Survius - Multiplayer Open World Survival Game (Open Alpha available!)

I've added a first version of a hunting system. It's pretty basic so far.

The game now includes three types of deer, which can detect you (you're harder to detect when you crouch). As soon as you get too close and they see you, they take off. When a gun is fired they will also flee in the opposite direction of where that sound is coming from. This last behavior might be useful for hunting with friends.

Here's a short demo of the basic hunting.

 

You can now grill the raw meat you gather from hunting deer on a campfire. To create a campfire, all you need (for now) is 4 logs, which you can find scattered on the island. Opening the campfire interface you are presented with 4 meat slots.

Clicking an empty slot will place raw meat from your inventory in that slot. Clicking an occupied slot will place that meat back into your inventory.

As soon as you add raw meat, a timer starts. After a short while your raw meat will be grilled meat, which you can then eat.

Here's a short video demo:

 

Survius is now in Open Alpha.

I encourage you all to try out the game and provide me feedback.

Here are some screenshots:

I've tried the demo and it looks interesting (I like the concept so much). By the way, I found so hard picking up objects. You should increase the "picking up" area around the pointer.

 

Glad you like it! It's not a demo by the way, it's an alpha version. I update the game every 5 days or so.

And for the pickup I use the collider of the object. I found that to be the best method, but I'm open for suggestions.

 

You could add a sphere or rectangle (depends on its shape) sensor centered in the object so if the pointer collides with the sphere you'll able to get the object. To avoid getting objects out of line of sight (maybe an object behind a wall) but whith their sphere/rectangle sensor on sight, you could launch raycasts to some points of the object (for instance, corners and center).
