IBT Survival Island?
Hello, how are
you? Us staff here
at DASM HQ are happy to announce our new
project "IBT Survival Island". (Interactive
Battle Tournament
Survival Island.) We are still currently in early
stages but compared to DASM Spell Quest this
project is massive and may or will be full of hidden
surprises. Some major companies around
Australia have been asked for permission to
add some of their products in the survival
game and have already expressed some
interest.
What is IBT
Survival
Island?
IBT Survival Island is
a new project involving survival on an
isolated island near the Australian Coast.
You don't know how you got there but you
need to find water, food and build shelter.
Once this is done you will have to wait for
someone to rescue you or find your own way
off the island but either way you must
survive all the elements that Australia has to
offer.
How is this a survival game and why is it
unique to others?
In IBT
Survival Island
there are no zombies, no monsters and nobody
to help you. The food you find is 100%
Australian bush tucker but sometimes other
items can be found or washed ashore. The
game uses hunger, thirst, mental health,
biohazards, stamina, your current health status and yes,
trips to the toilet. There is day and night
cycles plus hot and cold climates.
Is this game Educational?
Yes, it
involves collecting food, making fresh water
and understanding the Australian terrain.
There is a lot of "reading" and each item is
explained in detail. For example the image
below explains what item you have picked up
in your inventory and some details about it.
(Note* The inventory system and
items/descriptions will or may change as it
develops.)
Once you have
collected a variety of items you can craft
tools and other various things to help you
to survive. Some items cannot be crafted
until they are unlocked. Unlocking these
items are earned over time as you gain
experience.
In the image
below is a small selection of items you can
create or found while exploring. Staying in
the one place and not exploring will
definitely be certain doom for the player.
Building your
shelter is important. Currently we have a
basic building system that allows you to
collect objects like sticks, rocks, branches
or even craft planks of wood to create solid
shelters. Below is an example of what you
can current craft with the right
ingredients.
Is the game
violent?
Like most of
our software we try to not have anything
that is violent or promote violence.
Unfortunately with IBT Survival Island if
you don't drink or eat there are
consequences. But violence that involves
guns or shooting other people or beings is
not in this game nor are we even interested
in adding this. Hunting animals with a spear
or using traps to find food is the only violence in
this software. World of DASM software will
never agree with creating products that
promote unnecessary violence.
Will I need an account to "trial"
this software?
No. We will
actually allow people to download early
versions of this software for free.
Depending on the traffic we may even ask a
third party to host for us. But for now we
plan on having a direct link from this
website. At the moment no date has been set
to begin trials since we are still at an
early stage.
Will I need a STEAM accounts?
Naturally,
when the time comes sales will be through
STEAM if approved. STEAM is the best way of
selling a product since it never closes and
is a reliable third party. The only downfall
with STEAM is you have to have an account
with them but don't worry its free. The
positives are if there is an update it will
automatically update your game and give you
any changes that are made. If you have a
STEAM account and a Steemit account you may
get extra options with the software.
What is Steemit, do I need an account?
Steemit
is a blockchain-based blogging and social
media website, which rewards its users with
the "cryptocurrency". Currently
we are attempting to use our software in
conjunction with Steemit accounts. For now
we cannot fully validate that this will be
possible but a lot of time and effort is
being researched into this "possibility"
right now. Don't panic if you don't have a Steemit account
because it will be like all our other
projects where STEAM will be your primary
and main account.
Any Questions?
If you have
any further questions please contact us at:

Are you an Australian company?
If your a
company and are interested in adding your
product in the IBT Survival Island software please contact us
at:
info@worldofdasm.com This would be free
of charge and a great way of advertising
your product. If your not sure just tell us
about your product and we will quickly
research it. Once your product is created in
3D as a
static mesh we will send it to you so
you will see what it looks like and have
your approval before we add it to the
software.
(Note* Products should be 100%
Australian. Items like; Glass jars,
plastic containers, glass, glue, wood,
metal, cloth etc are our primary interest.
Anything that can hold water or be used for
survival would be acceptable also.)
No products added in this
software will face devalue, be used as
malice nor belittlement.
