ScreenSaver XP was a 3D tribute to the Windows XP "Bliss" wallpaper, built in Unreal Engine. Instead of a flat photo, it recreated the rolling green hill and sky as a fully 3D scene and ran it as a screensaver with a full 24-hour day/night cycle, from bright daylight through sunset to a starry night. The original 2021 build let you switch to a one-hour cycle with 1 or a five-minute cycle with 5. Version 0.1, posted in July 2022, offered four speeds instead: 1 for one hour, 2 for 30 minutes, 3 for 15 minutes and 4 for one minute, with Tab to hide the on-screen help. Esc closed it in both. Mike released it for Windows on itch.io in May 2021. In 2021 it was listed at a $1.99 minimum; by July 2022 the page offered version 0.1 alongside the original build and had become name-your-own-price.
