Well done.

I can't comment on how you treat your employees *cough Rockstar, Telltale et al*, but from a customer perspective Hinterland is a shining gem in a sea of rancid dog vomit when it comes to responsible game development.  You could have easily cranked out Wintermute and turned off the proverbial sandbox tap, then started pumping out DLC like virtually every other developer on the planet, leaving even your most rabid fanboy with a mild bile taste in his or her mouth.  Instead you choose the responsible route, valuing your customers as human beings, partners in your business if you will, as well as demonstrating a work ethic and pride in your product we rarely, if ever, see anymore in this industry.

Thank you Hinterland.  Thank you for re-instilling a small measure of faith in humanity.

I still haven't started on my story mode redux play threw because I'm not supposed to play video games on the week but as its Friday that will no longer be a problem will it.

Sadly, there's still a number of objects floating in mid air at the Muskeg Overlook and approaches to it.

In particular I found floating at various heights off the ground ... a deer carcass, a stick, several stones and rocks, 3 pieces of cedar, and a couple of other items.

Not urgent issues as they can still be interacted with / harvested.
