Devlog #7 | Into the Wild

Time to hit the wild side of Vanlife.

From wild animals to new camping gear and hidden caves, we are working to bring you a whole new reason to pack your van and head out there.

Wildlife & Hunting

We’ve finally brought animals into the world — some friendly, some not so much. You might spot deer, rabbits... or find yourself a little too close to a bear cave.

You’ll be able to take on hunting missions, explore danger zones, and defend yourself with melee or ranged weapons. But remember, not everything out there is about survival — sometimes, it’s just about the view.

📸 If hunting isn’t your style, grab your tablet / camera instead. You can now photograph animals and post your best shots on Vander, our in-game social media app, to gain followers and even earn money.

Camping Got an Upgrade

Camping is now a full experience — not just a rest stop.

• Build a campfire, cook your food, or just relax by the flames.

• Try out the new BBQ tools, listen to your radio, and enjoy a proper night under the stars.

• Set up camp anywhere you like — and make it feel like home.

The World Feels Alive

We’ve added hidden bear caves, wild encounters, and small surprises to make exploration more meaningful. Every trip can lead to something new — a scenic photo spot, a lost item, or a story waiting to unfold.

We’re super excited to see how you’ll explore all of this once the demo goes live. YES DEMO IS COMING SO SOON!

We will keep you posted!

Stay tuned, and keep the engine running.
