Primary Research for a Nature Exploration Game
For my Primary research on Nature Exploration games I created a survey on SurveyMonkey.com and tailored it suit the information I wanted to gather.
Based on the answers people gave me, people want to see an Open world Nature Exploration game with decent graphics and a combat system that they put a lot of time into made.
I was happy to see clear strong answers for certain questions such as if weapons an combat are necessary. With this information I can now create a game based around what the target audience for this genre want to see which in turn will make the game more successful.
Secondary research for a Nature Exploration game
After researching Nature Survival games and what defining features make them a part of this genre I decided that the best example I came across for a true Nature Survival game is...
The Forest!
The Forest is a survival horror game that falls under the category of Nature Exploration. As the lone survivor of a plane crash on a remote forest island you must survive and endure all the challenges mother nature and the mutated cannibal locals can throw at you. The game allows you to craft tools and weapons to defend yourself and carve out a safe haven amongst the dangers of the island, Tools like axes let you cut down trees and foliage which you can use to build bases and log huts, You can craft a fishing pole to catch fish to feed yourself and when night comes you'll need a weapon such as a bone mace (a crude mace consisting of a human skull strapped to a thick branch) to fend off the cannibals.
Due to the success of the game and the mechanics in the game, The forest is a very god example of a good survival or nature Exploration game, I believe if I used similar assets and gameplay elements my Nature exploration game would also be a success.
