Hello everyone!
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank every player who gave us feedback regarding the First Hunting Season. We’ve got more feedback than we actually expected, but we’ve read all of them! Special thanks to the players who didn’t simply spam “10 out of 10” and gave us actual feedback. As we promised, we will be sending rewards out next week. Instead of one, we chose 2 feedback eligible for 50 batteries: Hawk and Youmi!

The first Hunting Season has come to an end
Hello survivors!
We’re announcing the end of the first Hunting Season. When we came up with the idea of the event itself, we didn’t know how we could make it work, so every player would have a chance to be rewarded for hunting different creatures. We decided to make it happen in a straightforward way: announcing here and on Discord when it’s actually happening, sending out the rewards, repeating it from week to week. We wanted to see how the community would react and collect feedback from these six weeks to make the Second Hunting Season much, much better. Still, we want to ask you for a favor. Please, complete the survey below to help us understand your feelings about the event better. So far, we only have our technical data and observations and would like to find out what you think.
Stay tuned for news regarding the Second Hunting Week, and thanks for participating in the first one!

- 3 new Story chapters – Time to continue your journey!

What do you mean by “stronger creatures” exactly?
We have an official statement from the devs:
Dear survivors!
We’ve changed the balance for some of the aliens in the game. It is related to us preparing to add 12 new aliens, and we have to make some space for them on every difficulty level. Thanks to your purchases (Monster Voting Bundle), we’ve gathered $280 to spend on adding and working on new creatures!
What’s changing is that most monsters will get stronger, ranging from barely noticeable to even a 20% increase. Basically, the tougher an alien was before, the more powerful it becomes now so that weaker creatures can be added in its place to make the gameplay much more interesting and diversified. Additionally, a balancing move was long overdue due to weapons having a buff for a few months now (better parameters and enhancements) that made them overpowered against unbuffed creatures, especially on higher levels.
Examples of difficulty changes:
– Turtiger +3%
– Nematode +9%
– Cotoje +14%
However, there are some exceptions, like a heavy and powerful Armadon getting a 47% difficulty increase. Sounds dangerous, but thanks to that, we’ll be able to add 7 new creatures appearing before you encounter your first Armadon! We hope the changes will be to your liking and again, HUGE thanks for helping us with the development of the game’s world!
