Dev updates, roadmap and general communication questions

Hello! Just wanted to query what’s going on with the dev updates as the last one we had was in September and I don’t remember seeing anything in the news posts to say that we would no longer be getting these updates.


Also question about the roadmap, this was posted last year and we are now caught up to the end of that roadmap which was December, will we be seeing a new roadmap for the site to advise users on timescales for when to expect content to be released?


One more thing, would it be possible to get more communication overall from the devs? I’ll be honest the lack of communication in general over the last 6 months or so is starting to make me rather concerned about the longevity of this site, the number of users on site is steadily dropping and this is becoming rather noticeable around areas of the site like the marketplace.

Not to say this is a direct result of a lack of communication but without information on future content or monthly updates there’s less and less to keep users engaged with the site and keep the hype for the site going, which will in turn cause users to lose interest.

Yeah I frankly kind of lost motivation to play since it doesn't feel like much of anything is happening here outside of automated events every week pretty much. It's not that content needs to come rapidfire, but a lack of communication and even just touching base with the community just doesn't really bode well.

Hi, it's me— that silly person who's a little too obsessed with green and loves making funny-marking CAs. You all know me. I've been here since beta, following Lorwolf’s development even before that. I still remember the excitement and absolute joy I felt when I first discovered this adorable little pet site. I love everything about it—the creativity, the community, and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

But there’s one major issue that myself, and the few hundred of us who still actively play, just can’t ignore anymore: the complete lack of communication.

We know the devs are still here, working behind the scenes, and we truly appreciate all that you do. But I think I speak for many of us when I say that we’re exhausted by yet another round of the "Great Silence." It’s disheartening to be left in the dark, wondering what’s happening with the game we love.

To the devs, mods, artists, and coders—this isn’t personal. We know you’re doing your jobs, and we’re grateful for your hard work. But please, can we get some communication? Any updates at all? It doesn’t have to be much—just a few sentences a week, or a paragraph a month would make a world of difference. A quick note about site development, upcoming features, or even small fixes would go such a long way in reassuring the community.

Lorwolf is a place I’ve grown to love, and this community means so much to me. It’s incredibly sad to see where things are now, with so many players feeling unheard and disconnected. We understand that life happens, that challenges arise—but please, just talk to us. That’s all we’re asking for.

P.S. Also… no one updated the Mole Market for Valentine’s Day this year. Just saying.

I have been getting a bit worried myself with how quiet things have been. I know Chapter 2 is probably taking up most of the development time, but we have only gotten 1 non-seasonal event update since last June. We used to get monthly patch notes/updates, but that has become nonexistent. I love this site and want it to succeed, but I keep seeing people leave because of how quiet it is. With Valentine's being ignored this year, I am just a little concerned.


If you can only do one large (non-seasonal) update a year I would love to know just so I can set my expectations. I really think a small update every month (even if just simple recolors) would go a long way to keep your userbase engaged.

I'm not very eloquent but I second a lot of what Nichie just said. The current content is enough to keep me interested but the lack of hearing from devs consistently (It can even just be a 'Hello!', it doesn't have to be about new content) would put me more at ease and make it feel like less of a Ghost Town vibe.

I think these are important questions and just wanted to second everyone above. I find myself worried that no one from the team is going to reply.

Definitely agree with many of the sentiments that previous posts have brought up.

I am fully content to wait for however long it takes new items and features to be added, and I understand the effort that goes towards making them a reality, but like...can we have some progress updates, at least? Maybe even some teasers? I get not wanting to spoil any big story stuff, but not showing off anything at all just kills the hype tbh.

The lack of communication extends beyond just new content as well, with bugs and other concerns going without answer or conclusion for so long that I'm starting to question the site's future.

Hello! I agree with much of what has been said.

The remaining players here love this site and our wolves. The lack of communication is really... dividing. It is causing a rift and making people leave. I would love if we could repair the gap between player base and the staff/devs and strengthen that relationship. It would be even cooler to see you guys around outside of the automated posts, maybe some small events (like maybe theme of the week/month and we post our wolves and then the devs pick some to win in the next announcement but it is just for fun/no prizes) that or something to unite us all (asking for a lot -- I know ;v;/ ), or whatever you guys have time to do.


Don't have to do anything I said, but would love to just... have more communication and actually see some of the devs around/active in some capacity.


All of the above is said with utmost genuine concern and kindness.

Adding my support and desire to hear some communication as well. I'd really like to see something like at least a little update widget on the main page where we can see little blurbs, fixes, and updates from the team. Just mini announcements and backend stuff that may not justify a full news post. It would definitely help to keep this place from feeling too quiet and . . . I guess I don't know how to put this lightly, but abandoned?

Don't get me wrong. I love this site, and I want to see it flourish again. I've greatly enjoyed pursing my achievements and collecting all of the companions, but this place is going to fizzle out without more communication or some form of update outside of automated weekly event alerts. We didn't get a Black Friday sale, we didn't get any new Valentine's items, nor even the old items featured. Not only that, but we didn't get any word that these things wouldn't be coming back. It feels like they were either forgotten or not cared about.

I'm not jumping ship just yet--I enjoy this site and still have goals I want to keep playing--but some changes or increased communication would be greatly appreciated. I really want to recommend this site to more of my friends, and I want to see future updates and story progressions. Mini updates don't have to be flashy or involved, they can just be small item additions, bug fixes, etc. Just little additions to the game to show that it's being worked on, and the staff are still active behind the scenes. Or maybe hiring a community manager? Someone to be more social and interactive, to relay concerns and feedback and keep in touch with both the team and the community?

I agree wholeheartedly with everything that's been posted. I'd love to see more engagement from the devs, but I've personally made peace with the fact that the game we have is the game we have. I've invested money in LW just like a lot of users by a previous monthly membership and occasionally buying premium currency. Not a huge amount, mind you, but enough to be interested in LW's future.

However, this is such a long running issue and posts like this keep coming up that honestly I don't see it changing. For whatever reason, for better or worse, this is the way it is. No shade, no criticism, just acknowledgement.

I now concentrate on playing solo, don't expect anything to happen, and enjoy what's here. Sometimes I take a break until I'm interested again and come back. If there's an update or new content, that's a bonus. :)

I agree with everyone as well. The lack of communication is really disheartening.

I would be alright if the mods at least said hello occasionally. But it feels like it's been radio silence for a long time besides automated updates.

This site is amazing, but I keep taking longer and longer breaks because nothing is going on. Like multiple others have mentioned, no black Friday sale, no Valentine's things, not even any small updates (as far as I'm aware). It sort of feels like this site has been abandoned, if not for moderators still responding to reports luckily.

I love this site and I really, really hope it improves a bit soon.
