About This Game You play a pre-historic caveman, your ultimate objective... to survive! Explore a massive seamless open world, forage for food, hunt animals, and use the complex, realistic crafting system to build new, better and stronger items. Work together with other players to form a community, form a village, and to cooperate and grow as a group! Vantage is a game I have been working on for many years now, and it is the game I have always wanted to play. Since it didn't exist, I decided to create it! So I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy creating it!Some examples of what you can do in the game:- Craft a large number of objects to help you survive. Everything from sharp stones, to campfires so you don't freeze at night, to primitive huts to live in!- Find wild plants, take their seeds and plant crops to become more self-sustaining.- Create some clothes to keep yourself warm and well protected by skinning dead animals and tanning the hides by going through a realistic primitive leather working process.- And much, much more!Realistic and complex crafting system - Vantage has a in-depth, well researched crafting system using the actual items you need to craft items in the real world. For example, if you wish to build a fire using a hand drill, you need to find the right stick to use as a spindle, create a piece of hearth wood, and forage for some tinder. Then if you are skillful enough, you can make your fire!Hardcore survival / player customization - Make sure you forage for that food or grow some crops, for when you die, your character is gone! But don't despair, when your characters die they earn "player points" you can use to re-customize you next character by buying starting items and boosting your starting skills so you can try anew!Skill-based character progression with many professions - You can try to specialize in one of the many professions, or try to master them all! Some examples are hunting, fishing, leatherworking and farming. You can also become a master bone, wood, or stone maker to help other people's professions along. Work together with other players to make items faster and stronger.Interact with every item in the world - No more playing a game where trees and rocks are just fancy artwork! You can harvest wood from every tree, and pick up every rock you see!Custom game engine creating massive seamless randomly generated worlds - The game uses a custom 3D game engine I created called VantEdit. It generates and renders massively sized worlds of any size I choose, and you get to explore them. Walk in a single direction and you will circumnavigate the globe with no loading screens.The game's current development state:What is completed (of course these will be constantly improved and updated):- The Game's engine:( rendering/ seamless world mechanics etc ). I have refined the engine to be a great vessel in which to create the game. I have spent years on it and helps to give the game the feel it needed to have.- Game Play Mechanics: The game play system is fully implemented as intended, has been tested and is fully playable. Again this only means that the core elements have been completed and I am of course working on improving all aspects of the game. This includes UI framework, Crafting, Skills and Item design, etc...- Networking conversion: This took many years, but I am proud to say that the online version of the game is fully stable. The game now also supports offline servers (for playing single-player), and player hosted dedicated servers that can be publicly displayed to all players around the world.- The Game's Editor tools: Though this is not currently available to players yet, the game's editor is designed to add in new crafts, items and skills easily into the game, as I develop the game I add in new skills, new items, and new crafts into the game. Even though I call this a primitive survival game, I plan to continue to add new content to the game constantly! What does this mean? Well at a certain point I will add in archery, more complex farming mechanics, more building types etc... What will be added in the near future:- PvP: Once the game has been sufficiently tested, I will be finishing the PvP aspect of the game.- More server hosting options: Players who wish to host servers will be able to customize their servers to more specific needs and preferences (making hardcore-only servers, etc...)- Access to VantEdit world editor: Players will be able to host servers with their own procedural generated worlds. They will have the ability to create nearly any size world with the ability to change temperatures, land and continent formations, and much more. This functionality will be later in development, most likely after the full launch.What can be improved:- Artwork: Many of the graphics you see in game are my own "programmer art", simple yet useful art I create in a short amount of time. There are works of art done by professionals in the industry as well however. One goal of hopefully getting the game into Early Access is to hire back some of these artists to get the artwork more professional.- Animation system and attachments: Upgrading the animation system to have it so you can customize you character's physical attributes, actually see objects like shoes and hats being worn on a character etc. As well as have more player models and customization.Future Plans for the GameThe content I can continue to add will never stop! I will run out of primitive technologies and keep moving forward, one item, craft, or skill at a time. So how far can I go? Will the game's technology get to the Roman Era? Medieval? Industrial Era? Modern Era? The game is a constantly evolving, ever changing universe that you exist in. It just all depends on people like you who I hope like, support, and enjoy the idea behind this game. 1075eedd30 Title: Vantage: Primitive Survival GameGenre: Indie, Simulation, Early AccessDeveloper:Crystal DragonPublisher:Crystal DragonRelease Date: 22 May, 2018 Vantage: Primitive Survival Game Download] [hack] vantage primitive survival game скачать. vantage primitive survival game. vantage primitive survival game gameplay. vantage primitive survival game gameplay. vantage primitive survival game download. vantage primitive survival game let's play. vantage primitive survival game wiki. vantage primitive survival game igg. vantage primitive survival game download. vantage primitive survival game igg. vantage primitive survival game. vantage primitive survival game скачать. vantage primitive survival game let's play. vantage primitive survival game wiki Kenshi is a great example of how a game, even if stuck in development for many years, can be an amazing game that delivers on its premise AND delivers on the "fun" factor of a game.Vantage: Primitive Survival, on the other hand... is not. It simply was not fun for me to play it despite enjoying the premise that it is built on, it felt tedious and the interaction controls with items as well as the grind required made me think of Wurm Unlimited\/Online, which sadly in this case is not a compliment. The way the gameplay has been designed and engineered just does not create fun for me, I would have far more fun booting up Stranded 2 than playing this game.So no... I do not recommend it, and I don't care that it's Early Access either. You can't bug fix a bad game flow design, but I genuinely wish you the best of luck and give my best hopes that you make it through Early Access and release an amazing product, Crystal Dragon.EDIT: I would like to emphasize quickly that, my comparison of this game to Kenshi is not meant to be 1:1... I am only contrasting the fact that both have been in development for a long time, and I am not measuring mechanics and genre between the two because that would be silly, both have different goals.

Starting tools do not last through the first craft so you are stuck with no tools and no item and no way to make a new tool. try to build a fire with your starting items and your item (most likely the stick) will wear out before you get a fire so you have to make a new one which uses up your sharpened stone knife, Funny how a small wooden rod just destroys a piece of stone. s there you are you finally get a fire built but you had to use up your sharpened stone and alas there is no way on this planet to get another, or even find a piece of broken rock with a sharp edge. There is an elusive, mysterious and magical item in the game called a billet that is needed to make any sharpened stone or bone tool, problem is you cannot find one. it is probably crafted in a forge of some type so forget about crafting one folks. Would figure the designer would have at least made it possible to keep playing but after over an hour of looking for one I gave up. Tried several different combinations of charachter equipment and abilities and all ended up at the same result, no tools to do anything with and character left with no tools to scavange for food and water, what fun!!!!. This is a really great survival game. It doesn't have a lot of content at the momment but it's still really interesting. The game is great for people who don't mind grinding, I look forward seeing the upcoming content.. What a waste of time and gaming effort.

I can not believe that this game is even on steam? I am a little annoyed as I went off the positive feedback from steam store page. I searched for a decent youtube video, but only one came up and it was hard to determine the quality as the youtuber had the personality of a mushroom and barely demonstrated anything. I should have listened to my gut feeling and not bothered. How anybody could give this game a thumbs up is beyond me and the person who compared this to xsyon, get off the gear buddy. In no way shape or form is this game even in the same universe as xsyon prelude. What an insult!!!I am sorry if i have offended the Developer, but really ???? WHY? HOW AND WHAT THE.....?????Worse game I have ever played in my life! And please dont tell me its because i dont like grind games. I have played games like xsyon & life is feudal, spent long hrs grinding away and enjoyed every second. This game gave me a severe headache !!!! Everything from the walking mechanics, crafting, Fps, graphics thru to the sound effects are very bad, even for an Ea access game. I have played games on Retro machines that are better than this in every way.There is something very awry about this???. I've played 15 hours at the time of writing, and have done quite a lot of the game's content in its current state. For the time being I'll lay it down, awaiting further content to re-roll a character. I was most impressed by the way every object in the map is selectable, and most of them being interactable in some way. With the developer's engine, there's framework for a very deep game, even though it's not very broad yet.We'll have to wait and see how it develops, but I'd keep my eye on this one! I can say without a doubt that this game has massive potential, and it's clear this has been a labor of love. The developer seems to respond to users queries rather quickly, and is eager to start focusing on some more content after a batch of optimalisation. While I don't recommend it yet for users looking for an experience which is already complete, I definitely recommend this for people who want to support the developer and see the project grow. It's bound to be a magical experience.. Love the game. I have been playing for about 15 hours.If you don't like games that you have to do a lot of grinding then this is not for you. I don't mind games that you have to do a lot of grinding as it gives me a little bit of satisfaction when I achieve something. At the end of the day you are a cave man and have to learn the new skills by doing day to day things like hunting and gathering.The developer is very active and listerns to your comments. The game is still early alpha but worth the money.. not playable, should not have been released yet Vantage Pre-EA 0.5.4 is released! Launch Date Very Soon!: Vantage Pre-Ea 0.5.4 is released! This has added the first songs of the game's soundtrack into the game! Also some final bug fixes.This version marks the first of the "Final" updates for the game. I will hopefully be announcing a release date very soon!I will also post a sample of the new game music soon. Stay Tuned!. Vantage FAQ's Created!: I have just written three comprehensive FAQs for the game for players to help get themselves familiar with the game mechanics, and answer and questions they may have while playing, logging in, or setting up a server. You can check them out on the Steam discussion forums here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/342910/discussions/. In-Depth Player Created Guide: One of the players created a very nice in-depth guild to creating a characters, some of skills needed for more advance crafts, and some general statistics of which items are good to craft with.You can find the guide here:https://steamcommunity.com/app/342910/guides/. Getting Close!: I hope everyone had good Holidays! Work is continuing on the game, although a little bit of a slow start since I have been sick for a while.I am currently going through and fixing some of the bugs in the game I don't feel comfortable release the game with until they are fixed. I have completed a couple of these already, and will hopefully fix the rest soon. Then I go back to fixing the last few small bugs on my list and updating some of the content.After that I will most likely start putting out some advertising for the game to get it ready for release. Once this last round of updates are done I will feel ready to finally release the game soon!Stay Tuned!. Up and Running for the New Year!: It took a little while longer, but I finally have my new computer set up and ready to go! I am looking forward to all the new development I will be doing, and hopefully I am now capable of doing some tutorial videos, and live Twitch streams in the near future, now that I have a computer that can do it.The artists are working on the new art assets right now. And I will be working on a new large game-play mechanic that will work with the new content!After this new content update is completed, the longer term plan of development is go to back to content creation. As in adding more professions, as well as a lot of items , skills and crafts for those professions.Stay tuned!. "Traps and Critters" (update EA 1.1.0) is now Live!: Finally, after a massive amount of work, I have finally released the "Traps and Critters" update!This update adds three new animals ( rats, squirrels, and foxes ), and three hunting traps, and many more improvements!( Please keep in mind, even though you may not see much in terms in content, this was a large update with many new features, some are described below. Please let me know of any issues you may occur! )(Also, I will be aggressively fixing any bugs that pop up that may have occurred, please be patient :) )You can now craft traps to catch animals! You can craft three types of traps, each one catches a certain types of animals. You unlock them while improving your "primitive hunting" skill (currently at level 4, 6, and 8 for the three traps)For more information on the game play mechanics of creating and maintaining the traps, I have added a full tutorial section to the in-game encyclopedia. Check it out!New mechanics:. Vantage Early Access Update 1.0.11 is Live!: This update has a little everything! Content! Optimizations! and of course bug fixes!Two new tools were added to make your crafting easier, also some server optimizations and much more! You can read the patch notes on the Steam forums.Enjoy!. Game Play Overhaul Testing in Progress: I am in the middle of a very long "exhaustive game play test" of the game right now. I am going through every craft, skill, and item, and testing them over and over and over again to make sure everything in the game is working correctly, is balanced, and most importantly, is fun! It is very long, hard work but I believe in the end it will all pay off!After the game play testing is done, I will have created a nice list of improvements I will make to the game. However after that is complete, I will most likely do another wave of testing, and invite more testers to test the game. Stay tuned!
