I might suggest TUG. It fits just about everything... but it's current state in Beta leaves the AI left to be desired.
1. There's only one AI as of now: Goats.
2. Yes! For now. There are no towns though, but later on there will be fully interactive villages and entire lore-filled dungeons to explore.
3. The tech is also stone-age stuff at the moment.
4. Hunger: Check. Thirst: Check. Stamina: Check.
5. Development is fast! The latest update added tons of new recipes, goats, and farming!
6. It's cheap, and on Steam. It costs only 10 dollars if you want to check it out.
7. They plan on adding LOTS of AI later on. Not to mention blacksmithing, tracking, hunting, mining, exploring, adventuring (Like dungeon hunting stuff...), farming... just about what you would expect Mythruna to have!
8. Oh yes, it is BETA. Surprisingly the Beta isn't that bad though, it's coming along nicely! The next update is supposed to add the first threat to the game: Predator! After that, I'm not sure. Probably add more tools, more farming, more animals, more monsters, SMP.
9. It's currently 66% SP. Creative mode is the ONLY Gamemode that is currently MP... and Survival Games used to be MP, but it's currently down. Survival Mode will be MP in a few months, probably, as they've promised to get that in after they add in some of the more important things every game needs.
But yeah! It's called TUG, or The Untitled Game. It's neat, cheap, and satisfies my needs while I wait for Mythruna! I would say they are both heavy competitors at the moment, as I see a lot in both of them. TUG even has the whole 'toolbar' and 'inventory' thing I remember somewhere on these forums... but it seems to be a little different. Like, your'll have to sift through your bag to get that crushed sandvich at the bottom.
The biggest differences I see between the games is this: Development Pace. Mythruna is going a lot slower than TUG, but I believe in the long run it's going to have a lot more to offer. TUG is moving at lightning speed, and will have a lot of things... but Mythruna will still have those things TUG wont. Like physics! If I'm right, then what Paul has promised with his physics... I WILL be able to make a WORKING TANK! Yes. One with a cannon, and tread-wheel-stuff, and a turning head! I will come rolling in on the public server some day with my tank, and force King Paul to bow to me! Yes. Mythruna will have MANY more awesomeness than TUG.. it's just, TUG currently has more to do. For now.
OK but here's another question will they add AI eventually like I desire? If you don't know that's OK
