The office is slowly starting to get populated again since summer vacations are coming to an end. Next week we should be back up to full force again. As soon as we’re all gathered again we’ll start planning the bigger features we’ll be working on up until Christmas and forward.

As we wrote in last weeks update there’s been a lot of bug fixing and a bug fixing patch was released yesterday.

 This doesn’t mean we’re done fixing bugs, since we know there are still more bugs to kill.

José is back from paternity leave, so he and Hampus are working together on the first person animations. There’s still a lot of work to be completed, but they’re slowly getting there. So bear with us, they will come.

Andrés is working on a “third person camera”, so you’ll be able to see/look at yourself out in the woods. It’s moving along nicely so we’re hoping that we can release that feature soon.

Happy Hunting!

So it’s that time of the week again, status update time!

David, NAOutdoors, got some extra help yesterday from his new sidekick Harley. Harley is be the best looking dev we’ve seen in a long time. We do not know if he’ll be able to help out with bugfixing yet though.

As mentioned in last weeks update it’s vacation time in Sweden so it’ll be quite empty in the office for a few weeks. We are still working as hard as we can, but with a smaller number of people.

We’ve noticed that only comawalker have managed to beat Daniel, delaWHO, in Lane Bandit so far, Daniel is getting a bit cocky here at the office so please beat him. (comawalker, Daniel sends word that he’s coming after you now)

We know you are eager to hunt those foxes and it is coming. Real soon! We’re just doing the final tweaks and as soon as that is done you’ll be able to hunt them on Hemmeldal and Hirschfelden. The fox will be accompanied by a brand new weapon suitable for fox hunting. A lot of you have asked for this specific rifle so we hope you’ll enjoy it.

Happy hunting!

Status update time. A little late but you didn´t think we forget about it did you?

To begin with we´ll upload a new patch today containing a broadcast type hog feeder. We´ve thought for some time about expanding the range of feeders in the game and the intention is that this one could be used with different types of food to attract different species. First one out will food for feral hogs and wild boars, then we´ll see what we come up with as there may be both technical and design related things that need to be covered.

Another little feature included in the patch is a leader board for the Lane Bandit game that you can play on your Huntermate. This one is just for fun, and it´s a small feature that is long overdue. There was actually supposed to be a leader board from the very beginning of this game in theHunter, but for various reasons it fell out and never happened. However the scores has always been saved to the server, only it has never been properly presented. Until now. Have you ever player Lane Bandit your score could be in there so make sure to check it out!

We´ve also released the “Friend invite” feature on the web. By recruiting your friends you can earn free theHunter membership days so be sure to check it out!

Finally, as vacations are kicking in a some people here at the studio will disappear for a few weeks to come. But don´t worry, the show will go on as usual and we have both new items and activities on the schedule through the entire summer.

Happy hunting until next time!
