Primal Island Beta 3.0

[deepstrasz]

1. The hero should be automatically selected in the beginning.
2. Sleep's description is unfinished.
3. Feels weird for flying dinosaurs to suddenly stop and remain flying in the air idly. Could be standing down or on a branch or on a perch/cliff/nest somehow if the models have any corresponding animations.
4. Sea Scorpion is small but has a huge selection circle also showing a huge life/mana bar. Same with Diplocaulus, Horseshoe Crab and many other small animals.
5. No info in the quest log about the gameplay and stuff.
6. The crafting blueprint can be created outside the inventory and won't be removed if the inventory is full.
7. Would be nice to have some descriptions for the stuff you craft, what they're good for, some hints which would be best crafted first etc.
8. Could rename the upkeep text to something like: "your food is getting low"; "you're hungry" ; "you're starving".
9. You always seem to start in the same place. Not sure if there's any randomization in what start locations for survivors, dinosaurs and resources are concerned.
10. There's also some chance to die running around trying to find a branch or rarer resources.

For now it's pretty simple compared to others of the genre. Needs polishing too.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Thanks for the feedback, I never have high expectation of this map but I am trying my best, there will be an update maybe next week, Cliff and Natural Disasters while may also fixing some of the problems you mention but really thanks, criticizing can improve the map.

Sorry but how does search on the ground work ? is it casual ? I was looking for a log everywere , couldn't found it. I like the conceptions, but I think it is not playeable at all... I think it would be better to make regions, some with trees and bushere where you can find branches, logs and sticks and some areas where you can only find erbs to eat with probability of 25% maybe... also I think campfire should live longer and you should be abble to add wood to make it burn more(add healthto it). I love the concept, keep working on this map, it has potential !

 

[Trepidation]

I think I did the part where you put log into the campfire and will restore the health points but I did not add it with the sticks and vines so there would be a change, for the search on the ground ability it was set to random like a gamble so it would be more challenging a bit. Herbs as food, I am not sure yet that might do but as recipe for a soup or food that it would certainly make sense as it provides buffs and thanks for the Feedback.
