A realistic open-world survival experience. After a harrowing plane crash, you find yourself stranded in the wilderness. Battling freezing temperatures and hunger, you face an unknown virus that slowly paralyzes muscles, leaving its victims motionless and at the mercy of the unforgiving cold.

Firstly, good on you for getting a game out there. I wish I could say the same for myself. However, looking at the reviews it seems to me that you may be better off trying to work on something less ambitious for where you are at. It looks like you have a solid foundation to make a detailed, story driven game that is level /hub based rather than trying to create yet another open world survival crafting game. It is such a flooded genre and you really need to develop something very decent in order to stand out or to even be considered.

Again, well done. I'm somewhat jealous lol but yeah.. Take my words as you wish.

I know the feeling, there is a city builder game I want to make, well it's in the cities builder genre, but that market is so flooded with excellent content that there's no point making it until I can figure out a way to make it stand out.

Somebody has already come up with the peak idea for a survival game which is to make it literally just War Of The World. I don't think anyone can beat that.

This is going to sound contrary to my original comment but you could just make it for the sake of making a game. Or to see your idea realised. To have an accomplishment. Extending upon my orginal comment, in one of the reviews to their game it said it has all the elements of a survival game but they are all poorly implemented. Makes me think, what's the point? Some one else after my comment mentioned they're a hack. Cloning the long dark. And it seems they're right. It's all in your motive.

I think you should make you city builder game and I'd like to try it.

Not this guy again.

Blatant poor copy of The Long Dark.

I won’t stop calling you out for being a hack.

The only connection between "game dev" and their posts has been "I made this" as well. Not about the dev experience or progress or anything like that. Just low-key ads/marketing, unfortunately.

IIRC and from the two or three previous posts I have seen anyway.
