GJ Day 5

Prediction

I predict that I will be able to  build a house or a foundation with a campfire and a doorway at least and also maybe a shotgun.


I got a foundation, a doorway, and a campfire, but not the shotgun.

Survival Guide

  1. On the first day you should mainly focus on getting wood so you can build a campfire and not freeze to death on the first night. Also collect any boxes you see if possible.
  2. During the first night i would suggest you stay near your campfire, because it gets difficult to see and unless you have good weapons already, animals will take you by surprise and kill you.
  3. You should start trying to build a base on your second day, but don't build a base command unit until you feel ready, because once you do hunters will spawn in and try to kill you.

Misc. Tips

  • Try to get a shotgun as early on as you can and then work towards a rifle.
  • You don't need a pickaxe  to mine the materials you get from rocks, you can use your axe.
  • Collect all the fibre you see as soon as possible.
  • Don't go up the mountain unless you have good clothing to keep you warm.
  • You don't have to stay in the menu to craft things.

GJ Day 2

Who created the game?

ColdGames

What can your interact with and what is the benefit?

  • Tree: Trees get you wood and usually the thicker the tree the more wood you get ranging from 3-6.
  • Wolf: Wolves give you meat, fat, and cloth which can be used for food, and clothing.
  • fibre plant: I have found three different types of fibre plants; Medical, Blueberry, and fibre. The medical plant can be used to make health packs, the blueberry bush can be used to get blueberries for food, and the fibre plant can be used to get fibre which can be used to make cordage.
  • Resource Bag/Box: I have found three different kinds of boxes/bags,a medical bag, a wooden crate, and a locked wooden crate. The medical bag has health resources, the wooden crate has random items and i don't know what's in the locked crate yet because I don't have a lockpick.
  • Rock: rocks give you copper and iron and I don't know what you can do with those yet.


Tips and Tricks: Don't run around at night because it's very hard to see anything and you'll probably die
