It has been one year since the release of the Early Access version of Gold Hunter.
A lot of energy and time has been put into the project and we still have a lot planned.
First of all, we would like to thank all players for their support, be it in the form of suggestions, bug reports and livestreams. This is what makes the game unique and
allows us to design the game partly according to the players.
There have been many ups and downs in the past, all of which we have been able to overcome so far.
In the end, that's what makes the project and also makes us strong for future tasks.
Live Streams
Currently I am still a bit sick, but I hope that this will improve in the near future. From the 15th of June I plan to start regular developer livestreams again. That means, again dev streams from monday to friday and there will be as usual on friday evening the talk stream. the talk stream. In the talk stream we talk about news, answer your questions and if an update is planned, the changes will be shown and the update will be released afterwards.
Updates
The next planned update should come this month. Unfortunately I can't give an exact date yet. In this update the focus is on multiplayer, gold balance and general bug fixes. There will be no further system and enhancements yet, because I lost some time due to my illness.
But by popular demand from the community, the Experimental version will be back. For you as a player, this means that we will bring future updates to "Experimental" first and this can be tested extensively.
Since all players will have access to this version, a large number of players can filter out the last bugs in the shortest possible time and we can fix them.
After 1-2 weeks the version can then come to the "stable", ie standard version of the game. This means that we don't only have a small group of players who can test the update before it is actually released, but every player can test it.
Once the next update is released, there will also be an update every week on Friday if necessary. This is to get back into the rhythm of being able to provide an update within a short period of time.
Roadmap 2023
We still have over 6 months to release various updates this year.
In this time there will also be one or the other new system/module in the game.
To give you a little foretaste, I'll mention a few points here.
■ more vehicles
■ tank system
■ company system (employee-, vehicle- and rights management)
■ power system (generators, cables, etc.)
■ water system (pumps, hoses, etc.).
These are just a few modules that will be waiting for you.
Social Networks
Another point, are the social networks. Unfortunately, these have been used very rarely in the past. On Discord or Steam news and announcements are published, but you can provide much more. Be it regular news, teasers on future updates and much more.
In addition, other networks such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. were very neglected.
But this should change in the future and we want to fill these channels with regular content.
So, that should be it for today's article. We hope that we can answer many of your questions.
If you still have questions, please feel free to ask us.
Otherwise, we wish all players a nice weekend and see you at the next livestream.
