The music in the trailer was great, loved how you showed all your hardwork that wasn’t in the previous Google play video. The music is really touching, especially at the end where you mention how long you’ve been working on it,reminds me of how long i’ve been playing it lol. All around great work, hope it helps publicity,share it around people!
Kaalus, long time player here. The new update is great, however, the clothes durability is….a bit annoying to say the least. With the new temperature stimuli, clothing is almost essential now to survive and if its wearing out as quickly as one day, its a hassle to be making more everyday. The fact that wolves drop ingredients for them is great but I think the durability should be lengthened as I can forsee many people being annoyed with this, Youtube letsplayers being among them.
Also, the “wet” sound that occurs when you step in water…I suggest that you tone down the sound of it a bit. Just enough to let the user be aware that they are soggy, but not enough that it sounds almost jarring with every step.
I see you implemented special effects with the clothe i.e leather boots make you 5% faster, that’s a very nice touch and I hope you expand on the idea of giving clothes special effects.
Great update Kaalus!!
I would agree with this on all counts. I’ve played a bit longer now, and it becomes almost impossible to go long-term exploring because your inventory isn’t big enough to hold enough replacement garments, tools and whatever you are setting out to find.
Not to mention the resources for a full outfit are was more substantial than for the tools, and they wear down (at least that is what it feels like ) MUCH faster than weapons of the same tier. Noticed in particular with an iron Helmet that wore down in the time it took my iron-tipped Machete to drop less than one point (while farminh leather, so it’s not like I wasn’t using it xD)
But let me say this again to Kaalus: You, Sir, are made of AWEsome.
Check out 1.26.2, which I have just uploaded to Google Play. It should fix the problems you mention. Clothes are a lot more durable. More cotton is produced from plants. Squishy sound has been toned down. And a few other tweaks.
Check THIS out ! I want left handed controls, that is the up,down,left,right control pad/button on the right side, as it is and an option on minecraft PE
Another tip btw, I notice when watching people playing for the first time, they die….A LOT. its understandable being their first time in a realistic survival game. However it is still a game and no game should be that punishing to new players, its a turn off to some.For all the new players that will be trying the game, I suggest some sort of tutorial on the basics when they first start the game or at least you should also make reference to the recipedia and the help guidelines, because not everyone will know its there. Also, the game needs to be scaled difficulty wise in terms of the predators. The first time you start a game, you shouldn’t be encountering the biggest baddest predators in the game, add some sort of grace period/delay such as staying alive for 6 days, if anything make the delay an option when starting new worlds, especially considering how tedious it is to fight them, you have to run backwards while hitting them to win, which feels a little cumbersome, not sure how you’d rectify that though.
Love the steps you took to make sure you aren’t mobbed in the morning, the animals walk off from you in the morning. Nicely done.
Quick tip: Lions and Hyenas should fight each other, as they are in direct competition for food in reality and are brutal enemies.
I’d also like the days to be longer. Can’t get much done in these short days lol.
Make the player a better swimmer( He drowns much too quickly) or at least make clothes to aid in swimming, the opposite of iron sinking players, and make oars to improve the speed of boating.
Also i don’t believe fur and or leather should be this weighty in terms of swimming, it feels like i’m sinking much too fast when wear them, for iron its understandable.
Again, great game and a great trailer!!
Looking forward to further refinements
Just watched the video left me abit speechless honestly if hadn’t already been a huge fan as it is I would’ve given it a go just from that video alone so yes as stated before we should all share and kaalus great job mate
One more thing occurred to me while watching that wonderful video: It seems a lot of that wonderful underwater world will pass by unnoticed unless you are in creative mode and don’t die under water.
How about a way to craft diving gear? Harpoons/Fishing Rods?
I do agree. Perhaps some underwater life like plants or coral reefs would spruce up the rather lifeless waters. But a way to get to them is also needed.
Absolutely awesome. With so much added in this last update, the version number should be something more like 1.5. These are truly significant enhancements. And I doubt even the most die hard MCPE fan would be hard pressed to call SC a clone anymore. It truly is a significantly different beast. Can’t wait for the iOS update. You probably should have specifically mentioned the stores the game was available on, and that the update was coming soon to the other three but available on Android. But awesome video all the same. Great job. Well worth the wait.
Kaalus, I think you read my mind. I was about to work on my own trailer for Survivalcraft. But a trailer made by the creator of the game? Better than what I’d do.
Kaalus, truly amazing job… I would have to agree, however; wit a couple of the posts… clothes wear out too fast and wet sound is a bit loud. The clothes wearing out would be fine if we could hold more… with that said I have suggested before why not a backpack and/or saddlebags for a horse mule camel… it makes sense, is realistic, and should be partly coded like a box but not sure about the mobile part… neat thing would be that it’s risky now as your mount may get attacked while you rest so we are forced to care for them more in survival mode especially if they are carrying our loot!!
You know what guys, 1.26 feels like Survivalcraft 2.0 for me.. With the clothing/armor, exposure to weather, new crops, extended visual range, new trailer and everything else in between..yea…awesome update
Basically a new faze in Survivalcraft :) and it sure it is. With skins released this year, now clothes which include armor and all the impressive weapons, it does feel like brand new. I cannot wait for the next update to see what brings in a new Survivalcraft
This video even inspired me to do some new stuff I was not aware of yet!! (Riding camels!)
Amazing video Kaalus!
It really shows off the possibilities of SC well!
People, we need the thumbs up on this trailer!!! -Especially for people that have not played it yet!
I personally think SC should have already outsold any other blockgame on the market, there is just so much to do, even for the pro’s that like to tinker with the electrics system. (Some of you guys made some amazing videogames already through the electrics system!!!
It makes me wanna cry it out that this is not ten times more well known in the market than it already is!
So much more fun and work in this game, and even developed by a smaller company than similar companies, that makes SC even more amazing when you think of it!
It is always good to have an open mind, and everyone works so hard on each game indeed, you are indeed correct! (-:
Sadly for me, I cannot help it to have a certain affinity to only this game, and to reject Minecraft, lol!
(I also bought Minecraft PE as well a long time ago and I still love it too, but don’t tell the others please, lol!) :”-D
When i load world with empty name it working fine, after loading and exit world it get fixed sometimes. Creating new world didn fix this. http://youtu.be/Wk_Ox6e4AHE
not gamebreaker(i hope) bug
Really well done!!! Great to see the animation. I have also created an Animation TV (see post here: http://survivalcraft.lefora.com/topic/19405796/Proper-Animation-TV). I thought I was the only one until I saw Animator Pro. I have an Excel Macro as well to help make animation easier. Please look up my world. I think it is really special. You can also more easily see how the electronics work. Animator Pro’s resolution is 10×10, mine is 6×10. Also see my other features like the rotating lighthouse. Maybe it could feature somewhere…
Concerning this, could you add a search function in “Get Content – Community?”
Also make that new uploads with high ratings can be more easily found. Make an option for latest items top rated or something like that.
Wow, just watched it and I thought it was awesome c:
It’s interesting, it’s a serious trailer but it has that little touch of humour here and there, I like that aspect of it :)
And those credits hahahaha
I downloaded the update and I found the changes satisfactory. I’m grateful for the speed that you updated the game, but as one problem is dealt with another arises. I spawned in a snow biome(worst biome for this update) and shortly died afterwards. The biome was too big,without my clothes, I died in a matter of seconds as it is at night. No matter what direction I ran, I froze to death.
I’m requesting that you slow down the rate of freezing, for situations like this to give players a better chance to escape. Being forced to change game modes to escape breaks the experience and hurts playability and restricts biome traversal significantly. In reality, humans don’t freeze to death that fast.
At about 2:40 of the video, I think I seen a new animal that looks like an Ostrich. It is grey, though. I seen the same type of animal at about 2:51 at the right side of the screen. But I really like that trailer. I also like the credits. LOL!! Good music, too.
I sort of don’t like it how you can just get on a horse and BAM LOOK AT ME JUMPIN AND CANTERIN WOOHOO! I think it would be cool if it took you a while to “learn” how to ride. Maybe you would have to walk for a few days , then trot for another few, then canter and then jump. If you hop on a horse and start going too fast (or jumping), you’ll fall off and maybe even get knocked out (IDEA: RIDING HELMET). Also, I love how accurate the animations are (minecraft horses look like they’re in a really dekcuf up trot o-O ), EXPECIALLY HOW THEY EVEN CHANGE GAITS but it sort lf bothers me how lame the jumping is (It doesn’t even bend its knees ;-; ) and ide enjoy it if you made it the fun two beated flight that it is in rl :)
Hey Kaalus
Just wondering, did you put white bulls and white tigers in the game? You never talk about them or anything.
Also, predators need to be more hostile. I can stand right in front of a wolf and it won’t attack me.
Sharks and barracudas should fight. Animals should eat fish.
Please add animal breeding!
Thanks, and please respond.
Kaalus, could you change wolf daytime behaviour so they actively avoid people when within a few blocks please.
They sometimes attack when they brush against me, often it is their own movement that brought them in contact.
This trailer is GREAT. Perfect. Just perfect. It really depicts the best SC features.
Kaalus, I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into this :)
Visit it if you want to read what others have to say about the game, ask a question, request a feature or report a bug.

At last moment in video was free camera. How you doing this???
He did it before(watch video “riding into sunset”)…..
I think he used computer. He usally uses computer when making video.
Hi, I believe he’s just using the 3rd person camera view.. Tap the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner, then tap the eye symbol.
Nope. We can’t control in 3rd persom view(((
Amazing Trailer!!!
BTW, where I can find the Default Texture Pack for Survival 1.26??
It’s on the Files/Technical page
Just watched the video left me abit speechless honestly if hadn’t already been a huge fan as it is I would’ve given it a go just from that video alone so yes as stated before we should all share and kaalus great job mate
No one could of done better
It’s really awesome, showing unique factors that MC doesn’t have.
And it was really touching at the last part. You made a small movie kaalus.
One more thing occurred to me while watching that wonderful video: It seems a lot of that wonderful underwater world will pass by unnoticed unless you are in creative mode and don’t die under water.
How about a way to craft diving gear? Harpoons/Fishing Rods?
Or even a submarine?
I do agree. Perhaps some underwater life like plants or coral reefs would spruce up the rather lifeless waters. But a way to get to them is also needed.
Absolutely awesome. With so much added in this last update, the version number should be something more like 1.5. These are truly significant enhancements.

I wouldent be surprised if you have a second job as an explosives expert
Heheh! Loved the credits :-)
So did I LOL!
Rainforest arsonist XD
Love it
Epic! Good job Kaalus!
Amazing,best trailer ever!

I love how much work you are putting in Survivalcraft
Lookes awesome, maybe you should put the code software on your blog ;-)
I love it.. Awesome, awesome work and time you have put into SC mr. K
Amazing love it, it inspires me to build on survivalcraft soo much hard work but its worth it to create something amazing
You know what guys, 1.26 feels like Survivalcraft 2.0 for me.. With the clothing/armor, exposure to weather, new crops, extended visual range, new trailer and everything else in between..yea…awesome update

It is always good to have an open mind, and everyone works so hard on each game indeed, you are indeed correct! (-:
Sadly for me, I cannot help it to have a certain affinity to only this game, and to reject Minecraft, lol!

I don’t hate MC it’s more if their community saying I’m stupid for likening SC. Plus MC screwed up in update 1.6 I hated it.
Hey Kaalus, great trailer, thank u for showing my AnimatorPro world in it :)
about bugs…i have this bug all the time since last update:
reinstalled game didnt help :(
otherwise great update, please make PISTONS next big thing ^^
sorry4my english
Hi, did you check out my animation? It was great to see somebody else did this as well. Well done. I though I was the only one.
http://survivalcraft.lefora.com/topic/19405796/Proper-Animation-TV
I also replied to your world’s posting on the forum.

What happens when you create a new world, or load any of these without names?
When i load world with empty name it working fine, after loading and exit world it get fixed sometimes. Creating new world didn fix this. http://youtu.be/Wk_Ox6e4AHE
not gamebreaker(i hope) bug
Xperia z2 android 4.4.4
Also the same happend on my nexus 4 with android 5 installed and loading game (to tittle screen) is alot longer than it was before ~2min
Lovely video, especially that ending haha. Will a video be posted in the iOS App store?
Reblogged this on jaymes94's Blog and commented:

Great new trailer. Maybe you should have showcased fighting tactics, and armor as well, but great :)

Great work kaalus! I loved it!
Did u know I suggested cassowaries with a picture and evrything? I think I gave him the idea, thanks kaaulus.
Hey guys, I’m back. Haven’t commented on any posts in a year, give or take. And I’ve been a commenter for a good two years.
Not a year, half a year
Can’t wait for it to come out on ios!!!! Cool video.!
what is one of the last worlds?
is it the old city community build

I think freezing is at the fine rate. Most people won’t have the luck you did and if they do they can start another world
The video almost made me want to cry. Sort of. The credits are definitely worth watching (how odd). Hope to see the game continue on!
Yah, it’s nice to see Kaalus give credit to his “team”. (- :
*starts to tear up in the end of trailer*
don’t cry greystripe :,,)
