Welcome to May!

Hello everyone! Welcome to May, we hope you had a cozy time and are looking forward to the bustle of the new month!
Our eleventh month of limited shops has arrived:
May's theme is the Orchard Historian!

With the fluttering of spring blooms, a lilting melody sounds in the air.
Clear placid waters reflect a floral canopy set ablaze by the sunlight.
Those with knowledge of the past commune and sing praises in the
form of prose, a gathering place of travelling scholars.

What are Monthly Shops?
- 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.
How can I get to Peddler's Port?
Peddler's Port is a seaside location that you can unlock by going through the main storyline in Louise Hill. Once unlocked, you can visit Peddler's Port any time without using up a town hop!

Agnes' Perpetual Shop
Agnes' shop stocks a chest that contains a set of Pai's 8 shop items for 1500 Turnips, ideal for collectors who want a full set at a small discount. Agnes also has a Bonus Prize function in her shop. For every 2000 turnips you spend in her shop from now on, you'll be able to claim from her Bonus Prize pool, which will fluctuate and grow with time.

Here's a look into what we're currently prioritizing, among other smaller bug and QoL fixes!
CUSTOM MAKER SUBMISSION
The custom maker submission queue will be open on:
MAY 7TH, 2021 AT 1AM DVT
We'll be posting a news post about the custom queue with its launch.
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. Read our FAQ for submission instructions if you are a Custom Maker Kickstarter backer.
SPRING EVENT
Our team is hard at work on the upcoming spring event which will most likely take place some time this month! We are planning on a series of quests and seasonal content, a revamped version of the 2020 Summer Event (the summer event this year will be a new event type!), various contests and other goodies!
NEW UPCOMING CONTENT
We have a lineup of new content coming this month, including but not limited to:
- A first batch of Kickstarter Backer designed content.
- Some items with new functionalities added to Agnes' Perpetual Shop.
- A new batch of outline updates on existing items.
LOUISE HILL RIDDLE CONTEST RESULTS
We've been dedicating bits of time in our schedule as much as we can to finishing the contest judging and the entries are almost fully judged now, we'll be rolling prizes and announcing winners some time this month. To apologize for the wait, we'll be coming up with some extra prizes or other bonuses to be announced with the winners news post. Thank you for your patience all this time!
For any future riddle contests, we'll be making sure to judge entries as they come in so that results can be announced quickly after the contest ends. This contest was unfortunately tangled up in our early post-site launch work load.
BALANCING & CHANGELOGS
Coming up is a changelog outlining a summary of every update/fix that occurred during closed development after Beta Testing ended. This task has been on our list for a while, but other updates and tasks affecting the current state of the site had higher priority. We'll be rolling out this changelog once we can dedicate some time into compiling it.



As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!
