Happy Saturday everyone, we have some bittersweet news to share with you: the Lorwolf beta test will officially close on Sunday, May 29 at 12:00 AM LW Server Time! We want to give a huge thank you to all of our testers for dedicating their time to Lorwolf over the past two months. We’ve gathered oodles of data and helpful feedback which will help us make the game even better than before. We could not have done this without all of you, so thank you <3

Testers, we’ve created a survey to gather your final thoughts and overall opinions of the game. This survey will remain open until Saturday, June 4, so feel free to complete it at your leisure. The link to this survey can be found in private Beta Discord and Kickstarter posts.

Once the test closes, we will be wiping all game data from the server, excluding Usernames and IDs. Testers will be able to log back in to their account as soon as Lorwolf officially launches. All item redemption codes can be used again, and any premium currency purchases will be credited to your account. We will also be locking the Beta Discord server from any future communication, but will keep it saved so that we can go back and reference it if needed.

Thank you again, we hope to see you all back for official launch!

Moonsblessings, Alaunis and JimJim

As many of you know, Lorwolf’s beta test was reset a couple days ago and testing will continue for a little while longer. In the meantime, we have some exciting goodies to share this month, including a new NPC and a preview of the game’s next breed! Read on to find out more:

What’s new?

• New Crafting NPC - Miss Mac
• Volmyr (Wyvern) breed sketches
• Asks
• Lorwolf is hiring!

Miss Mac’s Crafting Table

Please join us in welcoming Miss Mac, the crafting NPC, to the lands of Loria! Miss Mac is a river otter and a very special character, as I (Alaunis) designed her after my mom. I lost my mom this February very suddenly and unexpectedly, and as a result of her passing I wanted to dedicate some parts of the game to her.

My mom was incredibly talented. Her hands could create just about anything her mind could dream up. From knitting, to sewing, to soap-making, sculpting, baking, painting, and beyond, she practiced and perfected these crafts and spoiled me with an endless supply of beautiful hand-made goods. She was exceptionally generous and enjoyed spending her free time creating gifts for friends and loved ones. As such, I felt our crafting NPC needed to be based on her and her wonderful talents, so that in a way she can continue sharing her creations with others.

As a side note, I also made the Mutterbird companion in memory of her because she adored hummingbirds (and otters!).

New Breed - Volmyr

Shown above are some concept sketches of Lorwolf’s newest wolf breed model - the Volmyr! This breed (wyvern) was the winner of our Kickstarter poll, and will be the next breed featured in the game. We shared these sketches in our Discord server a short while back, but we want to make sure everyone gets a sneak peak!

We haven’t yet decided on the final characteristics for this breed, but we imagine they will be big and formidable yet very gentle and cautious. As you can probably tell, they were based on the real world “flying fox” bats, which we think look remarkably canid.

Lorwolf Asks

Here are answers to the Asks that were submitted recently:

We don’t have an estimated release date for custom skins/apparel yet, unfortunately!

It’s just the two of us, me (Alaunis) and JimJim! We are doing great today, thanks for asking <3

We aren’t quite sure how joining the game after beta will work. We were toying around with the idea of registration windows or some sort of staggered sign-up system, but that’s still TBD!

We haven’t yet decided on the final cost for the monthly membership, but it will provide a certain number of moonstones and remove all ads from the site. Moonstones are used to purchase cosmetic changes - like breed/pattern changes and apparel, and can also be used to purchase more space - such as extra Den space and Mining cart capacity!

Lorwolf Is Hiring!

We are looking to recruit several more members to join our team, including additional volunteer Discord and forum moderators and 1-2 artists. Check out our Careers page to see the available job listings and instructions on how to apply: https://lorwolf.com/Careers
