Thank you all for your hard work, your patience and care :) Our little world sure could use a bit of a buzz to add a new Dwaal generation !
We have planned two live events, both online and in real life, one will be at Indiecade, where we will need to maintain a universe for 4 days ! If you want in, send us a message, either here or any media you use.
The other event, THE GATHERING OF FLOWERS, will be organized on october 3rd, in Pittsburgh. We will personally pick the players who will play if they accept.
The game is in good shape, although we all know that we're not populated enough to create a sustainable model. We're are nearly at the bottom of our feature list (two poses are still missing, levels need to be integrated and the Paash system), but we have a lot of work on the UI, a technical matter that needs to be resolved asap. The last thing to go inside the game will be the story, we already have the tutorial almost ready to ship, the rest will follow.
Thank you so much for staying with us, it's been a rocky ride, but we made it so far and we are delighted and honor to do this with you, girls and guys. You rock.
Back to work !
Love
THE BEAUTY PATCH #35
Wait. What's that ? A mirror ?
What can you do with it ?
Get a new leaf on your head ? A flower ?
Really ?
Can I have them all, please ??
PLEEEEEAASE....
You got it, right ? You can now customize yourself in front of your mirror ! You will have to unlock them if you want to use them. And who knows, maybe fashion will be a way of organizing people :)
In other news : you no longer lose Zaaz when you die :) Lucky Ones :)
Talk to you soon, we have some great news to share !
THE PARACHUTE UPDATE #34

THE EXPERIENCE UPDATE #32
As promised, we have finally changed the complete experience system of Kwaan. It will take a couple of weeks to be finalized but here is the main backbone of the system : you can get experience points by doing three different types of things : main quests, side quests and world actions. Right now we are only implementing the Side Quest system, It replaces the old challenges you used to get everyday. You can collect them on three NPCs (find out who), and have three at the same time (each side quest has a timer). The experience you get from them will inform your Level. Every level, you will get one Skill Point (SP) to spend on your skills. Feel free to give us you feedback as we refine the system ! Next step : gaining experience points with actions, like dancing, cleaning dirt and meditating !
Also : this update is a massive RESET on all previous characters. Sorry folks ! A good time to learn the beginner's mind :)
Also, as alway, a couple of fixes :
- Carry on Meditation during phase change
- New NPCs giving quests !
- New construct : a sweat hut ! (with a very special guest in it)
- Added a Baaf in the underground cave
- Better size and placement of Dirt
- Fix on the zone under Kwaan : Item now disappear and pollution will appear
- +1 Maana after Baaf
That's all folks ! Keep us posted :)
APOCALYPSE INCOMING
Talk soon !

Hey ! A cause de la mise à jour imminente du nouveau système de XP au prochain update, nous allons devoir faire un Reset de vos skills et points de XP. Nous savons que vous avez passé du temps à monter vos persos, mais nous n'avons pas le choix : le système actuel n'est pas assez solide. On va trouver un moyen de se racheter !
A vite !
