Huntsman News

[p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]“Isn’t is scary, working on a game like Huntsman?” We get this one a lot. Yes, the game was inspired by a personal phobia. Yes, the spiders are scary and sometimes we get an unexpected jump when they grab us in-game. But are we immune to it, generally? Sort of. And then we put the tarantula in. That’s when everything changed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The tarantula is the biggest, fastest and most aggressive of the four spider types. While orb weaver and trapdoor spiders will instantly kill you if you stray too close, they can be avoided. Huntsman can be distracted or snuck past. But the tarantula is in a whole different class. It is also the most requested spider type from the community and we’ve wanted to talk about this for a very long time, so keeping it locked tight has been a challenge! 
[/p][p](Also, getting this damn spider to behave for trailer and screenshot capture has been like trying to wrangle…well, wrangle an enormous tarantula. It has chased down and killed our video team more than every other spider put together!)
[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll encounter your first (note the operative word there) tarantula in the office area, a collection of desks and meeting rooms overlooking the terrarium, that is now eerily silent and covered in webbing. But beware. The tarantula uses this to both detect and immobilise prey, so the second you touch it, the hunt begins. To all the demo players who outran the huntsman - this thing is faster than you are. It WILL catch you. It WILL kill you. Be quiet, be cautious, be safe. Episode Four of Creature Features has the answers, so tune in and get clued up.

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]8 legs. 6 days. 3 spiders. 1 surprise.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s as close to a mathematical equation as we can distill Huntsman down to. We’ve finally revealed a new arachnid today, the Trapdoor spider, and that means we have one left to reveal. A BIG one. A big…hairy…fast one. Even we’re scared of that one. Keep your eyes peeled for Monday![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Creature Feature Episode 3 revealed the trapdoor spider, our new subterranean menace, as well as several new locations within Atherton HQ. The trapdoor spider is lighting fast and its burrows aren’t easy to detect, and you’ll first encounter them in the living quarters, an area dedicated to staff downtime. But don’t think you can relax as the trapdoor isn’t the only spider enjoying the amenities. Their reach might extend to a small area, much like the orb weaver, but carelessness will result in death, especially if something else was chasing you at the same time…[/p][p][/p][p]We also revealed the terrarium, undoubtedly our most unsettling and nerveracking location. It’s a natural hunting ground for numerous spider types, an area created by Atherton’s scientists specifically for observing their eight legged nightmares. It’s dark, overgrown, filled with burrows and webbing, and not somewhere you can avoid. Stay vigilant and maybe you’ll stay alive.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Finally, we revealed some amazing new key art, made by the brilliant Tuomas Gustafsson. An enormous thanks to him for bringing this idea to life. Go check out his work! [/p][p]https://www.tuomasgustafsson.com/[/p][p][/p][p]Huntsman launches Nov 27th.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Welcome everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you to all for the 98% view rate on our first instructional video, examining the huntsman spider. The remaining 2% of outstanding viewers, your shift managers have been notified and your duties will be temporarily suspended while you are placed on specimen feeding. Atherton thanks you for your understanding.[/p][p][/p][p]Our second episode introduces the orb weaver, which our scientists have affectionately termed “death from above”. Almost exclusively found on ceilings and other points of elevation such as staircases, the orb weavers seem to favour dark and humid places. Their bright colouring is intended to draw in prey, and they have displayed an uncanny ability to position themselves near points of common ingress, almost resulting in several incidents for our specimen feeding teams.[/p][p][/p][p]If ever you encounter an orb weaver, watch them closely. Their descents are silent but slow, meaning in an emergency you could run past their reach if quick enough. However, should an orb weaver be directly in your path, we have seen limited success by throwing objects at them, causing them to temporarily retreat. Note that any such instances of harming the subjects will result in disciplinary action.[/p][p][/p][p]Should you see a subject out of containment, sound the alarm to enable building lockdown and prevent escape.

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]Huntsman launches on PC on Nov 27th! Thank you to everyone for your support. Spread the word![/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]To all Atherton employees,[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve noticed a level of complacency among staff members recently. Following two separate incidents with research subjects, management has created and shared a series of mandatory instructional videos about spider behaviors and company procedures. Everyone will be required to watch the four videos, starting with the huntsman. [/p][p][/p][p]And to the staff members injured in those incidents, you have been granted a 72 hour deadline extension to view these new materials.[/p][p][/p][p]Today’s episode introduces the huntsman, our most agile and curious type. Our simulations suggest that in the event of a breakout, the huntsman spiders would roam all accessible areas in search of prey, rather than establishing any sort of territory. Distractions and stealth are key. Predominantly solo hunters, we do not expect them to operate in packs, nor alongside other spider types.[/p][p][/p][p]Should you see a subject out of containment, sound the alarm to enable building lockdown and prevent escape.[/p][p][/p][p]Forget. Everything. And. Run. FEAR the huntsman! Launching on Nov 27th![/p][p]

[p]To our Atherton family,
[/p][p]We recently passed another milestone for Huntsman - 25,000 wishlists! We’re well and truly into November, our launch month, and things couldn’t be more exciting. Everything is being webbed together, bugs crunched and we’re casting all eight eyes over the game ahead of the big day. So what’s next?[/p][p]
We have a few big announcements on the horizon, including our launch date, new spider types, locations and more, which are coming in a series of excellent trailers we call Creature Features. The demo is still live for everyone to play with some small updates planned, based on your feedback. But most importantly, thank you to everyone who continues to support the journey.
[/p][p]Oh, and here's a sneak peek of something. Please consider this part of your annual bonus. [/p][p][/p][p]FEAR the Huntsman. Forget. Everything. And. Run!
