SURVIVAL
LOOP

• Spawn as a juvenile creature.
• Use scent, sound, tracks, rivers, and cover to survive.
• Find the right diet to grow stronger.
• Join packs or herds when your species benefits from numbers.
• Fight, flee, ambush, migrate, nest, or hide depending on your animal.

Every sound can reveal your position. Rivers may hide Deinosuchus. Open plains expose you to pursuit. Forests protect you, but they also hide ambushes. A full-grown animal can still die from one bad choice.

• Carnivores hunt, scavenge, stalk, and pressure prey.
• Herbivores migrate, defend, graze, and form herds.
• Omnivores adapt, steal, forage, and survive through flexibility.
• Aerial and aquatic species change how the map is used.
