Community Feedback Round #1

We are also starting Community Feedback Rounds to collect more focused feedback via our official Discord and Steam forums, and to involve you more directly in shaping specific parts of the game during Early Access.

We have our own vision and direction for the game, but we also want to hear your observations, ideas, and constructive feedback - both from your in-game experience and your real-life hunting experience. We’ll be running these feedback rounds regularly, most likely in two-week cycles, each focused on specific features, animals, systems, or gameplay elements.

The first feedback round runs from April 1 to April 14. During this time, we will collect your feedback on:

Please keep feedback constructive, specific, and based on your experience - both in-game and in real life. 

Thank you for being part of the Early Access journey with us. We really appreciate the time you spend playing and sharing your thoughts.

Happy hunting!
