We did make everything ourselves. We made the 3D models (rocks, city, puzzle, lever, gates, gears, etc) and imported those into the UE3 engine. Arne also set up all the shaders. (crystals glowing when you get closer, moving water etc, volume lights, textures, materials etc) I can assure you that even though we used the UE4 engine, everything you see and hear is handmade by us in 72 hours. There was no magic 'make awesome game' button involved :P"},{"author_name":"ALobker","author_uid":"31811","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 4:55pm","epoch":1398876600,"text":"This game makes me feel bad about giving 5 stars to other games that were nowhere near as good as this."},{"author_name":"Foofur","author_uid":"37074","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 8:09pm","epoch":1398888240,"text":"Egh, couldn't play it eitber, cuz XINPUT1_3.dll was missing?

You guys totally earned it. This is certainly the most beautiful and LD game I've ever played. I like the music, and I love that you added more tracks as the circle puzzle was solved.
