Warm greetings and sunny day to all you adventurers out there!
It is happening again.... the spring... and Steam Spring sale! So grab your skis, find a nearest village deep in the backwoods, and use your precious squirrel hides to make a good trade, Err, wait, that's how it might go in UnReal World... in the real world just add UnReal World in your shopping cart for a decently discounted spring sale price and then experience the former along with tons of other things.

Skiing is something that UnReal World devs actually like to do in real life too. It's especially rewarding way to roam the forests during the snow crust - which is a springtime phenomena where surface of the snowpack becomes so hard that it can completely support a walking or skiing person - and some animals as well. The crust results from partial melting of the snow surface by warm spring day sunlight followed by re-freezing when the temperature drops again, usually after the sunset.
The crust normally only lasts for part of the day, but being able to travel on snow without sinking in there at all is a great asset for a hunter.
Elks were traditionally hunted on skis during crust as it can't support the heavy animals and hunter gliding on skis eventually became faster than their fatiguing prey.
If you are new to UnReal World now let me reveal that these snow crust mechanics and are actually modelled in the game making the said hunting method and many other wintertime scenarios possible in the Far North where the game takes place.
Among with tons of other things.
Hmm. Did I already say that.
UnReal World was first released in 1992, has been 33 years in the making and there's no end in sight.
And before all the spring snow melts we'll be releasing yet another fresh patch as UnReal World version 3.86 is expected to reach beta stage this very month.
Welcome aboard! ːurw_sageː
