Dev Diary #1 — The Story Behind PROJECT HUNT

Hello hunters, 🙂

I’m the developer of PROJECT HUNT. Thank you for playing, leaving feedback, and supporting the game.

Who I am

I’ve been making games for about 20 years, primarily with C++ and Unreal Engine. I previously worked at Ubisoft, and I also worked on DLCs for theHunter: Call of the Wild.

PROJECT HUNT has been in development for three years. For most of that time, I built it alongside my full-time job, working nights, weekends, and any spare time I had. Recently, I made the decision to transition into full-time development on the project. 🙂

I’m building PROJECT HUNT as a solo developer - design, code, content, and updates. 😅

Why I started PROJECT HUNT

I love hunting games, and I really respect how many of them focus on realism. With PROJECT HUNT, I wanted to create something different, more focused on gunplay and the joy of shooting. 🎯

My goal was to make every hunt feel satisfying, whether you play for 30 minutes or three hours—with clear feedback, strong impact, and those moments where you instantly think, “That was a great shot.”

Immersion still matters, but my priority is a moment-to-moment experience that feels fun, responsive, and rewarding.

What I’m focusing on next

• New content over time (more animals / more regions) 🐾

• Progression & trophy features 🏆

• Quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes 🛠️

Tell me what you want most

If you could pick ONE top priority, what would it be? 🙂 More animals? More weapons/scopes? A new map? More trophy features? Or quality-of-life?

Leave your answer in the comments. I read them and use them to plan updates. 💬🙂

A small favor (it helps a lot!)

If you’re having fun with the game, please consider leaving a Steam review. It genuinely helps an indie project like this more than you might think. 🙏🙂

And if you get a great hunt, please share your trophy shots on the Steam Community or our Discord—it’s always fun to see what everyone is hunting and to share tips with each other. 🏆📸🙂
