1 +"Recuced Activity during Rain" - I see how it follows rules of resemblance and logic. I like the idea that its easier to hunt for prays in their nests while its raining or entering the cage to be suprised by a flock of predators in there. This has a lot of potential but how would you introduced that to player?

1 +Well this is very problematic.
2 +\\This mechanic is mostly know form hunting simulators. Additionaly many players tend to play games while listening to something. Lastly,  It comes with readability issues. We would need tho have special "Listening" animation for each mob to make it readable, unless we going to communicate it via UI (we won't).

1 +Well this is a major issue. 
2 +\\First of all it affects navigation, and if we are making game about resources scaristy it could be more deadly then predators by themself. I see how much it may be dependant by visuals of the fog  but its high risk. 
3 +\\Second, it's efectivly enforcing sneaking meachnics. Don't you think that forcing player to reduce the movemnt speed at effectivley entire map is could be radically affecting game pacing? 
4 +\\However, i like the idea of "I am traveling thourgh fog, and hapens to stumble upon pray that is suprised as much as I am" 
5 +\\I think problem lies in the fact that you give double advantage to mobs;

7 +2 - they will hear player before they can be seen.

1 +First of all, good job. I like how you managed to make the system quite simple yet make it sensibly advanced. There are few problem that we must adress. 
2 +\\First problem being that current system realys too much on audio. I see and i like how it plays and what is that role. Unfortunetly, if we decided to go with it we are making few assumptions.  Biggest assumption is that peaople will actualy be listening to our game. Why? Big thing about survival game is that player set's their progression pace how they pleas. Many player don't like to rush them and sweat only when they decied to. That means when they are grinding resources, or just exploring they usually listening to something, podcast music or just yt. Next assumption is that they are using a good headphones, or eaven headphones.  What i mean by that audio can't be a main driver of player actions. You may use it to help player but not force them to relay on it.
3 +\\Second, i like the enviromental conditions based on elevation and water distance. However, i feel like you scratched surface with those  hint's. I see how event director could be introdeced. Some events that can be triggerd automaticly or if conditions are met, for examples: 
4 +\\- Player leaves a dead body of animal: they wait and scavengers appear. 
5 +-  PC is bleeding for a longer time? Predator that smeels blood apprears 
6 +-  player travesers world and if time and weather are correct they may hear a noises of fight and see birds flying away form there. If they go there they see a predator and prey fighting. (Here i don't condratic myself because it is optional and is  visual component is added). 
7 +\\Let me know if i expilained my point here well. 
8 +\\Overall great job!  Good start with great potential with only few quircks.  
9 +\\Review the document apply my remarks as well as preapare raw draft of this event director. Once both are ready, let me know!

1 +Mainly i desined this document to focus on the creatures behaviours. So main focus in here is not PvE more likely EvE like how creatures will engage with each other. Like where the creatures will rest, what they will react to, how they behave, etc. These information could be used by the player to learn the creatures behaviours but i don't think that it is heavily rely on audio.
2 +\\Since this is a survival game, I think that we could also benefit from the sense of hearing. Yes, some players will not going to listen the environment audio but some will do it. Also, if we focus on the people who'll listen podcast while playing, we may lose the immersion elements, where the people who listens the game audio will be sad about it. Some gamers prefers immersion in survival games.
3 +\\For the environmental conditions you are completely right, it is just a scratch at the surface and I think that instead of implementing in this document it should be another document for the event manager. Which you send me the event manager reference video to me which I will look at it.
