3 happy. 3 crash island and 3 find food.I created an account to post this.
This thread inspired me to download Stranded, after looking for over two days and unsuccessfully trying to "survive" on Minecraft I decided to give this a try. The thing that inspired me to look for a survival game was a recent show called "Marooned With Ed Stafford" which was basically like this game, the guy, Ed, is dropped off in a remote island in the Pacific and has to survive for sixty days. He survived alright and then he started going to other places, Romanian Mountains, Bornea, Australia and much more. After his last survival experience which was the last he was going to do I just decided to survive on Minecraft, which after five minutes doesn't work that well.
So I searched around "Cast away game" and found a "The Island: Castaway" from which I played the free trial and enjoyed it but it wasn't free roam, you were following a set story. So, I searched some more "Survival Island Games" and then in the images I saw the home page for Stranded, I had seen it a year earlier and wondered if it was any good, but back then I had the mentality that the graphics had to be awesome or no play the game. So this time I downloaded it, I started the Adventure and straight away got stuck, so I found this thread. It basically got me off the ground from hands, to axe to machete.
I watched a video of the adventure and completely ruined it for myself so I decided to go for a random island. All these islands just weren't right, I tried creating a island as I create maps on Minecraft [Created a cool Europe map
] but it wasn't really working, would have to get a height map which I didn't have the time to make. So after reading this whole forum I was following your [Deon's] progress on the map, but after trying most the download links and them failing I nearly gave up. Then the last download link I downloaded. I celebrated, even though it was 2am and after unzipping it I opened the game. I didn't know how to load the map, xD, so I went into load game which were survivals of Deon so I just left them, then I went into map editor and finally found the map. I tried to open it but an error kept coming up, I tried every version of it but still no luck. While writing this I decided to play one of your saves, I played the latest Deon2, t'was cool, killed off the giant spider easily with a knife, just ran in a circle hitting it's back. Then I looted all the iron. The steep cliffs can be ran up in a matter of seconds.... sadly so the spider attacked me in the hut. I then went out into the frost plain, which seemed a little flat like it was off the map or something so after consulting the map beside the gun I headed out for the gold. Got the event message for gold and mined around ten nuggets then I headed off for the village. The female villagers look really cool and it was fun going around to the villagers and buying stuff. I went to the chieftain because I had been poisoned by the spider and tried to buy some medicine but had ate all the meat keeping myself alive xD so I walked out of his hut and found the first aid.
and then went back into his hut and found a healing potion. I headed off, with no poison and decided to climb the volcano. When I got to the top I was a bit disappointed to see no lava [You could make it like a pool of water but re-texture the water and then add a lot of sharks and piranha's so that if you take a dive you die.]. I then headed into the jungle and killed a monkey, I heard the foot steps and me being a bit paranoid took out the gun, I was looking around when I saw off in the trees something, one of your raptor type animals, running off I decided to chase it. I ran after it and was slowly closing in, it didn't seem to notice me but I don't know if this was just a coincident, it put itself behind a poisonous plant, while I was running at it. I didn't notice the plant and hit it, it then turned and in two hits I was dead... I then came back to writing this
. So after failing to get the map up I went onto unreal world, this was sort of fun, I had to look at a guide which was slightly hard to follow and then in the end killed myself. Started another char and killed myself. Then on the third char I actually found out what I was doing wrong and started the guide again, this time getting good until it said tracking. I couldn't find an animal and when I did it just ran away at first site.... So I just ran as fast as I could as far away as possible and then I got tired and slept, when I woke up I found a village, not that far from me so I went there. I went into a house and took all the stuff, I had been hungry and found food. Satisfied with my gain and not knowing the repercussions I headed off only to be stopped by an angry axe man. I told him I was robbing his stuff and he started to kick me. I was locked in the crawl position and didn't know how to stand so I had my rock and kept on hitting him in the legs. After around twenty minutes of this three other guys all armed with swords or knifes came over and two minutes later I got knocked out. They took all my stuff and at 85% injury I couldn't move so I just killed myself, which ended my night of fun.
I'm gonna go play Stranded again and either use one of my height maps from Minecraft or just play on Island 1 in story mode. I'd say I'll make a custom island
