Another weeks has passed and it is status update time. We were hoping for spring here in Stockholm, but instead the cold came back. Whoever is keeping the sun away from us, please don’t! We need spring now.

We’ve been kept busy fixing the last bugs on Hemmeldal and fine tuning the Brown Bear. It’s all coming along just fine and it’s looking legendary. If nothing unforeseen pops up we’re looking at a release next Wednesday, but bear in mind that in the wonderful world of game making anything might happen. So keep your fingers crossed. We’ve seen a lot of questions about species on Hemmeldal, and the initial species are the following: Brown Bear, Moose and Roe Deer.

It might seem a bit empty, but our plan is to add more species over time. It won’t happen next week, but eventually these three will be accompanied by more species.

We’d like to remind you of our Facebook page, make sure you like us there since we have special Facebook deals and competitions every now and then.

Expansive Worlds expanded this week. A new backend developer, Emil, started this Monday. It’s fantastic to have him on board. He’ll be working closely with Herman and Robert, mainly focusing on, improving your web experience. Emil will introduce himself properly later on.
We mentioned that Mathias joined us a couple of weeks ago, we feel that it’s time for him to introduce himself.

Greetings, hunter community!

My name is Mathias and I am the latest addition to the theHunter developer family here at HQ in Stockholm. I am currently on my way of becoming a full-fledged M.Sc. in media technology and computer science. As a part of my final examination at the University Of Linköping here in Sweden, I am doing my thesis work in collaboration with Expansive Worlds.

I won’t give away too much information on my mighty mission, but it just might (or might not) have something to do with investigating how to expand game concept’s by alternative platform usage (oops!). Well, that’s all you will get for now.

Please also note that as this is a part of my education, I am not a full-time working employee of Expansive Worlds. Basically, I work for em$’s, coffee and to get an excellent experience before I will graduate (also, the coffee is pretty damn good). I hope that you will one day will get to enjoy the result of my thesis work, though.

I will be here for approximately 15 more weeks, so we have got plenty of time to get to know each other. Want to fire some questions at me? Please refer to the comment section of this status update. Who knows, I might even answer a few of them…

I would like to thank the guys at Expansive Worlds for giving me this opportunity and for the hearty welcome.
