The 'Escape The Pacific' game is aiming to leave behind the todays standards in survival games. There are many games that are built around more or less complex survival mechanics. The 'Lost in Pacific' will be build around as many as possible survival mechanics available to date. It will try to use a lot of gamers ideas and requirements that were placed over the years and were not fulfilled.

Hi everyone,

the new Escape the Pacific version 'Alpha 15' is now available.

With this update we are beginning to add some new content to make the game more enjoyable. There is a new Water Collector and dead turtles give Turtle Shells and Meat. The turtles' AI has also been upgraded a little. Some issues were also fixed and a couple of functionalities were improved.

The first object of the many which will be added continually is the Water Collector. Next to Coconut Pots it cab be used to catch rain water. It is possible to drink directly from it or to fill empty Coconut Pots. The Water Collector handles the same Wet functionality as other 'wetable' objects - it can dry up on direct Sun on hot days. To be able to collect the rain it must be ensured that it is not built under some roofs or palms fronds.

Turtles found their first real usage: They are providing the needed Turtle Shell for the Water Collector and they are also providing some Meat to allow the players to diversify his eating habit. The turtles are now hiding in their shells when the player hits them.

The usage of campfire is much easier now. We have optimized some functionality and some colliders to ensure the player gets focus on those parts of the Campfire while aiming at it. We have also fixed some Campfire issues to make it more reliable.

We will continue with general rechecking of all of the game features and will fix issues as they appear. The sailing system will also need some tweaking and tuning. We plan to add another possible processing of meat and also a new animal feature. We plan to work on further improving the Crabs AI and make the Turtles AI capable to swim as well as fixing the remaining issues will allow us which will be fixed based on their severity.

Please be aware that during early access phase game code could change as much as affecting gameplay when loading/saving savegames from earlier versions. To always be on the safe side make sure to start a new game with each update. Thank you!
