Moon Hunters News

Our translators are working hard to get the Eternal Echoes expansion translated and we hope to have the details sorted by the end of the week to patch the Portguese, Spanish, German, Russian, Italian, and French translations. The eagle-eyed among you might notice some of these are already in the live build, but fixes are incoming even for those that seem finished.

Thanks to everyone who's bought the game thus far -- tell your friends to pick it up before the winter sale's over!

Happy holidays and a brave new year to all,
Tanya & the Kitfox team

Thanks to the Canadian Videogame Awards for hosting an excellent party last night. We were honored to vie for awards alongside truly excellent titles like Jotun, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Stories, Death Road to Canada, and Severed. You can see a nice gif of some team members living it up over on Twitter.

Ultimately we ceded Best Narrative to Deus Ex and Best PC Game to Stories, but it was a battle well-fought.

In case you didn't see our scheduled group event: we're hosting a celebratory livestream for the Eternal Echoes expansion launch on Monday the 21st from 2pm to 4pm, so make sure to catch us on twitch! Bring your questions, enthusiasms, and good cheer!

Want to try out the new (free!) Moon Hunters expansion coming out in a couple of weeks?

You can! It's slightly dangerous, but for the intrepid among you... take a deep breath...

Ready? If you own Moon Hunters, and are eager to see the content no matter the costs, follow these steps:

1. Be warned it has some bugs (especially online)! It's a beta!
   
2. Right-click the entry for Moon Hunters in your Steam Library. Choose Properties.
   
3. Click on the Betas tab. Enter access code "privateBetaOn". Click Check Code. Then "privatebeta" branch should appear. Choose it!
   
4. You should now be able to close the Properties window and see the game is updating, and says "Moon Hunters [privatebeta]" in the list.
   
5. When you see an error or glitch in the game, please press B on your keyboard and make sure to change the description of the bug to be descriptive. More info is better! It will automatically send your report to us and we'll fix it asap.
   
6. If you have long-form feedback to give, email [email protected] and the team will improve the game with it. :)
   

We don't recommend switching back and forth between Eternal Echoes and 'vanilla' Moon Hunters, but you technically can do it. When you run the beta for the first time, it will create a backup folder with your current savefiles and progress files. This folder will also be cloud-saved automatically. The folder is called backup_ and is located in your cloud-save folder (in Windows usually it's: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\MoonHunters\SaveData). Keep this backup folder safe.

To restore the state of the game to when the backup was done, follow these steps:

• Start Moon Hunters
  
• Alt Tab out of the game
  
• Replace the contents of the main save folder by the contents of the backup folder
  
• Alt Tab back to Moon Hunter and close the game.
  

After doing this your savefiles are restored to a pre-expansion state.

Thanks in advance, you brave beta hunters!
Tanya & the Kitfox team
