[p][/p][h3]Hello Hunters,[/h3][h3]It’s been about two years since PROJECT HUNT first launched, and I finally made a brand-new official trailer.[/h3][h3]When I created the very first trailer, the game only had one map and just 7 animals, so there was no way to show how much the world has grown since then.
Now we have multiple maps, many more animals, and a lot more variety, and I wanted the trailer to actually reflect the game you can play today.[/h3][p][/p][p][/p]

[h3]As we wrap up 2025, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played PROJECT HUNT, left reviews, and sent bug reports and feedback. 🙏
Your support genuinely keeps this game moving forward.[/h3][h3]I’m developing PROJECT HUNT on my own, so updates can be slower than big studio games — but I’m steadily improving the game step by step, and I’m committed to keeping it growing over time. 💪
In 2026, I’ll continue bringing more content and improvements, with new animals, new features, and a better hunting experience.[/h3][h3]Wishing you a healthy, happy, and successful 2026! 🥳
And if you’d like, please share your final trophy shot of the year (or your first one of the new year!) on Steam screenshots or in the Discord — I’d love to see them. 📸🏆[/h3][p][/p][p]- Dev[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]PS. Bug fix[/p]

[h2][/h2][p]Hello hunters, 🙂[/p][p]I’m the developer of PROJECT HUNT. Thank you for playing, leaving feedback, and supporting the game.[/p][p][/p][h2]Who I am[/h2][p]I’ve been making games for about 20 years, primarily with C++ and Unreal Engine.
I previously worked at Ubisoft, and I also worked on DLCs for theHunter: Call of the Wild.[/p][p]PROJECT HUNT has been in development for three years. For most of that time, I built it alongside my full-time job, working nights, weekends, and any spare time I had.
Recently, I made the decision to transition into full-time development on the project. 🙂[/p][p]I’m building PROJECT HUNT as a solo developer - design, code, content, and updates. 😅[/p][p][/p][h2]Why I started PROJECT HUNT[/h2][p]I love hunting games, and I really respect how many of them focus on realism.
With PROJECT HUNT, I wanted to create something different, more focused on gunplay and the joy of shooting. 🎯[/p][p]My goal was to make every hunt feel satisfying, whether you play for 30 minutes or three hours—with clear feedback, strong impact, and those moments where you instantly think, “That was a great shot.” [/p][p]Immersion still matters, but my priority is a moment-to-moment experience that feels fun, responsive, and rewarding. [/p][p][/p][h2]What I’m focusing on next[/h2]

• [p]New content over time (more animals / more regions) 🐾[/p]
• [p]Progression & trophy features 🏆[/p]
• [p]Quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes 🛠️[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Tell me what you want most[/h2][p]If you could pick ONE top priority, what would it be? 🙂
More animals? More weapons/scopes? A new map? More trophy features? Or quality-of-life?[/p][p]Leave your answer in the comments. I read them and use them to plan updates. 💬🙂[/p][p][/p][p]If you’re having fun with the game, please consider leaving a Steam review. It genuinely helps an indie project like this more than you might think. 🙏🙂[/p][p]And if you get a great hunt, please share your trophy shots on the Steam Community or our Discord—it’s always fun to see what everyone is hunting and to share tips with each other. 🏆📸🙂[/p]
