For now, they are categorised into three groups (prey, predators and scavengers). In the future, changes could include additions and updates to these documents. These creatures’ behaviour varies under observable conditions, such as day and weather cycles.

1 +From Zone 2 to 4 Creatures have less predictable behaviour. Creatures make less noise. They can be found in less predictable locations and are more likely to migrate between micro-zones or to areas close to their nests. Creatures will interact more frequently with one another.

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.

1 -Since we will have different creatures in each layer, what about using the experience level system which also affects the players interaction with the world. 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.

1 -Definetly, since we will have specific creatures, they will leave their own spesific marks on the environment. If that's okay I will try to discuss this with the narrative team bc they could inform us about how they imagined what kind of marks they could leave on the environment.

1 -I was more likely thinking about the idea that if there are no preadators around prey could use it as a shelter. And this will create a suprise moment for the player bc they could not know if there will be preys or predators in here.

1 -How would you prefer to approach in here? I think that the fog creates a great layer in here to create tension.
2 -\\I think we could solve this issue with changing the dependencies. 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?

1 -I see what you mean I will adapt according to it. However I think we should also plan the weather events that could occur in the game world. For instance when you say dessert layer I started to think that will we have smth like a sand storm.

1 -But we can't say that the creatures will not react on environment sounds that comming from nearby places. This may ruin the immersion. 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.

1 -Introducing to the player via NPC would be a way or players could experience it and they may start to think that okay caves could be dangerous to enter. Which I think that this is always the case in most of the games. If you entering inside a cave, you could find smth great and you may face enemies that could kill you. I think players could create the connection between these.
