WOTM Annual Event Winner
Congratulations to FallingFireX for winning the WOTM Event Bracket! All rewards have been handed out to both particpants and their dragons! We look forward to next year and if you have any feedback please let us know. We'd like to know what we did well and what we can do better for next year!New concept Pages
We are beginning to use concept pages to help explain things for players such as how to read genotypes etc. In this case, we have added two new pages!
- Genetics changes - You can view all merge and name changes to markings here!
- How to Read a geno - this one is a WIP but it will explain how to read genotypes!
Design updates
We made a few updates to our design guides and items.
- Item kits can now close mouths
- Color modifiers now show that can affect all or part of lepir and harlequin in the complex version.
- Soft edges have been removed from shimmer to avoid confusion with cloud.
- Torched can now be any color all the time.
- Tritone can affect up to two markings now.
- Duotone can affect agouti now.
- Added in text for all layers of aether marked allowing to be different colors.
- Added in text for oilslick series to explain how the marking behaves in layers.
- Corrected Melanism text to better explain location of sliders.
Weather and Seasons
We have added a new extensions that shows a randomized weather for the current season. We hope this helps understand what season the game is in - but the weather is just for fun!
Form Auto Population
You may have noticed, but when selecting a prompt, a form will auto populate to be filled in! We hope this helps avoid having to go and grab the forms or missing them.
New Permanent Scouting Area
We have added a new permanent scouting area - The Farm Lands! You'll find a lot of crops here, and should notice all of the new items for cooking in here.
Collections Added
A new extension was added called Collections! Think of this like a museum type activity, except you get to keep your items! Enjoy the rewards of hoarding your items. We will add more in here as time progresses!
New Items
A huge array of new items were added. Many of these items are new food items! You can get them currently in the new scouting area, but we plan to add them to Expeditions and quests as well!
Game Fixes
- Set all character trophies to be features (we are working on sizing of all trophies so apologies for funkness!
- Corrected gallery submissions not requiring at least 1 staff vote for submission approval.
- Corrected image size for scouting icon on dashboard.
- Corrected events link not working for drop down.
- Added (and now removed) WOTM Icon link.
- Updated/added art for items: Marking, eye, horn applicators
- Updated pricing for all applicators and eggs to be more worth selling.
- Fixed image sizing on applicator items.
- Fixing marking applicator having eye applicator image.
- Fixed a bug where level log accessed from the player page gave a 500 error.
- Attempted some fixes for some bugs, but not sure if it is corrected.
- Updated site to latest Lorekeeper Dev Release.
- Fixed an issue preventing next/previous buttons from appearing on character profiles. Additionally these buttons now go by category instead of ALL characters.
- Added links to the background downloads on all the location chests.
- We moved location chests to background category for those who did not want to open them right away but got sick of seeing them in the openable section all the time.
- We removed all the old items from the game. This is all those items with the A. in front of their name. If you are missing something submit a claim with any proof you can provide please!
- Fixed an issue with recipes.
- Renamed all recipes so they have "Recipe" in the name so it isn't confusing when you unlock yoru research.
- all recipes are now in categories in the recipe book.
- Updated outdated information in the Temperaments traits entries.
- Corrected a broken link in the genetics portal for mutations
SITE UI UPDATES
Lastly I have some site UI updates!
The Profile settings page has been updated to be less of a giant list and more organized. I hope this helps user navigate this section while making less of a burden!
Genotype pages now properly show up like our character profiles do with the new UI. However we made some tweaks to the right side since all the information on characters isn't the same as genotypes!
