Development Update #4

YESSS SAME SEX PAIRS! THANK U GUYS SO MUCH

GAY WOLVES GAY WOLVES YES

im so glad to hear all of this, i was hoping a lot of these would be implemented in the near future!!! thank you guys for the update, its such a nice feeling to see the userbase being listened to, i hope everything goes well and yall take care of yourselves as well!! ❤️

edit to gush about how excited about literally everything on this list you dont even KNOW, omw to make my whole pack wlw xD and omllll the battle update!!! and training!!!! personality!!!!!!!! i think those are my personal highlights :D

i hope there’ll be some more significant diffs between here and the sister site as some of the things in the list are similar to things that happen there, with the alluded pup sink/karma system and such, so id love to see a twist on them when we hear more! theyre great features, but you guys have put so many differences into many things on here and i am LOVING them so im excited to see if youll add some discrepancies to those concepts in further updates!!

all in all cheers!! this was a wonderful thing to come back from work to xDD

cant pick one thing alone to be excited about, thank you guys for everything you do!

Event event event!!! The art is already so gorgeous on the site, I can't wait to see how pretty things are gonna get :O

also yes pls puppy enclave lol

*Screams*

I cannot wait for some of these things to drop, I'm most excited about the same-sex pair-bonding, Custom Decors, The karma system, and Pup Training.
 

Wow that’s a lot, amazing! <3

A little disappointed at the pair bonds still being limited, but I appreciate that at 50 slots (SC slots end at 51), players who don't want to spend GC on territory spaces will still have 7 slots, which is much better. (Only 3-4 months to get through all your pairs as opposed to 12-13, and MUCH easier to work around.) Not sure how I feel about it not going up more when you hit over 100 slots since things start to get more than a wee bit expensive there, but 22/100 pairs breeding per month and it bugs me it's not an even 25 is still pretty nice if you can afford all the slots. (Which I am now going to aim to do because I need all them pair slots.) Now I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna use this to my advantage... :P I have... ideas.

And thank all that is holy that the male cooldown is gone. It was just a tad overkill and I will be more likely to consider breeding them. Though this also means now I have to figure out what the heck I want out of my males... Fak.

Also, extremely pleased about the same sex pair bonds and very interested to see what these can do in the future. Gonna leave my little lesbian ladies unpaired for now because I have been too lazy to officially pair them anyways I want to see what they can do first/if I actually need whatever benefits y'all have in mind. (I'll always be studding them out anyway since they're for stats, but I don't want to clog my bond page.)

Just gonna... go silently do some prayers and stuff for a jigsaw puzzle minigame because I love puzzles. Also, talent trees, you say? Guess maybe I should actually work on getting Meziki to 20... even though RNGesus hates me. Dark theme will be very nice for my eyes, I think, and the bear, training, and personality updates I look forward to. Mostly the training 'cause I feel like pups and adolescents are just food holes right now - which is completely fine, just a little boring 'cause I like being able to interact with all my wolves.

I am... tentative about more explore content since it means encounters you want slowly become a little less easy to come by. I want more content, of course, because more content means more things to enjoy and explore - I'm just worried that more content without more zones isn't exclusively a good thing. Also, more encounters could mean more loot... Which just means more to hoard... Hmm. Kinda like that. We'll have to see, though.

Just gonna say right now I hate karma systems, so I'm not overly pleased about this particular thing, but I knew it was coming considering some of the explore encounters already in place.

I am... severely disappointed to hear that the event won't be the whole month, but the way the post is phrased, is it just this tester/beta event that's going to be short? Events being a whole month long is something I've enjoyed about Lioden because it reduces my stress over getting the items I want and it means there's always something for me to do other than the same old constant stocking and restocking of things I find in explore. I feel shorter events would put the sites in competition as well, since less time on one site means more time spent on it and less time for the other - especially if someone already has a limited time to play each day due to a job or school. But, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I am still eager for the event, as I love events across all the games I've played.

I like reading through the mini updates. It lets me know all the weirdness that's been going on that hasn't affected me and I think showing the update to update progress on the site is something undervalued by some games. Being able to see 'we fixed this bug and want you to know even though it was minor and only affected 10 people and not you' or 'we realized this thing wasn't as cool as it could be, so we tweaked it' is really nice and appreciated, as it reminds everyone there is constant work being done on the site, even if we don't watch the code itself change.

Sorry for the word vomit. I got excited...

yes the is gonna be lit howllllllllllllllllllll
