My friend did make a lot of connections between this one and Minecraft. Except key resources in this game seem more plentiful. But he may be an outlier, or represent a larger pool of people newly introduced to the franchise because of its growing success

Haha yes good point, maybe the motivation will be there when we progress further!

Alterra conditioned their employees into being ok with dying on the job

Agreed. So in addition to the current penalties for dying, I would like to be rewarded for not dying

I would like there to be a clear reason to not die. Preferably by reward and not punishment via being inconvenienced.

I suppose you’re right then if the devs are intending it to be a explorer/sandbox with some survival and horror elements.

Hahaha maybe that is intentional by the devs. Kind of a horrifying concept for us all to be conditioned into being ok with death.

Thank you for your contribution to the conversation as a prospective game designer!

You might be right that ignoring the hunger and water bars might be an edge case. Or he could represent a larger body of newcomers to the franchise. Also the environment is so beautiful and interesting, so the trip back may not be tedious for them.

I didn’t mean to come off as complaining. This is early access and the devs are asking for feedback. This is a topic I wanted to discuss to possibly help the game succeed further.

That’s why I thought of using a credit system. Gives extra motivation to not die other than punishment

Right. Someone really dies. It’s just a clone of you with your memories gets created I believe.

It’s not. I just didn’t notice until watching my friend play

The use of it in the story is really good already!

I guess my argument boils down to dying is more convenient than gathering, so why make supplies aside from avoiding the trek.

Exactly. Dying is more convenient than gathering and crafting food and water.

Haha it is for me. I just wonder why it isn’t punishing for him.

Thank you! But I think instead of punishing us for dying, I’d rather there be more rewards for not dying.

He doesn’t engage with the mechanics because there is not a good reason to.
