Bloodhunt Dev Tracker

Hello Bloodhunt community!

This is the second week of Bloodhunt Early Access, and we wanted to share some thoughts with you on our strategy around anti-cheat and what we are doing to combat cheating and hacking in our game. Cheating is very frustrating for developers and players alike and sadly widespread among online multiplayer games. Sharkmob is committed to removing hackers and cheaters from our games and we will be unwavering in our efforts to protect our game, and players, from such behavior.

We have already started banning the offenders we have caught so far, but many of the more advanced cheats can often be adjusted to work their way around detection methods. As part of Early Access we are in a form of "learning mode", where our systems and developers are watching and waiting to see what kind of cheats are deployed. Once we have a big enough data set of regular gameplay vs cheating we will be able to auto-detect offenders much easier and hopefully prevent ... Read more

Hello Bloodhunt Community!

It is now day 2 of our Early Access program and it is already time to push out a small update. Early Access is an important stage for us, as it allows us to identify issues we couldn’t pick up on locally and improve on the game based on the feedback from you, the community.
This is a small backend update.

Resolved issue
Playing with friends

We have heard from some players that you are running into issues when playing with friends, and even though we had a workaround we feel that making it easy to play with friends is of very high priority for us.
So today we released a backend fix that should resolve the playing with friends issue when you are playing with different localized versions of the game. The update is already live when you are reading this, so please let us know if you feel that things work better now.

Other Identified Issues
For transparency, we also wanted to talk about s... Read more

Bloodhunt is now available in the Steam Early Access program and we are very excited to welcome you back to the streets and rooftops of Prague!

We’re starting our Early Access journey with a bit of network testing. This will help us identify how our server works now that we have no limitations on the amount of people that will be able to play our game at the same time.
On 14 September, we will be taking down our services for maintenance so we can improve our systems based on what we have learned.
But don’t worry, we plan to get things up and running again the day after – on 15 September.

This Early Access period does not currently have a specified end date and we plan to keep it running until we feel that our game is ready to be released.

We hope that you’ll find the game to be a very enjoyable experience as well!

Bloodhunt in Early Access is free-to-play with no set limitations on server capacity. This means that those of you who wish to join will be able to do so long as we have the server capacity to support this.
