That's it for now!
Up next for February we will be opening a beta branch for the next QOL update. Unfortunately - we weren't able to get a teaser image for you this time. Perhaps I can think of some other clever hint. I'll have to remind myself to get something for you as soon I can.

Hey everybody. It's Roadmap time again!

NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates.

This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly.

For 2021 we aimed to "keep on keeping on". As we have previously seen our content schedule of character refreshes and occasional substantial content updates has continued to work out well for the team and players.

In 2021 we released one new character, three character refreshes, two significant QOL updates, two major content updates. We brought Kleifest and the Summer Cawnival as well as our regular holiday events and a surprise content update with our Terraria collaboration. We had SO much fun working with Re-logic for this fun little diversion that turned out to be not so little. I don't know if we'll ever have another awesome opportunity like that, but it was an absolute blast and we're thrilled everybody enjoyed it so much.

We did have to make room for the Terraria collaboration by shifting around updates, but frankly - the team really needed that time to do something different for a little while, and I think it was worth it. We're well on our way to some great content updates for 2022.

We have four more character refreshes we need to get through this year before we can move onto some more substantial plans we have for 2023. So our content updates this year will be mainly focused on setting the stage for what comes next.

However, it's worth noting that this roadmap is much more focused and established internally than in previous years as we focus to prepare for the next content arc.


We have a strong schedule ahead for 2022 that is intended on smoothing out the game in preparation for the next arc after finishing the next four character refreshes. This roadmap is actually going to stretch a little into 2023 as we finally refresh W... I mean.. the last character.

In addition to this, the QOL updates are planned to be more significant in such a way that they will affect how you play the game a bit more than previously. More details on that as we get closer to those coming out to a test branch in February.

• Year of the Catcoon + 2023 "Year of the...." event
  
• Four Character refreshes ending in Q1 2023
  
• Three QOL updates
  
• More Cawnival games and prizes
  
• Three "setting the stage" Content updates

As with previous updates we plan to have something out for players every month as well as streaming drops, Kleifest including significant additions to the Summer Cawnival as well as our regular holiday events.

Oh, that's not entirely it - Get ready to meet the Kitcoons in The Year of the Catcoon event on January 27th!

Till next time. Have fun out there everybody!

Winter’s Feast 2021 ornaments will drop
Fixed a crash when wolfgang drowns when working out on the gym

• Fixed missing skinned items on gym when it’s being used.

• Fixed a missing string when Wolfgang attempted to work out while hungry.
  
• Missing ornaments have been added to the game, and will be accessible in the next hotfix.
  
• A few items were missed from a couple of shop chests. We’re adding them to the chests now, and users that missed out will have the items added to their inventory. This retroactive granting of missed items will take place over the next 24 hours. We’ll also be granting some bonus Spools to the affected users as they may have lost out by weaving the items.
  
  • Added missing Wanda Merrymaker items to shop chests.
    
  • Added Woven variant of Wolfgang’s Riding Boots. This item will also be added to the appropriate Wolgang shop chests.

Today we have our next character refresh! We also have some new skins and a new short, new streaming drops, and the return of Winter’s Feast!

Wolfgang always prided himself on his strength, but after an embarrassing mishap reveals his might to be a touch exaggerated, he finds himself eager to accept any opportunity to get stronger… no matter how dubious the source.

• Instead of being directly connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
• Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster. He does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Mighty Wolfgang works faster when chopping wood, mining or hammering things
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang sanity rate changes depending on the number of friends and enemies in his company
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure
  
  • Player will need to use the gym to gain mightiness
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
    
  • Consumes hunger as players work out
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon

When we started these character refreshes, we approached them by saying "This is what we're adding to a character to make people who like that character like them more. We made X more X-like". In this case, we knew (as many players suspected) that Wolfgang was going to need a bit of a nerf. Obviously, that's going to cause some friction, so we approached Wolfgang in a way that would focus his role and improve on the character fantasy rather than just doing what he already did but better. The result is a character that is more specialized and focused on being "The Strong Man" both in and out of combat. We're still certainly keeping an eye on feedback, but we'd like you all to give it some time and let us know what you think.

Wolfgang Deluxe Wardrobe ($10.99): Including the new "The Incredible Strongman" skinset.
The Merrymaker Survivors Chest, Part II ($9.99) includes 6 new “Merrymaker” skin sets.

We're offering a new set of streaming drops over on Twitch.tv. Check out this post for details.

We’re getting ready to head out for holiday break soon, and then we’ll be right back to get everybody ready for The Year of the Catcoon event! Have a wonderful Winter’s Feast everyone!

Wolfgang has spent his life striving for ultimate strength, and despite the all-too-frequent frights the Constant has thrown at him, it has also provided ample opportunities to put his muscles to the test. With a training regimen as challenging as the world itself, Wolfgang will prove just why he holds the title of “The Incredible Strongman!”


Here are some of the details:

• Instead of being connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
• Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster
  
• Does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang now takes a 25% sanity penalty from the dark and from shadow creatures, but if he is in range of other survivors that penalty falls back down to 10%
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure, which allows him to work out and increase his Mightiness
  
  • Players need to engage in a minigame at the gym and the amount of mightiness gained depends on how well they do at it
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
• Consumes hunger as Wolfgang works out
  
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon

Of course with the character refresh we will get a new animated short, Winter's Feast returns and we'll also have a new Twitch item, the Topsy-Turvy Treehouse and adding a bunch of previously released skins to Klei Rewards.

See you Thursday!
