The sample entries show the first 3 levels of the 'scientific method flow chart' and a proposition for the fourth level. Is that generally the way to make the journal entries or am I meant to do all 6 levels (from observation down to communicate results), if so would it be possible to include a sample entry that demonstrates all 6 levels as an example?

Thanks for the note!

The samples were intended as sort of "average" as in theory some of the levels should fall off over time because of the (Prey) prompts.

I'll think on a Sample with more of the steps present for the next round of release!

While I'm ok with instructions it's usually when I see how something is done (e.g an example) that it clicks, right now I'm not sure how the other levels would look in the context of the game, so its on 'pause' after my first entry until I do.

Also thanks for getting back, I'm really intrigued by your game

Hello, sorry it took a few days to turn this around but I've tried to improve the examples in today's updated release. Link to the devlog is here but you can also just re-download the game normally! https://donniedynamo.itch.io/the-unnaturalist-forest/devlog/295048/version-5-rel...

The v5 is today's update and contains a slightly better example section. If you have any remaining confusion just mention it here and I"ll take the notes for next time. Cheers

Thank you, I hadn't realised the 1st example had been the full flow chart, its much clearer with the bracketed labels and spaces, I'll print it out and resume the journal and see how it goes. The new artwork is great too at inspiring ideas.
