Just a Waste of Time and Effort ... OR ... Give an OPTION to turn it OFF, Mainly for Solo Players.

Tried the Demo when it First Came Out and was Offline for 1 Day and Lost my Base.
That is Plain and Simple _ Stupid. ... ( And I'm Not building a Bonfire just to play a Game. )

Hi, gpcstargate!

Thank you for your suggestion! We are changing the Decay mechanism. When we launch EA edition, you can adjust almost all the settings in the single-player mode, including Decay. We hope you can enjoy our game in the near future!

Been having a blast with the demo now in solo mode, I only hope you can implement a pause and offline for single player. Y'all got a long road ahead before release, but looking forward to Early Access later on! :cozybethesda:

Hi, Kainos!

Thank you for your support, we will take you suggestions into consideration!

Thank you for your support and suggestions, we are working hard to get the game better! We will make the guide of the game clearer, hope you enjoy our game !

I think your game looks great, will you be allowing private servers though?

already loving what i see, cannot wait for EA release!!!

Played for a short bit and I'm enjoying it so far! I agree that the crafting menus and tech trees are a bit tedious to access, and the decay mechanism is not my favorite. I am also a solo-player in general and will be disappointed if I come back to my game to find all of my things gone! I am glad I got to try the single-player mode — thank you for opening it up!

I also noticed that it was running poorly in high quality, so I had to lower the graphics settings. I don't typically have to do this on my PC for other survival craft games (which I play a lot of). Then I noticed that animals were falling from the sky upon spawn. Not sure if it's due to the lower graphics setting or a rendering error, but it does take away from the immersion when it starts raining tapirs!

I look forward to seeing where this game goes! Good job developers :)

In what world does "Recycle" mean to pick up? Some of the wording is just god awful...

Where is the rain forest sounds?

Worst combat I've seen in a VERY long time..

Exploring is crap. These Ruins?? No, just NO. Went to like 20 of them and every time its 2-3 humans, or a few dogs. EVERY TIME. No dungeon, nothing to explore, just nothing..

Good luck. Wont be buying this, that's for sure.

ALL you have here is resource management to the MAX. A huge time waster with no fun..

Thanks for this little gem. I was like yeah lets see what comes. it runs good at this point., i like the idea from hunting animals with score points like in a hunting sim but without the "slow" sim play. Clearly one of the better Demos out there. And bright ideas behind. Could be a good fresh wind between conan und ark. Dunno i played ark and conan too and there was more horrible glitching bugs etc . I hope this game gets a release, i would buy it.

I thought this game might change my mind. However:

- The tutorial and general conveyance is bad
- The UI/UX is a mess
- The optimization seems bad
- Even if these things worked it just looks like another game with heaps of UI upon heaps of UI to click through and they somehow call this gameplay

This game reinforced my past experiences with survival games.

Agree with none of it. For me this is the only survival game after Valheim that I enjoy tremendously.
- Managed to figure out everything from tutorial to the point I switched it off after recruiting thralls cause I wanted to explore and find out things on my own.
- I had no problem with UI.
- In terms of optimisation and performance this game gives me solid 60fps on maxed out setting and I do not have modern rig. Not a single error, and only one crash but that was my fault trying as I was fiddling with higher resolution.

Replying aside.
Somehow I read plenty of posts where people cannot seem to figure out basics. There is tutorial but this is meant to be survival game, so you learn while playing. Game won't hold your hand all the time. And it shouldn't.

I feel that half of the people trying this demo would need a warning message not to eat take-way pizza along with the cardboard.

It is like when I played strategy survival game: Endzone. They had 8 hour tutorial after which you were left with nothing new. All has been explained. So there was no point in playing much more. This is the opposite, you have hints but you need to go and figure out stuff.

Survival should be survival. You rely on yourself and your brain (I am not commenting on individual outcomes in games).

Will the demo version of the game be disabled after the festival ends?

Way to go devs, this team is showing incredible energy and vision already. I can't wait to scoop this up when EA is released. The tribe AI is the most exciting aspect for me personally, this is such an overlooked feature with open world survival craft games. Having competent AI partners is the key to getting infinite enjoyment and longevity, long after friends have moved on or for those who don't have any with similar interest to begin with, you will always be able to hop in and join your tribe members.

And watch them get stuck on tiny rocks for years to come :P

Hey Devs !

Just started playing this game, at first I was very very lost, I was running everywhere, making camps, trying to understand the different mechanics, and at some points thought the game was empty because I haven't seen any ennemi or objectif for hours, I almost quit AND THEN I pressed the map button and my vision of the game changed and now I cant stop playing it.

I didn't seen the tutorial telling me the map exists, I though it was like some games where you have to unlock the map, U should give more guidance to new players at starts or they will just turn around and leave after 2 hours.

The game is complex but I love it this way and its very enjoyable, I hope the EA will come very soon.
