Lushfoil Photography Sim

Lushfoil Photography Sim is an exploration game with simulation elements. It was created by an indie Australian developer Matt Newell and published by Annapurna Interactive.

Mechanics

Lushfoil Photography Sim is a first-person game. Players must explore various areas and take photos of landscapes. Searching for a perfect shot, we can use a drone for an elevated view of our surroundings, or a boat to pass through water and reach otherwise inaccessible places. There are new cameras scattered around the locations, encouraging us to explore every nook and cranny.

The game features many different environments from all across the world. We'll get to visit rugged coastlines, beautiful forest valleys, mountaintops and Icelandic wastelands. Our primary tool is a SLR camera. Available cameras offer advanced settings regarding focus, flash, exposure, contrast, white balance and cover. We can also modify local environmental conditions; depending on our photo ideas, we can change the light angle, fogginess, wind, cause rainfall or snowfall.

Technical aspects

Lushfoil Photography Sim makes great use of the Unreal Engine 5. The realistic environments are extremely detailed; the dynamic lighting and plants moving to the wind are also quite appealing.
