We have been hard at work for the next major update but it’s taking a bit longer than expected. So today we bring you a smaller update with a new and reworked tutorial! We built it from the ground up and instead of being a separate thing, we integrated it straight to the game. Now every hunter has to get a hunting license and do a couple tasks to get a good start to the game. The update also includes several fixes, improvements and changes.

• Added a new and more clear tutorial to the game that is integrated to the gameplay
  
• All players must acquire a hunting license by playing through the tutorial
  
• Added basic version of task system for future use*
  
• Removed the old separate tutorial
  

• Added background mountains to the main menu
  
• Large rocks won’t block animals’ navigation**
  
• Added an additional layer of grass that spawns near the player
  

• Organs of deer species moved slightly backwards
  
• Heart of deer species moved more backwards
  
• Curved Wild Boar’s spine down near head to be more realistic
  

• Replaced rain audios with new ones
  
• Deer target texture slightly changed
  
• Organs of deer target moved slightly backwards
  
• Curved Wild Boars spine near head down to be more realistic
  
• Changed the respawn outpost where the player appears after dying in Bulgaria reserve
  
• Decreased the branches’ cracking probability
  

• Possible fix for a delayed audio synchronization bug
  
• Fixed an issue where animals might slide for a while after the feed time ends
  
• Fixed several animation bugs during animals feed time
  
• Fixed an issue where animals constantly stops when running in forest
  
• Fixed an issue where pheasants flew into the sky and never came back
  
• Fixed an issue where some animals have two “left” shoulder blades
  
• Fixed an issue where deer does didn’t recognize flesh hits
  
• Fixed an issue where the icons on map item were displayed on top of the player icon
  
• Fixed an issue where scopes were misaligned on .303 rifle
  
• Fixed an issue where ladder teleport sometimes broke the teleport function
  

* The new tutorial uses a basic task system where the player gets tasks to complete. This system can later be used for missions and other tasks if possible.
**Large rocks caused a lot of navigation issues and animals got easily stuck on them. They also caused lag spikes when moving through the forest so we disabled this function for the time being. The rocks still remain in the map and players can interact with them but animals will go through them.

Thank you all for playing and happy hunting!
