| 11s | thanks i'm really glad to hear that and |
| 14s | today we are here with a developer |
| 16s | update video as well as a blog for you |
| 18s | guys that we have been promising for a |
| 20s | while but it took us a long time to |
| 22s | finish so hope you guys don't mind the |
| 24s | delay for that in the future we are |
| 26s | preparing more videos and blogs such as |
| 28s | this one so please keep an eye out for |
| 30s | that but in this one we will be talking |
| 33s | about the near future of hunt but before |
| 35s | that let's start with a smaller |
| 37s | community related update regarding our |
| 40s | ongoing communications in the future and |
| 42s | also about our coming updates |
| 46s | it's been an incredible four years so we |
| 48s | decided to kick off our anniversary |
| 49s | celebrations this year with the twitch |
| 50s | drop campaign you know the last four |
| 52s | years they haven't always been easy but |
| 54s | we are really proud of how far hunt has |
| 56s | come in this time we want to thank you |
| 58s | very much because your feedback has |
| 60s | helped shape the development of hunt |
| 62s | over the last four years and we couldn't |
| 63s | have done it without you we have a lot |
| 65s | more planned for hunt not just this year |
| 67s | but for many years to come but before we |
| 69s | go down that much longer route let's |
| 71s | take a little bit of time to focus on |
| 73s | the not too distant future as we already |
| 75s | mentioned a few times this year we |
| 78s | really want to focus on transparency so |
| 80s | in order to do that we want to prepare a |
| 82s | lot more videos as well as blogs for you |
| 84s | this is our very first try at that but |
| 87s | other than these we will also create |
| 89s | inside videos where we will talk about |
| 91s | new features uh new additions to the |
| 94s | game and hot topics in the community a |
| 96s | few examples to that there are |
| 98s | matchmaking video and our hit |
| 99s | registration video and anything else you |
| 102s | name it we'll try to make a video on it |
| 104s | to be up to date on all this all the |
| 106s | time make sure to follow us on all our |
| 108s | social media channels and subscribe to |
| 111s | our youtube channel as well so for the |
| 113s | first half of 2022 we're going to be |
| 115s | doing a bit of a focus on the service |
| 116s | aspects of hunt this is going to involve |
| 118s | working on performance from both a |
| 120s | client and server perspective new live |
| 122s | events |
| 123s | ui changes new |
| 125s | in-game systems as well as some new |
| 127s | in-game features which is something that |
| 129s | we'll go into in later videos the first |
| 131s | of these service updates is going to be |
| 133s | update 1.8 which will have a bit of a |
| 135s | focus on the server and client |
| 138s | performance aspects all of these |
| 139s | additions will be aimed at ensuring the |
| 141s | longevity of hunt because we have a lot |
| 143s | of plants but first we need to lay the |
| 145s | groundwork for what is to come so let's |
| 147s | talk about update 1.8 usually 1.x |
| 150s | updates are larger content driven |
| 153s | updates but that will not be the case |
| 155s | with 1.8 as rick mentioned earlier it |
| 157s | will include a lot of server side |
| 159s | improvements so server performance and |
| 162s | client performance changes will come |
| 163s | with this update we are also adding |
| 165s | other changes such as the missing tier 2 |
| 168s | hunter lobby and weapon animations the |
| 171s | cane changes that you have all been |
| 173s | waiting for a while |
| 174s | as well as fixes to the first person |
| 177s | view with 13 legendary hunters so now |
| 180s | you will be able to see their |
| 182s | hands and arms properly in first person |
| 185s | you as well this update will also |
| 187s | include a bulk of the upcoming light |
| 189s | event but more info on that very very |
| 192s | soon |
| 193s | in terms of the server and client |
| 194s | performance improvements there's a |
| 195s | couple of points we wanted to touch on |
| 197s | to let you know what we've done to try |
| 198s | and help the current situation we know |
| 200s | that a number of you have been |
| 201s | experiencing issues since update 1.7 so |
| 204s | we've really been trying our best to |
| 205s | resolve these for as many of you as |
| 207s | possible first off on the server side |
| 209s | we've made improvements to how the |
| 211s | server processes physicalized entities |
| 213s | in the world this means that we reduce |
| 215s | the processing costs tied to the ai |
| 217s | doors change and chains and any other |
| 219s | interactable objects within the wall on |
| 221s | top of that we've removed a component |
| 223s | that is no longer used which was |
| 225s | impacting our server performance we also |
| 227s | noticed some spikes in performance when |
| 228s | it came to idle ai these ai were using |
| 231s | far more resources than needed so we've |
| 233s | made some improvements to ensure that |
| 235s | their cost is severely reduced from the |
| 237s | client performance side of things we've |
| 239s | made some changes into how the game |
| 241s | interacts with the steam api during a |
| 243s | game session we were making some calls |
| 245s | to a number of features on the steam api |
| 247s | every frame and this was costly which |
| 250s | resulted in a decrease in performance |
| 252s | for some of you with these improvements |
| 254s | we're hoping that this will be a step in |
| 255s | the right direction to help |
| 257s | some of the issues you've been |
| 258s | experiencing but we know this will not |
| 260s | resolve it for everybody so because of |
| 262s | this we are introducing some new tools |
| 264s | that are going to help us further our |
| 265s | investigations as we progress through |
| 267s | the next couple of months one of the |
| 269s | tools we'll be using is called a |
| 270s | lightweight profiler to feed a beta code |
| 273s | that we'll be giving players access to |
| 275s | that will allow us to gather more data |
| 277s | about the issues that they are |
| 278s | encountering make sure to check up on |
| 280s | our blog or the most recent patch notes |
| 282s | for update 1.8 for more details on how |
| 284s | you can help us with our investigations |
| 287s | other than all these awesome service |
| 289s | side improvements we also have a live |
| 291s | event coming up called the traitors moon |

| 297s | events have become a concrete part of |
| 299s | han shodhan over the past few years and |
| 301s | we've been able to create a lot of |
| 303s | enthralling stories for you and this |
| 306s | year will be no different this time |

| 334s | future talking about the future let's |
| 337s | talk about what is coming to front in |
| 339s | early q2 so in the early part of q2 |
| 342s | we're looking at introducing a new |
| 344s | system that's going to replace the daily |
| 346s | and weekly challenges we're calling this |
| 348s | a quest system this will be the first |
| 350s | step towards adding a more engaging |
| 352s | element of progression to hunt and your |
| 354s | play sessions |
| 355s | we have a lot to talk about with this so |
| 357s | we're not going to get into it right now |
| 359s | but we're definitely going to have a lot |
| 361s | more details to share with you as we get |
| 363s | closer to the update along with the |
| 365s | daily quests we're also going to be |
| 366s | introducing two new variations to the |
| 369s | grunt ai cast and hunt this will be the |
| 371s | first step in introducing a bit more |
| 372s | variety to the ai in the game over the |
| 374s | coming year but we'll go into more |
| 376s | detail about this in the upcoming |
| 378s | developer live stream before the new |
| 380s | year it was brought to our attention |
| 382s | that there were some misalignments with |
| 383s | the animations for certain weapons in |
| 386s | the third person view since then we have |
| 388s | been working on fixing these issues and |
| 391s | all the animations now will be aligned |
| 393s | across the entire arsenal in hunt |
| 396s | we want to thank the whole community for |
| 399s | bringing this to our attention and we |
| 400s | aim to bring this fixed fit update 1.8.1 |
| 404s | after taking a closer look at early q2 |
| 407s | let's dive into later mid q2 and early |
| 411s | q3 as well so we'll have a quick |
| 413s | overview for you with some of the |
| 415s | highlights we are currently working on |
| 417s | please be aware that this will not be a |
| 420s | full list of changes coming up but |
| 422s | rather a selection of our highlights as |
| 424s | we are getting closer to mid late q2 and |
| 427s | early q3 we will create more blogs more |
| 430s | videos as well as more live streams to |
| 433s | give you a more detailed view of all the |
| 435s | additions coming to fund later this year |
| 438s | we're also planning to introduce a new |
| 440s | gameplay feature this is something |
| 441s | that's going to come around update 1.9 |
| 444s | this feature will bring new elements of |
| 446s | team play to the bayou as well as |
| 447s | doubling up as an anti-camping mechanic |
| 450s | we don't want to go too much into it |
| 451s | right now as this feature is still in |
| 453s | the works but we'll definitely have a |
| 454s | lot more details for you leading up to |
| 456s | its release one thing we received a lot |
| 458s | of feedback over the last few months is |
| 460s | the ui |
| 461s | so in late q2 early q3 we're going to be |
| 464s | making some changes to several sections |
| 466s | that have been the among the most |
| 468s | discussed within the community we're |
| 469s | currently planning to bring improvements |
| 471s | to the death screen and the team details |
| 473s | screen we know that many of you have |
| 474s | been asking us to share more information |
| 476s | on these pages so that is going to be |
| 478s | one of our goals with these changes as |
| 479s | well as that we're also planning a bit |
| 481s | of a read for the equipment screen in |
| 483s | the hopes to improve the overall |
| 485s | usability when in these menus we've been |
| 487s | keeping a close eye on your feedback so |
| 489s | we're hoping that these changes will be |
| 491s | welcome additions for you all we know |
| 493s | that the topic of region logs have been |
| 495s | a big topic within our community for |
| 497s | quite some time now so we are planning |
| 500s | to introduce some changes and |
| 501s | limitations when it comes to playing |
| 504s | outside of someone's region we are |
| 505s | currently working on the best approach |
| 507s | to take with introducing these changes |
| 509s | so the information we can share right |
| 512s | now is quite limited one of our main |
| 514s | goals for this upcoming system will be |
| 517s | to ensure fairness in the matchups while |
| 520s | still allowing players to at least have |
| 522s | one region available for them to play in |
| 525s | we have a lot of players around the |
| 526s | world and some live in regions where we |
| 529s | currently do not have servers in so we |
| 531s | want to make sure that everyone can |
| 533s | still play hunt but make it much fairer |
| 536s | for everyone involved as i mentioned |
| 538s | earlier this is still work in progress |
| 540s | so we cannot share a lot at this moment |
| 543s | but we wanted to make you all aware that |
| 545s | this is something we are investigating |
| 548s | and working on obviously in the future |
| 550s | we will have more updates regarding this |
| 552s | topic as well |
| 553s | lastly we'll also be working towards |
| 555s | some changes to the progression in hunt |
| 557s | we mentioned the quest system earlier |
| 559s | but we'll also be looking at making |
| 560s | improvements to all aspects of |
| 562s | progression including the prestige |
| 564s | system we'll have a lot more details to |
| 566s | share with you in the future about this |
| 568s | so make sure you keep an eye on our |
| 569s | upcoming blogs developer live streams |
| 571s | and videos for more information this is |
| 573s | not a full list of what's to come for |
| 575s | later in q2 and q3 but we wanted to just |
| 578s | give you a brief selection of highlights |
| 580s | of what is going to come throughout this |
| 582s | year as we get closer to each of these |
| 584s | periods we'll have further blogs and |
| 586s | videos detailing more of what is to come |
| 589s | as always to keep updated make sure to |
| 592s | check our social media channels and |
| 594s | subscribe to our youtube channel where |
