When we weren’t doing everything else, we were thinking about stuff like this
MOD
A Short Hike 99 bit.ly/shorthike99A rare upside to April Fool’s Day. Originally planned as a joke –a multiplayer battleroyale mode being about as far from A Short Hike’s relaxed charms as you could imagine – developer Adam Robinson-Yu instead opted to make it for real. For anyone fearing a good walk spoiled, though, don’t worry: the battle royale inspiration only stretches as far as the name. Rather, the mod just makes it possible for dozens of Claires to share Hawk Peak in peace. Potential activities include stacking on top of one another’s heads and seeing how the game’s physics handle more birds than they were ever designed for. Robinson-Yu has said he’s only intending to keep the servers live for two weeks but, given the option to run your own server, it should still be possible to take a hike with a few feathered friends.
