature of “A Walk in the Woods”.
We express our gratitude to all those who purchased the game and wrote a review on Steam. It really means a lot to us. We will take all the experience gained during the development of this product into account when developing our next projects.

Stay healthy and take care of yourself!
Best regards,
Brightdown Entertainment.
