How does the game fit the theme?
This world exists in fragments, and the old charts and maps have faded to dust. As a Waymarker arriving on an uncharted island, you will walk the coast and give shape to the strange island on your hand-drawn map. The island will reveal its secrets only to those patient enough to draw them.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Cool concept! I am a bad cartographer.
Very fun & interesting mechanic! The erase functionality could have an outline showing how large the eraser is, and the eraser could be larger. All in all enjoyed it!
Wow! This is a really unique idea for a game jam and you guys executed it pretty well, congratulations! I will say, I found the walking to be too slow, I think the game would take a long time to beat just based on how long it takes to walk from one side to the other. But overall you guys had a great idea, well done!
I really enjoyed the cartography mechanic ! Hand-drawing the island as I explored felt super creative and fresh, and the audio and visuals pulled everything together nicely. It took me a little time to fully understand what to do and the controls felt a bit rough at first, but once it clicked, the concept really stood out and made the experience memorable.
The paiting mechanic is really well thought and smart, the map was also cool, well done guys!
really interesting mechanic!
Great audio and visuals, and the cartography gameplay was a very interesting concept! I think adding a viewpoint at the end of the level where you can see the whole island would have been nice! also was there an eraser? I didn't figure it out
looks really interesting but unfortunately i can’t move :(
and your UI does not scale with screen size
Thank you for your feedback, we have noticed that you are unable to move until you finish the tutorial. Thanks for calling out the scaling issues as well, we appreciate it!
Super cool game play. It was tough for me to tell where I was in relation to the map on the start
Very innovative and nice interpretation of the theme! Had some issues with the controls, main issue was moving markers when trying to draw.
Would suggest an easier onboarding level, with a simpler island and 2 markers for example.
Good work!
Pretty cool game, even tought I basically got all F on the map because I missed the first part of the map, so everything else was way off, but also because I was more focused on actually exploring than completing the map, like, when I saw the skull I was like: Yooo, that's cool. And 10 minutes later I would remember to put it on the map. Anyways, the game looks cool and the music is really good, nice job!
I am kinda lost. I like the idea but i am not really sure what to do exactly, think it would be good to have more of a guide or tutorialization in the beginning. I think that would gladly help.
Very cool idea! I noticed that if i didn't move my mouse SUPER SLOW when drawing the map, it turned into dots rather than a line, and was rejected. Sadly I can't do first person games usually without getting dizzy so I didn't get far beyond that. Good luck!
I really like being a cartographer and having to draw the island’s shape while discovering structures scattered around it. Great idea!
Yeah amazing concept! Gameplay was a little rough and I think the UX could use some polish. I was able to get around some of the quirks, but it was a little hard to understand how to play. Eventually I got it though! Love the idea of being a cartographer. Great idea! I would love to see you brush this up with some more polish.
Really original !
