KELBI EVENT STATUS
The Kelbi event announcement is coming within the next few days, stay tuned!
STAFF HIRING STATUS
We're planning to send out email responses to promising applicants within the next week or two in order to begin the onboarding process. Thank you for your patience!
AVIAR COVE BALANCING UPDATE
The planned Aviar Cove balancing update will come with an additional sizeable potato sink content drop as well to help offset inflation! Here is our current progress on it:
Art Assets: 50%
Quest Adjustments: 25%
Inputting/Testing: 10%
FUTURE CONTENT/EVENT PLANS
We've taken a look at our current set of goals and after a good deal of discussion, here are our plans in regards to upcoming events and content drops!
For the next few months, we're going to focus more on upcoming permanent content updates such as balancing updates, potato sinks, and new permanent content in order to bring the base game to the state that we want it to be.
We realized that over time, large scale events had become more and more elaborate as our ambition for the creative side of things grew, thus requiring more assets, writing, and overall time spent preparing each event. While it was a great deal of fun and we're proud of our community and progress, we've realized that the time spent preparing events consumes too much of our work schedule and we want to rework how we approach future events.
The remaining deity events will still happen at some point, but first we're going to spend some efforts to update the game with more permanent content. We'd also eventually like to hold some more large scale events that introduce new permanent content like we did with the Witches' War previously. Thanks for reading our thoughts and decisions on this aspect of Dappervolk's development!
TRADES MARKET UPDATES
We're now working on designing the Trades Market revamp, Pet Accessory market, and Customs market with focus on player feedback and ease of use. We're working on all three at the same time since all three will use a similar trades market system.
This will take some time to launch but we think it will improve the game experience greatly as well as make it much easier for users to get into things like pet accessories and customs trading. The trades market revamp will allow for much easier trade listing as well as system adjustments that fit our community's needs better.
As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!
