#wolvden polymelia

[the-old-appalachias-pack]

My pack lethals, in order of their adoption.

I finally finished my most recent - my conjoined twins, Solstice & Equinox! Though I feel like they're still missing a foreground decor, I can't find something I feel is fitting.

There was no orange halo, and while I requested the colors on two or three of them, the user hasn't been active in a while - but I think I made their eclipse look work with the black halo and inferno eyes!

I love them very much, tho Æther holds my heart the most.

Aranea  🕷

Yesterday I got my first ever lethal mutation! <3 Her mom is my 1% girl, whom I bought a while ago for exactly this reason. I’m so excited!

I will likely customize her a bit, slap some RMA exclusives on her and see what sticks. She’s so pretty already though, I’m really happy with her!

Polymelia in front of Palisades of New Jersey

Look at this poor cute little wolfie!  Just a preview of the art for one of Wolvden’s Lethal Mutations 💔

We have some big news coming next week, so make sure to follow us for updates!

New lethal!!

Meet Aurora Polaris!

He's the newest addition to my pack! I did not have any intention to add more to my lethals unless they came out with a new one that I liked - I have zero intent of adding a brachy.

Always, I saw this polymelia up recently and this is nothing like he looked prior - but I had the idea and then got super invested into the entire design. So now I have two polymelia.

I wanna get some custom decor for him as well. But here is a link to my older post with the other three.

Update: got a custom decor recolored and his design done, so here is his version without decor and with!!

[the-old-appalachias-pack]

These designs won't be forever, I intend to get some custom stuff done for them!!

Course it'll be easy for me to revert them back to their current states if I need to.

My completed immortal trio of the random lethals - not a Bracy fan so I don't have any. But one polycephaly, one conjoined twins, and one polymelia!

La Dorada, Mars & Ares, and Æether of the Kerberos pack!!

Teaser Recap

With just over 5 weeks to go until Early Access, we thought it would be a good idea to have a bit of a recap on all the teasers we've released!  We are expecting to be able to give you some news on Early Access sales in the next week or two ;)

We also have been accumulating a lot of new followers over the weeks, we've hit 4000 on Tumblr alone - thank you for your support!  Anyone who has joined in the past few weeks may not have seen the earlier teasers, another great reason for a recap post!

This will be pretty brief, and there is a lot more information in our past teasers which you can find if you look back at our previous posts!

We will also be reblogging some older teasers that don't necessarily make it into this recap over the coming week, so keep an eye out for those too!

Wolvden

Wolvden will be a free to play game that is launching on the 9th October 2020!  You can be a wolf in charge of your own pack, exploring and encountering scenery, flora and fauna native to the Americas.  Breed wolves to combine many different bases, markings and other features to produce beautiful puppies and begin your wolf pack dynasty this year!

We will be selling Early Access which will allow purchasers to access the game from the 25th September 2020.  Details on how to purchase Early Access is coming soon!

We have a mailing list which you can sign up for at https://www.wolvden.com - we will be sending emails out with information about Early Access and launch date reminders!

Your Pack

You play the role of the Lead Wolf of your pack - this is a lone role, and will be the wolf that you create when you sign up.  Your Lead Wolf can be male or female.

You can set a "Featured Wolf" which can be used for many reasons - it displays prominently on your den page.  You can rename this position - perhaps the Featured Wolf is really your Queen, or maybe it's your Breeding Male.  Maybe it's a wolf you want to draw attention to because it's your proudest achievement in your breeding program.

Your Breeding Male is a singular role that can be separate from your Lead Wolf - especially if you have a female lead wolf.  There can only be one Breeding Male, but it isn't an exclusive role, so he can also be a Scout or a Hunter if you want.

The roles currently in the game are: Hunter, Scout, Herbalist, Pupsitter.

Hunting

You can create hunting parties which contain up to 5 wolves.  Each hunting party requires wolves to take a specific formation, that of a Stalker, Chasers and a Finisher.  One wolf can assume all 5 roles, but it will be more energy intensive for the single wolf than if you had 5 wolves, and it will need to rest in between hunts.

Scouting

When you start the game, you choose a biome to live in.  That could be the Grasslands, Mountains or the Deciduous Forest.  From there, you will need a scout to send them out and discover other nearby territories.  Once your scout has revealed a new biome, it can travel further afield and discover even more areas.

Herbalism

Your herbalist plays an important role in pack life.  They can learn and create recipes for medicine - something that will become very important when your pack starts getting sick!  They can also spend their time foraging for herbs, so when your pack is well and there are no illnesses to tend to, they can spend the time gathering herbs for the future.

Pupsitting

All puppies need looking after while their mothers are sent out on hunts or scouts, so pupsitters fill this vital role.  From birth to adolescence, pupsitters will make sure that puppies have the best survival chance possible - as long as they're not overrun with pups!

Breeding

There is too much information to condense into a small paragraph about breeding, but know that we have a complex system with unique genetics to explore and play with.  We will be starting the game with 2 lethal mutations - Polycephaly (separated two heads) and Polymelia (extra limbs) - as voted on by our social media followers.

Some mutations will be genetic and will be passable by two carrier parents.

Wolves can have litter sizes from 1-6 puppies, with 3-4 being the most common.

More Detail?

You can read more information about all of these subjects - and more - by just checking back through our previous posts!

We hope to see you at launch, if not in Early Access!

So far...

Since there were no asks answered yesterday we thought we’d compile a list of all teasers and other information that we have released up until now!

If you’re new here...

Wolvden is an upcoming sister game to the existing game, Lioden, which will be a fun wolf-based role playing breeding sim experience (we honestly don’t know how to categorise this game any more).  You look after a pack of wolves, care for them, breed them, explore a vast range of biomes, fight big and scary enemies, and hunt a variety of prey.

Beta Testing will be free to join, but will be by application process only, we will hand select those who will join us for testing.

Early Access will be paid, but we have yet to release any further details on this.

Wolvden will be free to play after Early Access.

Wolvden has official accounts on Facebook (/wolvden), Twitter (@WolvdenGame), Tumblr (here) and Instagram (WolvdenOfficial) - our landing page can be found at https://www.wolvden.com!

Seasons - All 4 seasons will feature in the game.

Weather - Sunny, Fog, Rain, Heatwave have been confirmed.

Dusk/Twilight has been hinted at, there will also be dawn.

You can have one lead wolf, and one breeding male - they can be the same or separate.  You can have a male or female lead wolf.

Hunting Part 1 and Part 2 explain the hunting system!

Fancy new breeding page allows you to compare wolf visuals directly.

Crossroads will feature Location Tokens rather than a full map allowing us to easily add new places in the future!

The art and development teams are the same for Wolvden as they are on Lioden.

Wolvden will have Gold and Silver Beetles.

We hope to incorporate storylines on Wolvden as well as some more on Lioden.

Combo bases will exist on Wolvden.

Pregnant wolf art is definitely on the list but may not be available at launch.

We are figuring out elderly wolf appearances.

Seasons will not affect breeding cycles.

There will be a page similar to the Oasis on Wolvden, but renamed to fit with the setting.

Different biomes will have difficulties which make them harder to scout, explore, and live in.

We have had Wolvden on our minds since 2013 which is when we registered the domain name.

You can fully customise an existing wolf, or create a new one, with the Wolf Customiser.

Studding will be similar to Lioden.

Creating your first wolf will be a stripped down version of the customiser, allowing you to hand-select the base, markings, etc. rather than rolling pre-set wolves.

You can explore any fully scouted biome regardless of where your pack lives.

Mutations will apply to both sexes as long as they’re not mechanically dependent on sex (e.g. double uterus).

You will be able to communicate with all members of the game, not just those in your current biome.

We welcome any Youtube channels (or other content creators) who wish to release content about Wolvden to approach us through support@lioden.com with the email subject “Wolvden Content”.

Wolvden will be treated as a separate game to Lioden - you will not be able to claim your Lioden ID on Wolvden, or have any other account crossover feature.

Scrying will be a feature on Wolvden!

We will look into a name randomiser for Wolvden.

We haven’t yet released any information about beta testing or early access.

Scrying will have a SB cost.

Some unique Wolvden features may potentially make their way over to Lioden depending on user feedback.

We will be announcing EVERYWHERE when we release information about beta testing and early access.

Litter sizes will be 1-6 puppies with 1 and 6 being the rarest, the average being 3-4.

Thank you for the astonishing response to the Lethal Mutations poll, over 2000 responses!  The final four are chosen, although it was close!

Wolvden will begin with the lethal mutations Conjoined Twins, Polycephaly (Separated Two Heads), Polymelia (Extra Limbs) and Brachycephaly! The remaining options will appear as later additions to the game :) (Google got a bit broken, the empty option is Polycephaly (Separated Two Heads))

[prophet-rebellion]

Update bc I changed the name of the conjoined twins! And also just because I love them all immensely.

My completed immortal trio of the random lethals - not a Bracy fan so I don't have any. But one polycephaly, one conjoined twins, and one polymelia!
