Scorpions are super easy to kill. Just don't throw your spear everywhere like you were practicing for the Olympics. Just stab them. Same for the skunks. Or harpies -- you should have the range on them to interrupt their attacks. On the food side, there's a fishing pond close to the cave, and you can grab stuff swimming as well. Sea urchin combined with starfish is pretty good, and doesn't require a fire.

You don't have to throw the spear. It's easier just to get them with a stabbing motion. It's too easy to loos the spear or wind up in a lot of trouble by throwing it. I've found the good starting combo is the spear with the axe, spear with navy jacket and axe with navy jacket. (Worst is the pistol, reloading kills you when attacked by multiple animals and you only have 9 shots)

Well, you are so very right about the sleep needed per day it should be 18 hours awake with energy and 6 hours of sleep. You said constructive criticism make less animal attacks and you know instead of a timer on screen make it more involved in the actual doing the work comparing to a lot of games it is lacking in the actual doing with to much screen time processing going on. Maybe make it comparable to Green Hell and The infected of course different just the processing and time. Other than that wow it is a keeper and we will enjoy this series no doubt.

Once you craft the rope, craft the charcoal from fire, then go back to big tree, climb ladder to top and map the area. Opens the map for you

[FlipCanon]

I’m hoping you release episode 3 asap!! I can’t wait to watch it

[daniellesmith]

I think it is sooo cool to see a skunk! Zombies, wolves & bears - oh my…too much! Nice change of pace.

[shawnmer]

Pretty incredible game! I love it so far, very brutal lol, mapping is very cool in the game. Hope it is a humongous map with a lot to do. Cannot wait for the finished product. Yes crafting does take forever.

There is a lot going on in this game, not only the animals you got to look out for but the plants he he spiky bushes that's fun and that hawk came out of know where at least I think it was a hawk great episode😁😎.

[charlenekelly]

cool game, will be great to see how this one progresses. Just fyi - this ep is missing from your playlist. Thanks so much for everything!!

Hibiscus tea? Absolutely useful for helping with flues and colds and allergies even.

[lonesomedovezz]

I love watching your game play but there must be something about this game. I watched 7 different gamers play this game and not one completed the requested things to do, it was so frustrating lol. One played for 2 hours before he was even able to find the long sticks and at that point I wanted to scream lol. But I did see something in another I wanted to give you a tip about. In the water right at the beach you spawned in at are a few crates with supplies. And way down the beach toward the other end of the island are a few things you'll want to see. Looking forward to the next video you do on this.

Go swimming and get starfish and urchins to make caviar for food and water. Also a box to loot in under water.

[kommanderklotz]

Hey GE, nice New Game! But for the Scorpions or Skunks try to stab not to throw the spear!

[joehackenberg]

Yeah the game can definitely use the ability to hold the torch in the other hand. It looks beautiful though so amazing job on that.

This survival game feels more like survival. Especially for an indie title. Other than many other survival games you've played, firstly the graphics seem more intentional and thematic, and I'm liking that almost every resource you collect (of which it seems there are plentiful - almost Green Hell'ish, maybe better even.. with some over-arcing story behind it) seems to be important, and necessary for survival (plus perhaps some narrative pay-off at the end, a la "The Forest" or "Green Hell", though generally difficult to matter in an open world sand box space, still.. motivation for the player who won't run a 100+ episode youtube series on it). Every plant, and stone, and stick - matters, even has a threat chance for injury from collecting, or getting indigestion/poisoned from eating (with yet other ways to mitigate it).
Graphics and assets-wise, again, doesn't feel like some Unity engine -or-something pack that someone slammed on, just to populate the world with things to interact with - there seems to be some intention behind it, some game-design mechanics (consider how you can't even harvest an entire pile of stones, or leaves from a tree, or meat or guts or hide from an aggressive hog you just killed.. unless you sacrifice time.. which is also a realistic resource - you as player have to weigh the time spent vs the sacrificed resources lost, etc).

The world doesn't seem as empty as other indie survival games, at this stage of development (no offense to single dev projects). Features not included yet, are clearly marked.. so you might know what to expect in the 1.0 release, at least. This shows that the dev has the player experience in mind... which suggests more, better, later.

Survival is essentially life and death.. but this game doesn't just depict it a simple health meter. There are afflictions, like sun burn, and various illnesses which one would experience when living naked in the woods. Why haven't most other survival games done this before? Hunger, thirst, health, stamina.. they all have it. It's more involved here.. which makes it more attractive to me.

The game seems more difficult. Not just: start to bash a tree (with your fist?!) and pick up some rocks.. then build a mansion, by grinding the same resources.

And of course, Love the UI. Everything you need to know, as far as I have seen, is present for the most part. You can figure it out without the need of a huge tutorial. Objective: make a wooden spear... how? The rest of the UI will suggest it, without holding your hand and dragging you though the thing you need to do to get rid of obnoxious on-screen messages.

I just watch games. Not a reviewer or anything. I'd like to see more of this. Please.

that trying to punch a chicken is something I'd do.

Game looks pretty fun and awesome, keep going GE, you are doing fine ;)
