Tale of the White Wyvern Development Blog

Holy carp, I'm selling fish for about 2 million gold! 💰

If you lose a fight to a fish, do you lose your gold on hand, too? I think so, but I don't want to test it to find out.

I did not. I did lose the fish I had caught though.

>I did not. I did lose the fish I had caught though.

It's been a while since I lost to a fish. I remembered that you lose all fish on hand and all remaining attempts to catch a fish. I just couldn't remember if you lost gold, too. Thanks for the reply! I've realized not to keep more than one fish on hand, so that I don't potentially lose any. I've also just been immediately depositing the gold I get from selling fish, just in case.

Awesome! I should have thought to look there. Thanks! You guys have done a wonderful and thorough job! You should be very proud of yourselves!

>I told Travis that I think Wyvern is the coolest thing we've ever done. He agrees. 🤣

And here I thought the coolest thing you've ever done was introducing me to Terraria and Cheerful Ghost.

So, total kudos for the fishing addition! I don't normally use my skill points, unless I'm fighting the wyvern. But, sometimes I run into a fish that makes me use them, which is a good thing. Fishing also gives me a lot more gems, which is great, because I want as many as possible so I can buy skill points, those are a high priority when fighting the wyvern. Fishing helps you get other bonuses, which is cool, too, though I don't usually use them. I do like being able to sell fish, which helps me buy better gear, including a fishing rod. So yeah, thanks for adding this into the game! I think you've done a fantastic job!

Congrats to Saturday! Looking forward to the new stuff!

One thing made this season special for me and that is I made a new friend. Even though it sounds corny, I thought I'd share, because I think if you make a new friend by playing a game that just adds to the positive experience. So, even though this game was already great, it's also accomplished something greater that not every game can do.

I thought you'd appreciate that.

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.

Cool stuff! I'm looking forward to the new stuff. Also, it's nice to see me in the top 10 list.

Cool! I'm looking forward to new stuff!

I have my own strategy now and I don't intend to change it. Dual class seems pointless to me. I could explain why, but then I'd have to give some details about my thoughts on this and include my strategy. It's not that I don't want to share my strategy, more like I don't want to at this present moment. I now have a preferred class and I now only spend gems for that class's skill points, because I need as many as I can get. It's cool to know, though, that we all have our own strategies, even more fascinating is how our strategies differ and how they've evolved over time.

Cool! I was wondering what would happen after that final kill, since I'm extremely close to accomplishing that now. I think losing all your charm is a bit of a small price to pay, yet it also kind of sucks. I think there shouldn't be any negative outcome for getting that final kill. Although perhaps it's kind of a balancing act so that players don't get too OP. Losing all your charm isn't too bad since we all seem to accumulate so much of it that at a certain point it no longer matters if you end up losing some of it in the forest. So this change kind of puts some polish on the charm stat, I think. When some of us stated how much charm we had, we were around 100-200+. I don't remember how much charm you need for that ultimate NPC interaction, but I'm guessing it's no where near that much. It doesn't take very long to accumulate enough charm to get to that point, but it's very easy to get so much charm that if you lose some in the forest, it's no big deal at all, other than a wasted forest fight.

Anyway, thanks again to you and Jon for making the game and continuing to develop it.

Wait, more changes? What do you mean this wasn't a perfect game from the start? I'm so disappointed! LOL j/k

I really don't know about doing dual class, I haven't tried it. I don't really want to either. I feel like spending all of my gems on my skill is definitely worth it. I probably wouldn't have killed the wyvern last time if I hadn't done so, I had just enough (D)isappear skill points to win that fight. Although I'm sure some kind of balance between classes and skills would also be efficient.

Personally, I want LESS PVP, not more. I'd love to see some kind of bonus for those of us (or at least me) who don't participate in the PVP aspect of the game. Although, I think it's kind of fair that this isn't the case. I just have no interest in PVP.

It's already difficult to afford a room at the Inn in lower levels, but I guess saving your money for that instead of buying a weapon, armor, and a hat would resolve that issue.

Good job with the Wyvern kill updating. I have one more kill to discover the last lore. I was worrying about what I'd do when I finished, like there wouldn't be much point in playing after that. So, you've resolved that. :)

Turn Helga's into a brothel. LOL

Anyway, thanks for the game, guys, and the work you've been putting into it.

I don't see interest rate raises on any hats. Am I missing something?

Oh, ok, so not all hats. Even still, the ones that gain gold don't tell you this new fact. That might be helpful to know in-game at the shop. Although I only use hats that increase my strength and defense.

This is cool, but it seems like (D)isappear is going to make the rogue OP. The skill seems perfect for a wyvern fight. I'm sure if I had this before when I fought the wyvern both times, I wouldn't have died at all. I've tried all the classes so far and am currently a mage for the first time. I noticed the mage has more than one magic skill. This new rogue skill will probably get me to try out the new rogue once I beat the wyvern again and get to change class again.

The hats are a cool addition. I may have suggested splitting armor up into different pieces, giving us more use for our gold. I know the last time I killed the wyvern, I had plenty of gold in the bank, which unfortunately went unused and thus lost.

Thanks for the update!

>Think about it this way-- warrior primal scream can give you a 3x attack, OR the Disappear ability gives you (functionally) a 5x attack, but the Rogue attack strength will generally be lower.

>Mage still has White, which can nearly one-hit the wyvern if you've planned well.

Since you put it that way, it doesn't sound as OP. I also haven't discovered White yet. Thanks for the clarifications!

>We have plans for that gold in other things we plan to add to the game but won't be coming right away. Longer term we will add some fun stuff to grind a lot of gold for.

Cool. I was disappointed to lose my bank account balance, but I also understood how OP you could be if you had money saved to buy better equipment sooner.

Damn, why'd you have to "balance" the Mage before I kill the wyvern w/ it. ;( I'll try the Rogue after I beat the wyvern w/ my Mage.

The hats give me something more to spend my gold on, yet also distract me from trying to save up for that 4 million gold armor and weapon LOL. I did like how different hats have different stats or stat boosts and I got one I liked and haven't died in the forest since. I also enjoy the names you've given to armor, weapons, and hats. You guys have some funny names! There's a Newman's set of armor and a weapon I always buy.

Oh and although lots of FPS doesn't seem to make a difference for me, I'm wondering how much FPS I'll lose in playing at a higher resolution. I probably still won't notice, except for a counter to just see. I imagine the higher resolution for gaming will probably or possibly be noticeable.

I downloaded the secret high resolution text pack. LOL Kidding...yeah I commented on the wrong post.

I just confirmed, you cannot one-shot the wyvern with White. I'm not sure how many times I hit it with White, maybe twice. Luckily, I was able to Teleport instead of letting it kill me.

Ok, I bought the 10 million gold hat and it made all the difference. I just killed the wyvern (yes, for my third time).

There's the announcement I was waiting for! I noticed the new icon and hit Jon up w/ a message.
