Oh .. I never thought of that till now. Experiencing a stormy night, with thunderclaps on this island, with all its surreal beauty. Now that’s going to be capital. I hope that kind of weather is present in the game.

You all look like you’re putting everything into this, the attention to detail is really shining through in the screenshots, and I’m sure it’s even more apparent when you play the build. I can’t stress how much I love that. Game worlds where you can tell the designers paid a ton of attention to the environment, where you are rewarded simply by looking around you, they feel SO much richer than other games where surroundings are purely a vehicle for some standard gameplay.

So while I say I’m impatiently waiting, I’m pretty damn confident any extra time you make me wait is gonna be worth it. Thanks for the updates guys!

Yup it’s working great now, thanks!

Should be working fine now!

That’s not a very long list, which just goes to show how much I’m looking forward to this.

the title is cut off on the left side for me, too, otherwise I like the design

Ah, glad to hear it! Spent all day fighting with WordPress to get something better. Should improve considerably tomorrow.

Might one suggest using an 8-direction 1px text-shadow to outline the title and site-description text in a slightly darker color? #aaa gives it a nice contrast to #fff without being too overwhelming, and makes the text stand out a lot better against the colorful island background. And, maybe up the font size on the site-description text to 1.6rem or 1.8rem?

Or, if you’re going for that lost-in-the-clouds feeling, I guess that’s cool too.

Hope the game is really good and successful, whenever it comes out.

They list the studio making the game as “Mumbo Jumbo”. Thats how you know its legit! Unless they are talking about the movie called “Witness” which stars Harrison Ford. Im sure they can send that to you by year end on VHS.

Hmm…no, it isn’t.

once more: keep up the good work and take your time for completing the game to your wishes.

I recently got Fract:OSC on sale at GOG, and it is a great exploration game. Don’t let the music stuff scare you; you don’t need music knowledge to solve the puzzles or enjoy the music and exploration. It captures the feeling of being in an alien (meaning different) environment extremely well and tricks you into successfully composing music.

Also if you’re cool with 2D, Toki Tori 2+ is a must play. Very satisfying exploration and puzzles.

The Sea Will Claim Everything is a serious exploration game if there ever was one, it’s awesome, check it out if you haven’t already

On an unrelated topic I have a question if you have time to answer. I’m currently working on my bachelors degree in Recording Arts at Full Sail University with the hopes to someday become an Audio Mixing Engineer that works on video game audio. Any suggestions on the best way to get started in that area?

We died and went to heaven when leisure suit Larry came along.

We stayed there with the Myst series and totally lost reality with Uru.

Well, it has been entirely too long with all of these FPS and most of the mmorpg worlds.

There are millions of us out here with disposable funds awaiting for the next popular format in gaming. We assume and hope it is with the Witness.

Just the thought of a serious exploration game is creating a good deal of happiness in the world.

My next rap lyric: I check The Witness blog for updates like my name was Will Smith

HA! Same here! So excited for the game! Just know that we bought game systems just to play your game, we are such big fans!

Will folks get another glimpse at The Witness at The PlayStation Experience show in December? I won’t be there, but will be reading about coverage and may catch a livestream (if there are any).

Patiently waiting,
Chris

Heck, it’s the sole reason I bought a PS4 almost a year ago!

Same here :)

Anyhow, thanks for the wallpaper post and congrats on all progress your team is no doubt hammering down.

A good computer with controller will work for me, but if I were to buy a PS4, yeah same here.

Yep – me too.
