Dappervolk Pre-Launch Info!

Hello everyone! Before the site officially launches, we have some information that we’d like to impart to help everyone prepare for a smooth start to their Dappervolk journey!

When your player character arrives in the world of Dappervolk, they will begin their journey in the town of Louise Hill. As you meet the NPCs of this town, you will be presented with main-story quests that will teach you about basic game mechanics in Dappervolk. These tutorial quests have now been expanded upon and updated since our beta testing phase, to include new sections that will cover information about features that weren’t available yet in beta.

Additionally, a handful of existing quests have undergone some balancing and routing revisions.

Taking into account beta testing feedback, we have adjusted the pet hatching part of the tutorial to have a shortened hatch time. This is the only time you’ll be able to hatch a pet more quickly than normal, and it will be for a specific, untradeable pet that has not been seen yet!

If you had any Dappervolk redemption codes that you redeemed during beta testing, you’ll be able to redeem it once again to own the item(s) permanently in official launch.

If you’ve misplaced/lost the email containing a redemption code, simply send in a Support Ticket or email [email protected] with the email that you purchased/obtained the code with, and we’ll be able to help you retrieve it.

As our beta testing phase occurred a while ago, we understand that some users with existing accounts may have forgotten their login names/passwords.

A login name retrieval and password reset function is now available for users to access their account information. Simply go to the login page and click “Forgot your password?” Or visit this link: https://dappervolk.com/password/email

If you’ve lost access to your account in another way and need assistance, feel free to send in a Support Ticket or email [email protected] with your problem for assistance from our support team.

As promised, the following items from our beta testing phase will be carried over to existing user accounts:

Beta Pet Hatching Item (Prismatic Bell) - Awarded to all users who played during beta testing.

Beta Tester Achievement - Awarded to all users who played during beta testing.

Animated Spring Bloom Item - Distributed to users who placed in the top 25% for the Spring Event during beta testing.

Beta Spring Event Trophies - Distributed to participants according to the event tier that they obtained in the Spring Event during beta testing.

All carry-over rewards will be present in the user’s account when they log back in, no need for codes or redemptions in this case!

We know many of you are excited to get your first start in our new guilds feature! Here are some important pre-launch tidbits to take note of about guilds:

Guilds will require a certain set of mid-game prerequisites in order to gain the ability to create one, so we anticipate that it will take a bit of time for the first handful of guilds to begin appearing.

Players can expect to first meet the NPC responsible for overseeing the creation of guilds toward the end of the first town’s tutorial quests. From this point forward, you will be able to approach them to inquire about forming a guild.

New and returning seasonal Pride items will be obtainable through gameplay for the rest of June once the site launches!

Our potato and turnip monthly limited shops will receive their first sets of items in the beginning of July.

The Seasonal Charity Pet Sale will end on July 4th, 2020. After this, the Feathered Gem hatchable will not be obtainable until the next charity event is held.

The Light & Dark Launch Support bundles will retire permanently on July 5th, 2020.

A brand new site-wide summer event is planned to occur some time in July/August!

Thank you so much for your continued support and love for the game. We hope you enjoy Dappervolk when it launches, and we will see you there! ♥

May Progress Update!

Hello everyone! After a few months in development, we’re back to show you some progress and outline how development has been coming along. We’ll be covering each section of development and showing some visual progress!

We have a pretty extensive to-do list for the painted assets required for launch.

This includes:

All artwork for the 5th town - Town Map, NPC’s, Pets, Clothing, Items

All peddler NPC’s for Peddler’s Port

All peddler wares for Peddler’s Port

All Adventuring Backgrounds for each town

All new item art

Various additional avatar item rewards for features throughout the site (Affection system, alchemy, some new features, etc)

Event Art Assets (Items, Clothing, etc)

A few month’s worth of items for the monthly shops

Kickstarter Backer Design Rewards (To be completed over time before/after official launch)

So far, we’ve completed all artwork for the 5th town, all peddler NPC’s for the Peddler’s Port, and are currently working on Peddler wares, Adventuring backgrounds, item art, and misc new assets.

We’re working at a good pace to get all assets finished before launch!

Here are some previews of currently completed art:

The NPC’s of Peddler’s Port will be selling various wares not seen in the rest of the Dappervolk world!

3’s Forest Adventuring Background!

Silvie’s Mine Adventuring Background!

We’re holding back on the 5th Town’s artwork in order to keep the spoilers at a minimum!

Since we have a big Adventuring play style update in the works, we’re working on adding new sprite actions and appearances to all class sprites. You’ll be able to unlock new appearances while adventuring and explore new adventuring areas after encountering travel gates, among other mechanisms!

Along with the new Adventuring backgrounds, we’re also working on new pixel npcs for each distinct area as well as gates and obstacles.

Here’s a preview gif of one of our new sprite appearances!

Our guild feature is coming along well, here are some screenshots of what the general layout will look like!

Guilds will be fully colour customizable and have a leveling system that unlocks new upgrade perks which the guild can collectively work towards.

Each guild will have a myriad of features available to facilitate a customized community within the larger Dappervolk userbase.

At higher levels, guilds will unlock the ability to duel other guilds for exp and currency wagers!

We’ve completed much of the music needed for our new town and later features such as Housing. Our composer is working at a steady pace to create a cohesive sound for Dappervolk.

Interested in listening to our existing Dappervolk music? Visit our talented composer’s Dappervolk page over on Bandcamp! https://stijnvanwakeren.bandcamp.com/album/dappervolk

New music for later features and the new town will be available after site launch!

Our writers are hard at work with the continuing quest line going into the 5th town as well as its side quests! We’re excited to share more of the world’s lore and introduce the new NPC’s to everyone through their quests, it’s been a blast to develop!

Over the last few months of development, some members of our developer team have had various changes in situation that have affected their availability. This is why we have a hiring post up to potentially bring on some more developers to increase efficiency. Meanwhile, our current team is working hard on the many features and adjustments to existing features that we have planned for launch.

Click here to view our hiring post!

We’ll be posting more updates on this in the future!

Due to various aspects of development not being concrete, we’re not yet able to give an exact launch date for Dappervolk. We were originally aiming for the first half of 2019, but we may need to extend to the second half of 2019.

We’re committed to making Dappervolk the best it can be for official launch, and more time is required for development to be completed smoothly. We’ll be providing more updates with info on our progression as well as small sneak peeks over the next while.

Once we have a launch date we can announce, we’ll be doing so on all platforms at least a month in advance with emails to all subscribers and users, as well as posts across all social media, so you won’t miss it!

Thank you so much everyone for your patience and support for the game, it’s all because of you that we’ve been able to get this far! ♥
