DAPPERVOLK'S 3RD ANNIVERSARY
June 21st is our third anniversary, time sure flies when things are afoot! We're planning some small festivities and fun new content for everyone to celebrate with, thanks so much for playing and supporting Dappervolk! We're looking forward to many years to come.

KELBI EVENT PROGRESS
While our Carnival merrily rolls on, here's a peek at our current progress on the upcoming Kelbi event: 
Art Assets: 65%
Writing: 75%
Coding: 80%

We're planning to launch this event relatively soon after the Carnival and Anniversary are over.

CUSTOM QUEUE STATUS
Due to some workload and scheduling considerations this month, we needed to move the current custom batch to be completed early June instead of in May. This current batch should be completed within the next few days, and then we're back on schedule with mid month deadlines barring any future workload conflicts! Thanks for your patience on this.

STAFF RECRUITMENT PLANS
We're preparing to begin our staff recruitment process to bring Event & Community Managers and Jr. Moderators into our team some time mid month. We're looking forward to continuing to build our staff team and strengthen our overall efficiency and sense of community!

wintercarnival.png
The Carnival, also dubbed the Winter Carnival will be a seasonally
occuring town during the winter months of each year.

This year is the first time this carnival has appeared, and
the climate is quite abnormal for it. Visitors theorize
this to be due to the ever snowy climate of the north.

EVENT PROGRESS
We're working steadily on both the Winter and the Kelbi event, some more detailed progress was outlined in our previous news post. Our plan is to aim to start the Winter Event some time mid April, so we'll have more news for you on that as soon as we're ready. The Kelbi event will follow relatively soon after the Winter event ends!

Though our event progress is late, we're confident that the stories and lore will not feel out of place, and we're excitedly hoping to finish creating storylines for all 12 of our deities by early 2024. Dappervolk's world and lore is intrinsically tied to the deities and how NPCs view them, which is why so much emphasis is placed on them currently. Creating stories for the Deities with events does a vital job of expanding the world lore.

STAFF HIRING PLANS
We'll be releasing our staff recruitment post some time during the coming event when we have an activity boost!

QOL UPDATES
We're working on some more QoL Updates and bug fixes which we'll be releasing in changelogs through the month.
