Survivor Diaries news

So, the rundown on Survivor. Yes, I will admit, it died. FOR A BIT. But now, it is back, and better than ever. I'm attacking it with a renewed sense of purpose and vigor, writing and documenting and blogging and *ahem* assembling a team. So if anybody out there is interested in lessening the load and speeding up the pace (or knows somebody who might be), hit me up either via PM or at bblakeney@gmail.com

Also, a sweet piece of news: The hero of Survivor (The Guy you'll be playing as), Matt J. Carter, has just opened up a blog! You can locate it here: Mattjcarter.blogspot.com

Feel free to check it out, friend him, talk with him, send him naked pictures, whatever. For all intents and purposes he is a living, breathing guy, and he'll keep you updated on the escalating situation in New York.

Now, for the features that are gonna make the cut:
Key Features
Realistic,
to scale map of New York City. Climb buildings, drive through abandoned
city streets, take up sniping positions atop the Chrysler Building,
rappel down the front of the Empire State Building, or drive a
motorcycle through the subway tunnels.
Reputation
tracker - keep track of the relationships you forge in your adventures
in the war zone that is New York City. Unlock better gear, vehicles,
and favors. Of course, a well-placed bribe will also do wonders.
Hideouts
- Fortify your base to make the ultimate safe-haven in the city. Find
an abandoned warehouse on the docks, or an apartment in Bed-Stuy, and
trick it out with claymores, alarms, mounted guns, reinforced doors,
and ammo caches.
Real
War Tactics - Capture areas of the city, and the FAC or Army will
reinforce their presence there. It will become "their" area, and
depending on your reputation at the time, you'll either be shot at or
welcomed.
Real-World Clock - Time in game is synced to your computer's clock.
Real
World Needs - Your energy in the game will drop as you perform grueling
activities, and you'll have to eat to regain your strength. Have a
snack every four hours or so, and you should be alright.
In-Game
Assets - If you capture a radio station, it'll stop playing the
state-run propaganda, and will instead broadcast some good old
fashioned underground pirate radio. Capture an area, it'll become
friendly. Liberate some hostages, they'll open up their shops and give
you a discount. Quid pro Quo, Baby.

I will talk to you all very soon!
