levism84 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 First of all, thank you for making this game. I am a huge fan of the survival genera, but I've never played anything quite like this before. I saw it on Steam and figured I would roll the dice on it. My $20 was not wasted in the least.Between the landscapes, the music, and the sounds (oh, the sounds!) I felt very immersed in the experience. Okay, praise aside, you are in alpha and need some player feedback, so I will get to the nitty-gritty.I've only played through three times, so far. My first time I lasted several days before I died of food poisoning. My second time, I was mauled to death by a wolf inside a hydro-electric damn... lasted 22 game minutes. My third time, I lasted a while but ended up succumbing to food poisoning once again (obviously, I need to stop eating bad/spoiled food ). Still, the searching for supplies and avoiding wolves was enjoyable.Searchable drawers... I mean, like... individual drawers in a desk or in a filing cabinet!? I didn't know what I was missing until I saw it. I know it is a little, simple thing to be excited about but... there it is.I think the calorie system is great but might need a little tweaking. At least that is my uneducated view, as it seemed like the calories just flew by. I imagine you've done your homework and have used real-world equivalents and statistics to figure out how many calories are burned at rest, when active, and in response to environmental phenomenon like cold.I would love to be able to craft more items or be able to multitask the stove. If it is large enough, I would want to be able to cook raw meat AND melt snow/boil water during the same time period. However, I understand there are limits to both the crafting system as well as the fuel for the fire in the game.I would love to see a few more offensive options (bows and arrow with ammunition that can be crafted from wood would be nice), but I understand the game isn't meant to be a "survive forever" sort of simulator. However, I am hoping that as the mechanics are tweaked, and more options to both help and hinder a player are added, the game will allow for a greater chance for survival for the thoughtful and creative.Wrapping up, great game, I checked out the Kickstarter (wish I had known about it beforehand) and you guys seem like an awesome bunch of people, and I hope this game becomes everything you want it to be (because I REALLY want it to be).Would love to see a larger sandbox and maybe even a more diverse map down the road... realistic deserted island survival?
