Cloud- WARNING LOTS OF LARGE FILESIZED PICTURES

Cloud is a *brilliant* game.

http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/game.htm

It's about a boy who is in a hospital for athsma, and can't go out of the hospital... who does visulizations of freedom, and purifying the world... umm... really hard to explain.

For you who landed a long time ago, and left the blue sky and white clouds behind.... could you really forget that feeling... of flying headlong through clouds?

You don't just fly around, you can move the clouds, make them 'holy', make them interact, and there *are* goals and levels.... but, true to the TEF spirit, I mostly enjoy just flying, exploring and making random things out of cloud! And take arty screenies.

I apologise for the size, but I really want to get the feel across... if it, say, makes you crash, I'll change... but I'd rather not.












I don't have enough time to take pictures of the 'holy' clouds, or more areas, but the game is beautiful....

oo that looks like a cool game! i might look into it!

bah i like the game, but the controls are so infuriating! it never stays zoomed out and i can never figure out how to go anywhere!

...can you be more specific in how you cant control yourself?

Moving the mouse takes you forward back left right, holding down the middle mouse buton goes into fly mode. Fly mode is when you can control your height and zoom. You zoom by scrolling the middle button and move the camera with the right button. Move clouds with the left button. Inhale clouds with Shift, exhale them with Ctrl.

Okie?

by middle mouse button you mean the scroll bar right?

i can inhale and exhale clouds, but when i zoom out, in like 3 seconds it goes right back again, and zooms in too close to see anything and i mess up. so ill zoom out again and reorient myself before it zooms in again!

I'm confused!
...could you frapp that? I can't picture it! :P

Soooo.... do you like the game?

If the problem seems to have fixed itself, I would advise really experimenting with free flying. Go explore an island, sit in the volcano.. that sort of thing.
Cloud is my escape world, I've named the islands, and it probably helps that, when I was little, I used to visulize an island and it was my escape. That island was exactly the same as the volcano island, only without the city. So it's good memories, I suppose....
