Hello, everyone!
I am currently making a platform survive a desolated or deserted town/City game!
You are the only person left and you must scavenge through a City and collect certain items to survive!
You must quench your thirst, satisfy your hunger and keep yourself warm in the cold climates while surviving on what was left behind by society!
This is not in any way an apocalypse game, its just a matter of survival where no one is.
This is the premise of my game!
Here is what I have made so far:
  • A Platform game engine
  • Moveable character
  • A hand as a mouse that can pick up objects
  • Displaying Hunger percentage, thirst percentage, warmth percentage (not implemented yet)
  • Floors and walls
  • Crates that can be picked up
  • A not so working inventory!

Here is a list of some ideas that I have so far to add in the game:
  • Way to loose thirst
  • Way to loose hunger
  • Way to loose warmth depending on Weather
  • More objects on the ground
  • water bottles
  • food
  • wild animals
  • buildings
  • being able to search through buildings
  • acidic water
  • Weather conditions changing
  • Dialogue
  • running
  • ducking
  • Driving in vehicles
  • Gas Stations
  • Object like a part of a map showing where buildings are or were in the town! (NEW)
  • Technology
  • Computers
  • ladders
  • Scoring
  • Achievements
  • Easter Eggs
  • better graphics and lighting
  • Audio and sounds
  • and more to come!

If you have any good Ideas to add to this list of things you can do please let me know!
I still need to think of the main goal of what it should do to beat the game but I may just have the player survive as long as possible!
Thanks for your help and feedback!
TG
ADD: This is a 2 Dimensional Game platform sidescrolling game but there may be implemented a way to go through doors into different rooms, like a room behind you later.

There should be a button in your inventory, under the 'Food' tab(If there is one), that says "Last Resort.". It could make you cut some of your flesh off of your body, which makes you lose half your health(That you have at the moment), and half your thirst. It would, however fill your hunger.

A good combination: "Last Resort", Medical Kits, and Water.

I have an idea for hunger now. You know how after a long day of work, or school, you're really hungry? It's generally because of the amount of work you do. That's how your hunger could go down. If you fight things, run, jump, pick up heavy things, etc, your hunger could go down!

Also, Transmit, if you have skype, can you add me? I can help you more on there!

*Update*
I have a working inventory where you can pick up objects as long as your near them and then place them using f as the action key and select which object you want to place! I only can have 2 slots for the inventory for some reason and I don't know how to make more, but that may come later! May include a screenshot soon! or make this a project also adding a waterbottle right now to quench hydration! so far so good
Also for the hydration and hunger, how do you think I could decrease it over time? based on walking?? or jumping?

Hydration could decrease by the amount of movement you do. Walking will dehydrate you slower than running, running will dehydrate you less than jumping, etc. Also, by the time of day it is. During the day, you could run out of water, faster than you would at night.

Hunger... Well, I have no suggestion for that.

that sounds good for the hydration! I will implement a running key, probably shift
awd keys to move and mouse to click on objects and f to drop objects on the right and c to drop objects on the left!
okay still need help with hunger!
