Future Plans & Demo Update | 0.1009

Hello,

We are releasing a small patch that should have a big impact on performance (at least I hope so). Besides performance, we did tweaks to animals' AI that will be rebuilt in the future.

Changelog | Demo 0.1009

  • Performance improvements

  • Animals AI improvements

Future Plans

After reviewing your feedback and the current development status, we have decided to release Ultimate Hunting in Early Access.

The Early Access version will launch with the Africa map and a core set of animal species, at least 10, depending on development progress. It will focus on providing a solid foundation for future expansion as development continues.

Right now, we are concentrating on the areas you most frequently pointed out as needing improvement:

  • Rebuilding the animal AI system from the ground up

  • Rebuilding the ballistics system

  • Redesigning the scope system

  • Rebuilding the tracking system

  • Improving the graphics to reach a quality level closer to the California map

  • Improving vehicle driving and physics

Alongside these improvements, the Early Access version will also expand the content available in the game:

  • More equipment, including additional weapons, optics, and hunting calls

  • New animal species

  • A proper quest and mission system

  • A fully implemented scoring system

During Early Access, we will constantly fix bugs and provide new content. The EA price will be $5-10, and if the progress we've made is significant and worth it (both in quality & content), we will probably increase the price. EA will be released in a few months.

Your feedback has been valuable in helping us prioritize what matters most.

Thank you to everyone who tested the demo and shared their thoughts.

It plays a huge role in shaping the future of Ultimate Hunting.

Regards,

Raf
