Hi early birds!
26 Days till launch! Tension is rising. And, like every Friday, here’s an update of what we’ve been doing and how Woolfe is progressing.
Kickstarter - Toy Soldiers
First of all a small update for our Kickstarter backers. You can now edit and customize your online Toy Soldier via your personal login page: http://army.woolfegame.com
Localisation
Good news on the localisation front. As for now, we can confirm that Woolfe should be available in the following languages upon launch:
- English
- Dutch
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Japanese
- (hopefully Russian too)
Please note: there may be additional langauges available upon launch, but as for now, the abovementioned ones are the ones we can guarantee. If your language is not listed, that does not mean Woolfe won’t be available in your langauge. We just can’t promise getting a qualitative translation ready by March 17th just yet.
We’d like to thank everyone who helped us out with the community translations, especially the French Team that has been having a lot of fun, but also doing a very high quality translations. (Next build will have French subtitles available for testing)
If you’re interested and have a way with words, you can still join the translators community and help us out by filling in some missing bits or adding languages right here:

DEADLINE: February 27th
In order to ensure enough time for implementation of all languages, we will close the tool at the end of February. After that we will be running everything by native speaking professional editors for quality check and start implementation.
Twitch Reminder
YES, next Tuesday we’re back for another Twitch Stream!
This week you chose for a Q&A with our lead programmer Jelle. Next week, you will have the choice again, a Q&A with writer Yasmin on the story OR a Q&A with lead artist Davy & concept artist Bram! Let us know who you would prefer to see in the comments!
Changelog
Today’s new build has a couple of new features and fixes, including:
- Sewer rat fight: Fixed most of the bugs we found and are working on polishing it a bit more. The animation should run smoother now, no more collision problems, etc. Also, the big rat will definitely attack you now but we still need to alter the attack animation.
- Forest: This level still needs a lot of love, and we're working on that. The thing you'll notice most is the camera angles that should be a lot better already.
- Subtitles: The French subtitles are now implemented! You’ll now be able to chose between English subs or French.
- Bug fixes: Goodness, they never end, do they…? Patched up a lot of bugs all over the game and constantly keeping an eye on others.
BUT...
...there is a new crashbug in the system since the last build Tuesday. We're trying hard to find it, reverting to older backups to see when the error first occurred so we can find a fix. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Well we can't give you a new update until we find and fix this bug, so please be patient, we're doing our best to get the update out on schedule...
Other stuff!
CEO Wim will be going to GDC in San Francisco to promote Woolfe for the big release! If you're also going, let him know, he might have some goodies to hand out... If you a reporter or youtuber and want do an interview at the event, let him know too! he'll be happy to tell you all about Woolfe.
Aaand… we’re working on the finishing touches of the final Big Bad Boss fight. Oooh yes, the fight against Woolfe himself! We can’t show you any spoilers yet but take it from us: It will be awesome!
Alright birdies, that’s it for this week’s update!
We’ll see you soon!
