Hi there hunters,
It’s time for our weekly status update!
Doc’s Desk Mystery revealed in the pre-release Livestream
As we are approaching the huge milestone of 1,000,000 community harvests and Doc’s desk keeps shedding its clutter, with the last two items being expected to be removed by the end of this week, we thought it might be time to break out the big guns and show you what we have been working on for the last months! Today we are announcing the pre-release livestream showcasing the upcoming feature. What exactly? You will (probably) learn very soon, just keep hunting ethically and contributing to the Doc’s Desk Mystery reveal.
The pre-release livestream will happen on Tuesday, May 16th, at 19:00 CEST on our official Twitch channel. Our own livestreaming aficionados Johanna and Stefan will be leading it and yours truly will join them to tell you about the development of the upcoming feature and reply to any questions you might have. Be there!
New dimension of varmint hunting
Yesterday we released two new items that have been a very popular community request and, consequently, frequent residents of our roadmap brainstorming sessions. Motion Predator Decoys. With this addition we are also introducing a new level of Fox and Coyote hunting. Sure, the good old Jack Rabbit caller gets the job done, but the new decoys brings out a new level of concealment by providing, in addition to strong attraction, a level of distraction as varmints become too preoccupied by the erratically moving furballs to notice the hunter in concealment. To add to that, Coyotes and Foxes tend to come back to the decoys after some time, so after having smartly arranged your set-up you can enjoy a relaxing cup of java while working on your Fox and Yote Ranks and Achievements. Our client programmers Roberto, Linus and Robin have done a great job on gameplay mechanics for the new decoys, the glorious models brought to you by our art intern Johan and those brilliant animations you can watch forever were done by our one and only animator, Moe. Hope you enjoy this new addition!
As I’m writing this, I got a heads-up from our client programmer Roberto that we released a small patch (2017051201) fixing the bug related to foxes, motion predator decoys and the Jack Rabbit caller that sneaked into the game yesterday.
Sneakathon 2017
Together with the motion predator decoys we launched our annual event to celebrate one of the most vital skills of a hunter – being able to stay unnoticed. Sneakathon 2017! Like last year, we are featuring five of our most skittish species in a set of missions that will give you a coveted entry ticket for the competition to get the fame and glory of the sneakiest of the EHR in pursuit of the turkey on one of our most challenging reserves, Settler Creeks. For the duration of the event, we are running a sale on all Sneaky 3D camo clothes, so it’s a good chance to stock up on gear.
Player survey – last week!
Finally, a reminder to those of you who haven’t filled in our player survey yet – please do, we are very curious to hear what you think about the game and what you want to see next. The survey closes in one week, on May 19th midnight CEST – take it now!
Happy sneaky hunting!
