It works with Xbox controller on windows, and should work on mac as well. I haven't added support to other controllers for now, because I really wanted to release this. I'll make a new build if I learn and integrate an asset for that. For now you can play with mouse and keyboard or change the input mapping in the config screen.

yea it looks pretty, except the FOV is so low it made me nauseous. right now i feel like im gonna puke i think i need to go for a walk and rest my eyes i only played for like 5 minutes but yea. is the fov set to like 70 or something? i think it should be at least 90

It's a great concept for a chill simulator, but there were a few things that kind of made the experience stale:

- The only things you can see out on the ocean (aside from the seagulls and city) seem to be on a 1-day only cycle; after the first day, nothing new comes out on the horizon

- There's not enough things to interact with; yes, I know that this is more akin to a walking simulator where you look around a bit, but just having some dialogue go with the books and paintings would make it that much more of an enjoyable time-waste

I will give it the credit that it definitely is a nice little getaway, but with it being void of much life, it falls flat once you cross the first day

My playthrough of the game:

I love watching sunsets with my very real and not at all imaginary girl friend. It's the best thing. We even mash face and hold hands, for real, I swear. You don't know her though, she goes to a different forum.

A beautiful experience; especially the transition from day to night. But....the light of that tower is a bit too much bright. I would suggest (if you are interested) you to make a same experience but with aurora borealis because to be honest, there isn't much beauty in an ocean if we look from above.

Somethings wrong with the game... I played, and the ocean was light blue, but the rest was black, so I couldn't make my way through the game. Either its something wrong with the game, or its cuz I got an old computer, but plz try to fix/check it.

Background: Bright light therapy is the recommended treatment for winter seasonal affective disorder (SAD). However, the studies with the best placebo controls have not been able to demonstrate that light treatment has a benefit beyond its placebo effect.

Methods: Ninety-six patients with SAD completed the study. Patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments for 4 weeks, each 1.5 hours per day: morning light (average start time about 6 AM), evening light (average start about 9 PM), or morning placebo (average start about 6 AM). The bright light (approximately 6000 lux) was produced by light boxes, and the placebos were sham negative-ion generators. Depression ratings using the Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, SAD version (SIGH-SAD) were performed weekly.

Results: There were no differences among the 3 groups in expectation ratings or mean depression scores after 4 weeks of treatment. However, strict response criteria revealed statistically significant differences; after 3 weeks of treatment morning light produced more of the complete or almost complete remissions than placebo. By 1 criterion (24-item SIGH-SAD score

Conclusions: Bright light therapy had a specific antidepressant effect beyond its placebo effect, but it took at least 3 weeks for a significant effect to develop. The benefit of light over placebo was in producing more of the full remissions.

Simple Buck LED Driver With PWM Input: High-power LEDs over 1W are now quite inexpensive. I'm sure many of you are incorporating LEDs as light sources in your projects.However I realize that the finding and configuring the power supply is still not...

CHICAGO - Daily exposure to bright white light at midday significantly decreased symptoms of depression and increased functioning in people with bipolar disorder, a recent Northwestern Medicine study found.

Previous studies found morning bright light therapy reduced symptoms of depression in patients with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD.). But patients with bipolar disorder can experience side effects such as mania or mixed symptoms from this type of depression treatment. This study implemented a novel midday light therapy intervention in an effort to provide relief for bipolar depression and avoid those side effects.

Compared to dim placebo light, study particpants assigned to bright white light between noon and 2:30 p.m. for six weeks experienced a significantly higher remission rate (minimal depression and return to normal functioning). More than 68 percent of patients who received midday bright light achieved a normal level of mood, compared to 22.2 percent of patients who received the placebo light (see graph below).

Patients also experienced minimal side effects from the therapy. No one experienced mania or hypomania, a condition that includes a period of elation, euphoria, irritability, agitation, rapid speech, racing thoughts, a lack of focus and risk-taking behaviors.

The study included 46 participants who had at least moderate depression, bipolar disorder and who were on a mood stabilizer. Patients were randomly assigned to either a 7,000 lux bright white light or a 50 lux placebo light. The light therapy patients were instructed to place the light box about one foot from their face for 15-minute sessions to start. Every week, they increased their exposure to the light therapy by 15-minute increments until they reached a dose of 60 minutes per day or experienced a significant change in their mood.

Sit and her colleagues also observed a noticeable effect of bright light therapy by four weeks, which is similar to other studies that test light therapy for non-seasonal depression and depression during pregnancy.

Light therapy has conventionally been tested using morning light at awakening because previous research has suggested that morning light helps reset circadian rhythms and can be helpful in the treatment of SAD, Sit said. However, the mechanism of response is unclear in bipolar disorder. To understand the possible effects of midday bright light on circadian rhythms in patients with depression and bipolar disorder, Sit and colleagues are planning new studies to investigate.

This brings up a question that I've often pondered. I've yet to try this experiment myself: What would happen if you painted plein air with sunglasses on? Would your color choices and mixes automatically correct so that the painting would come out "correct", since you're looking at the subject, the palette and the painting through the same lenses? (One reason I ponder this is that I've noticed that through my polarized sunglasses, there's a nice value separation - particularly in clouds- that isn't nearly as obvious without the glasses.)

I sometimes use a Best Brella, which is silver and black and really puts the painting in deep shade. Also I wear a brimmed hat. This opens my pupils so much that colors are brighter and more saturated than if I were in the sun. When I first noticed it, I thought the weather had changed!

Tom, I usually don't paint with sunglasses on, but I suppose if it's a neutral unpolarized gray filter, it should dim the colors equally. Polarized glasses selectively change the values, as you say, separating the values within the sky more and dimming the glare of wet street reflections. It's a matter of taste whether this helps your painting, but I avoid them because I'm usually trying to bring the values closer in the sky and I'm trying to push the bright values of reflections.

Linda, a lot of artists use the opaque silver and black umbrellas, but my own preference is for the white umbrellas, which give you a more reliable white light from above, instead of filling your visual field (and lighting your work) from the chance colors of ground reflections.

The opposite effect can happen when painting in reduced light; the values can become too high. The most effective strategy in all situations that I have found is to look for the lightest plane and establish it early. The important thing is to compare your paint mixture of the lightest plane to the white paint on your palette (get the mixture on your brush and hold it over the white paint); it should be a few steps below the white paint in value. You can then afterwards key all values below it.

A post on BoingBoing today about the giant fish eye that washed up last week goes into some detail on fish eye anatomy. Summary: because of the way their eye is built, it takes ten to twenty minutes for their eyes to adjust to bright or darker light:

I'm curious about this situation in which I have found myself. I am painting a subject in strong sunlight, but I have picked a stop that is in the shade for comforts sake. My pupils have to constrict to see the subject and then dilate to see the canvas over and over again. A couple of times I've had to stop painting because I have experienced a kind of "snow blindness". I imagine this situation also distorts the values and the colors as well. Is this something that's behind what's described?

I have the same problem. After awhile I can barely see the colors on my palette. It is really sad to me. Aging eyes. I do get my eyes checked yearly. It is a big problem when painting light and shadow, but what is a painting without those?
