Game Journalism Play 4

1. If I were to start over.

1. Collect any and all resources with the hook
2. Try and add more surface area to the raft
3. Make a water purifier
4. Build a basic grill and place both water purifier and grill in the center of the raft
5. Make a cup to collect water
6. Craft the fishing rod and fish
7. Collect enough food to not worry about it for awhile
8. Any raft of island try and make it to it by building a paddle
9. Build a research table
10. Expand the raft more with a sail and second floor

2. What is the best tool(s) for survival

I picked these because the hook itself is essential and defending from the shark is always needed as it never stops permanently

Game Journalism Day 4 - Upgrades

This is the first version of the grill and water purifier

This is the best version of both the grill and water purifier reason why I made these is that both make it so that I don't have tyo use as much fuel

This the base chest that holds a smaller amount on the left than the upgraded version which is on the right

The hook is great to upgrade as its more efficient and more durable 

Also as soon as you can you should put foundation armor on your collectors as they make it more durable from shark attacks

and finally the spear I upgraded because it takes less hits to kill the shark with it that and its way more durable

1.  Comment about your work ethic

My work effort this year I feel has been similar to my previous years in where I do well in assignments that enjoy more than others.Over all 65%

2. Which assignments did I enjoy

My favorite assignments were the Sketch-up projects I never knew I enjoyed creating just little rooms or models of things and with Sketch-up its just easy to use and learn most of the time. Least favorite assignments is the game journalism for me anyway that and video slides I'm just bored of survival based games and the video slides were just very simple and I didn't learn anything new from doing it.

3. Which assignments did you struggle with and why

Probably premiere pro just didn't understand some things always found myself googling how to do anything on premiere. 

Game Journalism Day 3 - Build something New

Today I built a collector

The purpose of the collector is to set it up to what direction you go in as this will now be able to collect junk that goes usually under your raft.

Another thing is that you should try to place as many of these on one side of the boat to increase the surface area of the collectors.

Tomorrow I plan to make a smelter by diving near islands and collecting lots of clay/sand.

Game Journalism Day 1 - The Basics

The Basic Idea

          In the game raft you are given the job of surviving and expanding on your raft through collecting the debris trough a vast ocean.

How to collect debris:

In this game you are able to collect debris through one of two ways...

The best is to use hook:                                          

Or using the E key on the keyboard to simply pickup items:

My Progress:

Debris and their use:

Planks-

Plastic-

Leafs-

Red/Blue Plastic-

Barrels-

How the Shark works:

The shark will attack once every 5 minutes and will bite off a piece of your raft if you fall into the water the shark will attack you. To repel the shark use a spear to stab it as it is out of the water.

To stay alive:

To stay alive prioritize making a water purifier and and grill to cook food and to make sea water into freshwater.

Also after or before making a water purifier make a plastic cup to actually collect water. 

Raft Game Journalism

        Started off using my hook to collect things such as wood, plastic, leaves and scrap metal and eventually made myself a bed.As well as a  water purifier and a grill after those were made I floated around a little longer fishing with a rod I made and found a raft that I boarded looted and then left before it sunk.Besides doing a little more fishing and defending myself from the shark I decided to save the world and log off the game.

I did not know you could make anchors and that is what I used to loot a raft to make my raft stop moving with the current of the water.

I'm just going to focus on just collecting enough to make new things in the game like collectors and working on my base raft by making the foundation of the raft stronger with the different materials.
