Description
Update 08.08.2020: added an acient relic from the past, from a time long before the castle was build ^^

Update 30.07.2020: added birds and my beloved SS Suzanne as a ghost ship on the bottom of the ocean, like in my wallpaper "Microplanet" she had to hit the ocean ground again to enhance the scene but there will come a time and a wallpaper where she will sail the oceans ;-), also I_ fixed some missing trees around the island castle

Update 2 28.07.2020: thanks to fug4life's asset the water now has a refraction effect, I edited the effect a bit so it fits the scene better and added a brightness slider to it in case you like the refraction more dark or bright

Update 28.07.2020: added some clouds over the hills and a fish swarm, the fish are particles instead of an image sequence to keep the texture memory low

Update 25.07.2020: added some subtle, swaying trees on the island with the castle, to turn it off check the "Animated Trees" setting

I´m going to add some stuff to this precious wallpaper over the next few weeks. If you don´t like it you can always disable it in the wallpaper settings. Enjoy. ^^

There shouldn't be any problem running this wallpaper with this card. Sorry to hear that. :grexus:

Most of the time a black screen is caused by faulty gfx card drivers. A clean reinstall might help here. You could also check out the Wallpaper Engine FAQ about such behaviour. It is aimed at video wallpapers but maybe some info there might help solving your problem too.

I'm using GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix 8GB, disabling everything in wallpaper's settings havent helped

Blackscreen? Mmmh...I don't know exactly. I did not get any other comments from user with that kind of a problem. Maybe the newly added stuff is the problem. May I ask what kind of GPU you are using?

It might help if you disable the new animations in the setting for the wallpaper.

Any idea why your wallpaper only appears as blackscreen for me? Every other wallpaper works cool, ty

Right now the ghost captain is part of an image sequence so he can move around the ship in a circle and emit some light to the ships trunk when moving past it. I can import the captain as a spritsheet and use it as a particle system that can react to the mouse pointer. Interesting idea which I like,,,I'm gonna try that out and see what is happening.

Didn´t had the time to check out patreon or other stuff but a humble bundle gift code seems also nice. :cozybethesda:

btw: I added some ancient relic from the past to the scene ^^

Just a thought? is there any way to make the ghost captain chase the mouse cursor? then is no movement go back to "Guarding" the ship? Also thought of another way to compensate. a Humble bundle gift code??

Glad you like it. There are two more animations in the making and after that I would say this rework is finished. Don't want to overdo things otherwise people with low end hardware may struggle to run the wallpaper at all.

Thanks again for the patreon offer. I'm gonna check out that Patreon stuff and see how that is working. :cozybethesda:

Love the new additions. Wish you had patreon or something. Or that steam would just let me pay in your regions currency. That would work too.

Maybe you already recognized it but I added some stuff to the wallpaper. You can read about the details in the description above.

No worries, man. Appreciate the effort. Didn´t know that this is a problem with Steam. :grexus: :cozybrawlhalla1:

The good news is that in a first step I replaced the forest on the island with the castle with a new one. I fired up Blender, let some trees grow an thanks to heavy shape key animations we got a new forest. Now seeing the trees sway in the wind looks cozy, i like it. Have to get some smaller glitches right and then i will upload the first update..

Thanks for listening and for the ideas. More to come..
