ABOUT THE GAME:
Starsand is a mystic survival game set among the dunes of an arcane desert. An open-world full of danger, vast environments and mysterious happenings await you! Explore, hunt, craft, build - and SURVIVE.
About the aurora, I live in Alaska and it truly is that beautiful. When you get the greens and reds dancing together, it’s one of the most beautiful sights you can see.
Did no one else notice that there were two moons? I couldn't believe Fooster didn't mention it when he looked up, and don't see anyone else mentioning it in the comments. I'm not just crazy, right?
Can't wait for more Fooster! Thanks for playing this.
There is two moons.... the story will reveal all
Your not crazy we did saw that too
I wasnt aware this was a scifi game until that point. Perhaps Mr Fooster already knew, and didnt think it was worth mentioning?
I did saw that too🤣🤣
Who cares? Nothing special about that
Probably Hands down this is The hardest survival game I've ever played, Navigating is extremely difficult, you gotta use a lot of Markers and turrets, or you can spend hours trying to find your way back home. Good luck Fooster.
Nah try playing scum
You haven't played The Long Dark before The Faithful Cartographer update, it seems.
Green Hell is pretty unforgiving
@@sutterman21 green hell is actually really easy
It’s pretty tough especially if you have 4 alien worms after you at once and you’re trying to get stuff you need
It may just be me but doesn’t the guy kinda look like a soccer player. Also, just looking out from the building and all around with it is nothing but huge sand dunes….and more sand. Makes me wanna panic. Now I have a new game to play. You’re content is always great Fooster, keep it up! Love your videos!
Soccer?! Soccer?! *angry European noises*
Surely you wanted to say football!
I said what I said people! I call football something else. You know…NFL and such. Didn’t mean to offend but here we are lol
@@narutobro1000 No, no, no, no, you call *wrongly* something else football, something that barely requires you to use feet.
@@idontknow4449 holy shit, you just explained the name of it to me. Now it makes kind of sense? Since you don’t really use your foot to play it
Hey fooster just a little recommendation for survival, once you get clothing and protection from the elements you should try to sleep during the day and explore during the night. You also wouldn't need to worry about heat as much. Also if this game is like real life then most of the desert animals would come out at night and so be easy foe you to hunt.
I think the game said you can only sleep at night
The Aurora Borealis will look crap if you are surrounded by electric lights. For the ultimate experience, you need to go into the wilds, where the only light is from a campfire at most 😁👍🏻 Will really recommend anywhere in Finnmark, the very north of Norway 👍🏻
and my uncle in alsaka said it also deppends on the time of the year
I have seen it in both Labrador in the North with no light pollution and in Newfoundland in an area with noise pollution, huge difference. Being further North may have made it brighter as well
I live in the deep Interior of Alaska away from light pollution. The Aurora is ever changing and is like dancing ribbons of sparkling light in the sky. Lack of a moon is very helpful. The Aurora is only visible in the winter months because you need darkness. You also need a cloudless sky. This means it will likely be bitterly cold as well, unfortunately. Most images of the Aurora include heavy edits to bring out purples and reds. The common colors to see are yellows and greens mostly. In my seven winters up here, I can say the Aurora is absolutely magical to see, but it isn't the same every night--it isn't even the same minute to minute.
I live in central Canada in a town of 2-3000 the aurora borealis is beautiful some nights it’s brighter than the moon and the street lights
Its pretty good in Alaska
A cold climate is WAAY harder to survive, but if it is to choose between a desert and a snowy mountain I would choose the mountains
Having had to do both in military training, I agree...but then I'd rather be cold than hot. Can only take off so many clothes. 🤣
I feel like that's a blanket statement. Cold environment usually means snow, snow means water.
You get lost in the desert especially a bad desert that reaches about 100F you'll sweat and people's immediate reaction is to take of their clothes which then means your sweat which keeps you cool gets evaporated off your body and your body dries out. And you may not find water if you survive the day you then must endure the night which....gets cold and because you went into a desert you probably are not dressed for cold nights.
Point is desert has no water and is hot and cold.
I'm no survival expert. Most of my info is coming from survivorman and others. BUT based on his show he's stayed at all the snow locations the full amount of time. But when he did one of the hotter deserts he did not.
@@johnblack8872 Yes, that's what I am saying. Between a cold climate and a deser, the desert is harder to survive because it is empty of resources but on the otherhand, any cold climate will require shelter and fire.
That's why cold climates are harder to survive in. Also risk of frostbite.
Regarding the snow, you cannot use it as a reliable source of water, as you will get sick from it
I'd rather in a cold weather, less bug
LEARN YOGA and other stuff to learn to control youre body i did i can walk outside with shorts till about 10. - celsius
Omg this game is so freaking amazing! I would definitely do the cold.
I am having it hard believing this man had to run a fricking desert marathon ( as normal marathons are of 42 kms/20 miles ) and this guy can't run a kilometer ( 0.6 miles ) without getting half dead .
Man gets lost in a desert :- Builds a fricking settlement .
Rescuers :- Yo Jeremy , are ya thinking on making this yer permanent home or something ?
27:31 "I Was Here" How mysterious
Calm down Fooster I don't think we had a 5 second break without you rambling on in panic mode.. 😂
it puts a smile on my face when fooster uploads he has helped me through my rough times of my lives
Literally same! I’m so excited to watch his videos
Mate please please PLEASE post Mist Survival. Literally the best thing you could ever post. I NEED IT.
Facts lol
Fooster, I wish you would return to this game and give it a solid run through. This is a GREAT game of survival. So much to learn and experience. This is a very entertaining experience that just keeps expanding and giving new experiences. This episode barely scratches the surface. I will be scraping your profile to discover how much effort you put into this game. Hoping it was another addiction you had for a short while.
This gonna be a damn good series
The aurora borealis can be completely and unimaginable beautiful. I live in northern Canada, and it can be so bright you can read by it. And it really, truly dances. It does depend on the time of year, light pollution, and solar activity. This year the sun has been very active, and we have had some truly spectacular sky shows this winter- the aurora reflects on the snow, and its like living inside a nebula. There is also the aurora australis, which is the southern hemisphere's version!
So nice to see you post
I am a little bit of a freak when it comes to cold tolerance and lack of heat tolerance, but I think an extreme hot climate is just objectively worse. If you're cold, physical activity can do a lot to improve your situation, you can always add more layers of clothing, and fire is a relatively achievably thing that is a game changer. In a hot climate, what can you do but get in the shade, splash yourself with water, fan yourself, and remove all of your clothes (you can only remove a certain number of layers lol)? At a certain point, you're unbearably hot and you can do nothing about it.
I hear the arguments, but I still completely disagree. Staying cool in the heat may be an occasional chore, but staying warm in freezing cold temps is a calorie burning nightmare... all the time. Just sitting around doing nothing trying to stay warm is a struggle, even next to a fire; forget about moving around gathering food/fuel/water etc. And then if you get hot from exertion because you have 8 layers on, you start to get damp from sweat, and if you're not extremely careful it's minutes from hypothermia and death.
If you have relatively decent shelter from the sun, you can always hide out in the shade during the day and move around in the early evening/ morning when it's cooler out to gather supplies. You'll get absolutely no break when it's cold.
unless you have been in scouts for years you wont achieve any fire for hours
and in a very cold enviorment the fire will just go away when you actually get it to burn
and with physical activites comes sweat and you become shit cold when you sweat in a cold area
and layers of clothes doesnt really help if you are in a extremely cold area.
and if your in the cold for too long you get frostbite and if you have frostbite for too long your fingers or toes starts becoming black and then you need to amputate because it will spread and rot all of your flesh
so they are both as equally bad
According to Les Stroud and many other survivalists its the opposite. You cant sleep when its too cold your body will force you to wake up, and while you can do some activity to warm yourself up you cant sleep at the same time. Also, you have to be careful with that activity because in a sub-zero survival situation if you sweat, you die. The sweat wont evaporate and you just have a layer of water on you waiting to freeze you to death.
Any survival situation is equally challenging and hard, that's why it's called survival, not thriving. But if I were to choose between being deposited by fate on a tropical island or the middle of a tundra I'd say tropical Island. Cause in that environment besides, careful planning, utilizing knowledge and still lots of hard work, I can at least be sure there's some food and drink lying around me. So it is more forgiving place to be resource-wise. But of course this is still offset by it's set of inconveniences. Choose your poison, do you wanna face hypothermia or malaria in your sleep, do you wanna find a deadly scorpion in your shoe or the leftovers of your toes.
@@Galejro "Any survival situation is equally challenging and hard" thats just not true. Yes every location has its advantages and disadvantages but its not like they all completely even each other out. For example lets look at surviving in a temperate rain forest. Advantages: lots of drinkable water, lots of edible plants, relatively easy to catch and eat game. Disadvantages: rain sucks, possibly some predators (though very unlikely there are any big enough to want to threaten a human)
Now lets look at surviving in the arctic. Advantages: Literally none. Disadvantages: The ambient temperature will kill you in minutes, all game animals are highly adapted and blend in well, polar bears are apex predators that will absolutely go after humans
I watched a bit of this in early access, and heck yes I would luv for you to continue the series. One of the things I like most about your playthroughs, is that you don't spend an exorbitant amount of time in the freakin menus... I know it's part of the game, but you actually concentrate on the game itself.
Makes it an enjoyable experience. Thank you for that.
Insta sub and always the thumbs-up from Colombia, South America.
Aw thanks Ricardo
As a person who almost got lost in a desert during a sandstorm... this is absolutely TERRIFYING! It's not an experience I would ever like to repeat ever again!
The game certainly brings back some memories - especially how hard it was walking through hellish hot sands under the sun with no water and shade...
Though, I have to say - your first night in this game got you thinking of something I wouldn't have. My initial thought would be - why the hell are there TWO MOONS in the sky?!
It's kinda giving the hint that you are no longer on Earth, actually =)
Cold for me, I can't stand the hot weather. I think I would have better chance at surviving in the cold. So happy that you decided to play this next Fooster! been patiently waiting for this game on your channel.
This is a beautiful, hardcore survival game. Glad to see you picked it up. Have a nice play, hope to see much more soon. o/ I have a starting tip: when the sun starts to set, start running towards it. You will reach a better oasis, There's a camel there, tame it by feeding it dates 3 times. It's smooth sailing from there on ;)
Fooster: look at that!
_Stares at two moons in the sky_
Fooster: that aurora borealis is impressive!
I know it's been a year, but I'd love to see more of this game at some point
I live in Canada and we get to see the Aurora Borealis quite a bit. When going out of town, away from the city lights and ideally atop a large hill/mountain, it's awe inspiring. The colours are mind bending.
You will very rarely see them if you're in a city.
Love all your videos brother!! You're literally the only person I watch play at all!!
I live in Norway, so the aurora borealis is something we can see often here. The calrity of it varies, sometimes its this great veil of colors across the night sky, but other times its faint. My mother used to tell me that if you whistle at it, it will dance
Oh nice, this is the game I suggested to you a few months ago, I picked it this week and it is pretty good so far, good luck and enjoy Fooster.
This happened to me. I am an Egyptian from Alexandria. I went on a safari trip in the Western Desert in the oases and got lost for 6 days and 7 nights. I was 23 years old and my brother was 21. It was a very harsh experience and I will not forget it for the rest of my life :)
Looking into the sky. Two moons.
Fooster: seems alright
c:
New favourite series. We need more asap. Wouldve been cool to line up the sun with that standing rock
I’m very new to the channel-only within the last week-but your videos have been such a great way to unwind after my busy days. Just wanted to say thank you Fooster for making consistent, quality content and I’m a subscriber for sure! I’ve already watched several videos recently and as someone who doesn’t play these survival games myself, I am still deeply interested in them, so this is a perfect compromise with a great voice and personality behind the screen to guide to boot!
I speak for us all when I say WE WANT MORE
the aurora borealis in games is usually very much enhanced so that it's extremely visible and beautiful looking. whereas in real life, how it looks depends heavily on the season and where in the world you are and see it, as well as the fact that it not always being as visible or cool each time even in the same place. usually it's more beautiful the closer to the north-/south pole you are. it is really beautiful irl so the person that told you that must've had way too high expectations, most likely from expecting it to be like in the games, but it's definitely worth seeing and gives a kinda breathtaking experience if you've never seen it before.
you sir just destroyed my life long dream of seeing the aurora borealis up north. and that is also the answer to your first question. i would most definitely survive in a cold environment if i could choose. i mean the heat can also vary between idk lets say desert and rainforest then i would definitely chose the rainforest area. if anyone voluntarily chooses to survive in a desert then they have a death wish and this game is exhibit A. this looks absolutely brutal and i 100% wanna see more of it.
Noooo lmao, someone told it to me! I have never seen the northern lights but I felt bad for the person who was let down
I would personally go with the cold. You can put on as much clothing as you want, but you can only take off so much.
omg thats what i always say and people look at me all crazy
@@viciousvictoriawithbigcat Well you do have a cat. Crazy cat lady confirmed.
@@Assdafflabaff lmao
@@Assdafflabaff jokes on you i actually have 3 cats
@@viciousvictoriawithbigcat Actually the cat in your picture looks a lot like one of mine. I'm embarrassed to admit how many cats I have :P
Nice stuff Fooster! Glad youre doing better
Games like this need to get more light shed on them they are really cool being based after a true story
More of this for SURE looks perfectly Fooster to me. Kinda has alien cube meets the forest meets journey vibes. Awesome stuff
This..lol there's an amazing story to uncover
To choose between;
1) sunburn, baked potato brain, and none stop sweating - day in day out. Plus, never again can wear a cozy sweater.
And 2) try not to get frostbite, always have wet socks, and high risk of getting a cold.
As a person that don't look that good in revealing clothes, I would definitely choose the very cold climate. I love fireplaces, blankets, hot drinks, and cozy thick clothes way too much to choose to live in a place where it's around 40-50°C during the day. You would be mostly able to be outside during the night/evenings, and have to protect your skin and brain from baking. Besides, sleeping/cuddling would be a nightmare unless you have an AC. And the most important part, I would never be able to own a poor dog in such warm climate, the breeds I want prefer colder climates! Either way, both ways, you would be spending most of your life indoors, and have to prepare yourself whenever you want to go outside. I would be missing swimming in a lake and walking around in a cute dress, sunbathing and stuff. But if it was a choice, I would rather live in a cold place. Even though I hate freezing, it's easier to find a way to warm yourself up, than cooling yourself down, in my opinion. As we like to say; it's never a bad weather, just badly dressed ;}
(A different question would be if anyone would prefer to live on the ocean or something drastic like that?)
This is awesome! We've seen more forest and island survival games than we can count, but I don't think I've ever seen a desert survival game. What a cool idea! 100% we need more of this Fooster, keep up the great content!
Yes!!! I've been wanting to see you in this environment!! Saw this game like 4 months ago and thought it was perfect
Just bought this game based on your video! This is the fourth game I have gotten after watching your videos lol. Thanks for doing them!!!
The Aurora Borealis in North Canada is absolutely beautiful, the lights dancing almost feel heavy, I understand why my ancestors thought they were people from the past talking to them, it's a life changing experience to see
what i liked for fooster is he never begged how many likes he needed to make a new episode
I would love to see more of this keep up the good work
Hey man im loving your
content i watched one of
Ur videos couple of days ago and since then im adicted keep up the great work ❤👍
20:10 If you wanted to cover large distances without consuming resources quickly traveling at night in the desert would be a better option.
Avoiding physical exertion during daytime desert heat would be the main reason.
The desert gets cold at night; physical movement would help counter hypothermia, as well as help retain vital hydration that would otherwise be lost as sweat during daytime.
Also when your feeling hot, the first thing you feel like doing is removing clothes, which in a desert you don't want to do as it's not only helping you stay cool but also protecting you from burning up quicker.
Dude the outro is so fire!!! loved this episode!! Your the best Fooster! 😁👍
I love anything you play! It's so enjoyable to watch! Also, I love your voice, very smooth! Your voice makes me come back for more alone!😍
fooster, the feeling which you were talking about in the beginning of the video is something like hallucination.
Cold for sure, I’ve been a hunter since I was 6 years old. Fur is mighty warm.
First, thank you for the fun content. Especially when you play with others, it gets even better.
Second, the Auroras and their intensity depends on solar activity. I've seen some where they were barely visible, and others where they were fairly intense. How far down south, or north they go also varies on solar activity.
Cool, nice to see you finally play this game Fooster. I would really love to see you play Grounded together with Fisk sometime!
Grounded wasn’t really my thing dude I couldn’t put my finger on why either.
@@thefoosterchannel that's fair, thanks for your response! Always enjoy your videos.
That with the camel is true Fooster! Find one and he will be your best friend. You will be golden ;)
Btw, you should try the game Northern Lights. It's like this game but then in the cold.
I have spent 5 months in Greenland during this winter. I have seen alot of the Aurora Borealis, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. It was amazing and beautiful like nothing else.
Fooster the guys shorts won’t be the same after all that coconut juice
Definitely cold climate survival for me, great video can't wait to see the next part!
Never mind the Aurora. You didn't notice that there were 2 moons in the night sky. I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
I'm so happy you're playing this!
omg such a cool game I cant wait to see more! that pushed me over the edge of the bell, I now know when you post!!!
Man i just love you're content and the style of games that you play. Keep it up 👌🏽
Ah what a gem of a game. Nice find senor fooster. I am excited. Hopefully this becomes a series. I will not search more about this game. Rather wait for your videos. As of what type of weather one prefer, hot or cold. Both extremes are bad. But in general people belonging to tropical and sub tropical weather will prefer hot weather and vice versa. Plus each type of weather comes with its unique challenges. For example : hot tropical weather brings a lots of diseases and pests, insects too.
Please keep playing this game , i want to know and watch more of this game !!thanks for your time etcellent playthrough!👍🏻
I've never seen a dessert survival game, I am so interested in this! Hope this series continues
The intro description was based on a real life event. The only way the guy survived the cold nights was to dig a hole in the sand, set a fire in it and sleep on top of the sand
Yeah wasnt the guy italian or something?
I love yucca every part of it is useful. From the fibers being some of the best natural rope. To its fruit and stem full of nutrients. Even roots can be turned to soap.
Love it. You have to be careful in the desert. See you in the next one.
This star sand looks like a great game please continue I’m interested to see where this story goes.
Ya did great!
Cant get enough of your videos.
This game looks perfect for a new series. Can't wait to see what unfolds.
13:38 😂😂 "Ohh little frog..ooohh don't get distracted".. good to see you showed self control 😂😂.. It would be interesting to see how You, Fisk, and Taco find a way to survive a desert.. 😂😂😂 17:28.. nevermind 😂😂
17:28.. nevermind 😂😂
Sunstroke and hallucinations, thank you for giving me an idea for my psychology paper Fooster!
Spends so long walking because he thinks it'll heat him up that he dies of thirst. What a champion.
oh please let this be a long series it's only the first part and I'm already absolutely loving it keep up the good work fooster 👍👍
Finally you’re playing:) good luck 🤞 try to make some weapons, you’re going to need . ( a lot ) and desert balm is helping you to travel in the sun .and try to mark the map , you’re going to be lost , and watch out for sandstorms ,and you can run doesn’t make a difference when you run or walk
i ve played this game till its lounch. (i was one who was testing to give game devs feedback) since i love desert and lonelines, i loved this game.
22:22 when he casually looks up in the night sky and there are TWO moons... I got genuinely scared, did not realise this was not on Earth...
Cool another survival game, I love it when you do these kind of videos. It entertains me alot and really looking forward to the next episodes. Keep it up!
Cant wait for the next episode
When fooster holds a bow, you know it's going to be bad ass
Finally a survival game that forces Fooster to focus on survival instead of focusing on the scenery while he slowly dies 🤔😆
FOOSTER imagine if you find and repair a giant UFO
i think we will never find a channel this good anywhere else dude
Ah been waiting for you to play this!
Dude looks up at the Moon and doesn't realize there are two 😂
Very cool game, nice 2 c u playing it.
I live in Alaska and The Aroura Borealis can be Everything you ever thought it could be. That said, it can also not live up to what you expected if you see it at the wrong time of year. for instance it tends to be a lot more vivid in the winter time and cover a lot more of the sky. Small one are usually 1 line of a wavy green tones but sometimes they will cover the whole sky and you can see reds and oranges and it and be Spectacular, Breathtaking. The game shows .a pretty good rendition of a borealis but being that small like I said it would most likely be green tones
This definitely has a stranded deep vibe about it. Keep em coming Fooster 🙃
Fooster gives the best performance everytime! Keep it up!
I truly love it when you post constantly ❤️🔥
excited for the adventure duuude! ive never heard of this game and love the pyramids! good luck
This looks really cool, I hope to see a lot more of this.
Noice
Love your thumbnails, Fooster, who's drawing them? Really cool video, as always!
Cold ! No doubt! While in the army I lived in both extremes and after a while your body dies adjust a bit to either one
Nice survival game. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
The beginning of this reminded me of the guy who got lost in a desert marathon in the 90s and survived for 10 days in an old ruin drinking bats blood and his own pee 😅
i really like the feel of this. kind of an early Stranded Deep kinda vibe.
If you are stranded in a desert there are a few things that help you survive.
1. Never orient yourself with landmarks. They can quickly change. Use the stars! Though we are not able to accurately move we at least can move in a somewhat straight line. And yes the firmament changes but we can not expect to survive long enough for that to mater.
2. Travel at night. The desert holds heat very bad. It can and will go to freezing at night. Use it to move or freeze to death.
3. Sand is a great isolator. Dig down a few cm and you will find the sand to be a nice temperatur. Dig yourself in during the day to keep cool. Or during the night when moving is not enough to keep warm
4. Cactus have a lot of water in them. Some might be poisonous will make you feel shit or even have a psychedelic efect but taking your chance with a cactus is safer than to hope for a oasis.
5. Keep a clear head. Mirages are dangerous but normally easy to differentiate with a clear head. They are very fliry looking and sometimes float. Further they are in places that make no sense. Also its a misconception to think that if you see a mirage the actual thing needs to be close........no it can be very very far away.
