Survival Snippets #43

Who knew databases were so big??

❗ Noteworthy

• An announcement from the development team behind Zelter is kicking up a bit of community fuss and drama. While they explained the reasoning behind the choice, players- and backers- are mad since the game has seen little development news since mid-2022.

🌲 Hashtag Survival

▻ Our latest Acquired Tastes newsletter featured Romain, developer of Derelicts.

POI: Romain

▻ Second Rambles was huuuge and featured a sneak peek of some stuff in the works. Plus a behind-the-scenes snippet of Becca and me out in the wilds of an apple festival.

Rambles #2

▻ So I mentioned last time that I was scrapping the old WordPress game directory that Hashtag used to utilize. We’ve had it a long time! This is a huge work in progress, but I’m considering using Notion to house the database with slightly different filters and notes. You can view the work-in-progress database at this link.
Remember that each game card is incomplete unless the card face says Page Status: Complete. I’m the furthest along on the dead/abandoned games, but I hope to finish the other stuff soon. Feedback is incredibly welcome, so hop into the comments or contact me on Discord.

• Interesting snippet from the team behind Mr.Prepper. In a nutshell: they added a few minigames to Mr.Prepper, shelved the idea of adding DLC to Mr.Prepper in favor of working on Mr.Prepper 2, and they’re making a new game “Mr. Nomad is a survival base-building, tower defense game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Set a fortified base around your camper, craft, endure brutal zombie raids, hide what is precious to you in an underground bunker, and embark on dangerous missions in search of resources.”

• My nerdy bag/EDC side is digging the detail on this backpack carry in The Gold River Project. Appreciate the molle rows on the front, and there’s another picture that shows a cup hanging from the side of the bag. Still very much a work in progress, and I am interested in seeing how it shapes up.
