Foxen Island

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that sadly the developer, Richard Myles, of this game passed away recently after suffering a Heart Attack. Foxen Island was a passion project for him and he has invested thousands of hours into it's development over many years. I know he'd made several improvements and updates to this game since it's last update on steam but sadly now these will not see the light of day. Richard was an incredibly talented, kind and caring man and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

You're stuck in a small valley. The only gameplay is a scavenger hunt for a few items and locations. Camera and movement controls feel slow and wobbly. Controller support only half-works, which I imagine is just boilerplate Unity functionality. Haven't even played for an hour, but I encountered two game-breaking bugs: one made the fox get stuck in a cutscene and endlessly walk into a rock, the other made the screen fade to black forever. The achievement for collecting journal pages is broken. The current map represents the season of summer. More maps were supposedly meant to be added, but that never happened. Anything good to say about the game? Well, it has kind of an interesting "photo mode" where you can take a screenshot and then doctor it up by changing the shader and adjusting th…

Very relaxing experience, I really enjoyed the casual but stylish atmosphere. The sound effects were really well done and all felt appropriate, the graphics are super charming - although my PC is very low-end, so I wasn't able to experience them in their full glory. I also loved the various collectibles and secret areas, I sorely miss games with a lot of secrets to find like the old collect-athon era. I just about found everything (I think), but I'll definitely be coming back when the updates release! There was lots to explore, several hidden areas, etc., so I felt very compelled to explore. The cutscenes were really well done, polished, and they felt like a great reward for exploring different areas. I'd like to see a few more secrets be found moreso in center areas of the map, rather than the majority being just scattered near the edges of the map. Mainly to balance things out and give players reason to experience the entire map evenly, so they don't get to miss out on all the fantastic work you've put in everywhere. The game is coming along really well, and I look forward to seeing more of it. Great work!

I played this game for around an hour and there are several things I really like about it. 1. It's gorgeous - the graphic design is stunning and the day/night cycle only makes it better 2. Controls worked great for me. It was easy to navigate the world and explore 3. I loved the surprises and the exlporing, it feels very natural for a Fox. 4. I played Early Access and the story that is starting is engaging and I want to know more. From what I have played, this is very relaxing and lovely. Go be a little Foxy! Run around and explore!

This is another game where I wish steam had something more than a yes or no rating. It's kind of slow pace as far as finding things though that is not a bad thing over all. Is cute and has a bit to explore though the second section isn't out yet as far as I can tell. Also if you like this game you may also enjoy Chinbu's Adventure. Biggest problem this game has is control. Camera follows fox but fox does not follow camera so turning is a bit jarring. Also the drift when stopping can take some getting use to. Also there is no look up or down which can make it hard to get a good perspective. Even when using the controller turning was very touchy and trying to back up with keyboard or controller really doesn't work. Yes I do know this is early access so I am hoping that these things will improve. If it does then I will be editing my comments to reflect this.

I couldn't play this for very long. I've been watching the development on twitter and was really excited to experience it for myself. It's pretty, and has great potential, but the camera motion is fast and jerky, and often acts as if it has a mind of its own (for example, it snaps 90 degrees if you fall for a long distance). It's disorienting and set off my motion sickness, something that's EXTREMELY rare even with VR games If you have any similar sensitivities, definitely be careful going into this in its current state
