Whiskerwood 휘스커우드

Set Sail for the High Seas! Hello Everyone, My name is Daniel Dressler and I am the lead programmer on Whiskerwood. On behalf of myself and the team, I want to express our thanks for your support. About 4 months ago, I asked for your patience as we started work on our biggest update to Whiskerwood yet. And today is the day it ships! With the introduction of an expansive open ocean, this update charts a new chapter in Whiskerwood's core gameplay! Thanks to your feedback during Early Access, we've been able to design a better nautical feature that better integrates with our core in-island gameplay. Our original ideas for nautical gameplay missed critical opportunities we could only catch thanks to feedback from players. Thank you all again for your feedback on Whiskerwood, and your patience as we developed this update :) Daniel, Lead Programmer on Whiskerwood {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45107725/93bb66264f10221f9102949218b8af701b187610.png A Nautical World!We consider this update to be Act II of Whiskerwood. Until now, you've been playing Act I as you come to terms with living under the rule of the Claws, focusing on only your island and its place in the Colony System. Now you&

Hello, my name is Daniel, and I’m the lead programmer on Whiskerwood. Just over 3 months ago, I announced in our last update that we would spend the next 4+ months making a massive expansion to Whiskerwood’s gameplay... I am proud to announce that we are ahead of schedule and it'll go live on September 3rd. We have a clear runway to ship our update and are working on polishing and debugging. We still have many bugs to fix and many mechanics to iterate on, balance-wise, but the big features are written and implemented! Thus, I want to walk you through what we are adding to Whiskerwood and how it will change your gameplay. With special attention to how you should prepare your colonies. Namely: don’t block your main dock! ⚠️ Note on Save File Backward CompatibilityA number of players have asked if this update will break their existing save files. The answer to that is a big: NO! We’ve put a ton of work into supporting everyone’s existing islands. This means that even if you have a save file from the original version of Whiskerwood we launched in early access with, it should automatically upgrade to run in the new version of the game. Our goal is not to lose anyone’s save files. W

Here's a roundup of all the update news you might have missed, and a look at the new development roadmap! Whiskerwood is also part of the Hooded Horse May Publisher Sale at 35% off.

It added a new music track to Whiskerwood, produced by orchestral composer Lucas Ricciotti. This new track will play randomly after a colony has at least 100 Whiskers. The rest of the patch focused mostly on optimizations, with special attention paid to gameplay CPU logic. While computers limited by rendering might not see a significant change, but saves at a high whisker population should see noticeable FPS boosts. Make sure to check out the f

A Bigger Scope for the Next UpdateThank you everyone for playing our game! I want to give you all a heads up about our intermediate plans. You see, we've noticed players asking for a bigger scoped updates. A much bigger scope. Thus we've decided to focus for the next 4+ months on landing these big gameplay expansions.Why we are doing thisIf you are reading this during this development period: I want to reassure you that we are working hard! Whiskerwood is our passion project and we appreciate everyone who has given us their play time. For background: exactly 6 months ago we released Whiskerwood into Early Access. At that point we started doing daily patches while writing down every feature request and bug report. We soon after 2 weeks of daily patches the features commonly requested were getting bigger & bigger in scope. In hindsight this was a natural progression. When doing daily patches we could only destabilize the codebase for 1 day. That limited the size of tasks we could tackle. Thus we realized we needed to switch to larger patches in incremental steps.Thus we switched to weekly patches for several months, then switched to the current bi-weekly pace. Bi-weekly
