Now developing : A first approach to hunting!

[UncasualGames]

We want to add a first approach to hunting so you can hunt those piggies that are eating your food!

Only a few weapons will be included and a simple hunting behavior will be implemented. We will develop hunting feature to higher extents in the future.

Post your comments on Mesolithic hunting! We want to be as historically accurate as possible.

While we're on the hunting subject. Can you make "hunting fish" not require walking miles after a few years?. The fish pool in the river seems to deplete a bit too fast for ~6 fishermen

[UncasualGames]

Fish spots regenerate slowly during the year. If you deplete food in your settlement maybe you should move to other part of the map or maybe migrate to other location.

Hunting will depend on what game. for boar specifically we should see people hunt them as a group of 2-3 per boar. they should walk till near to the boar then creep until within range. they should have at least 1 bow in the group, however spears will do just fine. then when they make the kill they should walk back as a group with the boar carcass strung up somehow on them or between them to the campsite where they deposit it for processing.

Later on this mechanic will have to change once you add in larger and smaller game along with different technology.

Hey guys quick question? Will You generate a new type group for hunting? Or will it be a new option in the fishing group?

[UncasualGames]

Yes hunting will include a new group to the tribe.

[mdelaune]

How many new animals to hunt will be added in the hunting update? I saw deer in the teaser, Are there any others?

Great!! Do You have estimated when the water well will be not just a decoration?

What weapons could be added?

[UncasualGames]

We will include some small animals and some of the current weapons will be used for Mesolithic hunting too.

\\o I cant wait! o// :D

i hope you will implement the spear-thrower because it was always used during this time. At this period animals instinct was much more developed than now and animals skin was more thicks so they never hunted in closed combat which makes sense.The spears was used for the killing. Never humans killed animals with knife or silex.

and ? where is it ?

[✪ EsQuuZmiii]

I think they are still working to make things right...

[UncasualGames]

We will release a first hunting test version for backers ( in the backers branch ) in a few days. When we solve every issue we will deploy the update in the public branch.
