It's time for a new update!

Today heralds the arrival of not one, but two new mini games!

Fishing

Fishing

The first of our major mini games has arrived! Fishing can now be found and played via the Games token in the Crossroads. Fishing takes place in your home biome, and the location you see will update depending on the time of day it is currently, too! As you open up fishing you'll see the area your pack resides in and ripples will start appearing in the water. Clicking and holding on a ripple brings up a bobber that moves around a circle. When the bobber lands in the green area of the circle, release your click, and you will catch a fish!

Different fish live in different biomes, and may also appear in different weather types and times of day, too. All fish have their own weight categories and have different rarity levels. It's generally expected a higher rarity fish might be harder to catch with the bobber, too!

You can submit one fish every ten minutes to receive a prize, but can catch as many fish as you like in between and 'hold' onto one until the ten minute timer is up. Only one fish can be held to turn in at a time.

You can win up to 100 SC a day from fishing, and different rarities will turn in different amounts of SC! The rarities are as follows:

Common
Regular
Uncommon
Rare
Legendary

Catching a legendary fish will also grant you its legendary fish item as well as the SC prize, so are definitely worth holding on to and turning in if you catch them!

Not only that, but if you catch a fish in the top 50% of its weight category, you'll gain a Delicate Meat item too, to help feed your wolves.

Finally, all fish have their own leaderboards! These weekly leaderboards are wiped every Monday. The person who catches and turns in the heaviest fish of that species each week will win 50 SC and bragging rights on the boards. In addition to this, on the daily leaderboards, the people who have caught the heaviest haul for the day in their biome will appear! These reset at midnight every day. The #1 position will be awarded 50 SC, 2nd place is awarded 45 SC, 3rd 40 SC, and so on, and so forth. These prizes are given out for the leaders in each biome!

We hope you'll join us in being excited with our first major mini game. We aim to add achievements and host mini fishing events later in the year!

Fishing page! CLICK!

Please note: opening the game in more than one tab/window at once will not boost your chances, and may cause errors turning in fish caught. The game is designed to be played in one tab or window at a time only.

Slots

Slots

To join Fishing, Slots have now been released on the Games page! Each spin costs 10 SC and there are different rewards, including some (currently) exclusive new items that can't be found anywhere else! (Though we do note, as events etc are added in our future, many of these items will not remain exclusive to slots!) You can make up to 5 spins an hour. The rewards can be found below, in the following image:

We will summarise this in text too, since you won't be able to tell what some of the items are yet!

Match Any Two: Aw, so close! A consolation prize of 2 SC or a 1 use Bone.

Low Reward: 20 SC, Rattle, Muskox Carcass, Lucky Foot, Whale Rib Bone, Healing Salve or a Critter Bundle!

Medium Reward: 100 SC, Toy Bundle, Rich Healing Salve, Red Cock, Cure-For-All, Black Sage or Food Bundle!

High Reward: 200 SC, Random Marking Applicator, Personality Changer, Guarana, Blue Sage or Great Tit!

We do have plans to add more prizes to these tiers in future, so keep your eyes peeled!

Custom Decors

Looking for something a little more exclusive to adorn your wolves? Look no further! Custom Decors are here! You now have the ability to create your very own Custom Decors, which will appear as in game items and allow you and others (if you decide to share them!) to equip them to wolves! The artwork you create (or commission an artist for) will actually show up on your wolves, just like regular game made decors! To help you fit Wolvden's scene, a wonderful Art Style Tutorial has been provided. Following the advice here can make getting your decors approved much easier.

When creating decors, you can customize them per wolf stage, to make them that much more dynamic. A future update will allow for creating decors that fit mutations as well!

Of course, once custom decors start populating the market, you'll need a way to find exactly what you're looking for. The Custom Decor filter will let you search for decors based on a variety of criteria, including handy tags! (These are tags that are assigned by an Administrator upon approval).

We hope this addition helps bring out your creative side!

Again, please remember that all Custom Decors must be approved by an Administrator before they are available on the site. As noted above, a future update will bring lethal mutations along with the ability to submit revisions to your decors!

The Custom Decor Creator item is in the Grove for a price of 10 GC. A copy costs 5 GC.

You can find Custom Decors in the bottom of the Crossroads via this token:

And finally, here are a list of bug fixes and minor additions/updates that have been added to the game since the last update:

Minor Change

* Reduced chances of getting an injury or illness from Large and Medium hunting prey.
* Feral Cattle and Cattle Carcass were renamed to Feral Bovine and Bovine Carcass respectively.
