Awesome Game I've Only Played A Little But i Do Have One Small Suggestion When Buidling It Would Be Great To Be Able To Rotate Structures With The (Q) And (E) Keys Otherwise Seems Great I'm Already Having Some Fun Rebuilding The Houses By the Merchant On Survival Island mode Keep At It And I'm Certain This Good Game Could Be A Great One

The game is decent, it is fun to forage for resources and the vaiety of things to do is slight, but fun. Combat is not super frequent, but is visceral and interesting. However, the game is missing many of the things you would expect (or at least want) in a survival game... For instance when you are crafting, there is no pop-up or display of the resources required, you have to "x"-click out of the crafting menu and then tab in to the inventory to see how many of each item you have... Speaking of which, when you tab into any menu, you would expect to be able to tab (or at least esc) out of said menu... but no, the only way out of the menus is the "x" square on the top or bottom of the menu... and the menus are super inconsistent, almost every menu has a different configuration, which makes finding that "x" difficult at times until you're used to it. Then there is the fiber gathering.. There needs to either be way more fiber-bearing plants available, or there needs to be lower fiber requirements in the recipes... Alien crystals should NOT be easier to accumulate than plant fiber (especially since the world is RIFE with foliage, but only one (scarce) plant actually yields fiber). …

Abandoned potential!! What a shame. Dev, sale or give the game to someone that can and will continue developing it.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Edit: This is an asset flip, here's an example of one of the many plagiarised assets the developer ripped off to make this asset flip - the [url=https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/1a-105051055-a6f3b541bb3f4fde90fe9794a4e48dfe]"Shopkeeper"[/url] asset really created by the actual artist, "Ptaki". "The Glade" is a familiar story from a (probably asset flipped) Unreal kitbash... it's a basic Unreal Engine survival template. You're trapped on an island. But something weird happened, so you have to, you know, punch trees get wood. And fight monsters. Which in the case of this abandoned kitbash, come from meteors in the sky, whatever. In fairness if this is an asset flip some small effort went into trying to arrange everything to make a real game out of it, but that turned out to be too hard so they gave up. (Edit: I was wrong, this is a definitely an asset flip). What do you do in the game? Punch tree, get wood. This is dead standard survival gameplay that feels hot off someone else's survival game template. If it's not, wow, someone put in a lot of work to come out with a result that looks …
