Welcome Hero or Heroine!
This outlook is intended to provide insight into our planned features and initiatives. However, please note that the timeline and details of these features are subject to change. Unforeseen circumstances, such as shifting priorities, technical challenges, or external factors (e.g. community feedback), may result in features being adjusted, delayed, or reprioritized.
September
Legendary Dungeon → 19.9.
Get ready for the much-anticipated return of the Legendary Dungeon! This exciting event promises to bring back the thrill and adventure that you have come to love. This time around, you'll have the fantastic opportunity to gather the elusive legendary items that you may have previously missed out on.
The current iteration of the Legendary Dungeon will revisit a previous round, allowing both new and returning players to experience the excitement once again.
As we prepare for this thrilling adventure, it raises an intriguing question: What do you think the theme of the Legendary Dungeon will be this time?
Oktoberfest → 19.9.
What would September be without Oktoberfest? While it may sound a bit unusual to celebrate Oktoberfest in September, the festival was originally held in October. However, to take advantage of better weather and attract more visitors, the event was moved to September, while retaining its original name.
In the world of Shakes & Fidget, the weather is always pleasant, but we remain true to German tradition nonetheless.
Join us for free beers and a variety of exciting events during Oktoberfest. Cheers!
Update 27.500 → Towards the End of September
Twitch Epics
A new type of Twitch Drop will feature an epic item set linked to some of our streamers. This initiative celebrates our collaboration with content creators like Mo, Tuny, Waves, and others who regularly showcase Shakes & Fidget in their streams. Epics from Twitch Drops contribute to your scrapbook's progress.
You can collect Twitch Drops by linking your S&F account to Twitch and watching the official Shakes & Fidget stream or any participating content creator in our Twitch Drop campaign.
For instructions on linking your S&F account to Twitch and collecting or redeeming Twitch Drops, refer to our help article.
Additional ad skips
After a productive discussion with our Discord community about adding options to skip wait times by watching ads, we will introduce the following features with this update:
- Pets: Skip wait time for habitat and pet fights once per day each.
- Dungeons: Skip wait time in dungeons once per day.
- Cup Player: Skip wait time at the game of dice once per day.
These options will be available for the mobile and browser versions of the game. Unfortunately, Steam does not support in-game advertisements, so this option will not be available on that platform.
Bard Adjustment
This update introduces several optimizations to the game, and a significant adjustment to the Bard class: the influence of stamina on the bonus duration of the Bard's melody of vigor will be eliminated. This change is being made thoughtfully, in response to your feedback we've received from the community. We appreciate your input as we strive to enhance the experience for everyone.
October
Serverstart EU23
Another server means yet another opportunity to rise to the pinnacle of the leaderboard and establish your dominance in the game. Prepare yourselves for the exciting launch of EU23, which is set to open its doors at the beginning of October. This new server promises fresh challenges and the chance to showcase your skills as you compete against other players for the top position. Get ready to dive into the action and make your mark!
Reunification Day
Wow, it’s hard to believe that it has already been 35 years since the momentous event of Germany's reunification! This significant milestone in history marks the coming together of East and West Germany, a moment that has shaped the nation and its people profoundly. To honor this important occasion, we are excited to announce that we will be celebrating the German Reunification Day with a series of enjoyable and engaging in-game events.
Did you know that in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), there was only one non-alcoholic beer until reunification? Appropriately, it was called AUBI: Autofahr-Bier (literal translation: driving beer).
Lucky Day
Experience the excitement of Lucky Day by collecting valuable rewards from various events and using them instantly! It's an exhilarating feeling that you shouldn't miss. Are you already feeling the rush of endorphins? The chance to earn rewards and use them right away creates an unparalleled experience that is both thrilling and rewarding.
Update
Plague Doctor
The community feedback from the two closed beta phases, including discussion forums and surveys, shows a high acceptance of the Plague Doctor class. If everything goes according to plan, we will introduce the Plague Doctor with this update.
The Plague Doctor is a dexterity class with a 20% dodge chance and an 11.11% bonus to equipment stats, excluding socketed gems. Its unique skill allows it to throw a tincture at opponents (50% chance), dealing damage over time and increasing the Plague Doctor’s dodge chance. Both the damage and the increased dodge chance will decrease over time while the tincture's poison is active.
Tinctures can be blocked or dodged, and the Plague Doctor cannot throw tinctures at Mages.
Prepare to play this class in one of our game worlds!
New Scrapbook Section
Furthermore, a new section to the scrapbook will be added that requires you to complete specific tasks and goals to earn decorative rewards. While the rewards do not grant any bonuses you can showcase your accomplishments in your player profile for others to see. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Halloween
As every year, we will celebrate Halloween at the end of October/beginning of November.
November
Hellevator
The Hellevator will return in late November.
Sidenotes
Two new features are currently in the pipeline. Once we are confident that those projects will get into production we will provide more detailed information.
