The Clouds in FLOWER

Hello, friends in #hive. I am encouraged to participate for the first time in this community and it fills me with satisfaction. You can read the original contest post here. Gaming Photography Weekly Contest - Theme: Cloud landscapes

I always like to take screenshots of the landscapes of video games while I play. For this occasion, I want to propose something different from common games. I want to show you Flower, a game developed by thatgamecompany.

From the title screen, we realize that it will be a different game, standing out for the beauty of its landscapes and the simplicity of its beautiful graphics. The game is available for PC, PlayStation, and iOS.

In this game, we will become the wind that can propel flower petals through beautiful landscapes, from peaceful meadows to polluted cities. As we progress, we can collect new petals and increase our speed of movement.

The music of the game is really beautiful and soothing, accompanying us throughout the game and joining small sound effects that improve it as we play.

I would not hesitate to consider this game a masterpiece of art, evoking feelings of peace and tranquility in the player. Without exaggerated mechanics, everything happens slowly and calmly. Perhaps for this reason, it has been praised by critics on several occasions.

In Flower, the sky becomes a canvas that will always accompany our gameplay. I tried to always capture the peace and tranquility of the landscapes, but also the saddest and most emotional parts. It shows us nature surviving against the sometimes apocalyptic hand of man.

This game has just seven levels, including the playable level of the credits. It may take you at most two or three hours to completely win it, but it is in replayability where the real treasures of the game are. Although there are no dialogues or texts, a small story is told. We are advancing from a meadow, a field of windmills, a destroyed power plant, and a polluted city. Each time we advance a level, our menu screen will be updated.

As I said earlier, I tried to capture all the beauty of the skies of Flower, from fluffy white clouds to threatening storm clouds, as well as clear skies covered with flower petals. I tried to make a compilation between all the levels, as well as include a screenshot of the menu because the sky looks beautiful from the window.

To capture these images, I explored different areas of the game and played with light and wind to create interesting and dynamic screenshots. I also tried to tell a story with my images, conveying the atmosphere and emotions of the game.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them. I also highly recommend this game, especially for moments when you want to disconnect from reality and immerse yourself in beautiful landscapes. It is undoubtedly a unique and enriching experience, a new way to appreciate the beauty of nature.

If you have made it this far, thank you for reading me. A big greeting and my best wishes for you to have a nice day.

Note: All screenshots included in this post were taken by me during my gameplay sessions of the video game Flower.
