Status Update

Hey all you happy campers,

In this status update we’re closing the Valentine’s event and giving you a sneak peek on the new species. Let’s go.

We really enjoyed following your heart$ fights in the Valentine’s event last week and it was a great success, especially the new “Share the love” feature. With people generously offering their heart$ to “those in need”, it’s become an amazing celebration of community spirit and one more time revealed what an awesome community we have at theHunter. It was very touching to watch the whole community put their hearts (both game points and real ones) together to raise the player Rcnitrodad to the top of the leaderboard. For those of you who don’t know this story, Rcnitrodad is a single dad taking care of his son James, who is 14 and who is fighting his second cancer battle. theHunter is one of the few things that can put a smile on the boy’s face these days and his dad plays it for him while James is watching and giving directions. We’re sending our best wishes to Rcnitrodad and his son. We hope you’ll get better soon James and can start bagging those trophy bucks by yourself! The thoughts of the whole theHunter community are with you, as the Valentine’s Event has shown so beautifully.

Here’s the Valentine’s event leaderboard for top 10 places, congratulations to all the winners:

Rcnitrodad – 17180 heart$
Pittie – 14485 heart$
M4G1E – 11675 heart$
windy2 – 9695 heart$
domdom92 – 8225 heart$
Manfred3175 – 8140 heart$
Musodacan – 5930 heart$
HooCairs – 5700 heart$
Taugor – 4840 heart$

Apart from the top 10 winners, another 509 hunters received the plaster trophy and we also established a special prize for most generous hunters who have shared their heart$ with the largest amount of people. These three players received this unique “Most loving hunter” trophy:

Once again, thanks for the great community event everyone. Let’s do more of this.

And now to the new reserve news. We are still going through your suggestions trying to pick a suitable name for it (that’s a tough one), so we’ll let you know what we decide later on. There have been lots and lots of speculations, suggestions and general ramblings about the species present in the new reserve, so here you go: apart from your old acquaintances Feral Hog, Red Fox and European Rabbit we could not not put this cool guy in the Australian reserve –

the Red Kangaroo!

Here is a small sneak peek of the kangaroo’s model and animations from Simone and José, enjoy! The video and screenshot below are still work in progress and the things will be changed and tweaked.

Red kangaroos in theHunter, as in real life, will move extremely fast, so taking a shot will be extra challenging.

Happy hunting!
