The Survivalists - Josh_Team17
Welcome Survivalists!

This is your first island orientation, listen closely as this is one of the most important!

Beds!

One of the first things you'll need to set-up to thrive is the humble bed. It's also one of the first things on your crafting tree. On the topic of trees, you will need some palm leaves and grass to craft the most basic 'flimsy bed'. Don't forget to also craft your sheets to go on top, the islands nights are very chilly!



Saving

To save your game in The Survivalists you'll need to first craft one of these beds. Then like any good bed, it likes to be slept in. Once you drift off to sleep for the first time this will then save the game for you. Fancy that!



Rebirth

You'll want to sleep in a bed before you croak in the wilderness - maybe after becoming a tiger's chew toy! Why? Well - when coming around you'll return to the last place you slept and if not you start back where you first shipwrecked on the island. You could have a very long walk, swim or maybe crawl to where you've dropped all your items.



Better Beds!

Upgrading your bed won't just give you a better nights sleep! But those extra winks will make you become stronger, just look at the benefits of a lightweight bed vs a flimsy bed.


Islanders, we hope you've taken in all of these pointers and remember sleep is very important to become a great survivalist.


Sleep to succeed!

Day 2
As dawn arrives, my eyes flutter open. The previous day has made me both excited and worried to explore this unknown island which seems filled with wildlife and mysteries.

First though, Tools! Tools so I can cut down trees myself, to cut through the brambles to get at the fruit in bushes. To begin with, I wander along the beach to gather the necessary materials to make myself a basic axe of sorts.



It takes me a little time to get these materials, but I manage to find them and fashion, after a few attempts, a crude axe. I grasp it and straight away head towards the bushes I saw some berries on, I cut through the brambles and stuff my face full of purple berries.

My hunger is satisfied, so it’s time to start cutting down trees! I want to get enough logs together to at least create a fire, or a table so I can make things easier for myself, and then think about some walls, but I know that will take time to do.

After cutting down a few trees, some of which had some bananas, and after a while I started to hear some noise behind me. My work had clearly attracted something, I gripped the axe harder just in case, ready to swing to find… several monkeys! These adorable creatures that I’ve heard of, and read books about, but had never seen in person.

I was a little excited. I knew they weren’t known to be hostile, cheeky maybe, but friendly. I held out some of the bananas I had gathered and a couple of them came forward to take and eat from me. A few of them stayed back. I thought all monkeys liked bananas but obviously not – I might have to tempt them with something else…

They stayed around and seemed to watch me, but no rest of the wicked! So I went to cut down more trees. It was then I found out, that those who took from me, picked up my spare axes I had left on the floor and started to help me! They started to cut down trees as well!

This. IS. AMAZING!

I take a couple planks of wood that I had shaped, and some other materials and tried to build a table. The monkeys learned this too!



I wonder what else they can do?

This is my first entry, date unknown. How long was I at sea?

I finally washed up on a golden shore and first impressions made it seem like an abandoned island. The waves washed up onto the beach, with lush fauna beyond. The only creature in view was a shark just off the coast, and was that the shadow of a fish..? My stomach cramps with hunger. Am I hallucinating?



Survival was my priority. I needed materials to make tools, which would help me fish and hunt for food, and so, I started to explore.



It wasn’t long until I started to find hints of some life on the island. A cut down tree here, prints on the ground there, I even found a couple of drawings, the first being what seems like another survivor being chased by a tiger.




And another picture of other survivors fighting a boar.



I was excited to find that I might not be alone here after all. I really hoped that they are all friendly, but first I needed to explore some more.

I managed to find a cave, but when I peered in, it was too dark without a light of some sort. I decided to come back to this later, but it wasn’t long until I stumbled upon a village. I peered through the foliage to see some strange inhabitants that looked like…orcs?



I slowly approached as to not startle them, but their inhuman appearance became more apparent with each step. They turned, sneering and growling. No time for niceties as their hostile nature manifested into swipes and stabs towards my body. I dodged, I hid and I ran as they hunted me down, tracking my every move like an apex predator. I managed to make a break for it, my lungs heaving as I escaped with my life…for now.

There did seem to be a mixture of different types of orcs. Some wore some masks, others didn’t. What are they doing here? Are they all hostile? Why do these otherworldly creatures want me dead?

Finally, while trying to find my way back to the coast, as I had gone inland to explore… I found some ghostly apparitions, wandering around… I steered clear as I didn’t want anything to do with it…



I do wonder though, what else is on this island? What other beasts and creatures are there to find? Is it all hostile? Can I escape this island? I have many questions… maybe the answers will come another day.
