Development Update - November Part 1
Its time for our first (possibly only) November update! We’ve been very busy this month so far with coding features, writing lore, and painting the pretty things, so we may only have time for one update.Â
Now that our demo is out there, I can focus more on item creation, enemy concepts, apparel items, lore, and so much more. JimJim, the programming wizard, has been chugging away on a bunch of new features including the Gauntlet, the Pageant, Daily Quests, Forums, and Messages & Notifications. I’ll try to space out the descriptions of these features in our dev updates so they aren’t spammed all at once.
These new enemies and items were conceptualized by our lovely Patreon supporters, whose creativity and imagination continues to amaze me.Â
Woolback and Lighthorn Bovius - Designed by @fennelroot-fr​! These proud beasts will be seen traversing the frozen tundras of Icerun.
Emperor and Imperial Canictonis - Designed by @tabaquis-creatures​! They can be encountered while roaming the deserts of Goldsea.
We also wanted to share our new item thumbnail system. Every item will have a rarity assigned to it - common (white), uncommon (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), and legendary (orange). The icons in the top left corner signify what type of item it is. They will also have a brief hover description so you can easily learn more about what they do and how much they are worth.Â

JimJim has been working on creating a few unique features that will add some variety to the gameplay on Lorwolf. One of those, titled The Gauntlet, will allow players to pit their wolves against the deadliest enemies in Loria to receive valuable rewards and experience.Â
Players will select up to five of their best wolves to take on rounds of enemies, each more deadly than the last. You can quit and claim your rewards at any time, or test your luck by pressing on. Victory yields great rewards, but be defeated and you lose everything. The Gauntlet is unlocked at level 10 and can be played once a week.
With our demo now finished and up on the interwebs, we have set our sights on releasing a test version of the game. Lorwolf will be tested in three phases; Phase 1 will be the alpha test, reserved for Patrons and professional testers, Phase 2 will be one or a series of closed betas, reserved for Patrons, Discord riddle winners, and a few selected others, and Phase 3 will be an open beta for everyone. These tests will help us find bugs, iron out features, and get a better understanding of what you, our audience, wants to see in the game.Â
Once these three phases are done, Lorwolf will be ready for release. There are no dates set in stone for these phases, nor do we have a set release date, but we will do our best to keep everyone updated on our progress. Keep in mind that all of our announced plans, features, and content may be changed in the future. Thanks for sticking with us so far, your support is what keeps us going <3Â
