This week I defined play scenarios and analyzed references from the domain that can be used as a source of inspiration for the development of the game, per example:
- Man vs. Wild – Bear Grylls is left stranded in a region and each episode documents his efforts to survive and find a way back to civilization, usually requiring an overnight shelter of some kind. Mostly there are wild terrains – jungles, forests or similar non-urban areas.
- Cast Away – The film depicts the character abandoned on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes in the South Pacific and his attempts to survive on the island using remnants of his plane’s cargo. He searches for food, water, and shelter, and opens the packages, making use of several items. Years later, the main character has adapted to the island’s meager living conditions, having become adept at spearing fish and making fires.
- Lost – The TV show follows the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean. The survivors are forced to work together since their survival is threatened by several mysterious entities.
- The Island – The survival skills reality television series follows fourteen men that are dropped on a deserted island, where they must work together to survive. The men struggle to find fresh water while battling exhaustion and dehydration and grow desperate for food, and the mental and physical challenges take their toll on the participants.
