Patch #27Welcome to the Patch after the Nautical Update!My name is Daniel and I'm the lead programmer on Whiskerwood. I want to say thank you to so many players for starting Whiskerwood! Thanks to you and returning players we actually had more people playing Whiskerwood after the Nautical update than we did at our early access launch! The nautical update was a big undertaking for our team. Over the weekend we released 5 hotpatches and I appreciate everyone's patience during that buggy time.This patch brings both a ton of deeper bug fixes plus new features driven by player feedback. The two hig

You like putting a bunch of mice on a boat, don't you? Of course you do, it's always enjoyable seeing semi-anthropomorphic mice do human things! Now that we're on the same page, this is a good time to let you know that the new update for Whiskerwood, a city-builder where the cities are filled with mice ruled by nasty, greedy cats, has received a new update today where the friendly rodents can venture out to sail the seven seas.

Set Sail for the High Seas! Hello Everyone, My name is Daniel Dressler and I am the lead programmer on Whiskerwood. On behalf of myself and the team, I want to express our thanks for your support. About 4 months ago, I asked for your patience as we started work on our biggest update to Whiskerwood yet. And today is the day it ships! With the introduction of an expansive open ocean, this update charts a new chapter in Whiskerwood's core gameplay! Thanks to your feedback during Early Access, we've been able to design a better nautical feature that better integrates with our core in-island gamepl

Hello, my name is Daniel, and I’m the lead programmer on Whiskerwood. Just over 3 months ago, I announced in our last update that we would spend the next 4+ months making a massive expansion to Whiskerwood’s gameplay... I am proud to announce that we are ahead of schedule and it'll go live on September 3rd. We have a clear runway to ship our update and are working on polishing and debugging. We still have many bugs to fix and many mechanics to iterate on, balance-wise, but the big features are written and implemented! Thus, I want to walk you through what we are adding to Whiskerwood and how i

Patch #24Thank you everyone for playing our game :)I want to thank Lucas for returning to contribute more music to Whiskerwood's OST. This patch we've added a grand song which will play randomly for larger islands. You can check out the full song on Lucas's youtube: The whole team this patch again has been focused on optimizations. Compared to last patch this batch of optimizations should be even more impactful. Our optimizations have focused on gameplay CPU logic. This does mean computers limited by rendering will not see a significant change. Meanwhile saves at high whisker populations shoul

Like the hardworking Whisker colonists, the Whiskerwood Dev team has been hard at work creating and releasing new patches. Recent updates have allowed players more control over the function of many buildings, allowed these settings to be copied and pasted on most configurable buildings, and, as always, made a few optimizations to ensure these new systems run at peak efficiency, much like your colony should be. Here's a roundup of all the recent development news for Whiskerwood that you might have missed! Whiskerwood is also part of the Hooded Horse April Sale at 35% off. Check it out and the o

Patch #23Performance improvements is a constant struggle for us. Every time we improve the performance: players just build bigger islands! We like that. It is an honour as a game dev to have players push our games to its limits. Going forward we will continue to work on pushing those performance limits further.While I have your attention, I want to direction you to this incredible new mod made by our first time modder Green Grove!Players have asked for metrics and charts for a while, and it is impressive to see it arrive as a mod.DanielLead Programmer on WhiskerwoodChangelogv0.6.188 Patch #23F

Patch #22You can now quickly copy settings from one building to other buildings of the same type! Most configurable buildings now support Ctrl+C for copying, and Ctrl+V for pasting the building's configuration! A new masonry styled long stone stairs are now available as the default variety to the stone long stairs. Being a variety this does not replace any existing stairs, but instead is now an option you can use when building new stairs.Now for the bigger details: Reduced Pillars!I need to explain what this means exactly. It does not refer to supports, the things built out of wood underneath
