once again , island which do not really care for in terms of features and palette ... but when step back , was able to get this really nice shot . might be one of favourites in pure composition .

shutter stroll ~ everchanging equilibrium
Oct. 21st, 2024 06:47 pmin love with everchanging equilibrium : so far since release , kossai not miss one single day . maybe in future will have some day which truly forget , or too busy to get there in time , but at least for right now , record is unbroken .
anyway , what actually think about is ... still not fully understand ! and think that is fun . like , sometimes will revisit island hours later , and sky will be different - as if actually sync with computer clock to simulate day night cycle .
and sure , could try fiddle with date and time on computer to figure out if that work to cheat revisits or to change cycle , but ... right now ? right now kind of just happy with this as mystery , something which will figure out with time rather than cheat . :P

was not fond of this island today - strange dingy pinks , salmon stone , and green trees - but this horizon sure is something !
shutter stroll ~ stress relief islands
Oct. 10th, 2024 06:05 pmday become stressful , so kossai turn to shutter stroll . nice to spend some time just wander islands - low effort distraction , as far as player requirements go .
and , did come up with ideas for some islands to visit !
might wonder what these coordinates mean . but oh ... do not worry too much about that , please . decipher if dare :P

very pretty island here . these hilly islands can be very hard to explore , but always make for beautiful views !
shutter stroll ~ animals ?
Sep. 29th, 2024 12:51 amknow some people wish shutter stroll might have animals and creatures to wander landscapes , but almost sort of prefer as is now - without .
might be cute , yes , but to what extent ? unless also add some kind of button to pause movement - which , kind of might also take away from certain charms of game - could end up as hard to catch any picture at all , let alone good ones .
slow predictable movements force player to have presence in scene , to slow down and pay attention . animals can run in face of this , especially if was to try make unique generations there as well .
and ... there is so much mystery in these islands , so much ambiguity - do people live here ? could people live here ? what life might these places hold ?
to try and answer those questions might take away charm , for some players , not add .

this island is not quite tearjerker like september 10 was , but this is ... so special and beautiful .
not able to see very much in this picture , but also have tall monoliths with pink symbols all over . this is place to come and just ... think .
ponder about shutter stroll
Sep. 26th, 2024 10:14 amjust think about how , shutter stroll have uses as tool in some cases too ...
could use as inspiration to worldbuild . generate some random island , take some pretty pictures of things which find . think about details , about why and how .
or maybe want to show people parts of inner world , but struggle to know how . maybe shutter stroll world generations will give something perfect to use as reference - leaves , grasses , skies , water , all these things can have any colour .
of course will take time to find that perfect one , but , might still find fun things on journey even so .

shutter stroll ~ those other pines twins
Sep. 24th, 2024 12:12 pmas mention , did visit ford and stan islands as well !
these do not fit quite so well as dipper and mabel , but still very pretty .

shutter stroll ~ dipper and mabel islands
Sep. 24th, 2024 01:06 amreally slack on post any of shutter stroll dailies , but still check in so far everyday ! did come up with some new islands to visit , too .
welcome to dipper and mabel islands !
of course , names as is do not fit in format . best outcome is with 4 letter names , so turn to dipr and mabl .
... for random generations - explicitly not easter eggs - these seem to fit quite well . dipper island is extremely easy to get lost in , between very steep drops , extreme tree cover , and overall dark tone . mabel island is much more colourful - not as many features , but those features do include tall monoliths with symbols all around .
did also visit bill island , and ford island . ford island did not yet get post , though . maybe should head out to stan island and see if that one is any good , then post together .

shutter stroll videos
Sep. 21st, 2024 11:05 pmjust watch someone play shutter stroll who was sort of callous about whole thing ... like just move on very quickly , mentality of " get this done , do not want to play " - talk about want more things to look at while barely even look at what is already there . why is that ?
well , if nothing else , at least game provide coordinates inside camera . this means can just jot down ones where did not allow to shine , and visit as part of personal playthrough .

shutter stroll ~ bill island
Sep. 16th, 2024 02:53 pmlike many others recently , lover legion get back into gravity falls with release of book of bill . demons love demons , after all . kossai never did watch very much , just never have means , but hey - ciphers , right ?
so shutter stroll allow player to input coordinates and travel anywhere . super fun ! can go up to 99,99 on both north and east , so that is ... however many combinations . huge amount , really .
well , this means can input dates - or if feed through as numbers , names . obviously have limits to this , but bill happen to fit in perfectly : 2 9 12 12 turn into coordinates 02,09'N , 12,12'E .
so kossai get there , and ...
er ...
bill island is bubblegum pink . very pretty ! but not sure this exactly ... fit .
how about some filters ? maybe ... deep abyss .
( eyestrain )
oh yeah . much , much better .
wonder what other names might be fun time ?

have photos for other daily islands too , but not all feel quite special enough to take up storage space here .
this one though ... OK . kossai have weak spot for greens . might not know that , but true :P
shutter stroll ~ easter egg highlight
Sep. 11th, 2024 10:52 pm
of course , can not forget nice island . :-)
unfortunately islands 80081350 and 80088008 do not have easter eggs . wonder what other crude numbers worth try . :P
will not post every single daily island , but this was another one ...
visit this one very , very early after midnight , so this place feel very eerie . pitch black in life , and in game as well . part of intrigue in this game is just to wonder what these things might mean . could these be some sort of graves ? is this whole island one large ritual site ? or is this more like nuclear warning structure ?
of course , will never really know those answers .
... something about this one just move to tears , genuinely . something so vast , and lonely , but beautiful about this place .
shutter stroll ~ mechanics
Sep. 6th, 2024 12:48 pmought to really post this here too as reference !
backdate to original time of posts from cohost , but slightly update with new thoughts as well .
backdate to original time of posts from cohost , but slightly update with new thoughts as well .
island mechanics :
- possible to revisit any island where take photo , but only 24 slots in photo gallery - answer from creator of game confirm that these slots do not erase photos , but , gallery will only show 24 most recent ones .
- can save islands to memories , if interact with pink orb on boat , which will give permanent access . not sure if there is limit to memories !
- also , coordinates in every photo . same coordinates will show same island each time , so this is another way to revisit - and also share with others . :)
- if ever get stuck anywhere , or just need to suddenly quit without access to boat , just make sure screenshot or write down coordinates ( visible in pause menu ) , and will have way to return .
island exploration :
- sprint is not on by default . have to enable ability through menu . press shift once , and next movement will sprint .
- default jump is fairly high . terrain can be dramatic at times , but so far never get stuck for long - always find way to jump up and climb out .
- in bodies of water , eye level will generally stay above water , but different wave heights can intersect and slightly pull under . there is no underwater filter on vision . ( this is very important for kossai , because of phobia around water - swim in games almost always make panic , but not here . )
- random island which change daily !
- can save to memories like any other island , which will allow revisit any time .
- but , each snapshot will come with same set of coordinates .
- this set of coordinates also will not bring player to any daily islands , not even current one . very super pretty island though !
- so , no - can not give coordinates to slowpoke friend . can still revisit through memories .
