Project Explore
About
Project Explore is a 2D sandbox survival game developed with only the best in mind. The simple yet responsive UI is there to help the player, not hinder them. It has a high-functioning inventory system- the items can have their own unique traits through metadata system. The game’s multiplayer is light-weight and has very minimal hardware requirements. With that said, server hosting is extremely optimized. The game comes with up-to-date patch notes and documentation to help with server configuration, mod creation/support, and everything in-between.ModdingOne of our priorities is mod development. We are huge fans of Feed The Beast (Minecraft Mod Pack Distributors) and similar teams. Having the freedom to be a fruit salad chef, a weapon smith, or a mercenary. That's what it's about. We are constantly encouraging users to create new mods and help us to expand what is possible with the game engine.
As a user you can install mods very easily. Simply drag mods into the mod folder and you've added a mod to your game! They work in multiplayer and singleplayer without any extra hassle. You can easily create and share them with friends.Developer Quote"I think every player deserves a voice and the direction of the game should be based on community feedback, and ideas. I've followed this idea since the beginning of the games development and so far it has helped the game become something I could not have ever imagined." -Seabass

Early Access Review-get free-Review of the 23.03.2015 Significantly better than expected. After seeing the Screenshots, it was immediately clear to me that this is not going to be anything. But that changed after a few Minutes when I was in the Game.
For an Alpha/Early Access Game, it's already very well built.
No Bugs and you can do some Things already.
It's a Survival game, that is, it's about Survival. You can hunt Wolves and Bears and also fish. You quickly get food together when you find a Knife. No Statement in this Respect.
Simple Control is present and a well clear HUD (Life Display, Food) and you can even see when it will be Night. Which surprised me, that there's even a Gun in the Game that you can craft or find.
The current Steam Achievements are unlocked relatively quickly.
Tip for Starters: With a Stone you can cut down Trees (since you don't have an Axe at the Beginning) And search the whole Map, in many Houses there are practical Things.
After 1.5 Hours and about 13 Days survivad, I have seen everything currently possible. Weapon crafted, Axe to Cut down trees and hit off to Metal/Rock, Gone fishing, House built and etc.
Which strikes me as slightly negative, that it is too easy to survive a Challenge from the Point of view of food.
But that may still run the Time as development progresses.
The Graphics go well with the Game. And The Inventory and Craft System is also perfectly structured. You can see exactly what you need for and don't have to remember the "Recipes."
So overall for the Beginning already very good. Only I hope that more Challenges arise.

Early Access Review Survival in Hardcore Mode Yes Friends, as the Title suggests, "Project Explore" is just for hard-edged Survivors, because not only do you start naked, but when you die, you're also dead and don't miraculously get back up.
You start as a small Male on a Piece of Land, which is inhabited only by You and a few Animals, from which one can best cut off at the Beginning, which actually works quite well when you run around a Hut or a Rock.
If you're a little further along and you have your first Weapons, of course you can also hunt the Animals and cook the Meat.
Should you be one of the lucky ones and find an Axe, you can also set about cutting down Trees.
Food is easiest to find on the Field at the Beginning, there are a Few brown Dots to be able to loot, sometimes a seed falls out, sometimes a Potato, while you can only plant the Seeds, you can eat the Potatoes immediately and satisfy Your Hunger.
If You find a Bottle and have drunk it, don't throw away the empty Bottle, because you can replenish it at the Water (drunk Water not only reduces Thirst but also hunger).
Pro + Hardcore Mode + Small Tutorial (where you have to find out most of it yourself) + you can build your own hut and design It the Way you want + Steam-Achievements + Low Price Neutral ~ Multiplayer button is available, But Multiplayer itself does not yet exist
Contra-Very early Alpha Conclusion For the Price it is absolutely recommended, it is still an early Alpha, so one can assume that there is a lot to be added, but the Price will also rise.
With such a low Price, it is actually almost impossible for the developer to Retire with the Money, although of course you always have to reckon with ^ ^
