Last Day of Game Journalism

Question 1: How to play the game?

Answer 1: First of it's a survival game so you'll have to be quite strategic about your approach to the game. You collect wood from tress, collect crafting supplies, food, and ammunition from crates and bags left all around the map and use those supplies to make a house, better clothing, ammunition, and medical supplies. If you're able to make a house raiders will start to appear in the game so you'll have to defend yourself or attack their camps to survive.

Question 2: Did I encounter AI raiders? Yes or No. Why or why not.

Answer 2: I didn't encounter any raiders, because i would die to early into the game and wouldn't have a house made for raiders to loot. I'm almost certain that you will need a house for raiders to spawn in and become a threat. 

Question 3: If I were to start over, how much progress can i make in 30 minutes now knowing how to play?

Answer 3: So after i played 30 minutes I never really progressed, for some reason I was unable to place my wooden walls down to make my house, all I did was survive about one and a half days until I just gave up and gave myself to a wolf. My screenshots didn't process through fraps so I was unable to capture screenshots. 

 

Game Journalism Day 2

Question 1: What did I do?
Answer 1: So what i did for the 45 minutes of play time was collect wood, and find bags with valuable resources. I didn't want to attempt to challenge a bear or wolf, so i took on much smaller animals like a rabbit and chicken. I wasn't able to make myself a house, but was able to make a campfire to keep warm.

Question 2: What did i do wrong?
Answer 2:  What i did wrong was when i first loaded the game up i tried killing a wolf thinking i could kill if without any difficulties, which i was very wrong and instead i died. Another thing i did wrong was not make use of my resources, which i made a whole load of sticks, and not wooden planks to make a base.

Question 3: Tips
Answer 3: Don't kill wolves/ bears unless you're fully geared up for it. You click G to open up your inventory and R to reload your gun. You only get one wood block for every chop you do.

Question 4: My opinion of the game
Answer 4: My opinion of this game is neutral, as i like some assets like how it runs and plays, but some negatives like the gun shooting is a little sloppy, and the amount of wild animals that can kill you is a little TO much, but all in all it an alright game, note that this game is just a pre alpha and it's not the full release. So for a pre alpha its pretty good.

Question 5: What happened today in the game?
Answer 5: Nothing much actually, all i did was collect wood for fire/ to make a house, search for bags for loot, and killed two chickens for a meal later.
