Reading the title of this post, I can only imagine the different reactions that are going off in people's minds. But yes, the much loved Spring Valley is finally getting a makeover. The general censuses of Spring Valley, is that the blood pay is pretty good, but people just hate how often those pesky humans with their plasma launches get a shot in before you can open your mouth and say "hold on there matey". I have spent some time making it less painful.

Spring Valley Updates
The changes that have been made to Spring Valley today are as follows.- New House Images - I have decided to keep the old ones, but there are also new house images thrown into the mix.
- More Houses - Before there was 2 rows of houses, with a cathedral at the end. Now it goes a little deeper, with more houses after the cathedral, and something else at the end of those.
- Cathedral - The cathedral now has a permanent bloody use.
- New Way To Browse - Before you were given a list of all the houses. Now I've made it so it feels more like you're walking through Spring Valley, where you can pick off houses as you pass them by.
- Quick Options - You can still click on the houses to enter them as before, but I've also added a quick drop down menu when outside the house, to make your hunting faster.
- Customisable Default - With the quick option above, there is a settings page on Spring Valley which allows you to set the default of which action to take while outside the house.
- 2 New Hunt Options - Before you had sneak in, walk in, and run in. Now there are 2 more.
- More Stamina - You gain Stamina the same way as before, being located in Spring Valley whilst alive. But the potion shop has been updated, and they pay out more with each purchase. A shortcut to use your Spring Valley Trik's potions is also available there.
- Pesky Humans - Reduced chance of getting caught by
25%35%. - Empty? - Reduced change of finding an empty house by
25%35%. - Multiple Stamina - To make Spring Valley slightly less time consuming for those who want it to be, there is now a 2x option. Which uses twice the stamina, for x1.8 of the reward. There is also a VIP option for x3, and a VIP+ option for x4. Full information and payouts are explained on the Spring Valley's Help/Guide page.
- Speed? - It now tells you how much speed you need to have to hunt certain houses.
- Layout - The overall layout has been updated and improved quite a bit.
Updated:
I have made a couple more tweaks included with the above after 18 hours of watching people play Spring Valley. Here they are:- Fixed a bug that wasn't applying the the 25% less chance getting caught and finding empty houses. And reduced it a little further again.
- Shortcut at the bottom to get back quickly to house #1.
- Information and services section now appears when you're dead.
- Hunting skill now multiples with the stamina multiplier.
- Shortcut link to VIP heal when you're dead.
- Your stats section added to top hunters page & formatted the page better.
- Fixed a few typos.
Thanks for all the feedback so far, keep it coming.
