Plus my recent H1Z1 addiction. Hello survivors! I recently started up a twitch stream for those who are interested in that kinda thing.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.twitch.tv/zargo1z" target="_blank">Watchsurvival Twitch</a><br />
<br />
I won't have no regular schedule or nothing but most of the time my playing times will be mid to late afternoon. I will be streaming a lot of H1Z1 most likely but I will stream 7 Days, The Forest, The Long Dark ect as well. Which brings me to the second point of this post!<br />
<br />
H1Z1 is awesome! Seriously, I'm having a blast. So much so in fact that I've still not posted a survival list update because I can't stop playing the game. I've been playing it almost every day since the launch day. The devs have been really great with updates and community feedback and they have the game rolling in the right direction. I try not to be biased here on Watchsurvival but I will be honest I'm enjoying the game a ton more than Dayz mod or Dayz Stand Alone. H1Z1 has been built from the ground up to handle this genre and SOE has the means and the developers to make it into something great. Please don't let the cheesy reviews scare you away from this one, there has been a lot of feedback from idiots trying to say this game is pay2win and that is simply not true which they would realize have they actually played the game in the first place before bashing it. Trust me I can't stand pay 2 win titles and I would not be playing this game if it was. Most other negative comments have already been worked out of the game as the game is indeed early access and many things need to be added and tweaked. I sort of wish steam would not allow for reviews on early access titles because as I said most negative reviews are about things that simply need adjusting because it is a game in Alpha, but I understand why they do it. <br />
<br />
I'll end this post with a quick video of me and my wife and another close friend taking a truck some of you might find amusing!<br />

Lot of good hopefuls this year. H1Z1 Starts early access on steam tomorrow. I am looking forward to that. Project Zomboid just keeps getting better and better and I'm currently having a blast with the latest build of that as well. I've also been enjoying The Long Dark, it is quite nice.

The Long Dark , Still Alive, H1Z1Hello and well met survival fans! I have updated the Survival game list to include a few more games headed our way! I may not post much news as of late but I am indeed still trying to keep the survival games list updated which is the reason most of you are here anyways. I really recommend following Watchsurvival on Facebook if you want to see updates for games and what most of them are currently up to as it is much easier to follow updates there from the different developers and games. Thanks everyone! Keep surviving out there!<br />
<br />

The Long Dark<br />

<br />
The Long Dark seems to be getting a lot of buzz right now and is being talked about as being a great survival game that will be more based on actual survival than most other games out there. I am really looking forward to see this game take shape and see which direction it goes in. <br />
<br />
Still Alive<br />

Still Alive seems to be a great little 2d based multiplayer survival game. <br />
<br />
H1Z1<br />

H1Z1 probably doesn't need much introduction by now unless you are living under a rock. As an avid gamer of Everquest for years and a personal fan of SOE online games, I cannot tell you how excited I am for this game. I am really looking forward to it and I believe it may be the zombie survival MMO that I honestly wanted Dayz to be. I am trying to not jump on the hype train to keep myself from getting disappointed but I really hope this game is everything SOE is claiming that it will be.

Hello and well met everyone! I wanted to make a quick post here to let everyone know about a new upcoming survival game that's recently made it's way to Kickstarter. The developers contacted me and asked if I would let everyone know about there game and after seeing the trailer and looking at the Kickstarter campaign, how could I not?<br />
<br />
The game is called Still Alive and it's a qoute "2D Multiplayer Platformer PVP Survival Game for PC, Mac & Linux." The art direction looks really cool and different from what is out there and it sure does have a lot of really cool survival elements. The page can be found at the link below and they have also listed Stretch Goals and rewards and many more other things. Check it out it may be something all of you fellow survival fans are interested in. I will perhaps post more updates later about this one as development continues. <br />

Hello and well met! Had a few minutes to spare and thought I would post a quick spot about two of my recent favorite games giving out even more updates.<br />
<br />
Project Zomboid Monday status update is out and let's us know what is going on. Seems like some good map working is in development and Items and loot are getting bug fixed and improved. Check it out below.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
7 Days to Die is also releasing updates faster and faster recently. Their Alpha 4 update is already ready to go and I just posted about Alpha 3 not long ago. This update adds some cool melee weapons and new recipes for the crafting system and also a good mix of bug fixes as well. Check out the patch notes below or read my copy and paste.<br />

7 Days to Die<br />
<h2>
Official Alpha 4 Release Notes</h2>
<strong>Added</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Added scrap metal recipes from candy tins, air filters, and hub caps</li>
<li>Added new feature for preview position and rotation for placing
blocks. Before placing a block a semi-transparent preview of the block
is displayed and player can rotate it using LMB</li>
<li>Added Femur bone club\crafting item</li>
<li>Added Hunting Knife</li>
<li>Added Bone Shiv</li>
<li>Added recipe for bone shiv</li>
<li>Added recipe for hunting knife</li>
<li>Added femur to zombie & deer loot</li>
<li>Added hunting knife to loot</li>
<li>Added new block rotate sound set</li>
<li>The“empty glass” can now also be filled with water at toilets</li>
</ul>
<strong>Changes</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Reduced polygon density on the barbed wire fence trap, candy tin
landmine, hub cap landmine and air filter landmine for better
performance and to keep people from reaching max vertices in a chunk</li>
<li>When pressing the ALT key in 3rd person the camera can be moved
freely around the player. Old state was: when shooting it was shot
through the screen middle. New state: the crosshair is removed and
shooting is done along the players view</li>
<li>When the Z menu is opened, the full text search is auto selected and the old entered text is cleared</li>
<li>Increased time that zombies play their roam sounds</li>
<li>Increased block damage on explosions to allow better TNT chain reactions</li>
<li>The turn speed of entities (like zombies or stag) is now dependent on their speed: the faster they move the faster they turn</li>
<li>Increased colliders for inventory slots so that horizontally there
is no space any more. Vertically there is still a small gap in the bag</li>
<li>Spikes can now be placed only on a solid cube. So stacking of spikes isn’t possible</li>
</ul>
<strong>Bug Fixes</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Fixed problem that chunk could not be saved when building a column > 190 blocks</li>
<li>Configure Controls: fixed bug that “left shift” and “right shift” were not selectable</li>
<li>Fixed problem that when placing a bedroll/bed the other block was
removed without a check. This could be abused for fast mining. Also set
the orientation of a bed correctly</li>
<li>Fixed problem that when running a server for a long time and the
entity ids get greater than 16 bit, no player was able to connect to the
server any more</li>
<li>Added delay to food items so they don’t disappear until used</li>
</ul>
<strong>Known Issues</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Animals get knocked back quite far when hit</li>
<li>When you light a pipebomb and don’t throw it, it will explode but
the pipebomb is not “deleted”/removed from your inventory. If you die,
all of them are dropped, including the one that exploded.</li>
<li>Stability on Bridges are still a little weak in the middle</li>
<li>Players can sometimes get stuck in small vertical spaces less than 2 blocks high like on top of a cinder block or trash pile</li>
<li>Sometimes there are missing polygons in the world</li>
</ul>

If you are following Watchsurvival on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Watchsurvival" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Watchsurvival</a> ) you have probably seen this information. I wanted to let everyone know about a couple of recent fun updates. First on the List 7 Days to Die has just released a new update after only 10 days or releasing the last update. This game is coming along nicely. Read about all the additions and changes below.<br />

Probably already old news to quite a few of you but Minecraft also released a new update that was quite awesome 1.7.2 The Update that Changed the World. I'm making a note of this update because it has been a long time since I've picked up Minecraft and played it and I found this update worth checking the game out again. Others that have not played in a while might find this one worthy of your time. The new biomes are a great addition to the game in my personal opinion and really help freshen up the seeds and make the world more fun to explore again. <br />

New Games! News and My thanks! Good day survivors! I had some time off tonight so I thought I would go through some updates with all these recent comments. The website is really picking up and I think that is great. It is very awesome to see so many contributing to Watchsurvival.<br />
<br />
The Watchsurvival facebook page is starting to pick up as well and is getting followers and likes. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Watchsurvival">https://www.facebook.com/Watchsurvival</a> That doesn't seem like much to a lot of you I am sure, but to me I think that is really great.<br />
<br />
I also want to note I do not "advertise" Watchsurvival, I do not buy "likes" Every like on facebook and every comment on this website are all from the real deal survival gamers. You found this website on Google or from my posting on survival game forums or from friends. I think it is silly to try to force people into likes or gaining followers. I will not "buy" likes. I don't want random people who have no clue "Liking" Watchsurvival on facebook or joining in on Watchsurvival. I want the real gamers and real survival game fans to enjoy this. This community is growing and it's all because of you real survival gamers supporting the cause. For that I give you all a very big Thank You. <br />
<br />
Which also brings me to another problem and that is spammers. If you visit the site often you will probably see these comments from time to time. I'm on edge about it because on one hand I get so many awesome comments from a lot of you under anonymous and get good new game info from all of you Anon's as well. This is the part I enjoy. People can post quickly and not take up much of their time worrying about memberships and logging in ect. The problem with this is that it makes it very easy for Spammers and spam bots to also post on this website. <b>For the time being I am keeping anon on because of all you awesome anon's that post. I am posting a warning here though. If the spamming gets too out of hand or too out of control I will be forced to take action and disable anonymous posting.</b> I just wanted to give all you friendly anon's a heads up. Keeping anon posting for now but may have to disable in the future.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to another point. It's obvious a lot of you enjoy your time here and a lot of you enjoy good survival game discussion with other fellow survival game fans. Because of this I am considering opening up a Message Board/ Forum for Watchsurvival! This will probably be happening sometime soon in the future. <br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways on to the reason your here! The games! New games added to the survival game list are:<br />

I've not talked about Project Zomboid in a while so I thought I would take some time and post about the newest updates going on. The developers have been hard at work smoothing out the game and making things more fluid and easy to use while adding in new content. The most recent update was about now getting the game on your steam account through desura! Official Steam release is not ready yet but will probably be ready to go very soon. However for current Zomboid players you can now use desura to transfer to a steam key for the game. There is also a short video on the new zoom features going into the game. The update is below.<br />

Also in case some of you missed it. I'm placing last weeks update on here cause it is pretty cool and includes some good news like more map updates coming soon. <br />

I've updated the survival games list with part 1 of the new tagging system I'm working on. The survival games list will now inform you if the game is playable or not without having to figure that part out yourself. I've also moved all games marked as playable to the top of their categories. Hopefully this helps you game more and research less. Have a good day everyone!<br />

So a lot of you have brought 7 Days to Die to my attention through comments and emails and after doing some research I must admit it has impressed me and seems to be a wonderful game. I thought it would be great to share a lot of the information with others as well as those of you who have never heard of the game may want to keep your eye on this one.<br />
<br />
They (The Fun Pimps, <a href="http://thefunpimps.com/" target="_blank">http://thefunpimps.com/</a>) were recently successfully funded on Kickstarter (over 500k) and have already made a huge amount of progress on their game. This game impresses me because it combines a lot of my favorite elements from different survival games into one game and appears to do so very smoothly. According to their website the purchase page is currently down as they are changing servers but will be back up tomorrow, so those of us that didn't have the chance to support the Kickstarter can still buy the game and get access to the alpha version build as they continue updating it (like Minecraft, Project Zomboid, Don't Starve, ect).<br />

The Dead Linger recently made a blog post about getting into the Steam Greenlight program. This is good news as I enjoy having as many of my games as possible on steam. As I can see people that already own the game will be getting a key to add it to steam so all is well with the world. Read all the info on their blog post listed below.<br />

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">So
the developers of "The Old World" recently contacted me and told me that
Watchsurvival has recently been giving them the majority of hits to
their website. They have also told me that although indiedb has not
been updated recently they are indeed still going strong and are working
hard on an update!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"> Also apologizing here for not updating Watchsurvival
recently I promise I am reading all your comments. Don't worry I'm not dead. Real life (job) been keeping me
busy and I actually stop to play games and enjoy them instead of

I've not updated about Project Zomboid in a little while so I thought I would post up the Project Zomboid Monday Update today. Check it out below. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://projectzomboid.com/blog/2013/07/so-close-we-can-feel-it-but-you-can-play-anyway/" target="_blank">http://projectzomboid.com/blog/2013/07/so-close-we-can-feel-it-but-you-can-play-anyway/</a><br />
<br />
--copy and paste--<br />
<br />
Hello Zomboiders,<br />
Since Rezzed, we’ve been tirelessly trying to get the latest build up
to Desura release quality. Regulars to our forum will be aware we’ve
started doing a short run of test builds (with the file strategically
uploaded to the servers for short periods to minimize on the crazy
bandwidth bills we had the last time, and mirrors created soon after)<br />
It’s so close it aches, and after a long long day of trying to
finally nail the reoccurring and endlessly frustrating ‘teleporting
crops’ bug and finally think we might have got it. Then just as we start
finally writing the Mondoid, we find out that the recently repaired
carpentry stairs may still have a few issues. Such is game dev, I guess.
Then it turned out the farming was still an issue. Some days it all
slots into place, and others bugs repeatedly beat you across the head a
bit and don’t go down without a fight. <img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://projectzomboid.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" /> <br />
Anyway, since these are both vital things people have been waiting
for since the last stable version, we’d rather wait until we got it in
there. And as it’s 8:30pm it looks like we’re running out of time for
today. That doesn’t mean we’ll stop work, and are looking to fix these
two issues as we speak. And as soon as we nail these two issues, we’ll
post the next version on the forums. We’ll likely be working for a good
few hours yet, but didn’t want to delay the Mondoid any more and keep
people in the dark. That’s not to say it’ll be tonight, it all depends
on if we nail these pesky things.<br />
To anyone who the news of forum test versions is news, please be VERY careful to read the warning at the top of the forum post. <strong>It’s VITAL to back up your saved worlds</strong>,
since the 8b -> 9 conversion process is one way, and there are some
rare issues that stop saves from converting properly. If this happens to
you and you don’t back up your world, then it’s gone. Forever. If you
back up, you can copy your backups back in and load up on the Desura
build until we get these sorted.<br />
If you’re not comfortable with copying files, then be very careful
not to attempt to load any world from the previous version if testing.
We can’t be held responsible for any loss of your game data.<br />
If you do have issues, and could post a zip of your original save
(the original backups, not the converted ones) on the forum so we can
bugfix, it will allow us to iron out any remaining conversion issues to
make sure everyone who has a world on build 8 will be able to carry it
onto build 9 without problems.<br />
So with all that in mind, please look at the following thread for the latest versions:<br />
Full version 3 build: <a href="http://www.theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=206404#p206404">http://www.theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=206404#p206404</a><br />
Hotfix for build 4: <a href="http://www.theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=206522#p206522">http://www.theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=206522#p206522</a><br />
So to sum up, remaining issues stopping a Desura build are:<br />
- Farm plots teleporting around the map due to unknown streaming / saving issue.<br />
- Carpentry stairs sometimes resulting in character floating through air.<br />
- A few bugs with the world conversion system.<br />
We’ll release a new forum build when bugs A and B are resolved. And a Desura one soon after once the last one is.<br />
Then, hopefully, NPC dev will begin again in earnest and will have
near full-time dev time from half the coding team until it’s in the
game. That all said, we’ve been working on it in bits and pieces while
waiting for tester feedback and such, and progress is good. Hopefully we
can start to make some big headway as soon as the next Desura build
hits.<br />
Thanks again!<br />
