Dev Appreciation: A Photo Gallery

[tired slate]

Sometimes it's easy to see a lot of negative stuff in the feedback section. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you to the dev team.

This game is actually really amazing and your team doesn't get enough positive feedback.

As an amateur photographer, I'm legitimately blown away by the quality that this game can deliver.

Thanks for your efforts. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to what the future holds for COTW.

imagine how insane those pictures would look with photo mode

[unborn turret]

100% agree
Although there's alot of changes we want to see and new things added, I think it's worthwhile to just stepback and also see how amazing the game is

[deft tiger]

Hey @tired slate @unborn turret @cursive cave ! Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to the team to hear this. We pour a lot of passion into making the game the best it can be, and knowing that players like you appreciate the experience makes it all worthwhile.

There's plenty more to come for COTW, and we can't wait to share what’s next.

Happy hunting, and thanks again for your support! If you have any ideas on your mind, we'd love to hear them at: https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Really nice examples of the quality of images this game can produce

[cursive cave]

do you edit your pictures or are those actually the game

[tired slate]

I edit some of them

[cursive cave]

alright well done looks good

[storm ravine]

Who needs AI when you have COTW and a photo editor ....

[tired slate]

Hating or...?

[storm ravine]

Nothing but Love .... great pics ... I hate AI

[tired slate]

I know it's a bit redundant to edit game pics but I really do like what EW have been able to produce. Glad you're comin at it from a good place.

[hazy latch]

Imho AI has its uses when used appropriately but I do agree the overall miss use is staggering.

[storm ravine]

Keep on making em I'll use them as a desktop screen background

[tired slate]

I'll post some more when I get a chance. Started to try and get em in 1440p, dunno if or how bad they end up getting compressed through discord

Was stoked to see some love from EW_Vivi in the photography channel for that Medved pic above

[hazy latch]

If possible I'd really like too see what you can do with Medved with a Lynx. I adore that reserve 😅

[tired slate]

I'll see what I can come up with 🙂

I sniped a lvl7 earlier. Harvest screen looked like it was high as a kite or grinnin like a Cheshire

[hazy latch]

yea I got one sitting with a huge pleased smile on it. It was adorable. I love the model I would love to see a G1 variant with natural/rare coats. The fantasy themes are cool but I love the authentic models.

[storm ravine]

If I can get enough really good COTW images ... I'll make a COTW windows desktop theme .... giving credit to the artists of course

[tired slate]

the only artists are EW imo

[storm ravine]

Good photo editing skills are not to be treated lightly

[tired slate]

But mine aren't worth the attention. I don't mind not being mentioned, in fact I'd prefer not to be. Your feedback is kind enough

[storm ravine]

I look at it this way .... good photography is considered art ... it's going out in the world and being in the the right place and the right time to capture that special and unique picture .....

[storm ravine]

Could be a sunset or sunrise ... could be an animal stalking in the jungle or grazing in a field .... Those all take skill and patience to capture .... Doesn't matter if its game world or in real world ....

[storm ravine]

I'm hoping we will be allowed to convert some of the unused plaques in our trophy lodges to picture frames where we can display pictures like these to really customize our lodges ....

[tired slate]

are there any tickets in feedback to this effect? Surely there's realestate on the walls enough to support hanging paintings etc without sacrificing plaques

[storm ravine]

Funny you should ask ..... https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1070745361712431214

[tired slate]

Might be worth adding a feedback post exclusively for hanging photos in lodges given EW already acknowledged the original post. Added a like for you

[storm ravine]

Be my quest ... the more request the more likely they are to do it ....

[tired slate]

just read that they totally acknowledged the pics in trophy lodges. nice one!

[tired slate]

first rushed attempt

[hazy latch]

Playin in the snow love it

[tired slate]

She was down wind from me or I'd have tried getting closer.

[storm ravine]

@tired slate are you on cosole or PC?

[tired slate]

PC

[hazy latch]

Never grow tired seeing this reserve & these shots are pretty good esp. with how Lynx's sense of awareness is.

[exotic peak]

After 4 years of playing the only thing that holding me is graphics. It's a pity that behawour of predators is long outdated.

[storm ravine]

Are you using screen print to capture or the in game camera ? Im sure you know the in game camera has a zoom feature that will allow you to get even closer to the subject without spooking ... If you are using the camera then maybe we can suggest an expanded zoom to get you even closer ...

[storm ravine]

I would suggest this knew telephoto camera / lens would be actual camera item that you must buy in the store and place in an inventory spot. It would have weight as well so not everyone would choose to use it ....

With some of the Photo challenges in game it would be great to have available. This telephoto lens would really get you up close without having to get too close . perhaps some camo clothing and a special blind or stand you could get even get closer .....

Also having the ability to highlight and post pics in trophy lodges it would make having and carrying this knew lens even more important ... Of course those who don't have the lens will still be able to take pics with the current camera/lens ...

[tired slate]

in-game capture. that last shot of the Lynxs was maximum zoom at about 120m from target.I took the image at 1440p so I could crop down if I wanted but the treeline was too nice to crop out

Lighting here is pretty good. Though I did notice an error I have to report related to lighting, but I have to find it again. One of the reserves has an issue in the trees with rays going up instead of down.

[tired slate]

well that's pretty interesting, lol... "scuse me fellas but ima point this beam of light in the other direction, I'm an individual..."

around dusk there are some absolutely stunning red sun streams to be seen on Emerald Coast when in the mangroves. around 6pm iirc

[hazy latch]

It did strike me as a what the moment 🤣 but it did get annoying bc it was blinding at several angles.

[tired slate]

2nd albino, tucked away in the south east mangroves. Think i might have to spend a bit more time clearing them out to see if there's more to be found.

[tired slate]

up for a night hunt? no lights, no tracks...

[tired slate]

This one isn't so good but it's the best I could do

[hazy latch]

Looks authentic & I think you're not giving yourself enough credit. If I didn't know it was an in-game photo I would assume it was the real deal.

[swift sky]

I agree, they listen to the community and have done an awesome job. My favorite devs of any game. It's been an amazing journey an can't wait to see what the future holds, thank you for the years so far EW an happy hunting everyone!

[wraith silo]

These are incredible. Also, doesn’t Forza Horizon 4 have a photo mode? I am far from a photographer, but something like that could work. I remember going from my 2001 Xbox to my Xbox 1 and playing Forza and not believing how realistic it looked. I think that this game is similar and reminds me of Forza in that way, a game with stunning visuals that you can do whatever you want and have a great time. Always something new to do with these types of games. I have never seen such communicative devs for a game before, thumbs up from me
