It's Lunar New Year, and we're digging deep! To mark the Year of the Depths Worm we've added a hunt for the Guilded Depths Worm, new skins, new streaming items, and a new limited-time login bonus.

Highlights

• Hunt the exotic Gilded Depths Worm to harvest Lucky Gold Nuggets.
• Craft the Depths Worm Shrine and enjoy the new Jubilantern Posts along with the usual festive options.
• Collect further Lucky Gold Nuggets by scrapping with the other serpentine friends deep in the caves.

Skins



Masquerader Survivors Chest, Part III ($8.99 / 16 RMB)
This Masquerader Chest contains skins for: Wendy, Winona, WX-78, Webber, and Wickerbottom.

Streaming Drops!



The Rose Thorn Trap skin for the Tooth Trap joins the Rose collection. Check out the post for more details

Login Bonus!



For a limited time players that log in during the Year of the Depths Worm event will receive the Quilted Breezy Vest when logging into the game for the first time during the event. This is a limited-time item, don't miss out!

It's a new year!
The hold on the Wendy, Wortox, and Walter skill update has created a scenario in which we have to juggle some updates a bit to prevent further disruption. As discussed previously, we wanted to better address the skill trees but we also have to make sure we're delivering on the other updates that we were already working on. Most of Wendy's changes are in the beta update today, leaving the Woby changes to Walters Skill trees to come a short while after. So it's going to be a bit longer before the whole update is released fully. We want to ensure that the result of the extra time spent on this update is that last year had one less update and not that this year (or both) is short an update. 

We'll have more information about when that update is going out pretty soon. 

On that note, as we do every January, we are also taking some time to look at the previous year and the year ahead of us, what we want to accomplish for the game and the studio as a whole, and how to best adjust our plans accordingly.

We're pretty much set to go and almost ready to share a new update plan (roadmap) with everybody, very soon. We're pretty excited, and we think you're going to be too. 

See you then!

• Improved behaviour when trying to decorate a Snowman using items from your backpack or other containers.

• Fixed crash if the first footstep you take after spawning in is to roll a Snowball.

And that's all for now.
Lots of team vacations have come to an end and we're back up and running as usual and currently working on Character Skillsets for the next update that we are aiming for in December. So feel free to post your suggestions and speculations. We'll probably tease a little info at Intermission time in October!

Have fun out there!

Hey everybody.

It's intermission time again; A time to sit back and reflect on adventures past and dream of adventures yet to come.

We're glad you all enjoyed our last animated short "Projector". These shorts give players a peek behind the motivations of our survivors and who they are, not just where they came from or how they got here. Some may be backstories and some side stories, but today it's a little bit of both.



Some things, once lost, are gone forever... but how will you know for sure unless you keep searching?



The Catcoon Nap Sack Fur Roll skin is available as a limited time login bonus. Just log into the game to get yours!




The Rose Bushel Potted Fern skin is available by watching participating Ambassador streams on Twitch.tv. For more details, check out the post here.





A selection of Vignettes has been added to the game as well. Keep up those vignette suggestions when you see them and we'll keep adding them.

There are no Klei Points today. Instead, for Intermissions we're going to be giving you spool. So - pick out something nice for yourself, it's on us.

The team is currently working on a bunch of Cave content for you. We can't quite call this one a QOL - this is shadow related content that will introduce a bunch of new threats and rewards to the caves.

We'll want to talk about that pretty soon, so in a few weeks, we'll have some more information for you. Maybe in a post, maybe a stream, maybe a beta? Who knows what we'll do?! Well, we do. But we'll tell you later.

Have fun out there!
