We have a new update to kick this year off! And this is an exciting one. A brand new species, red fox, has been introduced to the game. It can be found across the whole reserve and comes with six different fur variations including several rares!

Virtual Hunter's Anniversary And Development Update

Greetings Hunters!


Exactly one year ago today, we released Virtual Hunter for early access. It was exciting to finally put out our game that we had been working on for so long. We also knew that this was just the beginning and our real work was just starting. Through the year we have added several new species, tons of features, fixed issues reported by players and improved the graphics and performance. Our biggest update has been animal taxidermy and trophy mounts, which was well received and gave players freedom to show off their most treasured trophies in the lodge. It’s been an amazing journey so far and we want to take this time to thank everyone who has played. We have read every comment, appreciated all feedback and enjoyed the discussions in our Discord community. Our goal is to create the best VR hunting experience and chose early access so we can do so with the players. The game would not be what it is today without all of you. Cheers to all of you virtual hunters!

We'd like to also give you an update on what is going on with Virtual Hunter’s development since our last update. We started a big process of moving the game from SteamVR to OpenXR and updating our engine and tools to newer versions. This way we future proof the game for other platforms, improve useability and performance for headsets on Steam that doesn’t use SteamVR and simplify the process on our end to work on different versions of the game. This is a massive task and requires us to completely rewrite big parts of the game regarding interactions and rendering. Good news is that we are making good progress but it will take us sometime to get it fully done and ready for you guys. This is necessary for us to do because it gives us more flexibility, more tools and features to work on the upcoming content faster!

Even though we are mainly working on this big change, we have a content update planned in between. You can expect teasers of it when we are getting closer to it as always! I’m sure you'll like it :)
