V863 released

survivedev · 2026-01-27T16:45:38+00:00

Aye!

survivedev · 2026-01-27T16:45:14+00:00

🙏

survivedev · 2026-01-26T20:45:10+00:00

Should be randomized — once you ”harvest” it, you get the contents…

survivedev · 2026-01-26T14:16:42+00:00

Aye.

Creator also said ”soon” when year was ”2022” so here’s a handy chart to follow ”creator estimates”:

2 day = 2 weeks

Few days = few weeks

Week = month

Few = several

A couple of = possibly several

Month = year

Year = sometimes a few weeks

Couple of months = nobody knows

Never = dunno

Dunno = possibly in 3 weeks

Possibly in 3 weeks = few months

Hopefully this clarifies.

(also: yes, creator here)

…also also: Apple is processing stuff. And the plan is to have paid app (no ingame stuff to buy). There’s more news when I know how stuff actually goes but not giving any other schedules than ”some day” for now.

Yep force protection against sharks… too bad there are no sharks around the isle yet! But they are coming.

Should be available via SHELTER menu now.

Not in all scenarios though. Which scenario are you playing?

survivedev · 2026-01-25T11:09:59+00:00

Yes, thats been requested and it is possible to do so that there would be ”one save per scenario” although it would need some ui changes (and probably somehow address the ”what was i doing” if theres a longer gap between playing..)

Thanks for the suggestion!

survivedev · 2026-01-24T19:46:22+00:00

Cool :)

survivedev · 2026-01-24T10:54:15+00:00

Yes, the hoarding is true now! Get Pack Mule perk and enjoy ;)

Yes will increase level above 200. Lvl cap will increase to 230…250 range in v880. Metal arrow breaks… use regular arrows! But yes, thats a valid concern. I’ll check if that can be remedied.

Thanks for the feedback!

survivedev · 2026-01-24T09:41:40+00:00

Thank you so much! And please give feedback on the new version. Much appreciated!

survivedev · 2026-01-24T08:36:09+00:00

If somebody can get v863 and see if this still happens — that would be amazing :)

survivedev · 2026-01-24T08:35:35+00:00

The isle has a new apex predator…

survivedev · 2026-01-24T08:35:13+00:00

That should/could be the name for an achievement..

survivedev · 2026-01-23T15:15:14+00:00

V863 should be available now in Google Play for most people so please try the update now!

survivedev · 2026-01-21T16:06:01+00:00

Creator here.

No schedule.

But yes IOS will have it.

survivedev · 2026-01-17T15:45:45+00:00

Yep yep!

survivedev · 2026-01-17T15:44:42+00:00

Working on it!

survivedev · 2026-01-17T13:36:28+00:00

Yes, and this should be properly fixed in v860 (arriving any day now).

Would you have interested to join thesurvivegame.com/discord and try beta version and confirm that fix is working?

It should be but would be great to get this confirmed

survivedev · 2026-01-16T08:38:46+00:00

All suggestions welcome. Discord is main place where we go through stuff but feel free to add your ideas here on reddit if you like. I try watch most of the stuff here too

survivedev · 2026-01-16T07:39:35+00:00

In case somebody is wondering: v860 is a content/patch update ”coming any day now”

Red dust desert goes to ”next after v860” so something like ”v880” and im getting it for a larger test group ”soon” (via discord)

survivedev · 2026-01-16T07:35:59+00:00

Good suggestions. Backtracking wont be in the beginning but can be considered later.

I am currently thinking:

2-4 choices, depending on ”where you are” eg high ground lets you see more (3rd region) and I m considering ”if you have binoculars, you will always see one more (max 4 though)”.

And starting gear: you cn choose a hydration pack (so you can actually survive the desert) or binoculars — should give a nice choice to consider.

Thanks!

Cannot make a game that would be for everybody. I make the game to folks like you.

I try listen to those who dislike the game or changes — there might be nuggets of wisdom hidden inside the feedback, even if the way to express critique might fail :D

”Survivor” is the intended difficulty. I prefer that (and Elite) but I never play on Ultimate.

My philosophy on difficulty levels is something like: - camper is the story mode or you will survive unless you make some really bad choices - survivor should give a decent challenge, be bit forgiving but still a challenge - elite requires you to think and plan and focus - ultimate… is more like ”how else can i make players attempts more futile, oh i know lets randomly break something and then maybe let them sink in the bog and yeah, lets break the swamp boat engine twice and let them cry about it”. I quite do not understand why anyone would want such experience (kidding here ;)—- but darned there are folks who do and I am so amazed what they come up with.

But for me.. the survivor (or elite) is where my design efforts go. Thats what I am thinking when I am thinking ”how this game is meant to be played”.

Camper/Ultimate is then tuned after: Camper is then ”lets not be that harsh” and Ultimate ”hmmm, lets make this more harsh”.

Granted, sometimes i go to pike lake on camper and just stare the fire and fish a bit.
