Hello everyone,
It has been a while since our last major update, and we want to thank everyone for their patience, excitement, and continued support. A lot has been happening behind the scenes, and the team has been working hard to prepare Carnival Hunt for Early Access.
Over the past weeks, Carnival Hunt has received many improvements across stability, gameplay, UI, optimization, and the overall player experience. While not every improvement is flashy on its own, each step helps make the game smoother, clearer, and more ready for everyone who enters the Carnival.🫡
Some of the recent work includes improvements and fixes for player profiles, gears, custom lobbies, controller support, lobby behavior, gameplay menus, and several stability issues. The team has also been working on optimization, balance adjustments, UI improvements, and general polish across different areas of the game.
We do not want to go too deep into every balance change or gameplay adjustment just yet, as some things may still change before Early Access. However, the overall focus is clear: improving the player experience, polishing core systems, fixing issues, and making sure Carnival Hunt is in a stronger state for launch.
The Steam page has also been updated with new screenshots, including screenshots from winners of our past community event. We love seeing the community participate and help shape how Carnival Hunt is presented to new players.
Early Access is getting closer, and while we are not rushing the process, the team is actively preparing for the next big step. Right now, the focus is on making the Steam Early Access launch as smooth as possible. We do not have console release details to share just yet, but we know many of you are interested, and we will share more when the time is right. Something important is also coming soon.
