Needs a lot of polishing...
I was enjoying how sadistic the game was but it just was missing an awful lot.
It really annoyed me how you spend most of the game killing one deer and then just buying upgrades. You should make each of the stages considerably longer.
There was a lot elsewhere to be looked into, just like layering problems with certain graphics, i.e. the scope going on top of the 'press s' thing.
Otherwise you've got the foundation of a pretty nice game.
Uh, no
Last time I checked, bullets can out-run deer. Bullets have almost instant travel time compared to deer. So, if I shoot at a deer directly under my cross-hairs, why is the deer able to out-run the bullets? Are these $6 million dollar man Steve Austin deer? I don't hear the "shanananana" sound effect when they run, so I assume no. And yet, they're either eating 2-3 shotgun rounds (without breaking stride, which is unbeleivable, since any kind of injury would cause some kind of break in stride), or the shots are just flat-out missing for some reason.
Ok, the reason I'm being a sarcastic asshole here, is because you have this ironic dichotomy. You attempted to make a realistic deer-hunting simulator, but the shooting is so unrealistic it's like a farce. Hence the irony and frustration.
the deer are not outrunning the bullets, you are just not hitting it. there is absolutely zero delay in the bullet, unlike in real life where there is a delay, especially at like 100yards away. what is most likely happening is when the deer is running, it moves up and down, you have to hit him in the body. Also the bullets will hit lower with range. so if a deer is at top, the bullet will hit lower than a deer right in front of you at the bottom. you have to account for this. when you get the upgrades, like a longer barrel, it will shoot a lot more accurate. as the scope sight helps. pay attention to the dust on a miss, it will show you exactly where it hit. i may add target practice later so you guys can practice. i admit i did not put anything in to simulate when the deer gets hit it slows them down. i may add that. but i also want to point out i never said this was a deer hunting simulator, just that it had realistic shooting with distance and weapon accuracy.
Very Dissappointed with the scoring system
I'm Caveman1974's wife and I too am upset with how the scoring is done. There seems to be a mistake in the scoring system that no one wants to address. Your point system goes as follows. Doe kills 50 points, Buck kills 150, Big Bucks 500, head shot 50, kill zone 25, running shot 100. Still for all when either a buck or a big buck is killed as a running shot we are losing out on 50 points. Example: Big Buck 500 points and Running shot is 100 that should be 600 points and it's only giving us 550. Why is this?
Why have you not corrected this or responded to my husband's comment or reviews? Please respond a.s.a.p.

Frustrating.
Sometimes I hit the sucker dead on and it won't hit. I'd like some actual cross hairs, it is very hard to aim and pressing S does nothing, the space bar doesn't work eather. Once you fix this, it might be fun.
you have to upgrade to the scope to be able to switch sights. real guns dont have cross hairs unless you have a scope. you can only reload when your out of ammo. if you were i can look into a bug.
