About this game

EXPLORE A BEAUTIFUL, HAND-CRAFTED OPEN WORLD RPG FANTASY WILDERNESS
Run, swim and fly through glistening waterfalls and rivers, overgrown forests, sky-high mountains and ancient dungeons. Shape change into powerful dragons, soaring eagles, quick-footed deer and more. Download BrightRidge today.
Minimum requirements are about a 4-core 2ghz CPU, and at least 2gb of RAM.

I am truly grateful to the Android community for helping my unknown game grow. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. I am a solo indie developer working on BrightRidge and it is a game from my heart. I enjoyed creating this world and I hope you enjoy exploring it:)

EXPLORE AND STORY MODES
Ready for adventure? The Ballad of BrightRidge and Love & Tin are two magical adventures in Story Mode. Or choose Explore mode and experience BrightRidge without quests or enemies. Can you find the ancient whale that swims the oceans? Or the hidden ruins that dot the land?

SHAPE CHANGE POWERS
Unlock the power to change into several species and explore BrightRidge from a new perspective. Soar through the sky as a golden eagle or a winged dragon. Run through the forests and a wily fox or dashing deer. Barge through the land as a towering Tree Ent and flutter peacefully among the flowers as a delicate butterfly (a fan favourite!).

PHOTO MODE
Become a nature photographer and take and save beautiful pictures of this gorgeous and vast landscape. Will you photograph an elusive deer drinking by the river? Or perhaps capture a golden sunset amid ancient ruins? Need help hunting the animals down? Use your Spirit View to magically track animals, each with their own habitat and behavior.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORLD
Extensive options let you customize almost anything at anytime. Change time of day, turn on Watercolor mode and experience a living painting, add effects and filters and more. On newer devices you can turn up the detail for an even more beautiful and immersive experience.

LEGENDS AND LORE
Legend Spots dot the land waiting to be discovered. Each one tells a bit about the people, places and history of BrightRidge. Or visit the cozy halls of BrightRidge Inn, sit by the fireplace, dance with the guests, or listen to their stories.

DYNAMIC WEATHER AND DAY/NIGHT CYCLE
It’s all here. Rainstorms, lightning and thunder, light breezes and gusting wind, and quiet snowfalls. Or use the options to change the weather on the fly.

RELAX AND EXPLORE
There’s no rush. Feeling panic, anxiety or stress? Choose Explore Mode, breathe, and explore the wild rivers, valleys and waterfalls of BrightRidge at your own pace.

...AND A PERSONAL THANK YOU
A big thank you to Nullzone, Liam, Curtis, DK_1287 and Jack for helping me test and supporting BrightRidge. A project of this size is a challenge to create on my own, and your support and encouragement have helped me through difficult times.

NOTE: If you experience blue graphics issues, this can often be fixed in the game by choosing OPTIONS > PLAYGROUND > RESOLUTION > FORWARD RENDER. You can also change things like resolution, quality, and more in the Options screens.

If the game closes after the logo, this can usually be fixed by restarting your device.

Updated. Played with a Snapdragon 210 2gb phone, had to adjust the settings really low, but I got a "playable" (5-10fps) frame rate, the 1st chapter was interesting. Chapter 2 started off really cool, could have used more dialogue between the two. But the end to part 1 of chapter 2, that was some Shakespeareian nonsense. I still recommend this game, very pretty, but not happy with that sort of ending. Will try again to see if I got the bad end. A Snapdragon 435 or better would be ideal for this.

Thanks for playing and i hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Small fact: the second story was actually the first i created, but i put Love and Tin first because i liked the relationship with the Bot.

This just doesnt seem to live up to expectations. I guess the graphics are pretty good, but I've seen just as good on older devices that could actually play at full resolution. (Is this really what a console looks like? Glad I never bought one.) Gameplay is... meh - "open world" shouldn't mean "nothing ro do". The controls feel really loose and sloppy. The story is flat out BORING. When the best point of a game is "only cost me $1", somwthing has gone awry.

Thanks for the feedback Rob - it helps me build a better game. Maybe the sequel, Vandgels, will have more you like:)

Overall, this game is very great. It has some of the best graphics I've seen on mobile, nice storylines, good gameplay, and it clearly has a lot of effort put into it. There are a few bugs (one of which is where the camera doesn't seem to like cutscenes with 1st person mode on), and it is strange that it requires the storage permissions (under the info tab) when I don't remember the game asking to use these permissions. Anyways, this is overall a 9.5/10 game, definitely worth full price.
