Jaunt

Submission: Dr. Astrid Greenwood Category: Wintermute Premature happy early access birthday to The Long Dark. The most fun part was scouting for locations and building up the sets as needed, I had a few more locations in mind but had to cut them for time, I might make another thread in the future with those scenes. The following two are the workbench at the Quonset Garage in Coastal Highway, one of my favourite locations despite the occasional wolf or bear. The distress pistol/flare gun is a prop: modeled, 3D printed, smoothed, painted, and weathered for effect. There's even a removable prop shell inside. The next two are at the wood burning stove on the second floor at the Camp Office in Mystery Lake, it's still one of the most beautiful and cozy set pieces in the game for me. These last two are in one of the many Fishing Huts throughout Great Bear Island, I enjoy making little caches of supplies for future me to rediscover or rely on during a sudden snow storm in a survival mode playthrough. The potbelly stove is a prop: a keen eye will see it is simple 5 gallon/18 liter bucket, I didn't want to catch this modified closet on fire by trying the real thing. The fishing hole was achieved by putting a hole in a false floor, using some paper towel as "snow/packed ice", and a circular cut of black trash bag as the "water". The last one is my favourite of this set of photos. I've been scrolling through this thread over and over appreciating the lovely touches everyone is bringing, I hope these shine through just as well.
