Summer DB entity ID: 0836f5de\-4b04\-4f9f\-a0d4\-a7e0126892d2

Steam App ID: 898460

Walkabout is a realistic digital twin of the Cockle Creek region in southern Tasmania, recreated using real‑world data with the goal of recreating a real place as faithfully as possible\.  Cockle Creek is the southernmost drivable point in Australia\. It is remote and quiet, surrounded by pristine beaches and dense rainforests, with unforgiving weather\. It is a beautiful place and  a harsh one\. That makes it an ideal setting for a realistic survival experience\.  The environment is your story\.  Good luck staying alive\.         Walkabout was built with accuracy to real life in mind\. The following features were created using real‑world data and hand‑crafted reconstruction to match the Cockle Creek region as closely as possible:     Actual heightmap data  used for the base landscape\.      Accurate time and date simulation  using the correct time zone and calendar\.      Dynamic lighting  based on real‑world intensity, exposure, and colour temperature values\.      True sun position  calculated from global coordinates, date, and time\.      Seasonally‑influenced dynamic weather  reflecting southern Tasmanian conditions\.      Realistic ocean tides  simulated using data from the Cockle Creek area\.      Accurate Earth rotation  represented in the sky system\.      Hand‑sculpted rivers  matching their real‑world paths\.      Roads, walking trails, driveways, and 4WD tracks  shaped to match their real‑world locations\.      Native flora  representing approximately 80% of the vegetation\.      Native fauna  representing 100% of the wildlife\.       Additionally, Walkabout currently features:      Customisable UI colouring\.      Full gamepad controller support  with customisable keybinds\.     Customisable keybinds  for mouse and keyboard\.     Language support  for 15 different languages\.           Walkabout takes place in a 7 km × 7 km recreation of a real Australian location\. It’s a quiet, atmospheric survival experience where you explore the land, gather what you need, and try to stay alive in a place that doesn’t care whether you make it or not\.  The wildlife won’t always warn you, the weather can turn without notice, and shelter becomes essential\. You’ll build, craft, forage, and hunt  iconic Australian animals  when you need to\. Survival depends on paying attention to your surroundings\.         Wafflesoft is an independent Australian studio, and Walkabout is a solo project\. This is my first game, built from the ground up with a focus on accuracy, atmosphere, and long‑term craft\.  Maintaining independence allows me the creative freedom to make decisions purely to serve the best interest of Walkabout\. Every part of Walkabout exists because it feels right for the experience I’m trying to create\.
