Hello Obsidian Team, I love Grounded, and as a solo player who doesn't want to play with real humans, I hope future updates — or Grounded 2 — bring deeper life, choice, and world interaction. Some of the reasons why games like Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V), and Warcraft became the best-selling games ever are that their world feels alive: villagers, decisions that matter, and bases that grow into living communities. Grounded has the potential to take that concept even further. Here are features many solo players would love: Automatic turrets and towers functioned by NPC characters that defend the base even without player control. Recruitable NPCs or friendly bugs that live with us, patrol, and help in combat Base-life system where NPCs move in if rooms, food, and comfort exist NPC team management with small squads, we can train, assign roles to, and command Light base-management and crafting depth, making the backyard feel like a thriving settlement RPG-meets-RTS gameplay, where choices affect relationships, world events, and future outcomes A diplomacy system where NPC factions can become friends or enemies based on actions Occasional base raids, especially if we anger rival NPC teams Rare but meaningful world conflicts between bug groups or NPC squads A stronger story campaign with cinematics and player-shaped decisions Become a leader of one small village or NPC team Character customization pet and ncp friend equipment and customization Almost all creatures are tameable and mountable. Can get a lot of pets in my base, where they can also defend it, even though they are in their pet house Many solo players would gladly pay more, even if it's too expensive for features that make the world feel alive, reactive, and full of long-term decision-making. In the future, you can also add an online feature in Grounded 3, not Grounded 2, a feature where people can buy and sell real items. The player can also buy an in-game items and equipment from you. Thank you for creating such an amazing game. I hope these ideas inspire future development. Sincerely, A hopeful solo player

Hey guys, I was scrolling across Kickstarter recently and came upon a new project from the makers of the Original Dungeon Siege games, and several other games I grew up playing that seems pretty cool called Wildman! Wildman: An "Evolutionary" Action RPG From the creative team behind Dungeon Siege 1 & 2, Total Annihilation, and the Supreme Commander Series comes the next great ARPG with real-time battle campaigns… Check it out here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uBBDO82ZWXQ Imagine a prehistoric world. Your tribe is slowly starving and as their best warrior, they have tasked you to venture out into the unexplored world and find the resources that they desperately needs to survive. As you leave the safety of your tribal cave, you’re attacked by hordes of strange beasts and dinosaurs that want to tear you limb from limb. Leaping into battle, you smash and maul your opponents — leaving their broken bodies in your wake. Your tribe is finally safe and wants to enjoy the spoils of your victory. But not you. You don’t want to settle. You want more lands... more weapons... and even bigger rewards. You are Wildman. As you explore uncharted lands and battle new enemies, you’ll discover hidden treasures, powerful weapons, and jaw-dropping technologies, as you you battle through the ages You’ll gain new skills, weapons, and armor. And as you gain victories and experience, you’ll… Unleash The Power Of Your Own Prehistoric Army… Siege enemy cities and pillage their lands... Call upon war dogs and elite units to rip your enemies apart... Unleash powerful magic on your foes to shatter their defenses... Transform into animal forms and use primal melee powers to kill the enemy warlords… Get Ready To Conquer The World… What's particularly cool is Project Mercury, a brand new visionary tech tool for developers and modders that not only allow you to have very powerful modding tools for Wildman, but for any game or project you want to use it on. It's a little tricky to explain briefly, so check out this video update! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuGdQqUhKD4 learn more on the the Kickstarter page, but hurry less than a week to go! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaspoweredgames/wildman-an-evolutionary-action-rpg
