We are the Identical Studios two students and independent game developers who studying computer science and engineering at Akdeniz University.
For the Senior Design Project course, we will develop a computer game. This game is going to be a survival game based on a story.
Primitive Pursuit is an immersive survival game that pushes your endurance to its limits. In this game, you must navigate a challenging wilderness environment while managing your basic needs such as hunger, health, and sleep.
It is a unique survival experience crafted in the Unity game engine. As a player, you're thrown into a dynamic open-world environment where your survival skills are put to the ultimate test. The game offers a realistic experience by integrating various survival elements such as inventory management, health and hunger systems, building capabilities, and even the need for sleep.
This project demonstrates the use of various Unity modules, handlers, and behaviors to construct a complex and engaging game world.

Unity is declared the platform for implementation because it is a popular choice for game development because it is cross-platform, easy to use, has a large asset library, and has a strong community of developers. It also has a number of powerful features that make it a flexible choice for creating a wide range of games and interactive content.
Unity has a large and active community of developers and artists who share tips, advice, and resources with each other. This has been a great resource as we are new to Unity or looking for help with specific issues.

Expansion of Current Modules: We anticipate that the existing modules such as Inventory, Health, Hunger, Audio, Camera, Sleep, Movement, and Building will undergo further expansion to enrich gameplay. This could involve introducing additional item types in the Inventory module, more intricate health dynamics in the Health module, or more complex hunger systems in the Hunger module.
-
Introduction of New Modules: In order to enhance game complexity and depth, new modules could be introduced. Potential additions include a Climate/Weather module, which could alter player stats and game dynamics; a Quest/Storyline module, to offer specific goals and rewards to players; or an NPC Interaction module, which would enable dialogues or trade with non-player characters in the game world.
-
Advanced AI: We also foresee the development of more sophisticated AI-controlled characters. These could range from enemies with varying levels of intelligence and behaviour, to ally characters who can assist the player, or neutral characters that can interact with players in unexpected ways.
-
Multiplayer Capabilities: Should the game architecture and design permit, we expect to introduce multiplayer functionality. This could include cooperative play, player versus player dynamics, or a shared online world where players can interact and participate in a shared experience.
-
Monetization Strategies: If this project moves toward commercial distribution, strategies for monetization will become a significant aspect of development. This could involve introducing in-game purchases, developing subscription models, or incorporating ad integrations.
-
Optimization and Rigorous Testing: Continuous testing and optimization is a crucial part of future developments. This will involve regular play-testing, feedback collection, and debugging sessions to identify and rectify any performance bottlenecks or gameplay issues.
