The thing is bee, in a real life survival situation there arn't so many bears and they don't attack that much. Speaking of that, per the mijority's request, bears now don't attack as much anymore but even if it does... You can tell because instead of the detection saying a bear, it'll say a mad bear. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the new update, Sam. Even 1 more reason to not use flears for me now. I think I will just burn them, thanks.
It might be possible to train a rabbit, but hard to code. Training a bear requires ... much more work and not getting killed. Wild animals in general are hard to train, because well, they are wild animals.
And for age limit: for that you would have to play 100 game years, and game time is a bit diferent than the real time. Unless you mean 100 days, which is just cruel.
So, Momo, I am not supporting your sogestions at the moment.

suggestion: what about make different forrests with different threes and plants in it.

Hey Sam, my friend Shane just died again this morning. He and his wife are just wanting to find a place in the game where they can easily fish and do other things without being attacked by a bear so often. Is there anyway you can fix it so it's not so much so on the Forest mainland? Also, he says when he was  being attacked, he hit the arche and tried laying down, and nothing seemed to happen. He was still being attacked. He said he also tried running away, and wasn't able to do so either.  And, what about another feature suggestion. What about adding traps for bears and rabbits? I think it would be kind of neat and a bit realistic for that as well.

Hi Sam, Sean again. I have a few suggestions. What if, since the city is  all ready a radiated city, instead of adding bombs you could make it so that when you travel through the city, your health decreases because of the radiation.  Also, could you make a bit of a change to the logging on and off messages? What if you could set it so that you don't get the notifications at all, or the notifications you get will be everything, or only the people you and the other person trust when you trust each other you will get notifications when they come online.

I might add that some time. So guys, heres something to look forward to in this next update!

you are wearing some dusty_shoes on your feet, some torn_pants on your legs, a tattered_shirt, a dirty_sweater, a bear_tooth_neckless on your neck, and a string_hat on your head. you are also wearing warn_out_gloves on your hands, and a silver_ring.
Also theres genders! Most of you probably scene some of this, but it's 2 of the biggest reasons this update is jumping so high in version numbers!

Greetings guys.
Maybe it will be a bit strange suggestion, or, request, how ever... I like to crash bike, but, we can't repare them, and honestly we wouldn't need to, if could be possible to add ring. Eg, someone is biking, and about 3 / 2 tiles before the tree / wall, his / her bike could give some warning, and he / she can choose: will stop, or crash it out! Cause I saw many people still don't know about camera, and, one more, when their bike crashed, they can't understand it and think, that bike just doesn't work and ask other players what to do.

That's one of the new features in this huge update. It's about 165 megs, btw, and there will be a lot of new things, clothing and gender just being part of it. And btw in the future when creating accounts, it will ask a gender, instead of nagging like it does now. But unfortionatly that is client side, so i'll do that when the update comes out.

Nice job with the animals Sam. However, I feel there are a few things that need to be said about the bears.

First of all, this game is called survive the wild; it's suppose to be difficult. Making bears weaker and weaker makes no sense whatsoever. Second of all, if anything, bears should be the ones that attack you and run away and wolves should be the ones that streight up attack. Bears typically run away from loud noises and typically attack if their cubs are being threatened. Seriously though, I really like the animal AI, it gives a whole new aspect to the game.

I also had a few suggestions. The first is, don't you think the way the bikes work should be changed? I understand and agree that bikes should break when hitting a tree, butperhaps there could be a radar when you're on the bike so you can dodge trees? That just seems the most practical  way of doing this.

The second thought I had. I know you want the goal of this game to be as realistic as possible. That being said, what if survive the wild was in real time? So it would take a real life day for the sun to rise and set. This would also mean that hunger and thirst would go up a lot slower. Again, like you siad, you want the game to be as real as possible, and it isn't realistic to think that a person could drink that much water and eat that much food without being seriously obese.

What does everyone else think of this?

Hello,
Like allways, nice work, Sam! Like the new sounds a lot!
I will agree with the bike thing, it should give us a worning so we don't crash without knowing we will

The reason I don't have stw in realtime is that it would be for one timezone. So if someone in one continent played, they might only be able to play durring the night time in stw. That would kind of suck. Thirst and hunger do go up very slowly, thirst goes up every 8 seconds and hunger goes up every what was it... 30 seconds? Something like that. I will probably add a radar on bikes, but i'm not sure when As for the obese situation, I will before 1.0 first make it so you have to go to the bathroom, at least somehow. A bit grose but kind of nesasary. With that I can limit how much the person can actually eat until they let what they got in there system out. I will probably just have a key like control B make you go to the bathroom or something on that tile. Unless someone else has a better way of doing this? Also, bears wern't intended to get weaker, I think that I screwed up the AI a bit so they don't start running at you when there supposed to. I'll look into it though and hopefully get it fixed.
