    How about designing it in the style of Evo Search for Eden where you progress through the major eras/periods/epochs (whatever you find easier). As time goes by your evolution does as well. What your character develops is based on or how you condition yourself, and the obligatory stat system. Then throw in the generic survival aspects.

    Implement as many random AI encounters as possible. I love unscripted moments in games :)

    Just don't make it a Minecraft or Terraria clone with a different camera. Add your own unique game play elements.

    Teleglitch is more of a roguelike/dungeon crawler, not survival.

    Also I want to follow the development of this game, if you could give a website link or something.
