Hello, dear developers and players!
ANIMAL ATTACKS
-
We believe everyone can agree on how awesome it would be to see some animals attack from time to time. For example, buffalo often charge hunters even after being shot. We think lions could have a similar behavior — and appear more frequently — attacking when they notice our presence. This would bring an interesting dynamic and add even more realism to the game!

Another animal we think should be able to attack is the wolf. However, considering the size of a pack, we understand that it might be hard to deal with all of them. So, we thought of two possible scenarios:
1st: The alpha — the one with the most stars or best genetics — would be the only one to attack, especially if it sensed our presence or if the pack was attacked.
2nd: The pack would split, and only part of the males (the younger or older ones, for example) would go on the attack.
3nd: A hunting day — what if the roles were reversed? Have you ever thought about the possibility that, instead of just defending themselves like in the examples above, the animals actually tried to hunt us? We think this could create a fun dynamic! Imagine carnivores going out to hunt on dark and eerie nights… and us, the hunters, becoming the prey!
CARNIVORE CHASES
Something we think would be really cool to see is carnivores chasing prey, like in other hunting games such as The Hunter Classic, where a pack of wolves chases a mountain elk.
However, we also realize how frustrating it would be if our 5-star animals, or the ones we were tracking for progression, were killed due to this mechanic. So, we suggest implementing just the animation of the chase, without the predator actually managing to kill the prey. That alone would be amazing and incredibly satisfying to witness!
Additionally, we thought herbivores could become more agitated and alert when predators are nearby — this kind of interaction would greatly increase the game’s immersion.
