Happy New Year
A lot has happened this year and we would like to summarize it here.
The biggest milestone this year was the switch to Unreal Engine 5, which was finally completed. There were also a total of 33 updates this year, which was an update every 1.5 weeks on average. Since the switch to Unreal Engine 5 is complete, there will not only be updates in the future that contain
mostly bug fixes, but also new features and functions that will be added to the game.
The next major milestone is already being worked on from January, namely the “Consume & Connect” update. Many will already be looking forward to the update and another base will then find its place in the game. This update will then include fuel consumption for vehicles, as well as electricity and water consumption. In addition, gas consumption will be added for melting and much more.
The update is expected to be released at the end of January or beginning of February.
Until the big update, the regular Friday updates will continue, but will be smaller. This will allow us to focus on the big upcoming update and still provide you with small updates.
Well, that's all for now.
The whole Gold Hunter team wishes all players a happy new year.

Winter Sale & Free 2 Play Weekend
So far this month we have released many updates and with each update the game is getting better and better. The focus is of course on bug fixing, but we've already added some new features to the game and there are many more features planned.
Here you can find our roadmap: Trello Roadmap
But now we would also like to give the community a little Christmas treat.
The game can currently be purchased in the Winter Sale with a 20% discount.
We are also offering everyone the opportunity to play the game for free at the weekend.
This will be a kind of “Free 2 Play” weekend, in the form of a demo/playtest.
So everyone can have a look at the game and become a prospector themselves.
At the event, you will be able to test all functions except for the multiplayer. This will not be activated during the Free 2 Play weekend for organizational reasons. In future events the multiplayer will be activated, but we will need more planning and this event was a spontaneous Christmas surprise.
The event will start on Friday, December 20, 2024 at 2 pm and the event will end on Monday, December 23, 2024 at 7 pm. All times are Central European Time.
So, that's it for now and on that note, we wish all players a great week and a Merry Christmas.
