Hey, thanks for your feedback! I've seen this come up a few times, and I don't know if I quite agree with the thinking along these lines because it is very conventional. Survival games are about emergent gameplay. They are not a race to consume gated content like your standard MMO. Therefore, there is not supposed to be a "late game" or "end game."

In any case, you wouldn't see brick houses or machines in Diverted because our design philosophy is centered on what we call "fun realism." In a nutshell, this means everything in the game will have to be believable within the setting, all crafting recipes will have to be fairly realistic, and all mechanics and the simulation will be similar to the real world but tweaked slightly for fun.

Thanks for your feedback! It's definitely much more than that. Both of those games are single player, although The Forest recently got added co-op. Diverted will be a persistent multiplayer open world survival game. There are many other differences, including theme, content, setting, gameplay mechanics and overall design philosophies.

Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ and you'll be one of the first to know what's happening with Diverted. We'll likely do some Twitch streams leading up to our Kickstarter, but we won't be releasing a playable build until afterward. Pre-alpha access will be a Kickstarter reward. Once we reach alpha, our game will be available via Steam Early Access.

Hey NinjaNugget, are you sure you meant to post this question on our page? We've only been on IndieDB since the second half of January so you couldn't have been following us for almost 2 months. We're also not on ModDB as this is a standalone game.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, rafts (and islands) are part of the vision. As are bears. The Edge was a great movie. :)

Thanks, SniperCharlie! Hey, you may even enjoy playing the game alone if you started your own dedicated server, as we aim to make the AI very compelling, so don't rule it out yet!

Thanks! Keep a watch on this space!

Thanks! Stay tuned! There's more exciting stuff on the way!
