Ducks change need zones frequently to mitigate the issue, but it’s still a problem. This makes the time it takes to attract a group with decoys very inconsistent.
The frequency of attraction is inconsistent: The selection of a bird’s next need zone is random (making them unpredictable).You are probably saying, “that’s fine, but what exactly is this waterfowl rework?”īefore we get into that, let’s look at why the waterfowl and geese were lackluster based on user research, survey feedback, and bugs, we determined the following: With Revontuli Coast, our primary focus has been the waterfowl rework. With Rancho Del Arroyo, we added upland bird hunting and pheasants with Mississippi Acres Preserve, we added amphibious water technology via the alligators and environmental interaction with the Raccoons and trash cans.Īs we prepared for this next reserve and what would lead up to the waterfowl rework, we have also been fundamentally overhauling home ranges across all reserves (more on that in a future developer diary!).
Something we have striven to do with each previous release was to either expand gameplay, tackle technical debt (the effort of improving existing systems and/or increasing performance), or add functionality. One of the things that we knew needed to be addressed early on was the lackluster waterfowl. To give you all a quick update, I joined Expansive Worlds and the Call of the Wild team in 2021. In our first developer diary installment, I’m here to talk to you about the waterfowl rework that is coming out alongside the release of Revontuli Coast, our upcoming reserve. My name is Troy Schram, and I’m the Lead Designer on theHunter: Call of the Wild.
