Unfortunately, we have no positive news to share.We had conversations with several potential investors, but unfortunately no agreement could be reached. With one investor, we had great hope — everything was practically settled. Sadly, this investor has not responded in about a week now, leaving us with no other choice.The corresponding ticket has already been submitted to Steam, and the discontinuation of the sale has been confirmed.Since the game is currently still part of a sale, the listing can only be closed once that sale ends. The game will therefore be officially discontinued on August

Quick reminder: There's still 60% off right now – you can get the game for about $11, until July 9th.The UE4 Version Is BackMany of you have asked for the old Unreal Engine 4 version to return – mainly because of the map, and I completely understand that. Everything else, especially multiplayer, was noticeably worse back then. Still, I wanted to give you the chance to see for yourselves what the game looked like at that point in time.How to activate the UE4 version:Right-click the game in your Steam library → PropertiesGo to the "Betas" tab → select the "ue4-old" branchThe download will start

Unfortunately, I don’t have good news for you in this post. The past few months have already been very tight financially, and the situation has not improved. Up until now, I managed to get by somehow, but I have finally reached a point where it is simply impossible to keep going.Therefore, the development of Gold Hunter will be discontinued with immediate effect.It is no longer financially viable for me to continue developing the game. To give you some context regarding the numbers: over the last few months, the revenue was only in the mid-three-figure range. I think this makes it clear why th

In our last post, we shared the first exciting details about our upcoming Character System.Today, we’re taking it even further. We are thrilled to announce that Voxel 2.0 is officially coming to the game! To make this possible, we are currently upgrading our foundation to Unreal Engine 5.7.4.As many of you know, an engine jump of this scale always brings its challenges, but we are working hard to smooth out every wrinkle and ensure a stable experience. One Giant Leap: The Major UpdateInstead of releasing these features in small bits, we’ve decided to bundle everything into one massive Major Up

The current character system we have already for few years and it´s getting harder to fix or improve features for this. The reason for that is simple, it was made years ago, other experience since the start and now it´s time for a fresh character system.With the new character system, which already in progress, you have a lot of more functions and details.Now i wanna share some details of the upcoming character system with you.No more camera shakingSmoother transitions between camerasBetter performanceAwesome quality and details of charactersMore character presetsChange clothesMore animations f

The new year has already started and we are planning many more updates for this year. These updates will include bug fixes and new content.Like all of you, we are also following the development and status of Gold Hunter. We have noticed that things are progressing much more slowly than we had perhaps imagined.Due to the fact that I am now only doing this on my own, there are simply delays.But now you would say, yes, then get support and more developers into the team.Theoretically that would be possible, but of course the developers also want to be paid and unfortunately this is not feasible at
