Howdy hunters
Time for another status update from us and boy, have we got some sweet news for you today!
Dall Sheep
For one, we released a new species this week – the Dall Sheep! It’s our 39th species, can you believe that? The release went well and many of you reported the smoothest patching in a long run. That’s really heartwarming for us to hear, as we know this has lately been a pain for our players who use the launcher. Although it’s a good progress, we don’t stop and continue investigating the murky waters of our launcher patching code and we hope to fix it once and for good, for all of you.
Coming back to our sheep, from the feedback we’ve gathered so far you have been enjoying our new snowy residents. I for one think they have brought lots of fun to the around-mountainous areas of Whiterime Ridge, with their lovely furs and rather entertaining calls. If you haven’t seen one yet, check out this video HooCairs made on our beta server, showing off their dazzling beauty:
With the amazing animal variety we have in theHunter now, we would like to know where your preferences lie – tell us what your all-time favourite animal is and why? Share it away in this forum thread – looking forward to your replies!
Doc’s Desk Mystery
If you’ve been following our communication closely, you must remember that we’ve mentioned some big feature our team have been working on for months now. I know you are all super curious and we can’t wait to tell you more. But our beloved Doc, being a grumpy fellow he is, is not very keen on revealing anything to anyone before “the time is right”. To all our pleas he would only go like: “Make them wait”, or, ”Good things come to those who wait, Doc says”. And a whole lot of other clichés only he himself finds amusing. But after quite a bit persuading on our part, we came up with a compromise – today we’re launching a campaign, in which you, our community, will influence how fast the mysterious new feature gets unveiled and, at the same time, make our Doc happier. You’ll have to do what you are best at – hunting and harvesting animals in EHR (no unpermitted hits though, otherwise this whole thing might go down in flames). If we do well, Doc will remove clutter from his incredibly messy desk, slowly revealing something hinting to the upcoming feature underneath. You can find more details and discuss all this mysterious stuff in this forum thread.
Lock&Learn with Lead programmer Roberto
Our Lock&Learn will happen today, at 16:00 CEST, and in this episode you will get a chance to follow Johanna and Stefan to Whiterime Ridge, joined by our Lead programmer Roberto. We will be running our traditional Friday Dev competition at the same time – don’t miss, we’ll see you there!
See you in the woods and happy hunting!
