Hello all, we are pleased to announce our newest Dev Update for the month of August! Our team has been busy getting prepared for the Alpha launch which is scheduled for this fall, so we wanted to share some important news regarding our status for the coming months.
What’s New?
- Patreon Update
- Mole Market
- Site Redesign
Patreon Update
Now that Lorwolf is nearing the testing phase, we will be removing the alpha and beta key rewards from our Patreon tiers starting tomorrow, August 6th. With over 500 keys sold, we have more than enough testers for alpha and beta! We will keep the Pup and Wolf tiers open (and add some new tiers/rewards) so those interested can still support Lorwolf and see our progress behind-the-scenes.
Patreon helps us pay our monthly software, server, and utility fees so we can continue working on creating Lorwolf. A super special thank you to all of our Patrons who have helped us so far, your contribution has made all of this possible!
We will also be hosting another Giveaway between now and the Alpha launch so there will be another opportunity to receive a free key and tester companion if you haven’t yet!
Mole Market
We plan on filling Lorwolf with friendly NPCs that will run various shops throughout the site, such as in the Marketplace and in the Crafting area. We are excited to announce Lorwolf’s first NPC, your friendly neighborhood shopkeeper and collector extraordinaire, Marvin the Mole!
Marvin will be in charge of the Mole Market - a place where players can purchase items in exchange for gold or gems. These items are spawned into the shop randomly at a rate determined by their rarity. Common items will show up frequently while Legendary goods will only appear once in a blue moon.
The Mole Market will reset after several hours and restock the shelves with new, randomly generated items. This shop is also unique for each individual player; the items that show up in one player’s shop will be different from the items that show up in someone else’s shop. As such, no one has access to another’s Mole Market. Our hope is to avoid any sniping issues that give an unfair advantage to advanced players, and provide a stable source of randomized goods for everyone to enjoy. Please let us know what you think of Marvin the Mole and his Market!
Site Redesign
The Lorwolf site has gone through many iterations over the past year. We have spent a lot of time tinkering with its overall functionality and accessibility. Thanks to your suggestions and helpful feedback, we were able to create a design that we hope reduces some of the eye strain issues and more appropriately suits the Lorwolf brand.
