Game Journalism: Day 1

Raft


Raft is a survival game where you're stuck on a raft set adrift in a big open sea. You need to find food, drinkable water, and resources to help you survive. The resources can be found floating in the sea next to your raft



You can pick up resources with your hand or hook. There are lots of resources for different things like
 wood

Wood is one of the most important resources you can gather as it is used to cook food, purify water, expand your raft, and build weapons & tools.

Palm Leaves


Palm leaves come in groups of  3 or by themselves. They can be used in making tools like a fishing rod, which can be crucial for getting food while lost at see. They're also used for making pretty much every other tool.

Plastic


Plastic floats by in bottles and corners of red trays or something. They can be used to make a new plastic hook for collecting resources when the one you have breaks or you die. You can also make plastic cups to get saltwater for a purifier so can get clean drinking water. Very important for not dying.

Barrels


BARRELS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. They're full of useful resources like stone (needed for an anchor) or the odd bit of food. they give off a lot of wood and palm leaves, sometimes plastic (all useful for building)


You can collect the debris with your hook (as shown above.) The hook breaks down as you use it with each grab, but you can grab multiple items at a time and can grab items that are farther away. You can also use your hand to grab items as they drift by by pressing 'E' and it automatically goes into your inventory.


There's also a shark that likes to bite you and your raft. To stop it you need to make a spear and stab him when he bites your raft. if you stab it enough it dies and another replaces it.


My Raft




Why did I die?

I died mostly when I didn't have my grill and fishing rod. Since I've gotten those I haven't died much but I still need to make a sail and anchors.
