Morels: The Hunt

Health and Updates
Made a similar post on the Morels: 2 page.

This is Wes from Abrams Studios. As many of you know, our studio is made up of just three brothers. We make games about things we love and are passionate about. None of us are able to do this full-time making our resources limited. I am the lead developer, only programmer, the one who handles all support issues, manages the Steam Community Hub and Social Media.

The reason why I wanted to mention the above is because I am dealing with some health issues that have hit me harder than expected. There will be times like this last week where I will be limited to what I can do on the game because of my health. This will eventually lead to me having to have a Bone Marrow Transplant sometime between Summer and Fall. When that happens I will mostly likely have to take a couple of months off. I felt it was important to let everyone know at least a little about the situation so there will be no surprise when that happens. I will make a post on here when that time comes so everyone knows there my be limited replies or updates during that time. Until then we will do our best to keep updating the game and I will do my best to keep up with support and the steam hub as well. There will be other times where my treatment or other things to do with my health may delay my responses but I will do my best to get back to everyone as soon as I can.



Thanks for all the support.

Major Announcement! Morels: The Hunt 2

Speed Hunt Update!
We are excited to announce that the new Speed Hunt Mode Update is now live. To celebrate the update the game will also be 75% off for the next two weeks.

We know this new mode will not be for everyone. I imagine most of us enjoy the game for its casual and relaxing features and don't really want to be rushing around. This new mode will just be for players who want to try something a little different.

You can choose between 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes to find as many morel mushrooms as you can in that amount of time in the map that you choose. The records are saved and you can keep trying to beat your high score.



Bug Fixes



We also believe we have fixed the bug that would occasionally not activate the finished season achievement. If you were one of the players affected by this bug, the next time you play your game you should get the achievement.

Game Update Live
We are excited to announce that we have just made an update to the game and it is live now. The new Speed Hunt Mode was not quite ready for release yet so that is not in this update. However, since there were a couple of important bug fixes we wanted to go ahead and get this update out now. We know the Single Season Achievement bug has been an annoying one. We believe this should now be fixed. We hope to release the new Speed Hunt Mode in the next update.

IN THIS UPDATE



Viewfinder Update



We have updated the viewfinder in camera mode to have transparency instead of being all black outside your viewing area. This should help players track down running animals better. Visually we believe it also looks better.

Old Viewfinder




New Viewfinder




Picking Up Mushrooms Update



We have added a particle effect to the mushrooms when you pick them up. We have also made it animate towards you like you are actually collecting it instead of it just going up and disappearing suddenly.



Bug Fixes



We have stopped the secret event in Indiana Country from making you lose days. This was causing an unintended bug to weekly tasks.

We believe we have finally fixed the Single Season Achievement Bug.

We can't thank you enough for all of the support. We hope to have the new Speed Hunt Mode update soon. If anyone has any questions or issues please do not hesitate to reach out to us. You can contact us at support@abramsstudios.com or me directly at wes@abramsstudios.com.

New Game Mode Coming Soon!
We are excited to announce that we will be releasing an update with a new game mode soon. The update will also have an improvement to the viewfinder in camera mode and a couple bug fixes.

New Speed Hunt Mode.



We know this new mode will not be for everyone. I imagine most of us enjoy the game for its casual and relaxing features and don't really want to be rushing around. This new mode will just be for players who want to try something a little different.

You can choose between 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes to find as many morel mushrooms as you can in that amount of time in the map that you choose. The records are saved and you can keep trying to beat your high score.


Viewfinder Update



In addition to the new mode, the update will also feature an update to the viewfinder in camera mode. We have found it was a bit difficult to track down animals as they were running around when you could only see in the middle of the screen. Everything outside of that was blocked by black outside of your viewing area. In the new update you will be able to see outside that area as well. It will still be a little darker outside the viewing area but now you will be able to see everything in view even if it is not in view of the camera.

The Old Viewfinder.




The New Viewfinder




Other Updates



We have added 120 and 180 Minute day lengths you can now choose when you start a new game.

Bug Fixes



We have stopped the secret event in Indiana Country from making you lose days. This was causing an unintended bug to weekly tasks.

We believe we have finally fixed the Single Season Achievement Bug.

We are still working out some stuff with the update but we hope to release it soon. We are looking for a few people to test the update before going live. If you are interested send me an email to wes@abramsstudios.com.

Thank you for all the support.
