Game Journalism Day 5 - Predict and Play

In my about 50 minute time of play Subsistence I was actually surprised on how far I made it. Personally I thought I would'nt even get as wood foundation in time down but I was wrong.


I was actually able to build a wood foundation, wood wall and as well as a base command unit. I probably would've been able to craft a shotgun but I did'nt have enough metal.


Here is also my inventory not really anything special just thought I would show it 

Survival Guide

The First Day 

-On your first day the first thing your gonna wanna do is chop some wood at least enough for a campfire and also have about 7 logs as fuel for the night time.

-If you can collect even more wood for wooden planks as wooden planks will be used to make your base and you will need a good amount of them.

-Build a base command unit when you are ready you don't have to build it that early on I would say build a shotgun before building a base command unit.

-Save ashes as they are used for fetilizer later on in the game.

-Build a bow as quick as possible they are so good for collecting meat and cheap to make.

Game Journalism Day 2

 who created the game?

Coldgames

What things can you interact with in this game

Trees
Chickens
Mine Ore


More pictures to come...fraps was'nt taking some pictures 

Some new tips I have are 

-Build a simple wood foundation and wood wall. After that build a base command unit as it lets you find your way back to your base.

-Wolves do end up stop running after so best thing to do is to just keep running.

- If you are not near your base when its about to turn night make a campfire because in this game you can die in the cold night if you only have starting clothing on.
(later in the game you can make warmer clothing)

-Wolves take 7 bullets to kill so if you have less just run away and don't bother with it.

-Make a shotgun once you have somewhat of a base setup as it 1 hits bears at close range as well as wolves and is very useful for collecting their pelts and meat.





One more thing is that this guide I found gave me about 10 more fps

Tips for day 1

- Save your game often as it can save you a lot  of frustration in game. Just takes a minute to do.

- Stay close to your base at the start of the game since you won't have much to go out and explore forever and also just to get familiar with the area that you are in.
