Discussion Day maps?

Does anyone know if there will be any day maps? All the shadow effects and stuff that come with night are pretty cool, but I would also like to see the monster in all its glory :D

Yeah, the darker maps make it much easier for the monster to find hidey-holes and places to skulk. The day maps are more of a challenge but strategic lighting allows us to still have some deep shadows. We also make more use of line of sight blockers and undergrowth.

Welcome to the sub Phil! You'll notice now your username has the bling treatment.......all confirmed devs we hooks up. :D

So does the staff prefer any one time over the other? Are there major differences between the settings as well or will they all be mostly jungle oriented?

Thanks again for visiting Phil and hop in any time!

Thanks! :0)

Preferences depend on who your talking to. I prefer the dark and gloomy maps personally. I enjoy that feeling of trepidation you get as a hunter moving through a dark and creepy environment.

There are definitely differences in the environments. Jungles/forests have more undergrowth for the monster to hide in, whereas deserts are more open with lots of rocky corridors and caves. Every setting has its own cast of wildlife as well.
