Game Journalism Play 2

1. What I Did

• Made a research table
• Researched things
• Made a Sail
• Made a spear
• Made crop pot
• Made small storage

2. Tips and Tricks

• Do not place important things near the edge of your raft. Keep at least one ring of empty platforms around your raft.
• Sail moves your raft faster than a paddle
• Sailing towards oncoming resources allows you to collect them easier
• Always have food cooking and water purifying
• Don't get distracted and forget to eat and drink
• You will not realistically be able to kill a shark with a wooden spear

3. Strategies for Tomorrow

• Make an anchor and go to an island.
• Work towards researching a smelter to make metal tools and better purifiers/grills.
• Grow more plants to rely less upon fish.

4. My Raft

Game Journalism Day 1

What is the game about?

You are placed on a small raft in the middle of an ocean. You must collect debris to make tools to help you survive.

Starting Raft:

Island:

Abandoned Raft:

How do you collect debris?

1. Hook:

2. Pressing "E":

Debris Types:

1. Wood:

2. Plastic:

3. Leaves:

4. Barrels:

Barrels have an assortment of raw materials in them along with some rare items like plantable food.

Death:

The first death that you will likely encounter is from thirst. You will need one of these to make fresh water:

Shark Attack:

Sharks will randomly bite sections off of your raft

Game Journalism Play 1

1. What I did:

• Collected Basic resources. Plastic, planks, leaves etc.
• Expanded raft with the building tool
• Made a fishing rod
• Died of thirst
• Made a water purifier
• Made a grill
• Planted a potato in a shoe
• Made a spear to fend off sharks

2. What I learned about how to play the game:
As with most survival games there is a constant need to find food, water, and basic resources that are required to make almost everything. There are also sharks that attack you and your raft. Starting off you need to use a hook to retrieve basic resources. After collecting these resources you need to work toward getting sources of food, water, building and protection. These include a fishing rod, a cup, a water purifier, a grill, a building hammer, and a spear. Work towards water and food first. Do not eat or drink anything that hasn't been cooked unless you are about to die. It is better to eat uncommon foods that you could've planted later rather than dying and losing everything.

3. What strategies I will try to focus on tomorrow:
Tomorrow I will try exploring to other rafts and islands now that I have a stable food source. Keeping a stable food source is still the priority along with expanding my raft.
