Status Update | theHunter

Howdy hunters,

Hunter Score 2.0

Good to see you! It’s another exciting week at theHunter Classic and everyone is working hard.

Luna is finishing off the overhaul of the Hunter Score system, the sneak peek of which I shared with you last week. We’re hoping to be able to deploy it so you can see it firsthand very soon. In the meantime, if you spy some fishy achievements on Steam, don’t fret. They’re currently locked and sitting waiting for their time to be released properly and unlocked by you.

New Species

Ami and Moe have been busy working on our new species. Things are moving along nicely, albeit with some occasional hiccups as we’re trying out some new things here and there, but overall we’re making good progress. We hope to be able to share a first look with you soon, in the meantime, here’s a guessing game for you! Which reserve do you think our new darling will populate? A hint: the reserve in question was added after I joined theHunter team.

Baiting System Review

The client code team has also been keeping themselves busy getting our species to work in the game, working closely with our backend team on how we can make our baiting system more attractive for bears, pigs and, well, our players. All while poking into some new exciting but yet top secret stuff.

Reverse Draw Crossbow & Crossmania

This week we released a Winter Camo version of our popular Reverse Draw Crossbow and launched a Crossmania competition. Tons of EHR species, high harvest value requirements, all those things that you like 😉 Give it a shot. It’s divided into tiers based on Hunter Score, so no excuses for not trying out your skills and luck.

Trophy Shot Competition Winners

After the release of our Trophy Shot 2.0 and premium character poses we ran a Trophy shot competition and received oodles of entries in both premium and standard categories. You are endlessly creative and the quality of the submissions made it super difficult for us to pick the winners. We shortlisted 10 trophy shots in each category and then ran anonymous voting, but even then the battle was really tight. Anyway, the votes are in and we managed to decide on three winners in each of the categories as well as a bunch of runners-up who were extremely close! All runners-up will receive a 500 em$ prize.

Here are the breathtaking winner line-ups. Amazing job everyone, congratulations and thank you, it’s been a pleasure to judge your work!
