Survival 
By: Jacob Mapstone
Why? 
Are we already surviving? 
Why would we survive in video games?
Start of my research 
Review of dayz 
Questioning why 
survival is the 
most enticing 
part of the game
Change in survival 
No longer using survival instincts on daily basis 
Modern life doesn’t use it adequately
How to make survival games fun 
Article about what makes a good survival game 
Things like multiple ways of gathering food, and recourses 
not just a single way to play
Important parts for revision process 
Each from different perspectives 
Different topics 
Both helped fuel thesis 
Both important
Production of thesis 
Ignites old, unused instinct 
Fuels that urge of survival 
Millions of others experience same kind of interest 
in survival games
Solving the Mystery 
In other genres of games, you could simply 
point out features that made it fun 
Survival genre games also had features 
but primarily were fun for the survival 
aspect
INSTINCT
Bringing back the instinct 
We live in a world where most 
people don’t have to worry about growing or 
finding their own food 
We have long since annulled our survival instinct 
Games have brought them back
Through my research 
This is why the article by Dr. Jim Taylor is 
important and interesting
