Paintings in Nature

Introduction

This is my submission for the 4'33" Jam (https://itch.io/jam/433-jam). The theme for this jam is John Cage's famous song, 4'33", which is a special piano piece where the musician sits at a piano without playing for over four minutes. In this NPR story (https://www.npr.org/2000/05/08/1073885/4-33), the piece is described as "a music that, when it engaged you, made the present world open up like a lotus blossoming in stop-motion photography."

To meet this theme, I decided to avoid making an actual game with objectives. Instead, this is simply a nature scene in my little homage to Bob Ross, with "Happy Little Trees" and snow-covered mountains, featuring paintings I have done in his style. To prevent any real need for the player to move much, the paintings are all in the clearing where the player spawns.
