#cogwheelSWEEP

Not only were we funded in this campaign, but we’re in talks with an investor who’s keen to seal the deal! We are not disclosing the details currently, and the technicals are still being finalized (so we’d be remiss to promise any specifics as of yet), but with these funds we are able to widely expand our initial vision for launch; including, but not limited to, establishing a mobile application! Thank you all for your continuing support, and for your patience as we regroup and prepare for production with this unprecedented funding.

Within the coming months, we will have clarity on what is to come! As of now, we’ve been up to our noses in budget work and mechanic layouts as we figure where these funds will appropriately go. It’s taken some time, but next month we hope to update with specifics on numbers for the content that will be available at launch and in beta! (number of breeds, number of accessories, etc)

With that out of the way, we bring some new visuals!

First off, the color wheel. We have a confession to make: in an effort to add a comprehensive range, we’ve added 76 new colors, as opposed to the promised 74. We just felt a select few were missing! This brings our total to 153 colors. We also changed “dog” to “shepherd” and adjusted the palette.

Below is a chart of the base color for each palette. Next month, we are releasing the full palettes! The second chart highlights the new colors in red text.

[ID: Two images showing the complete Paw Borough color wheel. Both photos feature a wheel of 153 colors. Inside the wheel is the Paw Borough logo and the text, "+76 new colors! 153 total!" Under the wheel are 3 columns listing each color's base swatch, name, and hex code. In the second image, the new additions are written in red text. End ID.]

 (Patch notes: added red)

It simply wouldn’t be winter without the reindeer, elk, or caribou! Native to the Sol Borough, check out these finalized renderings of the Prancers, a mix of the Snowfoot and snowy deer. (Note: The coloring is for concept purposes, and is not necessarily indicative of the final coloring!)

[ID: Final renderings of the Prancer breed. It is a muscular, long-furred cat with hooves on the back legs and a deer-like nose. The kitten and female have stubs on their foreheads, and the male has antlers. End ID.]

To those of you who are awaiting an email from us regarding add-ons, do not fret! This week, emails will be sent en masse. We again thank you for your patience, as this exciting funding news has left us re-formatting our production plans to account for the newfound responsibility. We intend to exercise a great deal of care in appropriate distribution.

Lastly, to answer the question: when will you update the demo with the new colors?

Unknown as of yet! We are looking to change our shading to dynamically shift colors, and we are potentially re-structuring the coding. Considering that we are now looking at building a native source code for android, IOS, and browser capability, we have to turn our focus towards how this will be done. Once we have an understanding on building the application to account for mobile and browser use, we can focus on asset production.

To summarize: We’ve been given an investment to do more at launch and are taking time to budget it. Here is a first look at the color expansion, and the finalized renderings of the Prancers!

What to expect next month: 

The full palettes of the entire color wheel (used to determine different gene colors.)

A look at the user page and layout of a user’s camp and how it functions.

A breakdown estimation of the number of items and general content that will be available during beta and at launch.

We may have more to share, but here’s what to look out for in January!

Have a wonderful week!

With Love,
