Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to create the most authentic hunting simulator possible, one that will appeal to both experienced hunters and fans of the genre. Early Access allows us to work alongside our community to test mechanics in practice, fine-tune bird behavior, ballistics, and environmental systems, and gradually expand the game with new species and locations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning two major expeditions to Yakutia, each focused on different groups of waterfowl. During these expeditions, we will observe bird behavior and record high-quality audio for the game. The timeline depends directly on the budget and success of these expeditions, but we currently estimate completing our core work and leaving Early Access in 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“- An expanded arsenal of firearms with selectable chokes and ammunition types;
- Various additional gear to diversify hunting methods;
- Numerous new species of waterfowl and upland game birds;
- A new 'Contracts' game mode;
- An updated hunter's lodge;
- A shooting range for target practice;
- Three new large locations with seasonal changes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the core mechanics that form the foundation of a realistic hunting experience:
- Two game modes: 'FREE HUNT' and 'BET';
- An in-game economy with a reputation system;
- A variety of duck species, including diving ducks;
- The LPI algorithm for decoy placement, which simulates real-world factors and their impact;
- Wind calls with a unique mechanic requiring you to reproduce sounds based on musical notes;
- A boat that can be used on water and transported over land;

We are actively working on improving the simulator, adding new species, expanding the arsenal, and refining the environments. The game already captures the true atmosphere of a hunt, and with each update, we strive to make it even better."”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually increase the price as we add new content and features throughout the Early Access period. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We aim to foster an active dialogue with our players through Steam, Discord, and social media.
We want players to share their impressions, suggest improvements, and even vote on development priorities. It's important to us that our community feels like a part of the process.
Your feedback will be crucial in helping us make the simulator as authentic and engaging as possible.”
