Hello Hunters!

This week we’re introducing our new team member and presenting some results of the latest player survey.

Meet Dante

Player survey – Results

We’ve had a record of almost 3,000 people filling in our player survey, thank you for your invaluable input everyone! Although we can’t publish all the results, we’d like to share with you some numbers that we’ve found interesting. About the unpublished results, you can be absolutely sure, that every single answer will be carefully evaluated and taken into consideration when planning the future of theHunter.

So, according to 3,000 players who have completed the survey:

• Most of you play theHunter to enjoy the game experience. The second most popular answer was working on hunter score and skills, closely followed by having fun with friends.

• As for the issue of bugs in theHunter: 37.45% of players experience them occasionally or not more often than in any other game, 30% – seldom, 16.65% – quite often, 8.66% – almost every session and 7.11% – never.

You’ve evaluated our efficiency at dealing with bugs with 6.92 as the average score, on a scale from 1 to 10:

• 97.52% of our players would recommend theHunter to a friend, this figure has made us very happy …

… as well as another one: 95.32% players who have made a purchase in the game would consider buying something again:

• You are mostly satisfied with our communication, the average score being 3.68 on the scale from 1 to 5:

• Almost 80% of our players don’t play any other hunting games:

• Curiously, the hunter/non-hunter in real life ratio of our players is very close to 50/50:

• Our players who are hunters in real life have evaluated the level of realism of theHunter as high as 6.64 on average on a scale from 1 to 10:

• And finally, here is the word cloud with the most important words used by respondents when answering what are three best things in theHunter (the bigger the font of the word or phrase is, the more often it has been mentioned):

As promised, we’ve randomly chosen three players who have filled in the survey and added them 1000 em$ each: the lucky winners are pedroserra, Dron26 and Papajetz, congratulations!

That’s all for today, happy hunting!

Hello Hunters,

This week we have quite an exciting piece of news for you, something the community have been waiting for a long time. But first thing’s first…

Server news

As you know, on Monday the site was closed for a couple of hours because we were deploying the new code, as a preparation for our move-to-the-cloud project. We’ve fixed all major bugs caused by the new code, to a large extent thanks to many detailed and straight to the point reports you’ve provided. There are still some minor issues left, if you notice any, please make sure to let us know in this forum thread. We’d appreciate specific and meticulous reports, they are of huge help for us when debugging. Unfortunately, comments like “Nothing is working, fix it now!” neither help us nor speed up the process.

Because of Monday’s downtime and game-breaking bugs, we added one additional day to all active memberships, so that our technical hiccups don’t affect you. As a little “thank you” for your patience and support in these quite turbulent days, our new flat cap that was planned for St. Patrick’s Day, will be available in the store for free until the end of the week.

We will continue preparing for the big move and, once ready, we’ll announce it in advance.

New species in town!

It’s been a while since we introduced Mallard Ducks and we know that you all are very eager to get a new species in theHunter. So, today we’re thrilled to shed some light on what the team has been working on for the last couple of months – another member of the waterfowl family and a popular resident of the community Thoughts & Suggestions forum, the noble and graceful Canada Goose. The habitat of the new birds will be Hirschfelden and they will feature a similar to Mallards gameplay, although with some unique peculiarities. Canada Geese will become available to hunt once we are completely done with the server transition (will be announced separately), until then here are a couple of pictures to give you a sneak peek and something to look forward to.

Player survey reminder

In less than one week we’ve received almost 2000 replies to our survey, wow and thank you everyone who took time to share your thoughts with us! It is still a drop in the ocean though and we would love to collect more insights, to be able to draw as complete picture as possible of what you think of theHunter and in which direction you want us to develop. If you haven’t filled our survey yet, please consider doing it, there are only a couple of days left, as the survey closes on March 23rd midnight CET. This is your chance to influence the future of theHunter and win a sweet amount of em$!

Complete the survey

Happy hunting!
