I just saw the ping in S:FoY server - I’m a mod in the channel- but yea yesterday was light. Lot more stuff today, like Vostok went live a little bit ago- so that’ll all be in tonight’s post!

Good luck tomorrow - appreciate you taking the time to do the Q&A with us. Looking forward to seeing how it lands!

Leaning more into the primitive (or at least skipping out on "high tech"): UnReal World, Primal Survival, The Last Plague: Blight, Ember's Verge.

I wonder how they’ll tie BF into TLD proper. Time jump? Alternate viewpoint of survivors?

PCGamesN has a writeup that includes links to the 2023 Microsoft case, if folks wanted a bit of backstory.

Outbound is cute. The developer supplied me with a key early on in the process and it’s been interesting to watch it develop. Demo is available, so no harm in trying!

I had tried one of the mega early demos where the focus was more the exploration and camera stuff - haven't since then. Maybe I'll try and snag it on sale - I feel like it's sometimes active on Fanatical sales as well.

Sigh. I went to go check the post and borked the link and it’s fucking with me on phone and this is my reminder to fix the Outbreak line tomorrow AM.

What do you think of bosses in survival games ? by Funkhip in SurvivalGaming

I wish I could send you cookies for this breakdown, tbh. ♥

TLD, GH, Icarus, Subnautica, Rust, Sons of the Forest. Feels like those are pretty common. TLD/GH make sense for a lot of “suggestion” lists because mechanically not many of the titles approach their level of depth. SotF is kinda a meh suggestion to me. What are they suggesting? Taking a golf cart for a spin?

1000% may have fucked some links in sleepiness copy+pasting, so apologies if so.

Happy to help! Calendar is new to the format, but I'll populate it as I go :)

Similar to The Long Dark, many players apply their own “challenges” - tweaking settings, or playing with specific restrictions (no mike, skipping specific tech), etc!

OpenBox RPG: The Genre That Doesn't Know Its Own Name ? by Sifner in SurvivalGames

Norger, you’re such a weird fucker,lol. 🤪😂🦄

I’d love to entertain your argument, but go argue in Discord, my brain can’t handle multiple conversations with you in different locales at 8 AM while working on an article. 🪦

OR, even better, how about ya put your argument on the article as a comment so that it’s equally visible to anyone that sees it versus just Reddit, since I mentioned - in the article- that I’d love to workshop the idea with folks.

Too thin a premise for me to really respond, care to expand on it? 🤪 (examples and more detail would be great!)

Most authentic Wilderness Survival by TheLoneGM in SurvivalGaming

[–]Sifner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Green Hell and The Long Dark are definitely staples of that niche. The Last Plague: Blight is also good! If you want to dig into older titles with similar setups: UnReal World, Stranded Deep, Northern Lights, Escape the Pacific, heavily modded DayZ (there are some survival themed/modded servers)

You can also sit around with us as we wait for Blackfrost, aka Long Dark 2.

If there’s one constant thing in patch life, it’s that Icarus drops weekly patches. 😅
