Gold Hunter News

News September

You are probably already waiting eagerly for the next update. In the livestreams you could see that we are working on it regularly and you could observe the good progress.

This update will be one of the most important updates of this year. That's why we're taking enough time to make sure that it fixes the problems that bother you the most, so that you can have a good gaming experience in both single player and multiplayer.

As you can imagine, the livestreams somewhat limit the possibilities for short-term communication and coordination within the team. In order to be able to focus on the update as best as possible, we will reduce the livestreams to a minimum for the time being. This doesn't mean that we won't be streaming at all, but we will - as in the past - do a Friday stream at 7 pm european time. However, there will be no development in the stream, but it should be a relaxed stream in which progress can be shown and talked about and your questions answered.

For those who regularly join us in the stream, this may sound negative at first, but the possible intensification of the work on the update, will have a positive effect.

We cannot yet say when the update will be available, as this of course also depends on the intensive internal tests. But we will keep you regularly up to date even without the livestreams. On the one hand via our Discord server, but also via the new Dev-Blogs, which we will publish regularly on Steam and which will also be distributed via the social networks.
