Survival Engine

Survival Engine is a demo of a Unity template asset for creating survival games, not a full game. Its sample gameplay challenges you to survive 10 days or more in the wilderness by finding food and water, fighting wild animals, crafting tools and constructions, growing plants and exploring the map.

Survival systems

The template includes systems for gathering resources, crafting, inventory, character equipment and attributes such as health, hunger and thirst. You can hunt and fish, farm by sowing seeds and growing plants and fruit, eat and cook food, and fight wild animals. Items have durability, food can spoil, and storage boxes hold supplies; consumables and equipment can also provide bonus effects to your stats.

Animal behaviors include wandering, escaping and chasing, and the template also includes pets. A game clock runs through a day-and-night cycle, while a random world generator creates the map. Save and load systems are included, as are customizable actions for adding your own code.

Included assets

The asset collection includes animated male and female characters, along with animated deer, bears, wolves, rabbits, squirrels, birds and bees. It also contains basic materials such as wood, grass and rock; gathering tools including axes, pickaxes and fishing rods; and weapons and armor such as swords, spears, bows and arrows.

Other assets include berries, apples, nuts, meat and fish, plus cooked foods such as fish and chips, skewers and bread. Constructions include fires and shelters, while environmental assets include trees, bushes, rocks and floor patterns. Farming plants include corn, potatoes and wheat, and the collection also provides 2D icons for interactable models.
