This seriously looks like Stranded Deep with a dash of The Forest and a pinch of Green Hell

[@NannyOggins]

It certainly does. However, I think it looks even better since graphics have come on a bit since then. There is a long way to go though as there was in the early days of SD when we got bird flu every four days! 😁🥵😤

Tom hanks movie first for me

i loved stranded deep and i hope this will be even better. looks promising

I'm going to love this game. I'm all for anything like Stranded Deep.

[@muralist1]

Looks like fun. Enjoyed your video and subscribed.

[@danielrocketrees2460]

"It's warmer in there".... That looks like a freezing cold island. :P Glad to see some every day people trying to figure sh*t out.... it's pretty cool!!! Good job.

Thx for the video this game looks nice!

[@saviesaviour4875]

Hope this game becomes more complete. Looking awesome and loving the voice.

[@saviesaviour4875]

What i would like to see is more rope lol High tide and low tide Hide clothing Coconut in trees you can hit with arrow and have it fall and do damage if it falls on you Fishing rods Bone spear and arrows More architectural designs to be creative Fire places for inside buildings Some form of farming plants Storage for logs and sticks etc. Some bulk transport options

[@mikek3459]

Game looks great nice playthrough. When I saw the title Cast Away, it reminded me of the movie with Tom Hanks, Cast Away from the year 2000. Maybe some Fed Ex parcels will arrive on your Island as well xD.

[@generalg1946]

Right! Love that movie! 😆

[@nonexclusive6667]

Ty I thought the same no other games just movie

[@VersionBest]

I couldn't get enough of Stranded Deep it was that good. It's such a peaceful survival game for people to unwind and detox from their work. I wanted Stranded Deep 2 so this is close enough. BTW, got another survival game called Sunkenland that's based off the movie Waterworld.

[@generalg1946]

I actually installed Stranded Deep, and Green Hell, and decided to start Green Hell first just to mix it up. I will start Stranded Deep soon and really am looking forward to it. I also have seen Sunkenland game play and would really enjoy that one, I just don’t own it yet!😀 Soon, Soon.

[@richardremillard4451]

My gosh the graphics look clean and sharp? Wow

[@danielbishop1164]

Its always fun to play a newer game. I seen things I would explore more. Get up to the light house ruins,,with the rope, from the old tree u wanted to cut down. 🥴🤔

[@generalg1946]

🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll have to hop back in and check

[@NannyOggins]

I hope you will eventually be able to grow a limited amount of foods and sail a proper boat. The fibre thing needs to be addressed asap though! Lemongrass stem is lovely with fish but you can’t fish atm which seems a weird oversight! No doubt it’s planned for later down the line.

[@generalg1946]

Yes I agree, the devs just allowed us to play early but it is still in beta and has a long way to go. Think of this as a sneak peak at what it coming, not the finished project 😉

[@user-tu9ox4hj9g]

Would be cool if game devs built their games as a series of relevant job simulators composing one game. Notice players enjoy it. Example: build an in, be a bartender or manager. Each position being a job simulator yet one game. Imagine if many jobs were added, would be like real-life as the jobs become more intricate in each update.

[@generalg1946]

Interesting concepts for sure

[@deepblue6393]

Really enjoy these survival games, looks promising! Maybe start a stranded deep series?

[@generalg1946]

Yes! I want to! I just started Green Hell, but I will do stranded deep as well!

Well, not really. Good view, and some things you can’t use like a telescope.

You can build a spinningwheel for rope

[@generalg1946]

This particular version of the game you could not. The spinning wheel was in a later update.

you can make rope out of yucca!!

Yeah, you can, but there wasn't yucca in this version if I'm not mistaken. That came on a later update.

[@richardremillard4451]

You have Stranded Deep but never tried it? I got it also, but there were some things that I just could not get pass to enjoy.. i didn't like the user interface, and some of the control wheels.. I might give it another try ..it is ver. 1.0 or higher now.

[@generalg1946]

I have LOTS of games in my inventory I have never tried! I wish there was more time. I work full time as well which limits my abilities sometimes here.

[@marcinkarpinski9163]

Damn seems like we have a new Stranded Deep coming. Cool! When is this coming out?

[@generalg1946]

There is no release date as of yet. It is still in the beta stage. If you like, I have a link to Steam in the description, and you can wishlist from there to monitor! Just fyi 😁

[@marcinkarpinski9163]

@@generalg1946 already did thx! I just hope they won't include any unrealistic monsters in the final relase like The Forest did(didn't) like the game because of that. I just like to enjoy pure realistic survival ;)

[@kerrymcquillen1597]

If you really enjoyed this game, have you tried Escape the Pacific? May have some more of those elements you're looking for...more resources, multiple islands within islands clusters to sail between (once you have a sextant & figure out the navigation). And you CAN build your base on your boat...kinda the whole object. Less of the dangerous wildlife aspect, but more of the chill build & explore.

[@generalg1946]

Definitely going to have to check that one out! Thank you for the suggestion 😃

Not that I am aware of. In this particular version on this video, you could only use it for bandages.

Correct. I think there will be, I just think it was intentionally left like that so we couldn’t survive forever! But who knows😁

can you boil sea water in the turtle shell? on the fire ?

[@generalg1946]

I’m not sure. I’ll say this, I learned a few things about survival game mechanics playing a little of Green Hell. I would like to go back and apply some of those things to this one. We will, soon, soon.

[@Constifm1985]

Reminds me very much of stranded deep. Pretty much a copy of it. Don't understand why a new game that is so similar is released years Later. Idk what to hold from the game, I believe it's to early (access) to tell.

[@KanoDaHalfBreed]

Is it the same creator as Green Hell?

[@generalg1946]

Not sure tbh, I don’t think so.

[@johanea]

I don’t need a second copy of Stranded Deep.

[@generalg1946]

Good things it’s not stranded deep😉 hopefully the differences will be significant. Just being an ocean survival game doesn’t make it SD.

@@generalg1946 Don’t know mate, all seems to be a copy of SD at this time. But time will tell I guess. Either way, enjoyed your video and keep up the good work.

So, what I am hearing from the Devs is yes, it will come to console, but after the Steam release.

[@instantkevlar4763]

Stranded Deep hardly has any content. It starts off great when you play the first time but quickly gets boring and the devs seem least interested in adding new content. The game has so many glitches that haven't been fixed either. I'm hoping this game can provide what stranded deep failed to.

[@generalg1946]

I’ve never played it so I can’t say, but hey I agree. I think things should always be better the their predecessors. Hopefully

Bonjour une date de sortie prévu ?

Not yet. There is a link in the video description that will take you to the Steam store. From there you can monitor, Wishlist, and/or follow the progress on the developer's discord page!

[@MahmoudMouradSidky]

Nice video, but those games became way too many, they all look alike, same idea, very similar graphics, horrible physics, and are all early access!

[@generalg1946]

Yes this is fair, but I do have one question. Do you have one you enjoy?

[@MahmoudMouradSidky]

@@generalg1946 tried some, just got bored after couple of hours max

[@Arthaius]

Seems that this game is just a poor attempt to make a Stranded Deep knockoff if I'm being honest. Same basically everything, except suckier and less complete. once it is done and complete, it will just be basically " Stranded Deep Redux " or something, but.. I already have Stranded Deep so, I don't really know why I would buy this one, since the original is already better.

[@generalg1946]

I respect this opinion. Being somewhat new to survival games like this I have never played Stranded deep which was nice for me at least to be able to experience this game without the influence of the other. I do want to check out Stranded deep though and start building my skills!

[@Arthaius]

@@generalg1946 - Well, I will say this, it is definitely a good game, as mentioned it's basically the same as this one, except, more streamlined, they actually finished it, and as a bonus if you like this sort of thing, you can actually go into a creation mode and make your own islands, and then place them in the world, which is fun because you can run across them during your play. I do not know all you have played but I can list some really great games I personally love. - 7 Days to Die (My First Steam game, and the Devs did their work, stayed on for every update never abandoned) - Subnautica (if you love water, this is definitely for you) - The Long Dark (Amazing, Beautiful and can be punishing - Set in the Canadian Wilderness) - Frost Punk (Can you survive the approaching Freezing storm, can you prepare fast enough? - Fantastic game) - They Are Billions (Difficult, but very well made, excellent game) - Hobo Tough Life (A very different type of survival game, but I love it) - Don't Starve (This one is quite different, but Beautiful Art style, and a cool story. Don't let it get dark though...) - Neo Scavenger (This one is another quite different one, but I love the UI and the design and the story is very interesting) - Oxygen Not Included (You are stranded in Space on an asteroid, you need to breathe, and eat etc, so .. better get to work, lol) There are probably more but that is a good list to start you off, maybe you already know some of them :)

[@PositivePawsReviews]

I have to agree. This has stranded deep and green hell combined together, neither of them is this bad.

[@user-fb9jw8pd6t]

I think it being in development means your wrong to say it's worse lol and a knockoff. Could be better with patience

[@nonexclusive6667]

Nop just Tom hanks movie

[@theifthenist284]

U r painful to watch brotha. Do you really think that any resources in the ocean will be ON THE SURFACE?! Did you swim right by seaweed for hundreds of yards? I don't know if seaweed is even a viable material BUT ID AT LEAST CHECK. And what about the lemon grass? Y have u not looked 4 it? And y haven't u went up to the top ANYWHERE? These are just a few suggestions. And shit man, the play area is so small and the materials so scant that it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out what's next. CMON BROTHA!! FIGURE SUMTHIN' OUT!😏🤘🤙✌️

[@generalg1946]

✌

[@generalg1946]

I am somewhat new to survival games like this and may not know all the secrets that these games share in general. For example, looking in the trees for coconuts like you can in Green Hell. I would say sorry for being painful....but I'm learning as I go so, there's that. We did find those items (seaweed and lemon grass) but I did not find a use for them. I believe the seaweed could be used to craft an upgraded bandage, but we really didn't have a use for bandages, and it takes cloth, like everything else. Hard to say really. I tried killing the shark and fish but they aren't working yet. It's still early for this game. it was really just a sneak peek.
