Meow adventurers,

Over the last month, we’ve been completely focused on our next big update, coming this month!

But our roadmap isn’t completely up to date at this point The update not only includes Meta Progression, but also drum roll Button Remapping!

With that, we’re checking off two of the most requested features from you. We really hope you like them!

What we’ve been working on

Meta Progression

Bushcraft Level

With every crossroad you enter, you collect points for your Bushcraft Level. When you level up, you unlock new game content: upgrades, challenges, and more

The amount and type of rewards depend on your Bushcraft Level and are fixed. Therefore, you might be missing some of the stronger upgrades here and there in the beginning (looking at you, Totem Station ) . But don't worry, if you prefer, you can choose not to reset your progress and keep everything you've already unlocked.

If you’re matched with someone of a higher Bushcraft Level, you’re lucky: all unlocked content available during your adventure depends on the person with the highest Bushcraft Level

Survival Skills and Ancestral Marks

In comparison to the Bushcraft Levels, training your attributes and perks is up to you. Spend your hard-earned Pinecoins and Sapfires however you want to start your next adventures.

Maybe you’d like to focus more on collecting resources than fighting, so you can spend Pinecoins to choose the Mark of the Alchemist, which can improve resource item quality Or maybe you’d rather deal more damage, in which case you could look for some little helpers to get some support

Of course, there are plenty of other things you can improve, but we don't want to give too much away just yet

Button Remapping

That one is probably pretty self-explanatory In the menu, you’ll have the option to rebind your buttons for both KBM and controller to fit your playstyle. In addition, we hope to make Wild Woods accessible for more people

What's next

  • Polishing everything for the update
  • Boring marketing stuff that comes along with a big update

The exact date isn’t set in stone yet, but one thing is certain: the update won’t be long in coming

Hope you all have a catastic day!
