Spring tidings, Lorfolk! Spring arrives, and the swamp blossoms to life in Loria. Thereâs much to unpack here in this Dev Update, so letâs dive in together.
What's new?
New Direwolf Breed
Murkwood Seasonal Event
New Content
Breed Showcase - Direwolf
Description:Â The Direwolf breed is a relic of the past. Once hailed as Luanaâs Warriors, modern Direwolves have now spread out further than just their native home of Murkwood. They are a large breed with dense wiry fur more akin to a Colpachâs pelt than other Loria breeds. They typically weigh between 95 to 140 pounds and stand 36 to 44 inches tall at the shoulder. They have a noticeably short tail, a large maw with equally huge teeth, and a powerful, heavy set of shoulders, which allows them to throw their entire weight on their foes, crushing them with both tooth and body. Their bite sports an array of deadly bacteria, making even just a graze enough to cause serious harm.
Behavior:Â Direwolves prefer to hunt alone, stalking their prey before rushing them in one fell swoop. Whilst they can be aloof, they have a soft spot for those who prove themselves in battle. With their focused and loyal personality, they make an impressive sparring partner. They have become accustomed to teaching other Lorwolves their ways and skills in modern times rather than remaining totally outcast from others.
Direwolves have long since stopped being Luanaâs Warriors, but when push comes to shove, Direwolves can call upon their roots and go into a battle frenzy. Power will course through them, buffing their already powerful abilities beyond their limits. After calling upon this power, a Direwolf will need to rest for several days. Direwolves can often be found sunning themselves on hot rocks or by fires after a particularly rough fight.
Check out our Direwolf Launch Raffle to enter the draw for a chance to win a Direwolf Breed Change.
Spring, swamp and skirmishes are the very essence of Murkwood. A red hue has overtaken Loria. With that, the Murkwood Seasonal Event has begun! New apparel, new companions, Murkwoodâs Consumed and new forum decor. Check out the lore page of Murkwoodâs encounter with The Consumed here and the entire event post here.
Leopard and Plain Patterns
As requested by Lorfolk feedback, the Plain pattern has arrived to let your wolves' natural bases shine. Create more unique combinations to get your wolves precisely the way you want them. You can purchase these patterns at the Mole Market for 20k pebbles.
Quillaras, Apparel, and Totem of Whelping
They're dainty-looking, yet they have a glare meaner than an angry Nytha. Donât fall too much for their cuteness; theyâll happily take a bite if you rub them the wrong way. These grumpy little fluffballs are available in the Mole Market for 100ms.
Totem of Whelping
Lorfolk can now purchase a Totem of Whelping speciality item from the Mole Market, which bypasses the pregnancy cooldown and triggers birth immediately. The Totem of Whelping can be used via a player's inventory; simply select the item and click "Use." Players will then select the expecting wolf they wish to give birth, which will then immediately send the wolf to the Nest. From the nest, you can then click âGive Birth.â
New Apparel
Are teeth and claws not enough to show how fearsome you are? Get tough with the brand-new Spiked Collar apparel. Spiked Collars recipes are available in the Mole Market to purchase.

Happy New Year, Lorfolk!
We're thrilled to kick off 2024 with a slew of new updates, including the Cooking Camp and Farming Festival weekly events and details about our inaugural seasonal event, showcasing the frosty battlefield of Icerun!
Icerun Seasonal Event
A winter's chill is in the air⌠the Icerun Seasonal event has begun!
Lore:
Rumours speak of a darkness that has touched the most desolate border of Icerun. Elders speak out, recounting old tales from their ancestors. Chaos, the malevolent force that once haunted Loria centuries ago, has resurfaced. No creature is free from his influence, and those that are too slow to escape become possessed, or as the lorwolves call them, "The Consumed." Rally your pack and join the Icerun fight against the first chaotic whispers that threaten to shake Loria to its core. Read about Icerunâs first encounter with The Consumed here.
How the Icerun Seasonal Event works:
During the entire month of January, players can earn Icerun Vouchers by completing various activities around the site. These Icerun Vouchers can be spent within the Icerun Seasonal Event Shop.
How to earn Icerun Vouchers:
Releasing Wolves
During this event, Icerun Vouchers are rewarded by releasing wolves to help fend off The Consumed along Icerun Borders. Icerun players will also earn double Icerun Seasonal Vouchers when releasing wolves. Go to any wolf page and click on the Tree symbol to release wolves.
Seasonal Activities
You can locate these Seasonal Activities on your Activity bar by selecting the switch button on the top right, as well as the Icerun Seasonal Page under the Play dropdown. Like daily Activities, more Seasonal Activities will appear on the taskbar after completion.
Battlepass
Completing the above Icerun Seasonal Activities will award points towards your seasonal Battlepass, level up your Battlepass to earn rewards and additional tickets. Note: players may have made some progress in the Seasonal event before release, so some seasonal activities may show as completed.
You can also unlock a premium version of the pass for 200,000 pebbles to unlock the Epic Frostbitten Winter Hunter Set. Optional copies can also be bought for Seasonal Vouchers.
Games
Icerun Arena: A PvE version of the site's regular Arena mini-game. Players can fight against 5 packs of The Consumed with no time limit between rounds. Stand above The Consumed and take 1st Place for 5 Seasonal Vouchers. Note: We are aware of the bug with the rewards showing the wrong typo placement rankings. This is a visual bug, however the rewards are correct.
Icerun Trials:Â A version of the Gauntlet mini-game where players fight consumed enemies. Reorganise your team between rounds to push yourself to the limits. This game differs from the original, however, in that beating and earning rewards for each round can only be done once per seasonal event. How far will you go this season?
New Companions have surfaced in Icerun!
The Crystalapins and Frostspinners have been spotted across Icerun. Collect these seasonal companions available for Seasonal Vouchers in the Icerun Seasonal Shop.
The Consumed are available to recruit
Are your lorwolves hopeful to aid, curious researchers or perhaps⌠agents of Chaos? No matter their interests, some of the Consumed Companions are willing to join your pack. You can find them available for Seasonal Vouchers in the Icerun Seasonal Shop. The question now is will you be able to resist the temptation of Chaos that they bring?
Seasonal Apparel
Grateful for your help on the Icerun border, Icerun locals have set up apparel to buy for Seasonal Vouchers. Keep warm with the Winter Hunt outfit sets and take a break to celebrate winter activities with a Snowwolf and Poinsettias.
As this is our very first seasonal event, we welcome any and all feedback on how it can be improved in the Suggestion Forums. We aim to continue building upon these seasonal events and site lore as time passes, with more new items and gameplay to enjoy.
Cooking
Our team was on vacation during the last Cooking Camp update. However, we were able to introduce a variety of new foods and recipes to cooking!
Players can now cook the following recipes:
Nori, Flaxseed Oil, Blond Flour, Sugar, Cream, Butter, Yoghurt, Cheese, Cashew Cheese, Banana Bread, Walnut Bread, Plain Bread, Rye Bread, Buttered Bread, Honey Rye Bread, Cinnamon Pretzel, Salted Pretzel, Settler's Panda Bun, Traveller's Panda Bun, Mika Pudding, Guppy Bites, Baked Potatoes, and Roasted Potatoes.
Farming
In addition to these new foods and recipes, the Farming Festival is also getting a few updates. Cotton, Leeks, Flax, Turnips, and Potatoes can now be farmed throughout Loria! Seeds for these new crops can be found in the Farming Festival Shop or occasionally in the Mole Market.
Lormusic
In other news, Lorwolf's first official soundtrack is out now! One of JimJim's favorite hobbies is creating music, so over the past year, he and Swell have thrown together a mix of songs to help bring Lorwolf to life. The album contains 14 short songs and is available in-game and on streaming services. The music player (seen at the bottom right of the game's window) can be used to listen to the music while you play. Additional songs are planned as unlockable content in future updates, so stay tuned. Check out our album on Spotify (Opens in new window or tab)!
Discord
In our continuous goal to strengthen and keep our communications and community-building efforts consistent to Lorfolk, we are sad to say that we have some difficult news to share with everyone - on Saturday, January 6th, we will be closing the official Lorwolf Discord server to the public. This was not an easy decision to make, nor one we take lightly, as we've enjoyed watching this community grow and flourish over the years, and Discord has always been a huge part of that. However, over the past few months, the server has outgrown our modest team's ability to manage it effectively. We understand that this news may be incredibly disappointing to some, and while we are deeply sorry for any negative feelings this may cause, we believe it is in the best interest of the development of the site and for our community moving forward. We hope this gives everyone enough time to wrap up any trades and conversations they may have within the server. While the Discord is closing, more focus will be assigned on keeping communications with our community onsite clear and open. With everyone in one place, we aim to foster a stronger bond between our staff, moderators and players.
Thank you all for your feedback across discussions, suggestion threads and Support Tickets. We look forward to the future of Loria hand in hand with our community.
Good luck on the Icerun borders, Lorfolk!

We're back! Apologies for the radio silence over the past few months, we're pleased to say that JimJim's arm has been healing well and is almost entirely recovered. Our team has been hard at work building, testing, and creating art assets for the achievement system - and we're pleased to announce that it will be launching today as soon as the scheduled maintenance has concluded!
We've also taken this time to go back and address some of the bugs and issues that have been reported. Recent code changes have been recorded in the latest Patch Notes 1.1.6.
It's finally ready; achievements have just landed in the world of Loria! Players can track their progress as they complete goals and unlock achievement-exclusive rewards through everyday, regular gameplay. Navigate to the Achievements page from the Den menu:
Achievements have been divided into four subcategories - General, Gameplay, Professions, and Den. If you have an achievement reward available to claim, it will display as a small red dot next to the tab name.
General: For completion of general gameplay tasks such as achievements completed, weekly activities completed, etc.
Starter: A category to help onboard new players to the game. Apparel items awarded in this category are not soulbound, and can also be purchased from Marvin's Mole Market.
Gameplay: Includes Arena, Campaign, Gauntlet, and Pageant tasks and awards several different exclusive apparel sets and recipes.
Professions: Covers every profession and awards weekly event vouchers.
Den: A category for miscellaneous tasks such as inventory management, wolf breeding, etc.
Completing an achievement may grant any of the following: Achievement points, Moonstones, Pebbles, Forum titles, Companions, apparel items, food, materials, and more. (As a side note, this update has almost doubled the total number of official game apparel!) Once an achievement has been claimed, it will be sent to the player via Notifications.
Achievement points and titles will display below a player's profile within the Forums. Titles can be set from the Account Settings page.
Some final notes:
Due to this being the very first iteration of Achievements, the majority of player progress made prior to this update can not be backdated. Achievements such as profession and companion level will be updated automatically by the system. Moving forward, players should expect some adjustments as we continuously work to ensure a fair and rewarding experience. We've set the rewards and requirements according to the predicted data of an average player who logs in over the course of a year, but this may change as more players engage with the feature and provide feedback. Some achievements will be met relatively quickly, while others are to be earned over paced regular gameplay. We plan to add even more achievements and rewards as the site and its features grow to ensure the average player always has something to work towards. We welcome any and all gameplay suggestions from our community to be posted in the Suggestions Forum.
New Recipe Search and Mining Ore
A new search, sort, and pager feature have been added to both the Crafting and Cooking professions. Now, players can easily search and sort through their ever-expanding list of recipes without having to scroll through the entire page.
It's time to collect all the shinies - precious gemstones can now be mined throughout the caves of Loria! Players can now rarely find Sapphire, Ruby, Amethyst, Citrine, and Emerald gems. As of now, these gems can be used to craft the exclusive Achievement daggers. We plan to release many new crafting recipes and apparel items featuring these rare gems.
New Breed Sneak Peak
Shown above are a couple sketch ideas for Lorwolf's upcoming wolf breed - Direwolves! We're aiming for this breed to be big, bulky, and powerful; with massive fangs and a short bob-tail. It will be similar to lynx cats in appearance and will have a special affinity for nature and ancient magic.
In other news, our annual Black Friday sale returns next week; more info about that will be coming soon! Thank you for sticking with us, especially when development may seem slower than usual. Our small yet passionate development team is committed to bringing the best experience to our players. We are so proud of how far we've come, and we want to thank you for your continued patience.
Moonsblessings,
Alaunis, JimJim, and Swell

September News
Hey everyone, Alaunis here bringing some September news. Our team has been working hard preparing for the September Dev Update and 1.1.6 Patch Notes. We are extremely excited to share these updates with you as soon as they are ready. Here's what we've been working on over the past month:
Art Team
Our new artists have been settling into the team well and have been working on the following:
New pebble apparel and companions
Darkspine Event apparel
Achievement assets
Code Team
Site-wide bug fixes
Achievement rebalancing, testing and bug fixes
Darkspine event framework building
Support Team
Custom Apparel Training has been completed. We are monitoring the current CA queue to ensure it is running smoothly.

We will be releasing patch notes 1.1.6 around the middle of September, which will include numerous site-wide fixes and updates. These will include some long-awaited bug squishing and improvements to our mobile player experience. Additionally, we plan on having an hour or two of downtime shortly before the Achievement system releases - during which time the site will be unavailable. We will be sure to share further information about this as we get closer to the release date (TBD). I want to thank you for your continued patience as we focus our efforts on these updates. For now, here's a tiny glimpse of what's to come this September:

Achievements Delay
Dear Lorfolk,
We have important news regarding Lorwolfâs achievement system.
We are humbled by our playersâ support, and we know that you have been patiently waiting for Augustâs development update - including the achievement system release. However, thereâs still work to be done.
To ensure the achievement system can shine, we need just a bit more time fixing and polishing this new system, whilst also caring for the well-being of the team. Therefore we have made the decision to shift the achievement systemâs launch date to September.
While not an easy decision to make, we know this is the best way forward for the longevity of Lorwolf. We share in the disappointment and apologize for making you wait just a little bit longer. We want the best for our community, and this extension will give us the precious time needed to focus on delivering an effective system.Â
In the meantime, the Coding Team will be focusing on player feedback to squash more bugs and improve gameplay during the remainder of August.
To help bring even more content to the game, weâve recently hired two more artists. Please join us in welcoming Haunt (he/him) and Pancake (she/her) to the Artist Team! With these new additions, we are excited to begin producing more of the planned pebble apparel, items, and companions.
Thank you for your support and understanding. Weâre looking forward to sharing more details with you as we draw closer to September. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team. We're here to assist you in any way we can.
Moonsblessings,
The Lorwolf Team

We hope everyone has been enjoying their summer so far. We're excited to bring you some new updates for the month of July! To start off, the achievement system's launch date has been set for Saturday, August 6th. After a few more weeks of testing and balancing, we look forward to unveiling this highly anticipated feature. To see a full list of everything that was updated recently, check out the Patch Notes.
What's new?
Poll Results & Roadmap Update
Refer-A-Friend Feature
Puppy/Bloodline Predictor
New Profession Poll Results & Roadmap Update
Points have been tallied, Archaeology won the poll with an impressive 52% of votes! Players will be able to embark on a treasure hunt using the archaeology profession to unearth ancient artifacts and hidden rewards. As shown in the updated roadmap below, production is set to start the beginning of October:
Additionally, coding work on the inventory vault mechanic will begin in December. Based on player feedback, we have decided to implement a vault feature independent from the banking profession. This vault will allow players to set aside precious items, providing a secure space within their den to store and safeguard their treasures.
The roadmap has been adjusted according to our ever-evolving development goals. Now that the Puppy Predictor and Forums revamp have been completed, the code team has adjusted their plans to include the new Archaeology profession and Inventory Vault projects. The Mole Market Revamp project has been extended to last through the month of August.
As a reminder, we still plan on implementing the other two professions in the poll (Banking and Ranger), but at a later stage.
Refer-A-Friend Feature
We're very excited to unveil Lorwolf's brand new Refer-A-Friend feature - simply invite your friends to play Lorwolf and earn rewards!
How it works:
As of today, new users can add a referrer when registering for an account. Simply send your unique referral link to a friend and receive 100 Moonwater once they have created an account. Then, once your friend has achieved a total Companion level of 50 or higher, you can claim 1 Refer-A-Friend Companion. Please note that players cannot make referrals retroactively, i.e., those that have already registered for an account cannot add a referrer. The Refer-A-Friend section can be found on the Profile page.
Rewards:
Referrals automatically grant 100 Moonwater to both the referrer and the referee. To receive an Orthrus Companion, the referred player must achieve a total Companion level of 50 or above. After this requirement has been met, both players can claim one Refer-A-Friend Companion of their choice - the Wildtail, Eclipsed, or Rustfluff Orthrus. The Glintfire and Starlume versions may be claimed once the player has referred at least three people. All versions are soulbound and limited to 1 of each per account.
Puppy/Bloodline Predictor
We're thrilled to share that our Wolf Demo has been given an exciting upgrade! In this enhanced version, players now have the ability to create new wolves, store their unique designs, and predict puppy genetics, including full color ranges.
How it works:
Save any of your Wolf Demo designs by clicking the green "Save Current" button. Saved designs can easily be re-loaded into the demo, or used in the Puppy Predictor. The Puppy Predictor allows players to input one male and one female wolf design to check for inbreeding and generate the pair's potential offspring including the color ranges and their genetic traits.
Speaking of puppies, the code team has enabled the use of specialty items on puppies due to popular demand. Puppies will now display on the wolf selection modal when selecting a specialty item to use.
We hope you have a blast using the new demo, and we invite you to share your designs with us and the community on social media by tagging @Lorwolf!

Greetings everywolf, it brings us great joy to celebrate Lorwolf's one week anniversary! We hope you have been thoroughly enjoying your experience thus far, keep reading to find out what we have planned next:Â
Game News
Polling System
Upcoming Achievements System
Game News
What an amazing start, over 5,000 accounts have registered, 17,000 wolves created/found, and 4,300 puppies born since launch! The Custom Apparel store has been positively flooded with apparel pieces designed by our talented players, with over 325 Custom Apparel Tokens submitted and many more on the way! We are amazed by this communityâs creativity, and we are so excited to see the shop continue to grow over time.Â
In other news, we've been hard at work on the Wild Wolf befriend feature. Once finished, players will be awarded a Knucklebone Token after a failed Befriend Wild Wolf scenario. These tokens can then be exchanged for a free, randomly generated Wild Wolf. We hope this alleviates some concerns about the low rates of success for this scenario.Â
Lorwolf is hiring additional volunteer Discord moderators! If youâd like to join our growing team, head over to the Careers page for more information on how to apply:
https://www.lorwolf.com/Careers
Player Polls
We have also received feedback that our communication has been somewhat lacking since launch. We take this feedback seriously and are actively working on improving our communication channels with clearer and more concise avenues for players to see developer activity and news.Â
Additionally, weâve begun work on a new Player Poll system, which will let users vote on important game development decisions. Through these polls, we aim to foster a more structured approach to decision-making, ensuring that our development efforts align closely with the preferences and expectations of our community. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive towards better transparency with our valued players. Weâll be sharing more on this during following development updates so stay tuned!Â
New Achievements System
One highly requested feature we have had since our early testing phases was an achievement system. We are delighted to announce that the achievement system is well on its way, and we hope to have it completed within the next month!Â
This new system will offer various rewards, including Moonstones/Pebbles and unique badge ranks for every goal achieved. To help you keep track of your progress, we will be adding a dedicated Achievements page where all rewards and achievements will be listed. As a special bonus, a select number of these badges will be displayed automatically on all user forums, so you can proudly showcase your accomplishments with the entire community!
Here is a sneak peak of these badges, featuring Farming Rank 1 and how it could display on the forums:Â
Additionally, weâve updated our old Forum ranks to reflect the new pixel badge design:Â
Thanks all for an amazing launch, we look forward to the future as we continue to grow and learn together with our players. Moonsblessings and happy hunting!Â

Hey all,
Alaunis here. Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share. Within the past few months, Iâve faced a series of personal challenges in my life which have set back my development progress significantly. After much thought and deliberation, weâve decided to push back the full launch of Lorwolf until May 6, 2023.Â
This was not an easy decision to make, especially considering how close the game is to being launch-ready, and how excited we were for it to finally open. In the end, however, I feel this is the best way forward, both for my own wellbeing and the long-term health of Lorwolf. Having one more month will give me the time I need to finish what weâve started.Â
Iâm especially sorry for the late notice and for those whoâve already made plans around it, we only very recently came to this decision after a lot of back and forth. The new launch date will be on a Saturday, which should hopefully work with most peopleâs schedules.
Again, thank you for your patience, I hope to see you back in Loria in just a few more weeks.Â
<3 Alaunis
P.S. this is NOT an April fools joke, just bad timing on our part.

Awoo! Spring is coming! Murkwood is thriving with the energy of spring and the swamps bloom to life. The chorus of frogs fill the air as flowers blossom out across the bogs, marshes and pits. Water voles run along the riversides, bird song returns as they migrate back to the warmer weather and bats shake off their hibernation to fill the evening skies. From catkins budding on the willows to the crimson buds of wych elms, the wetlands burst with colour.
And with spring comes tying up loose ends and organising our spaces. Thereâs so much to do before launch comes round! Finishing den lore weâve put off. Saving wolf profiles for launch. Crafting customs for our starters. Deciding our future breeding projects. Drawing page breaks and shop fronts or scenes from our lore.
Thatâs why with the help of Kate and MaggotJuiceBox, weâre hosting Lorch! A month long creative challenge revolving around Lorwolf with a spring twist. Every day during March, anyone who wants to participate in this challenge creates either a drawing, writing or any other creative task involving their wolves or Lorwolf in general and post it online.
Weâve put together 31 days of prompts to get the creative juices going. (See above.)
Not liking some of the prompts? Hereâs a word bank you can replace any of the days with:
Transition - Rejuvenation - Sprout - Flora - Growth - Dew - Forest - Fountain - Home - Tidy - Breathe - Expand - Hope - Freedom - Voyage - Wonder - Energy - Alchemy - Delight - Acceptance
Rules:
You can post your submissions on Tumblr, in the Lorwolfâs Discord Lorch Channel under contest/challenges, or Lorch forum.
All creative tasks are counted, however irl activities like baking, knitting, woodwork, and clay-making do require an irl photo.
For written pieces: The minimum word count is 250 words. (The exception is poetry, but you must spend at least 30 minutes on your poem.)
All creative tasks must be created by you specifically for this event.
Prizes:
Prizes will be given as a code to use at launch!
Creative Task Ideas:
Aside from drawing and writing, thereâs plenty of other ways to join in on Lorch. Creative Tasks can include cross-stitching, paper-folding, creating a tune, paper mosaics, crochet, scrap-booking, ceramics, cake decorating, making tea blends and jewellery. As long as it can be tied in to the prompts and Lorwolf, your den, lore or wolves, itâs a great task to do.
Donât forget to tag your submissions with #Lor-ch or tag @quichelewoofâ if posting on Tumblr, so others can find your wonderful creations and they can be tallied towards your prizes.

Official Launch Plans and Development Timeline
Itâs finally happening, after nearly 4 years of development, a successful Kickstarter, and multiple testing phases, we are super duper excited to announce that Lorwolf is officially launching on Thursday, April 6th 2023!Â
On our list of things to tackle are player suggestions, including the puppy predictor and many other QoL improvements. Even with the game launching soon, development is ongoing and will continue even after the full launch. As always, thank you for your patience as we continue tinkering behind the scenes.Â
Shown below is our Development Timeline including important dates to be aware of. Specific launch times will be determined as we get closer to April. Please note: all info shown in the graphic is subject to change!Â
Early Access Closing Information
Early Access will be closing on Thursday, March 9, 2023. All early access player accounts will be wiped (including all inventories, wolves, etc.) and the game will be reset.Â
Listed below are other important details to be aware of:Â
Players will not be able to log back in to their accounts until official launch on April 6, 2023.Â
Cross-site trade deals must take place on April 6 or later.Â
Moonstone purchases will be restored to player accounts in the form of a game credit.Â
Item codes (from the Kickstarter, Shopify purchases, Alpha/Beta testing, etc.) can be re-used during official launch.Â
Custom apparel items that were accepted during early access will need to be resubmitted during official launch.

New Hunting NPCs - Stella and Coco
Ahoy there! A pair of sea dogs have just landed upon the shores of Loria. Captain Stella and her rambunctious little sister Coco come from far away lands in search of riches and new adventures. Their close ties with each of the packs means they always have the latest news on beast, monster, and treasure hunting locations. Check back daily to see what new missions are available!Â
