The Gunk’s New Photo Mode is Full of Creative Possibilities Leave a comment

Hey Xbox fans, it’s me again and today we got something really cool to share! Since we launched The Gunk in December, seeing all the positive messages from critics and players highlighted something that seems to be synonymous with The Gunk: it’s jaw-dropping visuals. So, it’s my pleasure to be able to offer the Xbox community and virtual photographers the chance to get their hands on the new Photo Mode.

With the new Photo Mode, we are giving you a suite of powerful photography tools that will allow you to see The Gunk’s stunning alien world in a whole new light. If you’re familiar with photo modes from other titles, you’ll feel right at home here with a familiar host of editing possibilities, including depth of field, exposure, filters and a whole lot more.

You can further customize your shots by selecting character poses and facial expressions to add personality and style to your snaps. With these tools in hand, you’ll be able to create jaw-dropping images that you can share on social media or enjoy for your own artistic pleasure.

For those of you not familiar with The Gunk, it’s a sci-fi exploration game set on a mysterious alien planet. You’ll have to deal with a strange substance that you can vacuum up with Pumpkin, your trusty multi-purpose prosthetic arm. This ominous substance wreaks havoc on this alien planet’s stunning ecosystem, until you show up and help it spring back into life before your eyes.
