theHunter Classic News

Howdy Hunters!
Today, we are announcing something that was long overdue and will spend a few moments to talk about it.
At the end of 2019, Expansive Worlds and Ringtail Studios, a long-term business partner of Avalanche Studios Group, began discussing and working together with the intention of continuing the development and support of theHunter Classic. Almost a year later, we can say that this collaboration has grown and exceeded our expectations.

Frankly, it's a big part of the reason why we have been able to continue to improve and add new things to theHunter Classic. We hope you agree!

As you might expect, this is only the beginning of our collaboration. The list of improvements and additions planned for theHunter Classic is still very long, and the development team is committed to working closely with you, our very dedicated game community, to shape the future of your favorite game.

To celebrate the collaboration between Expansive Worlds and Ringtail Studios, we are giving away two new in-game clothing items: a t-shirt and a cap, sporting the logos of both companies - a special design that we dubbed ‘hunting together’. You can find them both in the game’s store for free.

Howdy hunters!
Today we are proud to deliver a cool new feature to you: animal trophy shot poses!
No need to spend precious hunting time trying to get that perfect pose for your trophy shot anymore!
Initially, animal trophy shot poses are available for 6 animals:

✅ Turkey
✅ Feral Hog
✅ Moose
✅ Red Deer
✅ Roosevelt Elk
✅ Whitetail Deer

Based on community feedback we will then evaluate whether to implement trophy shot poses for other animals.

You can see a preview of the poses available in the Store:

[h2]👉 Bonus "quality-of-life" addition[/h2]

Animals posed in ragdoll mode in your trophy shot now do not reset when switching between Camera and Edit mode.
To reset the ragdoll you need to press the Backspace button. Hopefully, this will help to make the trophy shot process a little easier.

Last but not least here's a great video by Content Creator HooCairs showcasing the new animal poses and explaining how to use the new trophy shot controls. Take a look!

We hope you enjoy the new additions and are looking forward to seeing what cool trophy shots you will be able to create with the new poses!

Today is a special day for our Producer, Dmitri (codename: Deeem0n) as he is becoming one year wiser. To celebrate his birthday he decided to put together a new competition for you with VERY interesting prizes.

Howdy hunters!

Deeem0n here, theHunter Classic's Producer.

As I turn 40 today I prepared a little challenge for you with some juicy rewards to celebrate my birthday.

The combined score of your top scoring Black Bear and Grey Wolf taken at 100% Harvest Value is your competition entry.

Accidentally the maximum combined score of these two species is slightly over ... 40!

Let's talk about presents...err... I mean prizes... on top of the usual em$ prizes, the top three winners will get a 6 months, a 3 months and a 1 month Unlimited Ammo Subscription respectively!
