Smalland: Survive the Wilds VR
Survival"Before the time of the giants, we lived freely under the Sun and Moon. Centuries have passed, but those stories of the surface world have been passed down through the generations. Now the giants are gone, and you, Vanguard, must venture out into the wilds once more. Be brave, and do not falter…"

The game is dead no updates no communication.
Do not waste your money and time!
They do not respond in discord it’s dead, PC is their main interest. They are not adding new contentor fixing issues No updates at all! This is dead don’t waste your money.
There is so much better tiles to get.
Game Friends do not waste your money!
They have hardly done anything to improve this game. It’s a joke. Don’t waste your money!
DEVELOPMENT TEAM!, what are you doing???
You are not listening to the players! You have very little updates until now… where is this big update you promised???

Ok Developers and community I have played it through omg total struggle but let’s get it fixed!
Hotfix 2
The graphics and story are an ok start! Still needs some work but for release it’s ok.
This however is completely ruined by the character, interaction and menu mechanics. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel go look at Medieval Dynasty the menu characters and box interactions are well done! It’s actually what you need to bring this to a top title!
Seated mode it needed
Lots of settings and Adjustment in menu are need e.g brightness.
The base tree is too bright!
Some Resource can’t be picked up they are block by node or wall edge.
Some resources can’t be harvested due to terrain clipping.
Where to load the bow from would be a helpful tip to add
Adding a sand box mode is essential
The whole riding the dragon fly and hornet is just lame.
Building with hammer is just frustrating in every way.
Put resources into you slot in front is just frustrating and should not be
Movement is horrible teleport hurts the hand!
Singled click Run needs to be added asap
Base building is just frustrating 1 item at a time is just stupid
Various hardness levels needs to be added
You can walk on water on some areas and others not….
The difference between low and high level harvest tools is not really bring much to the game.
Taming is buggy I tame grasshopper but it doesn’t show in my stall and I can’t re tame another.
Hit box for harvesting is still not right and annoying
The very last mission is bugged the second wave doesn’t always come out unless you go up to it.
There still lots more I just don’t have enough time but this are a good start!!!!
your welcome!

Movement is too clunky
Using teleport hurts the hand and thumb from joystick constantly using.
Fix: we need an option to run with single click from joystick.
Teleport button needs to be changeable or this is going to end in RSI! (Repetitive strain injury!!)
14/5/24
Items are not able to be picked up to at hard edges and if the go slightly into terrain. This just annoying!
Building and the hammer is just frustrating to use and very slow 1 item at a time. This should be just easier and fun. It not!
I was also thrown up in air after start quest Ants and the unstuck button just wasn’t on the menu any more to use game over! So broken!
The elevator balloon goes the wrong way sometimes.
The inventory is clumsy and hard to use especially when moving items and picking up. This is very important to fix.
Some items clean just drop out of your hand when moving items 2 items come to mode bottle caps and grasshopper leg but there are more.
Placing some items down when building just disappear completely.
Seated mode is missing very important!
Lots of menu settings and adjustments you would expect are just not there…
The tree house gamma lighting is terrible blinding horrible.
Picking up items is terrible
Trying to put items in bag is shocking!!!
Cutting trees mining items is inconsistent and annoying the item needed symbol also gets in the way too.
Some items are in the terrain and can’t be gathered.
The teleport button hurts after using for a while it needs to be changeable to button rather then stick
Tutorial is non existent and is need for some things
Can not figure out how to use bow and arrows because nothing tell you how it say to load witch I think I have but idk it doesn’t work.
Suff insta respawns and is cool ish but weird too
AI enemies is just stupid not even challenging.
One good thing is the art work is ok needs polish still tho.
There are so many more issues and bugs omg I just don’t have the time to QA your game!!!!
Hotfix 1:
inventory slot, did you even try playing this before releasing it’s no better than using inventory button which was the whole point of making it easier to put things into bag…
Fix: We should be able to drop items over it from above (not have to touch it and drop omg) or throw them through you / or over shoulder like you have a bag on (see medieval dynasty)
Just can’t believe you still are not understanding or listening to the community feedback this was a really important issue to fix.
Items are still terrible to pickup and rolling all over and under the mesh… this needs to be easier and quicker it ridiculous! average play time is “40 mins” we don’t want to be just picking up resources in this short time!
Fix: no rolling 1 stack pickup dropped next to resource node.
Please realise this is VR play styles not flat screen because you are still thinking flat screen!
For people considering buying this,
Do not buy this terrible release until they fix it!. It’s is so full of all kinds of issues (see reviews here if you don’t believe me and there is plenty of feed back) it should still be in pre release.
Sold at top price but not even close to something that should have been released yet and not for that price. Do not waste your money!
There is no really good way to give suggestions and bug reports discord is only set up for flat screen and they haven’t invested any time try to really incorporate VR into it.
Sending emails these days is such! nonsense, unlike most other games now that are all fully run via discord.
Discord has only one channel and is a true disorganised disaster. I saw a player asking questions and they didn’t really know the answers and some answers were just wrong.
One player trying to help with suggestions and was not really taken seriously further to that they let who knows…(maybe one of them)…diss the player … very disappointing!
Do not tell me to send to an email! Fix the bugs and issues get yourself’s sorted out! And proper communication channels.
Don’t be fooled by the 4/5 stars reviews and with discount codes! It’s people living in hope that they give it a higher rating than they should to appease a better version….
I will be happy to update my rating in the future if it improves…
Absolutely disappointing! I’m
Am I missing something?
I want to say that I love this gave, but unfortunately that’s not the case. I see that a lot of reviewers state the original (pc) version is way better and more explanatory. I just got into the vr world and thought this game looked fun so I bought it. I love the concept of the game, but the game doesn’t give you a lot of help of finding items needed to complete quests. I also want to note that there is not any walk through videos or notes anywhere that I could find that could help. I have found videos for the game but they don’t seem to be for the vr vision, they all have maps but I can not find the map on the game. When I ask google it says press the M button, like I said I just got the vr so i don’t know if I’m just missing something or what but I can not find a M button or a map. It asks you to collect certain items but doesn’t tell you where or how to find those materials and you can’t move on to a new task unless you find them.
Fun - Fustrating and Half Baked
Graphics look like they are from a Nintendo 64
Sound Effects are good
Controls are okay, not great
Combat is clumsy
Building feels like an add on
Levels feel too bland and empty
It's not worth the asking price.
Would say £10 max.
Smallands progress impossible
Started out okay. Figuring out things slowly. Made it to Stoney Shore and got flint and killed a few wasps/bees (lots of honey around do not sure if these are wasps). Now stuck. Can’t get seeds that are needed to create tools that the plants seem to require to cut down. Quest for bits of metal seems impossible because screws and bottle caps can’t me refined into mettle. Could use dev help urgently!
No support
I waited for a while to buy this game because at $29.99was very expensive. Now that I’ve started playing I’ve run into some snags, but there seems to be no online community to give tips and hints. I can’t find any videos that give walk-throughs. I’m stuck at basic steps like how do you find Flint? Where are the bones? I have looked and looked everywhere and cannot find these. It’s frustrating because there are several more biomes that could be unlocked. If I could finish these quests. A little help, please developers.
