Untitled Survival Game - Feedback Wanted

Big update coming this week. I've just spent the last 3 hours connecting all the paths to the new part of the map. Once the bridges open there will be over 50 additional areas to explore.
 
Lets go hunting bunnies and squirrels with a craftable bow and arrow... latest updates.

18/01/2021
  • Update: Design tweaks and a few costmetic changes.
  • Update: Connecting paths to the other 60 locations on the map.
  • Add: New recipes for cooking along with new food sources.
  • Add: Bow and Arrow can be crafted to hunt with in certain areas.
  • New: Campfire burns down.
  • New: Add fuel to your camp fire.
17/01/2021
  • Update: Design tweaks to buttons, icons, mobile layout.
  • Add: Option to take a break to regain some energy. Without a shelter there was currently no method to regain energy.
  • New: If you're hunger and/or thirst are below a certain threshold you will start to lose health when doing any kind of activity.
  • New: If you're hunger and/or thirst are above a certain threshold you will start to gain health when resting.
 
  • Vertical location of the "Required" and Energy box varies depending on the amount of lines text in the Search * selection boxes.
  • I'd make a dark theme, or something darker simply because everything is very bright.
  • Design and layout is nice, but my experience of these types of games is Urban Dead and I think another one.
    Are you allowed to use "Pepsi"?
  • "You found 2 Oats", i think i'm sorted for food :D
  • On craft page, I'd have a number showing how many of the items you have, and how many of the ingredients you have.
  • "You crafted Bow" I'd throw in an "a" depending on the item.
my thoughts so far!
Edit: Also looks cool

Nice feedback. Yeah a few people have suggested a dark theme so that's on the cards.

I'll look at sorting the other stuff out too. Thanks.

NP. Doesn't need to be a dark theme (though i do like them!), but I was tempted to reach to my monitor and turn down the brightness, laziness won over though :D

Edit:

  • Under search shops "Your unlikely to find any fresh food", should be You're
  • On sidebar - "Travelled: 1 miles", replace with mile
  • I'd suggest upon eating/drinking something, don't make the page go back to the top. I like the notification bar at the top showing me I've regained x/y/z/ food/drink/energy from eating raspberries, but when you do it a couple of a times it makes you need to scroll back down to them after each one. Maybe make the green bar float down from the top? No idea how hard that is, or if that's the best idea.
  • Under Rabbit in backpack: "Raw meats need cooking before it can be eaten." - I think this should read "Raw meat needs cooking before it can be eaten" or "Raw meats need cooking before they can be eaten", though I'd double check with someone.
I don't think I've broken anything yet :p

There's 2 options here really for the issue with the long page and eating/drinking.
  1. The page jumps back down to where you were and has the notification floating.
  2. The page submits in place (using Ajax) and returns a notification bar that way.
A little bit of work is involved in both, but not too much. I'll add it to the greater list of life improvements.
 
When dropping items, you have the option of either dropping one or all. Is there a way to:
1. repick the items you have dropped ? (I tried searching the area again and that didnt get the same items)
2. Have an option to select a number to drop ie 50 out of 100 instead of having to click drop 50 times etc. ?
 
Doesn't seem to be my type of game, or I might not be in the mood for it today, but it's really cool and wish I had the skills to do something similar!

Could be a great for when you're stuck somewhere with just a phone and some time to kill, will definitely bookmark and follow the progress and jump on every now and again :)

Yeah, I'm still in the process of balancing the items. You shouldn't ever really need to have 50 items of one thing in your bag.

In other news, the Bridges have just been built opening up all 60 tiles on the map. I plan to add another 40 in a later phase so make it an even 100.

I still need to work through the all the location descriptions.
 
I was having a bit of a tidy up and a giggle at some of the names people used to test with. Some were funny, some were rude, some were downright offensive. "dieyouc***" for example. Good work. I'm sorry that you found my game so offensive.
