Hello Hunters,
This week we are starting duck madness, so get your dogs ready and make sure you have all the necessary equipment ready!
A first shoutout goes to the winners of the ‘design a mission’ competition from earlier this year, Tanngnjostr for the Duck missions and mdfortney for the Duck competitions. Well done! The first of the brand new pack of Duck competitions, designed by mdfortney and waiora (we had to replace one of the competitions in the winner pack with the runner-up by waiora due to game design reasons) will go live today. Together with that we will have some fantastic equipment bundles in our store to help you gear up for all the Rougarou Bayou frenzy.
We had to change the winning design of duck competitions quite a bit to make it work for our competition editor, but what we’ve got in the end is something quite different from the rest of our regular competitions, pretty challenging but hopefully nonetheless enjoyable!
The duck missions by Tanngnjostr are currently being tested and we look forward to releasing them for you soon™. All four duck species will be on free species rotation until the next Thursday.
‘Ridealong’ in Rock Paper Shotgun
Speaking about duck hunting; Some of you may have already seen it back in December but just in case you missed it here is an entertaining article from Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Our well known community member Fletchette aka Excalibure73 aka John took Brendan from the magazine for a ridealong into the swamps of Rougarou Bayou to hunt some ducks, taught him some ropes of theHunter and the result is a truly enjoyable read.
Trailer Competition
Last week we launched our Trailer Competition which will run until January 18th. You can find out more about the details and great prizes in this thread in the official forum. The prizes this time are really neat – well worth a try!
Community Spotlight
InstinciveArcher aka Trenton is one of our well-known community members and he’s also an avid bow builder and archer in real life. I interviewed him this week and we spoke about his passion for the sport, the craft and hunting in general. In part 2 of the Community Spotlight Trenton provided us with a full tutorial on Bow building. Make sure to check it out!
