Status Update - 10th August 2011

Post by Stefan Pettersson »

Here is this week's Status Update!

Patch

This Wednesday we released a small patch fixing a couple of minor issues as well as a few enhancements.

We wanted to get this out to get some milage on it, since what is released right now is what also will be on the disc in the retail box (mentioned in earlier status updates). Of course it's just a matter of time until the next update is released that will be downloaded and applied, but it's good to have a solid version on the disc to start with.

Retail box

Talking about retail, here are some images of the box for the Germany speaking market...

The box will also have fold out "flap", containg additional screenshots:

The key thing with selling the game in retail is to attract lots of new users, which in turn will allow us to expand the team to implement more and bigger features (like multiplayer).

Please note that this is the exact same game as available for download on the website, it's simply a membership-in-a-box.

Crossbow

Mentioned way back and delayed and rescheduled due to everything from lawyers to other priorities, the crossbow will soon finally receive the last polish to be released in late September.

We are very happy to have partnered with TenPoint Crossbows and the crossbow to be added to the game is the Carbon Fusion. There will also be a scope to be fitted on the crossbow.

PS. I will be visiting Gamescom in Cologne next week for lots of meeting, if you will be there too feel free to PM me if you want to have a chat about theHunter.

Next week I will be doing the Status Update from Germany.

I hope the box, retail release brings in some additional revenue for the game. Perhaps in conjunction with this the main page could be jazzed up a bit? I like these steps to make the game more and more legit: it should further help anyone with trust issues.

Im looking forward to the Crossbow, it looks excellent.


The last thing I want from the game when it finally ends: An offline, single player version.
