Hogs & Kisses & Sweet Treats

New Midweek Update is Now Available

All's fair in love, war, and... breakfast?! The pups in Chateau's Dog Park will be beggin' for the new NPC hammin' it up in this week's new midweek update. Talk to Big Daddy's Cupig in the /Chateau map now and complete his "Out of Love" quest to choose either a new 0 AC seasonal pet or house item! The quest and rewards leave March 7, 2025.

This deliciously-adorable little emissary from Big Daddy is a little friendly, a little goofy, and based off one of the most "heart-unhealthy" PORK-manteaus on the internet. 

And if you love consuming all of the "behind the scenes" details that go into these midweek updates, here's more trivia to chew on from the design team:

This new expansion quest is meant to be primarily on the silly side. With the way Cupig talks, he’s supposed to act a bit childlike, friendly, and goofy. So, he’s going to speak very differently compared to all of the other NPCs in this map.

I chose /Chateau for a few reasons. It feels pretty lively with NPCs. Also, because of the structuring of the quests. The quests require you to talk to a bunch of NPCs in the map (and this new quest will require the same mobs that 2 of the quests require). Thirdly, I chose this map because one of the rooms has a sign that says "Dog Park." So, I thought it would be funny to put a pig NPC in it.

The quest name is most of the title of a song, which is "All Out of Love" by Air Supply. I was originally going to call the quest "Cupig’s Crazy Catastrophe," but the name didn’t fit well with the quest description. I also make another reference to the song in the quest description. I was going to try to add more references to the song, but I don’t want to get too carried away with that since we’ve been having (REDACTED FOR SPOILERS - Alina)
