GJ Day 3 IT 9 - Kevin

                                                   What happened today in-game 

Today, I was attempting to create a camp. What I would need is plenty of wood, fiber, and nails. It would take sometime collecting all materials, but it would definitely be useful.

During my hunt for PLENTY of wood, I have gone a very long way, but eventually got killed. I learned that if you're in an area with many of wild animals that can kill you, best bet would be to back off and go to another moderate environment. Other than that, it would be a waste of time engaging.

While collecting wood, and trying to find materials, it eventually became night time, but I realized that I shouldn't had kept woodcutting, rather build a camp fire, and woodcut very close to your fire. At the same time, you can not freeze to death, and survive a night, awaiting day light to come out and ready to continue your journey.


KEY IDEAS TO SURVIVE A DAY.

WOODCUTTING, VERY USEFUL AS YOU CAN BUILD A FIRE TO SURVIVE NIGHT.



DON'T ENGAGE AT ALL! IT'S NOT WORTH IT! BUILD A CAMP! WOODCUT!

Also, if you see a rabbit don't chase it, as it will lure you to a much more dangerous area. Keep doing what you were originally doing. As long as it wasn't fighting a bear.

                                  My Experience playing Subsistence for the FIRST Time.

Going into Subsistence for the first time was a fun, yet interesting game. There were moments where I messed up, but eventually got it to work. This game felt fairly realistic! Just didn't know the correct way to play the game. Here are some notes I've taken.

                                                 

                                                           What Did I do Right?

There were a couple of things I did correctly, such as opening the inventory using the "G" on the keyboard, and collecting stray items, by clicking "F". I also learnt that you can shoot your gun using the left side of your mouse, and aim using the right side of your mouse. You can use the same concept by chopping down wood.




             What Did I do Wrong?

There were many times I messed up, probably more than what I did correctly. I've gotten killed by wild animals such as the bear and wolf, and wasn't aware that if you got near to them, they would chase after you. I also stumbled upon mountains and cold areas, which I have been hurt, not knowing that I would freeze to death.












Tips & Tricks! (EZ)

F Is a Command you can use to Pick up Items! (LOOT, WOOD, ETC)
G is a Command to Open INVENTORY.
Right Click to SHOOT GUN, OR SWING AXE. (TO GET WOOD, OR TO KILL)
Left Click to AIM GUN (FOR BETTER RANGE AND ACCURACY)


                                    My opinion on this game during DAY 1

Overall, this game has been quite fun! I definitely had a great learning experience, and will head into Day 2 much more informed about everything. This game is very realistic, and I will need to use a strategic mindset heading into this game.

What type of game is this, and what other games can it compare to?

Subsistence is an open-world survival game, and it can compare to many types of games on the internet. One game that came to mind was DayZ. Both games require a strategic mindset to survive, such as finding food, and ammunition to prepare for any attacks. They can both be played in a multiplayer fashion, so you can form alliances.

What does it mean by "Early Access?"

Early Access is a stage where you can legally pay to play a work in progress product or a finished product of a game before it's release worldwide. Many large companies give out early access to certain people, ie; such as the recent Call of Duty.

Features of the Game:

Crafting Mechanics
Dynamic Base Building
Weapon Upgrade System
Mining Minerals/Resources
AI Hunters/AI Base
Farming
Animal Husbandry
Food Cooking Mechanics
Character Clothing System
World day-night System










What's the First THING you should do?

Definitely search for any common survival kits, such as water, food, or potential ammunition, and start finding and supplies you could possibly use to create any type of shelter.

Friday Post IT 9 - Kevin NOVEMBRE ONZE 2016

                                                   

 This Friday was a very productive, yet a very challenging assignment. I've learned how to use new Photoshop tools to create a Halloween pumpkin, and a creepy hand involving a hand and an eye.

Which Layer Style Tool did I use to create the Iris?

I used the "Pen Tool"  to create the iris on the creepy hand. I found it  much easier than using the gradient overlay to create it because it just felt like it was my style. I made approximately 8 eyes involving and iris, and tried my best to change it up and make it a creative finish.

JTN stands for Jeton, which is referring to a token for a coffee machine.
