I spent the last few month struggling with the game flow. The original system of explore and base defense has a lot of friction in the last beta testing.

After some attempts to change the game keeping the auto-battle base defense I concluded that both game mechanics can not coexist without problems.

Finally I rip off the auto-battle base defense and give the player a long term goal (Rebuild a radio to ask for help) and more agency (a craft system to build the missing radio part) so the game is a survival-exploration-looting-crafting game.

What's New?

Long-Term Goal:

  • Craft the missing radio part to call for help.

Survival:

  • Keep an eye on your health, energy, food, and water.

  • Find food, water, and helpful items to survive.

  • Return to your base to rest and fully replenish your energy.

Exploration:

  • Break crates on a grid. When you break a few, items will appear.

  • Rotate the grid and move your character to reach the items and put them in your backpack.

  • Each time you break crates, you'll attract different enemies with different attacks.

  • Avoid them while moving or use your weapons to eliminate them.

Loot:

  • Explore various locations on the island with different loot deposits.

  • Each run make the places has a different number of floors and levels.

  • There are common items, basic materials, and crafting blueprints to find.

  • The further you go from the ground floor, the higher your chances of finding blueprints.

Crafting:

  • Find blueprints to learn how to craft items.

  • Recycle weapons, ammunition, and other items to obtain materials.

  • Use the fabrication machine to combine materials into more complex objects.

  • You decide what to make and when.

  • Build the radio missing part to exit the island
