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. - Date

For instance, let's say as the player levels up the creatures also levels up like their HP will increase, their armour will increase, prey's damage will increase, etc. This will help us to maintain the challenge while the PC getting stronger. - Date

We could reduce the fog density, and we could reduce the predators activity which the player may encounter a predator in rare ocasion and if they stumble upon each other the prey could act suprised or scared which will create a gap for the player to be prepared to fight against the predator. 3 +\\What do you think? - Date

I understand that we shouldn't be relying on audio but I guess that we should also leave a space for creatures for reacting the environmental sounds that could hint to the creatures that smth is approaching. Maybe we could solve this reducing the sound cue range, that hints the creature smth is approaching. - Date
