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.
