Hello everyone! 

It’s incredibly warm on Oloko, I immediately feel like having some yummy ice cream. And get this: we now have ice cream furniture!!!:

I have licked every single bit of furniture, too. ;) Tastes a bit…umm, like plastic…
but it looks great and doesn’t melt in the sun.
Well, the fridge might…

There is also a new ringtone in the mobile phone shop:



It’s perfect for anyone who loves nostalgia!

But now... Get furnishing!! Until next week,

Your Nico

Hey Olokians, 

this week, we’re crowning the first winner of a cool Oloko costume and the Oloko Trophy! :) It’s… LPConan, who supplied Oloko with 409 Snow. Congratulations, and have fun as a turtle.

Taking 2nd and 3rd place are Yggdrasil with 233 Snow and Steffi with 199 Snow. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough for you—perhaps this week?
Oloko wants to eat eggs this week.

Feed as much as possible to win the turtle costume for 7 days and a permanent trophy.
The Zurak are the group winners. You receive the special group action for one week and a permanent group trophy:

Your trophy is the one on the left..

For this week, the Oloko team has decided to make the following change to the group competition:

Until now, points awarded when you handed in an item were calculated just as they were in the original version of Oloko.

Some players and the Oloko team felt this system was somewhat unfair; for instance, you can plant chilies as often as you like (provided, of course, that you have the necessary items), whereas only two fruit juices can be produced at a time because there are only two frogs on Oloko. Herbs are also more difficult to produce than chilies, so the original value of 12 points for chilies was unfair to the other groups. Consequently, the team consulted with some players and decided to adjust the point values ​​starting this week as follows:

Chili 2 Points

Herbs 6 Points

Fruitjuice 8 Points

We hope this makes the competition fairer, so that all groups have an equally good chance.

Feel free to let us know in the comments or on our Discord how you like the competition or how it could be even better!

Have a good start to the week,

Your Marla

Ahoi Olokians, 

Calling all sailors, seafarers, and summer lovers! Like Bill Chill, do you dream of a day by the sea? Picture yourself sailing along with seagulls circling your sails, eventually pulling up to a Pacific-style summer bar. Then, you sink into a breezy beach chair and sip a delicious milkshake from Speedy… Ah, bliss! The best part is, it doesn’t have to remain just a dream! Take a look at the new seaside-style furniture for your home and garden:

Well, did I promise too much? Oh, I can practically smell the salty scent of the sea already. Wonderful!
But do you know what else is missing? Exactly! A fitting background for your player card!



So, the summer fun can move on to the next round! Plus, some other great furniture items have been added to the shop, and you can now even take a step back while crafting if you run out of the required items.

We’ll be in touch again on Monday, when you’ll find out which Olokian won the feeding contest and which group won the group competition.

Your Nico

Hello Olokians, 

It has now been two days since the Oloko open beta began. We’ve been so busy handing out a gift for you at Sunnyfarm that we haven't even had a chance to write to you yet—but see for yourselves:

The photo is from launch day. Within just one hour, over 80 Olokians were playing simultaneously! It was great to see so many of you and to share this amazing moment—and the fantastic launch party—with you.

I hate to interrupt, but the release party only runs until August 19th. So, if you want to get our gift, make sure to pick it up in time. It’s that non-tradable release party background:



It looks fantastic, doesn't it? So hurry over to Sunnyfarm and grab this background for your player card—it won't be available again.

Last but not least, we would like to explain the Groups & Oloko feeding contest to you.
Group contest:
-> From level 4, you can join one of three groups: Deika, Zurak, or Eka. Each group stands for something:
* The Deika believe in fate, spirit and magic and they love secrets.
* For Eka, it’s about genuine emotions, music, and a deep understanding of one another.
* The Zurak are sports enthusiasts and honest. They believe only what they can see.
-> Each group has a soup pot, and you must prepare a different item for each group: fruit juice for Eka, chili for Zurak, and herbs for Deika—things you learn to make while playing the jobs in Oloko. To keep the competition fair, the items are scored based on their value rather than the quantity tossed in, since the difficulty of producing them varies.
-> The winning group can use the group action for 7 days and receives a permanent trophy. The competition always runs until Sunday at 6 PM. You can view the current standings in the group room or on the Sunnyfarm.

Let us now take a look at the feeding competition:
-> Every week, Oloko wants to consume a product that you can produce within Oloko.

-> The player who feeds Oloko the most with this product wins a very special turtle costume for 7 days, as well as the permanent trophy.

-> The competition always ends on Sundays at 6 p.m. After that, Oloko wants to eat something else.
-> We announce the competition winner here on the Oloko blog every week. You can't see the current standings, so give it your all and feed Oloko as much as you can—with a bit of luck, you might win the challenge!

This week, Oloko would like to cool off and eat some snow. You can find him at Sugarpeak:



We hope you have a wonderful time on Oloko. Please don't forget, however, that Oloko is currently in open beta; not all features have returned yet, and there are still some bugs. You can report these to Oloko customer support at any time—or, of course, let us know about them on the Oloko Discord server.


By the way, you can also chat with other Olokians on Discord, make suggestions for improvement, or share your Oloko drawings. If you’d like to join, click here.

Of course, we’ll also keep you updated on news via the Oloko X (Twitter) Account and the Oloko blog. So, be sure to check back regularly.
Your Oloko Blogreporter Bill Chill, Nico and Marla

Hello Olokianer,

How are things going? You’ve probably seen it already: the countdown on the website is no longer showing days, but just hours until the Oloko Open Beta! The Open Beta is just around the corner! I’ve already been exploring Oloko with some members of the Oloko team and got a sneak peek at everything; I even took the opportunity to buy some new clothes so I’d look my best for the release—see for yourselves:



Oh, Marla... You’re already amazing just the way you are! A big hello from me, too. The closed beta recently wrapped up successfully. Now, the Oloko team is working flat out to get everything ready for the open beta—making sure nothing goes wrong on August 16th! The team has received quite a few questions across various platforms over the last few days, and Nico wants to answer them for you. Let’s get started!

So, feeling fresh? Then let's get started::
When exactly does the open beta start?

The open beta is scheduled for August 16 at 8 p.m. (20:00) German time.

Will all the quests, plants, and products from the original Oloko be available?

Yes, all quests and their plants & products will be available in the game in their original versions on the day of release.

Will there be new features?

The team is focused on using modern technology to restore Oloko to its former state, while also introducing numerous improvements to existing features. The Oloko Shop and the trading system, for example, got fresh designs and offer new features. Completely new features are also planned for the post-launch period—we look forward to sharing more details with you soon.

Will there be special events, or—like in the original Oloko—only the main quests?

There will be great events on Oloko where you can earn cool rewards. A major event is planned for shortly after the beta launch, so keep your eyes peeled! ;)

Are there any new rooms or characters?

A new room was completed a few months ago and is scheduled for release later this year. A brand-new character will arrive in Oloko shortly after the open beta launches. Keep your eyes peeled and follow our blog so you don't miss a thing.

Is the waiting time in Oloko still as long as in the original?

80% of the waiting times have been carried over from the original version, though some items now process faster. Also, keep in mind that you can trade items with other players at any time to progress more quickly.

Are there group competitions again, and who feeds Oloko the most?

Yes, of course! Starting on launch day, you can do your best to feed Oloko and win the week with your group. However, the group competition for the first week will be decided via a Discord vote, since you are all just getting started and cannot yet craft the necessary items.

What about memberships?

You can purchase a paid Oloko Patreon membership to buy exclusive clothing and furniture or to get a large garden where you can craft even more items. However, unlike the original version of Oloko, most things are free! Purchasing a membership supports the continued development of Oloko and helps cover its costs.

Alright, Nico, that’s enough answers for now—after all, everyone in Oloko should still get to experience a surprise or two for themselves. But if you definitely don’t want to miss a thing, be sure to check the Oloko blog regularly, that’s where we’ll let you know whenever something new happens in Oloko, who wins the group challenge, and, of course, who has fed Oloko the most.


However, if you’d like even more insights and want to become part of a great community, the team would certainly be happy if you joined the Oloko Discord server. Click here to join.

Hehe... A great snapshot just came in showing the team exploring Sunnyfarm:
