Habitat Surveys

These are surveys conducted with the Habitat alpha testers, which were taken from Chip Morningstars Habitat Archives.

I have copied the text as it was and tried to preserve the formatting as best as possible.

If you would like to view these in their original PDF form, you can visit the habitatdocs repository on GitHub (It contains development documents from Habitat converted to modern formats).
