NEW AD THEATER PLAYER DEBUGGING
We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all of your bug reports and testing of our new Ad Theater video player! We're working on the last few bugs and adjustments now and will have a changelog update for you some time next week. For all updates and details surrounding the new player's status, visit our Report Thread. You can also post any new bugs or console logs you find there.

 
MID-MONTH CONTENT UPDATES
It's our plan to do small content updates in the middle of months in which there isn't a larger scale event going on or another large update planned, this means that this will be one of these months. We hope you enjoy what we have in store!

3'S FOREST BALANCING
Our team is working hard on art assets, planning and testing the daily quest balancing edits for 3's Forest. The update may be ready either late this month or some time next month!

SUMMER TEAM EVENT
We're working on mapping out our new team-based event type for the summer event. Our artists and writers are also working on the storyline and assets! We're planning for this event to start some time in late August to give our team enough time to prepare the brand new non-deity related event type. More updates on this will arrive as we progress!

AD THEATER VIDEO PLAYER
Our Ad Provider is deprecating the current ad video player in favour of one they've developed themselves in early July. We're planning to change over to the new player in the next couple of days, this means that there may be some potential bugginess in the beginning. If there ends up being any bugs that affect user streaks or ad watching progress site-wide, we'll be sure to compensate our ad watching community for it by restoring streaks.

BETA CHANGELOG & ROADMAP THREAD
Now that we've completed some larger milestones that we had prioritized, we'll be working on getting these two items ready at a higher priority.
Here's a small list of some long term goals that will be outlined in our future Roadmap thread:

• Daily Quest balancing for each town in succession
• Pet Accessory & Customs Marketplaces
• Guild Rework/Updates
• Sitewide Raffle System
• New permanent towns and storylines
• Housing
  

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

UI IMPROVEMENTS
We're planning to make changes to the event page UI in order to make it much easier to understand. Here are some of the changes we have planned:

• We'll be moving certain information and grouping it in a more coherent manner. The amount of satchels in your inventory will be shown under the donate button, the pet blessing timer will be added into the pet interaction section. Certain areas of text will be modified to be more clear.
• We'll be moving the contribute section above the track record section. Displaying the "your points" and "your tasks" tabs side by side will make spacing more compact for less scrolling, as well as make this section more readily available.
• We'll be adding a progress bar under pet images for blessed pets to show how far their blessings are from being collectable.
• We'll be moving personal tier milestone details above community milestone details and making all of the tier info more compact for less scrolling.
  

MECHANIC IMPROVEMENTS

• We're planning to have it so that different tasks can have different point values so that more difficult tasks can accordingly receive more points.
• We'll be looking at the item donation system and working on more clarity and balance.
• We're planning to balance the community and personal milestones more evenly next year now that we've tried out the revamped system this year.
• A few added mechanics such as "bless a pet" as a tracked task type, and additional daily donation rewards could be fun additions.
• We're planning to look at the "visit random pet" system to see if we can make pet blessings feel less random and more efficient for recipients, such as prioritizing random active pets instead of just any pet.
  

Our next event is going to be a Summer Event some time in August with a brand new team based event type, with an unconventional non-deity based storyline!

• The quest is repeatable once a day, and you can choose a parcel of presents each day.
• After 7 days, you can unlock an additional quest to attend the Masquerade within the Festive Breeze quest.
• After you attend the masquerade, you can continue repeating the Festive Breeze quest for smaller rewards until the end of the Anniversary festivities on July 5th, 11:59PM DVT!
  

Anniversary items can be obtained in the following ways:

• Anniversary Daily Quest: "A Festive Breeze"
• Anniversary Single Quest: "The Masquerade Night"
• Agnes' Daily Gift Quest
• Officiator's Official Token Exchange Quest
• Random Events
  

The following updates have been applied to all Louise Hill Daily Errands.

• Maximum completions for each daily quest in Louise Hill have gone from 7 to 3.
• A reroll option with the player choice text "Can I help you with something else instead?" has been added to the beginning of each task.
  
  • This option can be used once per quest completion to generate a new task different from the initial one.
    
  
  
• Tasks have been either edited or scaled according to the reduced number of dailies each day. Some higher effort tasks such as adventuring have stayed the same for better balancing.
• Positive quest ending potato rewards were greatly increased.
• Affection gained or lost has been multiplied to be equal to doing 7 quests previously.
• Conecake rewards are now multiplied and increased.
• Dual-stat NPC's now give out a random assortment of the two types of conecakes instead of a set kind.
• Dialogue has been compressed to fewer total text boxes to lessen clicks.
• Transitions and redirects have been updated to be more streamlined and give users more freedom.
  

A total of 83 new items have been released!
New items have arrived in each NPC's chance shop, the following shop stock adjustments have been made:

• A Bonus Prize pool with claims costing an equivalent of 10 spins has been added to each NPC's shop.
• Totems, Pen Expansions, and Wardrobe Expansions, have been moved to each NPC's Bonus Prize pool in their shop instead of being in the chance pool.
• 1-2 newly drawn items have been added to each NPC's clothing set, each item with colourations matching that of the existing sets.
• An additional 4th set colour has been added for each NPC, and can be found in their chance shop stock as well as bonus prizes.
• Pet Hatching items and NPC food have been added to the bonus prize pool as well while keeping them in the chance pool.
  

The following non-general changes and additions have been applied to the NPC's below:

• Bearnard's errands have stayed mostly the same besides some amount scaling where applicable, with the addition of interacting with your turnipling while showing him your pet.
• Bearnard has gained a spade and turnip field background to his collection of items, as well as a golden coloured set.
  

• Buli's errands have been scaled, with the addition of some pet interation and a new alchemy task since she only had 3 tasks before.
• Buli has gained a new hair bow item and opal coloured set in her shop.
• The account bound Quickened Turnip hatching item has also been added to her bonus claim for anyone wanting additional Quickened Turniplings after obtaining their first one.
  

• Calbet's errands have been scaled with hand in item pools expanded where possible. His new hair task has been adjusted to include some minigame plays.
• Calbet has gained new eyes and training field background items in his collection, with the addition of an obsidian coloured set.
  

• Farmhand's errands have been scaled somewhat, with the addition of a new alchemy task since he only had 3 different tasks previously.
• Farmhand has gained a new pair of pants and a definitely non-magical study background in his collection, with the addition of a cosmic coloured new set.
  

• Lilia's errands have been scaled, with her avatar dress-up task being changed to a different clothing collection task.
• Lilia has gained a new pinstripe shirt and an eyes item in her collection, with the addition of a midnight coloured set.
  

• Fantasia's errands have been scaled, with the Lilia armour task being changed to a different material collection task.
• Fantasia has gained a new sword and eyes items in their collection, with the addition of a silver coloured set.
  

• This is the first major installment of daily quest balancing that we have planned. We're planning to release these updates town by town in order to eventually balance all existing towns.
• With the addition of new items as well as bonus prize pools for NPC shops, we're aiming to make it so that certain items are obtained by choice rather than by chance. For example, the pen expansions were being dropped too often and filling up inventories without any purpose, now they can be picked up only if the user wants one.
• In addition, the bonus prize and shop stock updates have opened the possibility of adding new items more easily to NPC shops in the future within smaller content updates.
• We'll be looking at how everything plays out on site scale and making any adjustments and notes for future updates!
• Coming up next is the 3's Forest daily balancing, which will include a rebalancing of the 3 witches' temporary dailies within the main questline.
• It's our hope that these balancing updates will make one of the core mechanics of Dappervolk more streamlined, less click intensive, less repetitive, as well as giving users some agency via the reroll option.
