This site's comms have always been MASSIVELY disappointing, it's the thing they need to improve on the most. :/

I joined this game about a year ago and have loved every part of it, but I agree with you guys. The lack of communication really makes the site feel... abandoned. I looked through the old dev reports a while back and feel like those small reports really helped us! Just telling us some bug fixes, what's been added and removed, small stuff like that. I've seen one or two Lorwolf memes pop up- maybe make a post about one of those! Anything to let us know you guys are still present.

My hope for this site lies in whether or not this gets addressed. If we somehow make it all the way to April when the next major event starts, get new apparel, and still have no acknowledgement on this, I will know for a fact that LW is done for. There is very little care or consideration for users. If you have the time and energy to go through coding new apparel, you have the time and energy to come onto this thread and leave a single "We hear you". IT'S TEXT. Text is easier than drawing and coding!!!

I would also like to add my voice in with everyone else's as I share a lot of the concerns and worries of my fellow players!

(Everyone's already said what I was going to, but more eloquently. lol)

I wholly share this sentiment of Demon's, though. <3

I will remain because I carry hope, and I do love this game but a pleading howl from your community to just give us even just a distant reply would do wonders <3

I think the silence is my biggest point as well. I understand the team is busy with chapter two and Quiche is swamped with the CA queue and other things as well, but the silence is starting to stretch and it is definitely beginning to wear on your playerbase in a negative way. We don't need you to drop 10 genes immediately, we just want to hear from you! Talk to us!

To help with this, I would suggest bringing one or two more people on board to engage with the community on your behalf: Play some forum games, ask about people's wolves, chat, etc. - it would boost activity and then the core dev team can continue to work on updates undisturbed.

I would also hope for at least the apparel bug to get fixed, where sometimes wolves' apparel will not copy to clipboard, making it that much harder to show them off. That is the main way to generate hype and interest in the game to attract new players and to keep the current playerbase interested ("look at this neat wolf I made!" - "oh, I want one like that, I'll have to start grinding for the apparel!").

We who remain really want to see this site work. New and even some old people will come/come back in time once the site stabilises. You have a pretty dedicated community at your hands waiting for crumbs and with a little bit of engagement, this could be such a great site! Please, please, PLEASE reach out to us for some help and let's make Lorwolf take off together! For example, I would be happy to help out with art, especially genes, or the community engagement like I mentioned above, -- but I know there are a bunch of others who could lend a hand anywhere as well! Be it with the community, art, coding, some quality of life suggestions (like being able to hit Enter to search), etc.

We want this site to stick around for years, let's make it happen together!

Adding another comment- I think Starcrow makes a really good suggestion with bringing another staff member on solely for communicating with the community. I know tons of people here (including me) would love to do a job like that, to break the silence.

I think the staff needs to do this or just work on making themselves communicate better.
