Howdy hunters,
I am back in Stockholm to meet what apparently has been the worst snowstorm in over 100 years, with theHunter team fighting it through the snow to the office to create the most (amazing) realistic game ever created. It’s been a fun week.
Mid-November Madness
The holiday season is (almost) upon us, and we will be kicking off next week with our Mid-November Madness event. It will be truly mad and not for the faint-hearted, so you might want to clear your diaries next weekend, just in case 😉 You can expect to hear more on this next week.
Wolf Gameplay
There have been a lot of questions about wolves so far, so I wanted to shed some light in this area. For one, whether they will come to any reserve other than Timbergold Trails. The answer is not in the beginning, but we are not excluding this as a possibility for reserves where it would make sense.
There are a lot of players contemplating whether wolves will be dangerous animals capable of attacking hunters. The answer is no.
As you know, wolves are highly social animals and this is the key to their success in the wild. This will be reflected in theHunter by the new group behaviour and AI, for example as our wolves will feature pack behaviour with different levels of hierarchy within their groups. Also, our wolf packs will communicate with each other via howling which will also work as a special call.
There will be more news to come on their game design which we will slowly share with you. As you can hopefully understand, it’s a totally new feature with tons of code to be written, and our programmers are really hard at work making this happen. We are super hyped about this but we are very much aware that features like this take a lot of fine tuning to be made perfect. And we want this to be perfect, so we are counting on your patience 🙂
.22 “Plinkington” wood
Yesterday we released our favourite small game rifle, .22 Plinkington, in a beautiful wood variation that was asked for from the beginning. We’ve also bundled it together with some great duck equipment and put it in the store at a very attractive discount – check it out.
Patching issues
Finally, we are aware of the patching issues with the web launcher which some of you are experiencing and we can assure you that we are treating this as a high priority and will do our utmost to get it fixed ASAP. We cannot make any promises on timescales, as we haven’t been able to pinpoint the source of the problem yet, but we will get there.
Happy hunting!
