Hello hunters,
There was no usual status update last week, since we communicated all the releases and changes in the game updates, so here comes a double portion of news from us.
What’s cooking?
Half of the EW team is still out of office, but the work on the new species is moving along nicely, albeit slowly. With all the work to be done down the line, we are not ready to tell you the release date yet. I know that most of you are waiting impatiently to learn what it is, but it is still too early for us to reveal. The first drafts of the new animal look stunning, and I can’t wait to share some screenshots with you at a later point.
There is yet another new thing we’ve started working on, which is a far more colossal project than a new species and which is, hopefully, will get you even more excited. Namely, for the last weeks our art team has been busy working on the new reserve, yes! We can’t share yet what kind of terrain it is or when it’ll be released, but the work is pretty much in the inception phase right now. According to our art guys, the new reserve is going to be ”glorious”, and it’s something we all are looking forward to.
Known issues
Because of the holiday season, there has been a backlog of mostly web-related issues, which have been an annoyance for lots of players, including ‘Previous competitions’ not working properly, avatars disappearing etc. You can find the complete list here. Once our backend staff is back to the office this week, they’ll be looking to start working on them. We apologize to those of you who have been affected and had to wait for those problems to be resolved!
Turkey hunting revamp
Today one of our most unpopular, although unjustly, species has received an overhaul, which will hopefully help it to rise to theHunter stardom. To be specific, we’ve released decoys, a new ”locator” caller and introduced some tweaks to the bird’s AI; the details can be found in Björn’s release notes. Go give the new equipment a try and let us know your feedback!
That’s it from us for today, happy hunting!
