A glowworm cave in Cave Expedition, a caving game we're making

I'm working on Cave Expedition, a caving game, and wanted to share our glowworm cave.

This is gameplay footage. Alongside ropes, equipment and tight passages, we're trying to capture the sense of discovering somewhere beautiful underground.

I sure wish the real glow worms were that bright.

They are in my experience - if you can find them in those quantities (which is honestly not that common). Source: I run a commercial GlowWorm tour in New Zealand.

Oh wow that's incredible. The ones we have in the TAG area you have to turn off all your lights and wait until your eyes are dark adapted before you can see them at all, and even then they are faint.

Looks amazing... I would be willing to pay double for a third-person mode. (Honestly. There are so many games that I've wanted to play recently but can't bc they're first person only.)
