Hello ROBLOX! I want to officially announce a new game that myself, and YourLocalFaxMachine are working on.
We are making a game where there will be islands, and people need to survive by hunting, fishing, mining, crafting, farming, building, cutting trees, etc...
_____________________________________________________________________________
So how will it be different than any other survival game, like "Survival 303" for instance?
- Way bigger map, and made with more parts, and without lag.
- There will be very nice GUI's and very smooth gameplay.
- It will be easy to learn, and easy to play, however it may be challenging to survive.
- Dynamic weather, day/night cycle, dynamic lighting, and more!
- There will not only be islands to explore, but an ocean floor you can explore as well!
The way we are planning this game:
- 8 islands spread out, and 6 players per server, so it is hard to find people.
- Each island will have their own advantages and disadvantages.
- Each island has their own dangers, and there own benifits.
- And we may add things like tribes/clans, but it would be in a later version of this game.

the first thing i thought of when i read the title was Don't Starve... were you guys inspired by that game or am i just being silly |
|
|
Nope, you are exactly right!
Inspired by many different games, but we mainly used "Don't Starve" for the name idea of "Don't Die".
Other games that inspired us:
-The classic ROBLOX series of Survival 101/202/303/404.
-Minecraft in a way, but not really.
-Dayz in a way, but again not really.
So basically take "Don't Starve", and mix it with Survival 303, and that will be our game, pretty much! :P |

sounds like a good idea but 6 players per server? with a huge map? that'll be ridiculous. and the average tribe would only be like 2 people
~i like slugs~ |
|
|
I agree with 3kun. There should be more players or you will never find anyone in a map as large as what you describe. |

you're not supposed to find players that much |
|
|
Yes, but there is only going to be 8 islands.
So with 6 players it makes finding people hard, and it will actually feel like a survival game...
And in fact, the whole thing about tribes/clans, you are right, we will not have that, rather players can still kill you if you come across eachother if they have the proper weapons.
So that is how it is like Dayz, is that you won't be sure if a player is trustworthy or not. |

will we be able to go insane
i wanna go insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane |
|
|
Well, I thought of that as well. And as cool as that would be, it would be VERY hard to implement in our game.
For the first version of our game, people will just need to look after:
-Health
-Thirst
-Hunger
-Stamina
Later on we may add insanity though, if it works okay. But you won't see it in the first release of the game. |
|
|
Insanity is a weird thing to think about... How would it be implemented? Would your stats decrease faster? Would your Walk Speed fluctuate? Would your character go on random fits and tantrums without your consent or control? These are neat things to think about... |

When will the game comes out? |
|
|
The game doesn't have an official release date yet, but we are going to make most of it this summer, so it will either come out directly after summer, or maybe ever later...
So anytime between September - December 2013. |
|
|
But looking at things, I think we're aiming mainly for September. |

Well read the first post. We are basically making this a perfected version of all the others with way more things to do. |

... i forgot completely about that part. :x |
|
|
Haha, oh by the way if any of you are GTA fans, 3 new trailers got released today!
<3
I am so excited for GTA 5 it's not even funny! :P |
|
|
On top of this we are also going to have a new game in the series, based on a nuclear fallout.
That is all I will say for now. |
|
|
|
So, based a little of minecraft, correct?
What is the first thing to get, and should there be a GUI to help you learn? |
|
|
In a way it's based off minecraft. But VERY much different. Yes there will be a tutorial to help players learn how to play. |
