[p]Meow! [/p][p][/p][p]Oh wow, you are so fast: You crushed both community goals and unlocked two new skins! Congratulations! ๐Ÿฅณโ€‹๐Ÿ”ฅโ€‹[/p][p][/p][p]Honestly, that was way faster than we expected. We spent quite some time deciding on the different goals, but what we didnโ€™t account for was how many new players would join us during the โ€œ4 is a Partyโ€ Steam event ๐Ÿ˜… And all of you together ended up playing a lot of Wild Woods! ๐Ÿˆโ€‹๐Ÿฏโ€‹๐Ÿ†โ€‹๐Ÿฆโ€‹[/p][p]
A warm welcome to everyone who joined our lovely community over the last few days ๐Ÿค—โ€‹๐Ÿฅฐโ€‹[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoyed our little anniversary event and had fun collecting all the gifts. If so, maybe itโ€™s something we could repeat in the future.[/p][p][/p][p]Until then, stay wild and pawsome! ๐ŸŒžโ€‹โœจโ€‹[/p]

1 Year Celebration

[p]Today is a special day, because weโ€™reโ€ฆ[/p][p][/p]
CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF WILD WOODS!! ๐ŸŽ‚โ€‹๐Ÿฅณโ€‹
[p]
[/p][p]That means one full year of cat adventures, fighting rabbits and badgers, gathering tons of resources, and of course guiding Rosie safely through the forest ๐Ÿฐโ€‹๐Ÿชตโ€‹๐Ÿ—โ€‹[/p][p]Weโ€™re so proud of everything weโ€™ve accomplished this past year, and so much of it wouldnโ€™t have been possible without you, our pawsome community![/p][p]So hereโ€™s a big virtual hug and huge thank you to everyone who supports us (some of you even before we entered Early Access)! ๐Ÿค—โ€‹๐Ÿซ‚โ€‹๐Ÿฅฐโ€‹[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Here are a few highlights we want to mention:[/h3]
  • [p]Six new languages - Miao, Miau, Miyav, Mลˆau, and ะัะฒ! โ€‹๐Ÿฏโ€‹๐Ÿ†โ€‹๐Ÿ˜บโ€‹[/p]
  • [p]Kunai Cat and Herbalist - our two โ€œnewerโ€ roles[/p]
  • [p]Hot Join and the Save option - your most requested features ๐Ÿ”ฅ[/p]
  • [p]A lot of bug fixing[/p]
  • [p]Cats - no explanation needed ๐Ÿ˜‰[/p]
  • [p]Last but not least, you![/p]
[p][/p][p]To celebrate together with the whole community, we thought it would be fun to run a little challenge for all of us: Starting today, chests and special enemies will drop small gifts that Rosie is eager to collect. Every single one of them counts to a global community goal! ๐Ÿซถ[/p][p]If all of you manage to gather enough presents by December 31, youโ€™ll unlock some charming new skins for every Wild Woods player. Letโ€™s see how far we can get - and have some fun along the way! ๐Ÿ’ฏโ€‹๐ŸŽฎโ€‹๐Ÿ”ฅโ€‹[/p][h3]
And now, what will happen in the future?
[/h3][p]A quick look at our roadmap shows thereโ€™s still plenty we want to add, fix, and polish. Of course, at the very top of our list is the third biome ๐Ÿ”๏ธโ€‹โ„๏ธโ€‹ As we teased last week, we also have something new to share with you: [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Wishing you all a catastic day! ๐Ÿ˜ธโ€‹๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›โ€‹๐Ÿฏโ€‹๐Ÿ˜โ€‹๐Ÿผโ€‹[/p]

Daedalic presents: The "4 is a Party"- Event

Heyho everyone,

As some of you already know, we try our best to bring you our titles for the best prices and because of that, often have parts of our portfolio on sale - sometimes itโ€™s difficult to find a good reason - thatโ€™s why we make them ourselves and celebrate gaming as a whole:

Welcome to our second run of our โ€œ4 is a Partyโ€ Steam event, this time with Wild Woods among many other brilliant multiplayer titles. The event will be running from December 8th - 15th.

This neat co-op celebration brings together over 100 multiplayer games with discounts of up to 90%, featuring not only titles from us, but Devolver Digital, Team17, Raw Fury, Nacon, Assemble Entertainment, and many others of our friends in the industry. Players can browse the full selection of co-op games on the event page and discover new adventures to share over this week-long sale.
This yearโ€™s event is accompanied by a three-day creator showcase from StumptGamers, streamed live on December 8th, 9th, and 10th (1pm - 5pm PST / 21:00 - 01:00 GMT). The streams will be featured directly on the Steam event page, and all VODs will remain available throughout the duration of the sale.

In addition to the discounts, some games, like our underground-horror title Hidden Deep, have rolled out new updates - Hidden Deepโ€™s for example fittingly expands its multiplayer mode to eight players and adds two co-op levels and new enemy types.

Whether youโ€™re looking to pick up new co-op hits or revisit classics with friends, our โ€œ4 is a Partyโ€ event is built around shared-screen chaos, online teamwork, and finding your next group game. As mentioned above Wild Woods is part of the lineup - check out the event page and explore the full selection of co-op games available during the sale.

Best Regards,
Daedalic Entertainment

DevLog November 2025

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]We hope youโ€™re having a great start to the pre-holiday season! While keeping ourselves well-supplied with gingerbread, hereโ€™s what weโ€™ve up to the last weeks:[/p][p][/p][h2]Steam Awards ๐Ÿ†[/h2][p]Over the last week, Steam asked you to vote for your favorite games of the year. We also suggested our little forest game - and many of you used the opportunity to leave a review for Wild Woods. We received so many that we were completely blown away โ€‹๐Ÿ˜ฒโ€‹๐Ÿฅฐโ€‹ We just want to say a huge thank you for being such a kind and wonderful community. Thank you ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™[/p][p]
[/p]
What weโ€™ve been working on
[h2]Biome 3 - Progress Report โ„๏ธโ€‹โ›„โ€‹[/h2][p]Most of our time recently went into the new boss and its arena. The boss fight itself is now roughly 90% complete in terms of mechanics and programming ๐Ÿฅณ Weโ€™re still waiting on some sounds, music and visual effects that will be created by externals.[/p][p]Biome 3 in terms of gameplay still needs a lot of internal testing balancing - especially the new biome mechanics. Right now even we sometimes struggle to reach the boss ๐Ÿ˜…[/p][p]On top of that, many level parts are still a work in progress. But it will take some more time to get to the quality we want it to have and still hit our deadlines.[/p][p]For this month, we thought it might be nice to treat something different: instead of always showing you new visuals, weโ€™ve got something for your ears: take a peek (or a listen ๐ŸŽถ) at what awaits you in the cold, snowy mountains of Wild Woods on our Discord.[/p][p]
[/p]
What happens next
[p]Our main focus in the last weeks of this year is to tie up all loose ends of Biome 3 and get it ready for external testing ๐ŸŽฎ One good example of these โ€œloose endsโ€ is our plan to make variations of the existing enemies (instead of completely new ones). Even though we decided to expand our existing enemy roster by variations - a choice that makes sense for our small team - it is still quite a challenge to integrate all the necessary changes for a proper biome release. Maybe we can even give you a new sneak peek before Christmas ๐Ÿคžโ€‹๐ŸŽ„โ€‹
[/p][p]Last but not least: weโ€™re also working on a small surprise for next week โ€ฆ so stay tuned! ๐Ÿ˜ฒโ€‹๐Ÿ”ฅโ€‹๐Ÿฅณโ€‹๐Ÿค—โ€‹[/p]
