This is really something, it's very surreal looking at an entire gallery of some random internet celebrity that came to mind at the podium. Great work!
I really like this! The first search term I put in was "Monet" and it really felt like visiting an art gallery. I feel a little less cooped up indoors already.
Later, the game showed its silly side, with clipping geometry and bizarre topics (I'm still not sure how it got onto "Minecraft"). It's very clever, well done.
Game seems to softlock when I interact with the podium at the beginning (where you type what you would like to see). I am unable to type anything and I get the windows loading circle for my cursor.
Really really cool concept though, looking forward to trying it out if I can get it to work.
Hm I've just noticed that myself. It's a pretty strange bug. It doesn't actually softlock, you have to click on the text box first. The loading icon seems to appear when ever you interact with something, be it the request pedestal, any image or info pedestal.
Got the same problem under Linux: I click "interact" on the podium, and I do not know what to do. From your answer I have learned that I had to click the text box (which is tricky since I do not see the mouse cursor). Nice work!
This game is amazing! Turns out, this makes for a good game to stream with Twitter artist friends, we had a riot last night.
Do you have any plans to update the game? Not necessarily just for bug fixes, but for new features (i.e. no random changes, volume control, silence when playing videos, even images from a folder, that kinda stuff)?
Ok now that i've had some time with it: great experience, less buggy than I expected, given the circumstances. I like how it transitions from one theme to another randomly.
I feel that the bamboo plants help the gallery feel more like a welcoming space. Without them, it would be almost creepy. I think it's a nice detail.
The floor bug seems to be a precision issue that occurs when you walk out too far. It's also something that used to happen in old Unity versions so maybe it's back?
This is so weird and awesome! I got absorbed into this and trying tons of different searches just to see what would appear. There's a few bugs (clipping rooms/geometry maybe being the most notable), and it seems like it deviates fairly quickly from the original search and starts branching out into other seemingly random searches after walking around for a bit. Such a cool idea for an interactive experience!
Just a thought: A neat feature would be the ability to load images etc into a folder that the program sources, instead of a random search. I think people could make some novel experiences with that tech!
Some one has brought up the idea of doing the same thing but instead of Google Images it's your own harddrive, which is super interesting to me as well!

When I try searching something none of the exhibition topics load and all the pictures are just wood textures
nevermind it worked but only after I put it in compatibility mode for windows 8.
Does anyone know what this 3D rendering technique is known as - I'm in love with the 3D art style being used here!
Looks like early vexel rendering. You would like the early Delta Force games.
I have played 20 minutes and this is in the running for my GOTY. Incredible idea, well executed.
This is a mesmerizing experience. It's awesome and surprising ! Great job !
This is such a great little idea. Needs a gift shop though, with procedurally generated items. All the best museums have gift shops.

Gonna look into it, thanks for letting me know!

This is super cool, but sadly I wasn't able to try it! the game just crashes upon startup for some reason, any tips on how I could get it to work?
Hello! Is it okay if I ask whether you are working on fixing the sound issues in the Silent House or not?
my favourite part of the gallery was when i fell straight through the floor, very post modern

I like this, it is pretty good. I did not find very much glitchs for a game like this. Allthough the walk speed is too slow if you ask me.
Oh that's not good... What kind of errors is it giving you?

Great stuff. Fell through the floor once, though.
Thanks!

Downloading this before Google takes it down :p
We Called Your Mom.
Very swish.
This is amazing! Thank yoooou!

I would actually also love to see this feature to choose a folder on the HDD to get random pictures from.
