• Every month, Pai and Oran from Peddler's Port will have different sets of items in their shops that will retire at the end of the month to be replaced by new stock.
• These items are obtained from far away lands and follow the theme of the land they visited each month.
• All retired items from Monthly Shops will eventually be able to be obtained very rarely from Grandma Agnes later on.
  

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Here's a look into what we're currently prioritizing, among other smaller bug and QoL fixes!

CUSTOM MAKER SUBMISSION
We are prioritizing our custom maker launch fully now after the Winter Event. Read our FAQ and Submission Rules here! We'll be doing our utmost to ensure a smooth launch as well as prioritizing our Kickstarter backers who pledged for the custom maker tiers.

VAER REEF QUEST UPDATE
As the Winter Event is now over, we're continuing forward with remaining adjustments and the affection milestone side quests for Vaer Reef!

KICKSTARTER DESIGNER CONTENT
Since the end of the Kickstarter before Beta, we've been in touch with our Designer Tier backers and have been slowly working with them in the background. Some opted to wait until launch to finalize their designs and some are still in the process of decision making, but we're slowly building up batches of completed content which will be added to the site periodically as things are completed! We're excited to showcase what our backers have come up with with the rest of the community. Designer Backed content (ie. Items, pets etc) will contain written credit in the form of the backer's username and ID.

BALANCING & CHANGELOGS
We've been working on a number of balancing plans and changelogs, including the following:

• A roadmap for extensive adjustments to improve the game's flow and sense of reward, as well as boosting play longevity. This would include adjustments to daily quests, certain story quest requirements, and other QoL and content improvements. This is something in our priority list that may take some time as it requires a great deal of care put into balancing.
• A changelog outlining a summary of every update/fix that occurred during closed development after Beta Testing ended.
  

Here are some plans for improvements for future events like this that we've accumulated from hosting this event!

• For the sake of future gifting events, we'll be working on balancing item rarity better across the site.
• We’ll be looking into the rarity matching of gift donations vs. claims to see if we can equalize the system better.
• We’ll be adjusting Pai’s daily quest “Perusing the Constellation Library” to have a better indication of unlock progress on the final quest. For future quests with this style of unlock, the progress will also be shown more clearly.
• We’ll be looking into adjusting the layout of the Winter Tree so that less scrolling is required to see the main content.
• We’ll be adding easier tracking of the event currencies in the winter tree.
• We’ll be improving on our contest threads that we tried out this event in order to make the experience better.
  

Our next event is going to be a Spring Event! Before that, we will be working on launching a number of other updates which we'll be posting more info about soon.

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Here's a look into what we're currently prioritizing, among other smaller bug and QoL fixes!

UPCOMING WINTER FESTIVITIES
Our first winter event is coming soon on March 4th! Check out the Teaser News Post here.


CUSTOM MAKER SUBMISSION
We've nearly finished preparation for our custom maker submission, thank you for your patience! We'll be announcing at least a week prior to the opening time so everyone is prepared. Read our FAQ and Submission Rules here.

VAER REEF QUEST UPDATE
After we finalize preparations and work on the winter event quests, we'll be continuing forward with remaining adjustments and the affection milestone side quests for Vaer Reef!

Here is a quick overview of what the event will include...

The Present Tree with Agnes
An event page with a gift exchange tree, tasks to help wrap presents, and additional prizes for donation milestones!

Winter Event Questline
There will be a series of quests which include a seasonal daily quest that take you through February's deity lore!

Earning Event Currency
Event currency will be earned through the various event features, quests, and threads as well as through site mechanics! Details on this will come with the main event news post update when it begins.

Agnes' Seasonal Winter Shop
A seasonal event shop that accepts event currency items will open 3 days after the start of the event. The 3-day delay is to give staff some time to gauge player activity and how much currency is generated in this new event type - in this way, we can better balance the event shop pricing for everyone! The shop will remain open for a few extra days after the end of the event as well to allow time for purchases.

Winter Festivities Contest Threads
We'll be hosting a few small contest threads including a mini Creativity Prompt thread, Avatar Dress-up contest, and Present Bauble Decoration!

Hello everyone! We hope you had a cozy January. We're back with a new update for February 2021!  Our Peddler's Port adventurers come with gifts from a mystical land.
Full Item Previews now Available!

What are Monthly Shops?

• Every month, Pai and Oran from Peddler's Port will have different sets of 8 items in their shops that will retire at the end of the month to be replaced by new stock.
• These items are obtained from far away lands and follow the theme of the land they visited each month.
• All retired items from Monthly Shops will eventually be able to be obtained very rarely from Grandma Agnes later on.

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Here's a look into what we're currently prioritizing, among other smaller bug and QoL fixes!

WINTER FESTIVITIES
We're working hard on coding, quest writing, art assets, and planning for the winter event to take place some time in February! As a small hint, the winter event mechanics this year revolve around the act of giving and receiving. We'll have more details for you before the event begins!

VAER REEF QUEST UPDATE
We're still working on revisions for the story quests and affection side quests in Vaer Reef, the writing priority has temporarily shifted to the winter event quests but we'll be prioritizing this again once the event quests are complete.

CUSTOM MAKER SUBMISSION
We're still finetuning the adjustments to the system for custom pets and clothing, we want to make sure the process is as smooth as possible for both users and art staff once this feature is launched. Due to the winter event currently taking precedent, we're hoping to launch submission in either February or relatively soon after that in March. Thank you very much for your patience!

ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS CONTENT
We're working on adding additional content to different parts of the game for variety, this includes additional alchemy recolours for existing items, new items and recipes to various parts of the site, new pets, and lots more. The ways to obtain these items and pets will become clear once we start to push them out in the coming months.

With each new permanent clothing item update, we'll also be working on outline adjustments for existing site items to be pushed along with them.

PLANNED BALANCING & ADJUSTMENTS
In the background, we've been working on planning out some extensive adjustments to improve the game's flow and sense of reward, as well as boosting play longevity. This will consist of adjustments to multiple parts of the site such as quests, user experience/interface, content variety, and other mechanic updates.

Once our plans are ready to be announced, we'll update everyone with a roadmap of the series of updates we'll be rolling out. This is something in our priority list that may take some time as it requires very careful planning, we're looking forward to continuously improving the game!

COMMUNICATION ORGANIZATION
Recently, we made a changelog post about communication here. It covers our current policies, areas we've improved on, and areas we'd like to improve on for communication. Going forward, we'll also be taking a look at how to streamline our different channels of communication (news posts, changelogs, status posts) so that the userbase is fully informed more easily.

MAIN STORYLINE CONTINUATION
Along with everything else, we've been working on and planning the next town's content in the background. The release of a new town is still a ways off, but we'll keep you posted on its progress as we work. Since we're in our first year of Dappervolk, there are still some very important core features and gameplay updates we have to do, which is why some content updates were pushed back. Once things begin to iron out more, we'll be able to dedicate more time to content updates like this to move the storyline forward!
