Hello Adventurers, we hope you all had a great holiday season and we wish you a belated Happy New Year! As you may have noticed Jon and I decided to take a much earned holiday break from active Wyvern development, and the good news is, we had a very relaxing time and the even better news is we’re back in active development toward the final 1.0 game launch.
The Day of Devotion Holiday Event
To kick things off, Tale of the White Wyvern is getting a new holiday event called “Day of Devotion.” Rather than explain it ourselves, we’re going to turn to the expert on Wyrmdoor traditions, Helga!
”The Day of Devotion is an annual celebration of love. Couples traditionally celebrate with gifts and delicious meals. The Inn of the Old Hen throws a party every year for anyone who doesn't have a partner to celebrate with. The Day of Devotion is celebrated from February 13 to February 15.”

Alongside the holiday event we created two new fun themes called “Day of Devotion” and “Night of Devotion.” We recommend turning your screen brightness all the way up and putting on some fuzzy slippers when you give those a try.
The Fishing Update
We are very focused on the Fishing update which has turned out to be the BIGGEST single content update Wyvern has ever recieved. When we described what’s coming to some of our friends and that it was taking much longer than we anticipated, one mentioned that it was because it sounded like we are building an all new game and that’s actually fairly accurate. One of our development goals with the Fishing update is to add a boatload(har har) of new content to keep longtime players busy exploring for quite some time. All that in mind we’re still in active development on it and it should take a bit longer to finalize things. Whereas this is a huge update that adds a lot of new mechanics to the game, we do plan on updating the game with fishing for everyone at the same time.

Cool, looks like the inn will throw me a party.
I'm surprised you mentioned version 1.0, because I honestly feel like the game is worthy of it already. I'm looking forward to fishing. I hope it's good.

I actually agree with you Greg. We're not waiting to get to 1.0 because we don't feel like the game isn't ready or not bug tested or anything. We're adding more features to sustainably support more users such that if we grew considerably, which we want to do, we could pay for keeping the servers rolling.
Plus I really wanted Fishing in the game before launch
> I'm looking forward to fishing. I hope it's good.
I like it, but it's an entirely optional thing that people don't need to do it if they don't want to. Like you say, the base game is already good, this just adds more if people want and I think most people will.
I've been looking forward to this update! Can't wait!
Jon and Travis, you guys have been doing a fantastic job. It's already such a great game and I love that you keep making it bigger and better :)
Thanks for the kind words!
❤️
