Thank you for everyone's valuable feedback! It is much appreciated!!

Firstly...about the darkness of the game. The first map on Night Hunter is based on an actual hunting technique that is used in Africa to hunt predators, such as the Black-backed Jackal.

Night Hunter attempts to provide the experience of travelling to South Africa to hunt jackals in the comfort of your own home. Being a nocturnal animal, most jackals will rest in the shade during the daytime, therefore when you encounter one during dusk or dawn it is considered a rarity. Jackals are typically hunted at night, they are called with a predator caller while the hunter sits in a shooting chair on a well camouflaged vehicle. When the jackal appears, a spotlight will be used to illuminate the aim giving you time to find it in the telescope and take a quick shot. This technique requires patience, but when the predators start approaching, you will have to be ready to reload!!

Also, please note that the game saves your progress automatically.

Now on to the big news, it is update time!! Yeah!! We are very excited to publish our first update after launching Night Hunter on early access. We hope that you will enjoy the new and interesting features.

What is new?

You will be able to buy Night Vision and Thermal binoculars and telescopes that will help you to see better in the dark. These devices are battery operated, but only the binoculars will have to be recharged. Do not fret, you will be able to upgrade the batteries that will extend the viewing time of the binoculars as well as the telescopes.

Rabbits and more rabbits..... a night is filled with random wild life. If you are bored waiting for the pesky predators, they can be other target practise options. It is important to remember that the shot may scare predators away.

Added visual and audio hit effects to the landscape and animals

UI changes:

We are very excited to announce that we approached an expert...and a graphics designer helped with our logo and some in-game UI.

Other changes:

The reticle of the Beginner telescope has changed and there is no more dust, dirt or splashed bugs on it.

What is next?

Our secrets for the next update will be posted on twitter @AfricanPlains, facebook African Plains Studios and our discord channel https://discord.gg/VES6Bkbk73. So follow us and find out what you can expect with our next update!! Happy hunting.
