Prehistoric Hunt News

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

Read through this week's development blog to find out what we've worked on during the past week.



Here is a video showing footage of the unfinished dinosaur collection system we are currently developing:

The system works currently like this: When players finish a hunting contract a helicopter comes to pick up the dinosaur. This functionality is not yet finished and we’ll keep developing it.





Herbivores have been adjusted to be less aggressive towards players by default. We've also improved their pathfinding so dinos are less likely to behave in an illogical manner.



Players can now activate a guide to a contract device location. This will show up in the HUD within the compass showing players the correct direction to the contract device and how far away they currently are from the device in meters. This will make it easier to find your way as you don’t have to constantly open up the separate map view to check if you’re going in the right direction.





We got multiple reports of crashes when players tried to respawn. This problem has now been fixed and the respawn happens a lot quicker than before.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on the game.

Our game is currently having a free demo on Steam. It lasts until 13th of October. Go check it out if you already haven’t!

Thank you for all the feedback you’ve already given us! Based on these we are currently working on improvements: Making the game run better, improving brightness settings, adjusting the pov and many more.

Communication devices that players can use to get hunting contracts have now a lot more content. We’ve added many different contracts from which players can select the one they’d like to do. Within the contracts players also find basic information of the dinosaur they need to hunt. When a contract is activated it will show up in the HUD showing the current status of contract completion.



Once a contract is completed the player is rewarded with credits. These can now be utilized in equipment shop to buy new equipment.





Players can now shop for new equipment. The shop is located within the same communication device players use to get hunting contracts.





Shop currently sells ammunition for all available guns and three guns: Hunting rifle, revolver and 50 cal rifle.



We’ve now introduced a simple ammunition system to the game. This means players no longer have unlimited ammunition. Currently there are two types of ammunition in the game: Rifle ammunition for all rifles and pistol ammunition for all pistols. Players can buy more ammunition from the equipment shop. This is phase one implementation of the ammunition system. Later we will implement separate ammunition types per weapon to make it more realistic.





Dinosaurs now make sounds also from a greater distance. This makes it easier for the player to find dinosaurs. In addition multiple new sounds have been added to different dinosaurs.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on the game.

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

We welcome you to try Prehistoric Hunt demo for free during Steam Game Festival Autumn Edition! The festival starts 7th of October and ends 13th of October.

This year we've also participated in the Summer Edition of Steam Game Festival. The game you can try out now is quite different as we've developed the game a lot from that time. There's a lot more huntable dinosaurs and equipment available to you.

As the game is still undergoing development we'd like to hear your opinion how we are doing so far. Are you seeing things you like in the game? Is there something we could improve? Please let us know! :)



We look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on the game.

Iguanodon is another addition to the game’s calmer herbivore species. Usually they leave hunters alone but like with others, they will come for you if irritated.





The game now includes a communication device hunters can use to get hunting contracts. These devices are found at certain locations.





Two new weapons have been added to the game: Crossbow and tranquilizer gun.



Crossbow is a more silent way to hunt dinosaurs. You’ll use no bullets but bolts to score. It has to be reloaded after every shot but in the right hands this will do what you need it to do.



Tranquilizer gun is used to tranquilize dinosaurs. This can be used when you are doing for example a hunting contract where you need to catch dinosaurs alive instead of just killing them. This too is a silent weapon and you need to reload it after every shot.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on the game.

New weapons and hunting contracts have been added to the game. Read through to find out more about these updates.



Three new weapon types have been added to the game:

• Heavy Sniper Rifle
  
• Anti Personnel Rifle
  
• Revolver
  

Heavy Sniper Rifle is a bolt-action rifle and currently the most damage dealing weapon in the game. It has better scope than the other rifles and uses bigger ammunition. Because of it’s bigger ammunition clip size is smaller: Only 5 rounds fit in a magazine.



Anti Personnel Rifle is a bit lighter than it’s big brother Heavy Sniper Rifle. It too is a bolt-action rifle. It has a bigger magazine than the Heavy Sniper Rifle and is faster to fire. Better to use against smaller dinosaurs.



Revolver is an effective weapon on shorter distances. It’s powerful rounds can deal really good damage when shot at the right targets.



Players can now engage in different kinds of hunting contracts while playing. Contracts can be obtained from special locations in the island. These contracts create a target for hunters and bring some focus for the gameplay as the hunters are not only wandering around aimlessly.

By completing these contracts players will get cash and can use it to buy better equipment etc. Once a player completes a certain amount of contracts for a dinosaur type they unlock access to more challenging dinosaur contracts. Rare contracts can provide special challenges that are harder to complete. One example of this where the dino in the contract is required to be tranquilized and not killed.
