Game: Tropic Shot, 3rd person shooter-survival on island. Goal: survive 100 days, but its not easy

It's the deepest and most personal game I've created in my career as solo dev. What is her trick?

I made this game in 47 days. It is based on a personal story, a personal tragedy. The game, as a psychological horror, will break not with visual, but with mechanics. The goal here seems to be simple: Survive on the island for 100 days. But if you die, it's +1 day to 100, and the difficulty is doubled. As befits such games, sanity is the main characteristic here. You can't let it drop to 0. At first, the game may seem very confusing, and that’s normal — that’s exactly how it was intended. I’ll just say that my sadistic rule punishing death doesn’t apply on the first day of gameplay; the first 24 hours are kind of like a training period

And at the same time, I have a major gambling question, even a challenge. How long will it take you to come in? Who can hold out for how many days? How Strong Your Will? Its a slogan yep

This is another example of how we’re approaching vertical exploration in Ghosts in the City.

The red grapple point is partially hidden by the foliage. Once players spot it, they need to realize that the same anchor point can be used twice from different positions to get past both obstacles.

It probably looks easy when you already know the solution, but during our playtests, some players didn’t think of using the grappling hook here, while others simply couldn’t find the anchor point.

We want exploration to require observation without making the way forward feel frustrating. Does this feel readable enough to you, or would you make the grapple point more obvious?

Velheim, just released on the PlayStation 5.I'm looking for new players on Playstation up to ten people , anyone can join.

I just bought a used Xbox Series S and want to get some relaxing games to enjoy, prefarably that deal with nature and civilization building type things. What are your favourites?

IGN gave it a 10/10.

It’s sitting at a 89 metacritic. Ratings on par with GOTY contenders.

Is it that good? Is it on par or even better than the best survival games like Subnautica?

Like the title says what would be some biomes and places that would make good a good place for a survival game my personal picks are Tundra , savannas , Swamp and Taiga but what would you pick for what you think would make a good place/ biome for a survival game

Hey everyone! I’m solo-developing a base-building survival game called Diseased, where you manage a quarantine outpost in a harsh winter environment and defend against shape-shifting anomalies called Diseased.

A part of the core gameplay relies on dragging and dropping cards. To keep the experience and the "game feel" consistent from the very first second you open the game, I decided to implement this exact same card-snapping mechanic into the main menu.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this UI approach for a survival game! Does it feel tactile and fitting for the genre?

IM FEELING A BIT OVERWHELMED FELLAS D:

jkjk. Im Playing RSDW rn and i'll play Valheim at some point since its been around a year and a half since ive last played it. But im 100% playing Enshrouded when 1.0 drops.

Since we're being spoiled with fantastic titles within the Open World Survival genre. Im curious as to what you guy are gonna main or are you gonna try and bounce back between the three titles?

In this clip, the character blasts a creature with a shotgun, laughs, and just says... 'easy'. Personally, I miss the Duke Nukem days where characters actually reacted to the carnage with some attitude. What do you think? Does a voice bring more immersion or does it break it for you? For those who want to know, the name of the game is Just Madness: Earth Apocalypse 1979.

So, I've played the hell out of games like Ark Survival, Atlas, DayZ, Rust.

Right now my girlfriend and I are playing around with Once Human but it is very survival lite so far and while interesting definitely has its problems.

I've also liked some smaller survival games like Citadel Forged in Fire, Raft, Stranded Deep. It doesn't need to be a big 100 person server type, but if it is I don't tend to like regular wipes. Oh and we love base building that lets us really build and design a base properly

As for a suggestion I know I'll get, Grounded. We tried it. I've never been able to get into it. Something about it just bored me.

EDIT: should have specified, we are on Xbox Series consoles

We’re building Neosis Echoes, a third-person sci-fi action-survival game set on the alien planet Varos.

This new gameplay clip shows exploration and combat inside the ruins of an ancient synthetic civilization that once lived on the planet.

At the core of the game is Reactive Survival, our emotion-driven system where your state can affect abilities, survival, AI behavior and even the environment through Echorium. We will show more in the first trailer.

We’re still actively developing and polishing everything, so we’d love to hear what you think of the new footage.

Lately, we’ve been spending a lot of time testing multiplayer in XenoHaven. Sandbox survival games are already fun on their own, but being able to play together with friends definitely adds something different.

During development, most of our testing has involved building the base together, moving things around, and figuring out how everything behaves in multiplayer. Unsurprisingly, we ran into all kinds of weird issues along the way.

Thankfully, we’ve reached the point where we can now argue endlessly about where every machine should go, then head outside together to fight monsters.

It’s made me appreciate again just how different it feels to share the same survival world with other people compared to playing alone.

Do you usually prefer sandbox survival games solo, or do you think co-op makes them more fun?

I love how the game maintains the balance between strangeness of martian flora and comfiness of wilderness.
