Not me Chris but it does look pretty tempting

I bought it on Friday. Finally a survival game without supernatural elements! It definitely has potential and I especially like the Pacific setting.

However I would advise to wait at least till the next update before considering buying it. Currently the game is lacking a bit of content and I'm also encountering the disappearing raft bug, which is pretty critical.

I haven't bought it yet, but I have seen videos on it. It looks really cool, I probably will get it at some point.

I will say that it really reminds me of castaway, from what I've seen.

Funny I was looking at this last night, it looks good

Dowly · 01-26-15, 10:09 PM

Bought it during the weekend. It's pretty good.

Alright, the review of it as the "Tom Hanks Simulator" definitely increased my interest in it

It is quite fun, Jim. All be it slow type game play but time is all you have on a deserted island.

For being out out the box unfinished it is quite good graphically. And yes, don't eat, drink or look after your health you die.

Yes it is lacking content, however, for what it has now I would suspect the forthcoming content to be creative. I too have the magically disappearing life raft bug as well. But, build a raft with wood!

You do get WILSON! It is very much like Castaway.

For $15.00 I think it was worth. Might get a bit repetitive. Then again, most games are repetitive.

Yes sir. Much like the movie. The first time I played, day 2, I had Wilson the volley ball.

Changes needed IMO:
-too many sharks. Reduce the number. Dump the music when a shark appears
-repair raft bug
-provide a free roam camera
-show shadow of character. Currently the shadow only shows what the character is carrying.

Nice thoughts Chris. The price is certainly right and as you mention more content should be coming. As well most likely the bugs should be addressed, especially the spawning

Penguin · 01-27-15, 02:38 PM

The first hotfix will be available soon: https://twitter.com/BEAMTeamGames/st...63206521970688

As it seems this will address the raft bug and the "land sharks".

AVGWarhawk · 01-27-15, 02:39 PM

What is funny to me was the fact of me getting bored sitting on a island(not bored playing the game mind you). I have exhausted the islands raw materials. Nothing but crabs walking the beach. Have not made a spear for fishing. No materials to do so. Busy eating potato plants. I have no wood to make a fire and cook the crab. Eating the crab raw makes me barf. There is a vessel beached just off shore. I can't get into the darn thing to investigate. I'm thinking to myself, I have ALL the time in the world because...well...I'm simply stranded on a island. There of course are other islands to "swim" too but you know what? I can do that tomorrow...no rush. Nothing timed here. I sit at the edge of the beach hoping to see smoke on the horizon. Only thing is...I'm not in a submarine.

It might be my rescue if there is smoke on the horizon.

Great! I did have land sharks last time I played. The darn dorsal fin was cruising the sand on the beach.

I see good possibilities with this game. It is similar to SIMS in some respects.

Great. The long dark has wolves. This one has sharks.

Dowly · 01-28-15, 01:07 PM

What I really want to see is larger islands to explore. Add in some waterfalls, lagoons, caves and all that good stuff.
