Major Update #8 0.17 - 0.3

What up, everyone! It has been a minute since the last update post, but we are finally ready to party! We have cooked up two new updates for you so lets strap on in and get straight to it!

Whats new?

The team and I have been cooking up two new updates, Beta 0.17 and Beta 0.30. These updates include bug fixes, new items, and 2 new games! Let us jump in!

Beta 0.17

Beta 0.17 is a relatively small update, so I'll keep it short! The face catalog was adjusted, fixing the prices and tweaking the smiley face. A special NEW HAT was added that is super duper awesome, so definitely check that out, it is free, too! Finally, a new game was added called Run Away! In this game, you have to collect items within a certain time limit to escape the incoming apocalypse! Can you beat it, try it out for yourself!

Beta 0.3

Beta 0.3 is a MASSIVE update. We skipped the entire 0.2 range and jumped straight to 0.3, strap in cause there is a lot! The biggest change made was a total rework of the whole UI. The UI also now includes splash text that you can go through to see some history about Wiven and possible secrets in the future! The profile system now looks fresh and is a lot smoother (picture below to see)! The profile button now has a use allowing you to see your character and what he/she has equipped. The third-person mode has now been fixed, so your character doesn't appear to be an ant compared to other objects. A cool new easter egg has been added to Jump Over the Moon, can you find it (NAMREK BOB A SOMAMA)? A new game called Peaceful Pond has been added as well! This game has many secrets to uncover, so play, and try to find them all! Finally, some secret infrastructure has been added to pave the way for future updates!

"Wiven Soundtrack Volume 2: Soon To Be!"

Wiven is also releasing its second soundtrack! It has songs already in the game and songs soon to come! Take a listen! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1059269026

What does the future hold?

The future is looking brighter and better than ever! With new ideas and the foundation laid, updates are coming faster and quicker than ever! We hope to have some season events coming up for Fall and Winter! Maybe some community events, too?

And hey! While your waiting, why not look at some of our other socials?

Super Major Update(s) #7 0.080 - 0.10

Hello, its been a very long time since we have been active on this but we are back! The team and I have been cooking the past month or two churning out update after update. So today lets look at all the new content that we have added!

Whats been added?

Beta 0.081

After the official release of Wiven Beta 0.080 we had finally stepped out of the Alpha phase. This update didn't have anything major besides a few bug fixes. We've removed the ability to go into debt (sorry gamblers), fixed up the wardrobe, limited the infinite collection range in Jump to the Moon (JOTM), fixed a date in Peaceful Home (PH) and fixed an avatar glitch. Below is the change log:

You can no longer go into debt

Fixed the wardrobe

Fixed the infinite collection range in JOTM

Date corrected PH from Oct 31 2024 to Oct 31 2021

Fixed a glitch that caused your avatar to disappear

Beta 0.082

Shortly after Beta 0.081 more catalog issues sprung up that need to be addressed. Along with a slew of new hats and an easier catalog system was added. Below is the change log:

Added some new hats

Adjusted the catalog system to be easier to use

Added a way to make items Offsale

Fixed the player model and hats to be smaller

Fixed ALOT of bugs in the catalog

Beta 0.085

Beta 0.085 added something everyone had been asking for since the Alpha phase. The new feature is called the Wiven Studio. The Wiven studio allows you to make your own games inside of Wiven! If you want access to this feature leave a comment below the Scratch Project. Also some new sound effects made by @xycatryz were added to fill some gaps were sound wasnt, or to improve those that needed it.

Beta 0.09

Beta 0.09 was a big update! This update included the first new game added in the Beta phase, Sky Stones! Along with that, JOTM was given 2 new levels! a moon level and a lava level. Another thing with this update was some more LORE development. It was updated by. fixing the map, finishing provinces, adding islands, population and names added, along with other things.

Beta 0.10

Beta 0.10 FINALLY added some old content that was missing from all the way back in Alpha 0.025. This content was the Banana Farm Events! Every 2 or so minutes, random events will happen that do something to your farm! Along with that, some new faces were added and a LOT of improvements were made to improve play experience.

Extra Note: In this update we had to figure out if we wanted to only include 2 number like this: 0.10 or if we wanted to include 3 numbers like this 0.100. The decision was made to only include 2 numbers.

What does the future hold?

The future is full of new and exciting things! We will be adding more games, features, and possibly... just maybe.... some new technology... ooooOoOOOoOo! We are also planning to hold some community events, start devlogs, and do streams!

We have started to post new shorts on the Wiven YT channel! These are posted ever so often so make sure you are subscribed and have notifications on!

Super Major Update #4 0.05

Hey everyone! Hope you have been holding up well! I finally got off the mun with help from my friend Jebediah Kerman and returned to Wiven HQ to get things back on schedule! We have been cooking for the past 3 weeks and have made some new games, lets take a look!

Whats new?

These past 3 weeks we have created 5 new Wiven games for the fans to enjoy! These games are Parkour, Car Fun, Apple Search, Death to the Sun, and Kill the Scripter! These games have pushed the capacity of what we once thought impossible in Wiven adding many new features! We have been able to upgrade the NPC AI, world generation, expand on character development, and the lore behind them. This has all been possible because of our new schedule we are following (made by yours truly). This schedule allows us to focus on multiple games per week and develop them over time instead of just focusing on one game per week like we were doing. It helps with game management and optimization as we can develop them over time to our liking!

Parkour

This game has you suspended in the air, jumping across these magical floating bricks! Your goal is to jump across all of them and make it to the end without dying! (Or you meet your DOOM!)

Fun Fact: This game helped figure out a lot about how game maps are created!

Car Fun

This game is about you driving in your new Bugatti you got from and crashing into some civilians! You can build up your speed by finding ramps scattered across the map!

Fun Fact: This game helped develop the first NPC AI and how it interacts with the environment!

Apple Search

This game is a tribute to the first 3D game that Melcat248 (creator of Wiven) ever made called "The Plains 3D"! It was to test his skills with the 3D engine made by TheGreenFlash.

Fun Fact: This game started the whole Wiven Franchise and the lore behind it!

Death to the Sun

This game has you running away from are sun as it slowly eats up more and more of the planet! Your goal is to make it to the end and fly away in the rocket ship to safety!

Fun Fact: This game helped improve the optimization of level / world generation of Wiven!

Kill the Scripter

This game adds a boss fight into Wiven! The goal is to kill the scripter who is controlling the environment around you. It was built heavily on lore and requires much skill to beat!

Fun Fact: This game was a result of a flourish of creativity, and it has continued to influence Wiven as a whole! Its helped with optimization and it helped improve Wiven's NPC AI.

What does the future hold?

The future for Wiven is looking brighter than ever before! Games are pumping out and a lot of progress has been made! This is one of the last major updates of the Alpha era before we switch to Beta! Next major update will include a few new games for you to enjoy once beta releases!
