Game Journalism Day 5: A Beginner's Guide

Game-play Prediction:
 I believe I can at least create a Base Command Module.



What Actually Ended Up Happening:

I only got halfway to crafting the Base Command Module by the end of my first in game day.

Basic Survival Guide for Subsistence:

Introduction: 
Now to anyone who reads this I by no means am telling you how to play as personally, I find that your play style is completely dependent upon your situation from when you first spawn in to when you are at the beginning of your first night. Also by no means am I any good at this game as I am a high school student who as only played for one week.  

Your First Day:
You just spawned into your game and are now running around looking at everything getting every resource you can find and run into a wolf, "Oh" you think,"I have a gun, how about I just shoot it" only to find that one, your gun is only loaded with one bullet and two it does pretty much no damage whatsoever and you die. Well firstly remember to press the 'R' key to reload your gun and that enemies have different levels, so pay attention use 'C' to Crouch so that you can sneak by but do not get to close. Also re guarding the levels of enemies, the indicator for it is a little buggy so you may need to move your camera around a bit to see it. remember to press 'G' to open your inventory and to gather enough wood to make a campfire so that you can keep warm at night. Locate creates to get the necessary materials to make a Base Command Module as well as find matches to light your fire with at night time.

Game Journalism: Day 2 Resources

Subsistence has many resources throughout it such as:

Trees:

From chopping these big trees with your ax you can get 3-4 chunks of wood to use for crafting while from small/thin trees you can only get one chunk.

Ores:

 There is many ores throughout the map and can be harvested with your ax or a pickax to yeld 2 ore chunks  . Such ores such as: Copper, Potassium, Iron and more.

Plants:

There are several plants throughout the game such as Medical Plants, Fiber Plants, Blue Berry Plants, and more.

Animals: W.I.P

Daily tip: Stay away from bears: Create a Base Command Module to find your base and create more advanced things.

Game Journalism Day: 1

Necessities of Life:

Things that you need to survive in this thing we call 'Life':

1. Food, everyone has to eat to live you know.
2. Water, an average adult's body is 60% water so this quite important to maintain.
3. Shelter, you have to protect yourself from the elements you know, like rain and snow.
4. Clothing, got to keep warm outside in the cold.
5. Air, this should be obvious.

The meaning of the game's title:

 Subsistence: maintaining one's self at the bare minimum level.


The game: Subsistence is quite like many other survival games  such as Arma 3 but has it primary focus on surviving in the plain old wilderness with little to nothing. You start with an ax, a glow stick, a apple, some water, and a very low powered handgun with only 8 bullets to your name.

 
What games I would compare 'Subsistence' to: Arma 3, DayZ (minus the Zombies), and Rust.

This game is in early access so things are subject to extreme re-balancing and change as it worked on further.

Tips For Day One: Stay away from the bears and wolves as they can kill you near instantly, Crouch to sneak up on chickens and rabbits as well as sneak passed the bears and wolves don't get to close though. The game's tip for day 1:
