Evening!
I would just like to take a moment to spotlight some of the work Loscil did over the weekend, which you may or may not have already noticed. :3

When you click on an item in the Item Database, you will now see an option to "Search for this item on the marketplace." All you need to do is click on this link and you will be taken to the shop search results for that item! Pretty handy, eh?

Now when you view the "My Posts" page, clicking on the thread title will *gasp* take you to the actual post!

There is now a sort by most/least quantity for inventories. You'll see these options as Quantity Descending and Quantity Ascending. I was very dismayed to see how many Clown Cookies we have accumulated. ;~;

I touched on this in the big June news post, but the Wardrobe now has a scrolling pane!

All of these were implemented directly from our To-Do List! :3

Thanks for making our lives easier, Loscil!

Art Gallery

The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Sidewalk Chalk Art and I was incredibly impressed by every single submission we received. I'm usually pretty proud of my chalk doodles and all of these just put mine to shame. XD Great colors, awesome use of space, and tons of creativity!

Here are our featured winners:

They won:

Congratulations!

The current theme is Aywas (NPC) shop/store layouts!
We only get to see snippets of the current stores, and for some we only see the Shopkeeper that runs it, so this is your chance to show us what's really going on in the Explore Shop or what crazy edible concoctions Zave is hiding in the back room. All interpretations and art mediums are welcome. :3

Good luck!



Also, quick reminder to make sure you swing by the Advent Calendar today to get your free Steampunk theme!

Alt vs Official Melos

Pets

Goto News Post

Would you guys care to have the alt Imay melo replace the "new melo" as the official/explore lines?

alt_melo_200.png vs melo_redmutt.png
Alt vs New

If so, the "new melo" would become alt lines, and the "alt Imay melo" would become the usual explore and event lines.


Which Melo should be the official/explore lines?

Steampunk Festival!

Site Update

Goto News Post

2r2vwih.jpgfoodhunger_mustachecookies.png2r2vwih.jpgmagic_oilsyrup.png2r2vwih.jpg

The Steampunk Festival has arrived!
Powered by Yuki & CO. (#40098) and a clanking Slashbot.

steamtile.jpg

In a celebration to help usher in summer, all things Steampunk have overtaken the Bridge!

2r2vwih.jpg

Your goal is to collect as many Gears as you can!
Gears are account-bound points that are only found at the Bridge; you will run into random piles of between 1 and 10.

explore_oilcan.pngexplore_singleglove.pngexplore_brokenmonocle.pngexplore_curlymustache.pngexplore_rustywrench.pngexplore_unreadableblueprints.png

There are also a few collectables for you to try and snag!
These 6 collectables are nice trinkets to keep as souvenirs, but you can also turn in one of each to create...

fauna_ministeambeast.png
A Mini Steam Beast fauna at the Museum!



There are also 16 new Steampunk-themed pets for you to capture at the Bridge!

Want a sneak peek at what will be available in the shop?

foodenergy_steamtini.pngfoodhunger_classygummybear.pngfoodenergy_zeplinbonbon.png

You and your pets will be able to dine on Steampunk-inspired delicacies!

female_pilot.pngm_steam_gentleman_purple_ex2.pngyukii.PNG

And parade around in Victorian-era, airship clothing!

magic_steambeastblueprints.pngstore-npc-29.pngmagic_steambeastblueprints.png

If you are able to collect enough Gears for some Steam Beast Blueprints, you will be able to create a Steam Beast SCC with up to 30% edits! Steam Beast Blueprints will have limited-time power, but after their power fades, you will be able to create one of these SCCs via Silver Potion with Yuki's permission.

Click on the SCC image above to be taken to the species thread where you can read about their history, chat about ones you want to make, etc!

Here is the SCC PSD if you'd like to play around!

You can keep track of how many Gears you have by checking out the Event Shop. This shop will be opening some time on Tuesday June 4th and will remain open for a week. The Gears will be available through June 8th at 11:59 p.m., so there's a bit of overlap to hopefully make planning your Adventure time a little easier!

collectable_steampunktheme.png

Make sure to swing by the Advent Calendar tomorrow (June 2) to pick up your complimentary Steampunk Theme item, which will unlock a site theme using the image at the start of this news post. :3

Let the Steampunk Festival begin!

The Essence of June 2013 is based on the twining vine of the honeysuckle and will transform your active pet into one of the June 2013 monthlies!

collectable_buildingboards.png

The premium monthly item is Building Boards, which will give you an additional 8 Drawer slots!
With our influx of HA items, this should come in handy. :3 (And was taken from a suggestion in the Think Tank.)

*You should also notice a new Wardrobe feature--scrolling!*

Our monthly Lunaris says it's too hot to fly in today, so I will let you know when it arrives!
Reminder: If you need your birthday changed at any time, post here! :3

Event Land

Events abound! You guys have been doing awesome with all of the fun things that we have going on. Aywas has always been about having a variety of things to do so that you can play the game in a way that is unique and enjoyable to you, and events are no different. Here's a look at what we have coming up this month!

- The Apo event will be officially wrapping up shortly, you'll see a post on it this weekend!

- Rainbow Sky Seasonal Shop is open through June 6th at 11:59 p.m..

- The Steampunk Slashbot event should be kicking off late this evening if all goes well, and will last a week.

- Kaz and Shoe's birthday and mine, they always steal my thunder! is this month, so I'm sure they'll do something special.

- A mad science themed event, powered by a Slashbot, will be kicking off on June 22nd.

Coding Corner

Our programming crew has been doing an absolutely phenomenal job, and I'm sure you have noticed what kind of an impact having multiple people working behind the scenes has on the site. Great things have been happening, and there are even more on the horizon.

LostNova is mapping out Adventure and Battle tweaks based on your feedback in the Think Tank!

Loscil is implementing helpful tweaks and fixes at lightning speed and is now working on a few things from our To-Do List! Loscil makes a lot of updates about her progress via the Announcements area, so make sure you check that out.

Yasu has been doing a lot of work on the back end and has created quite a few new features for us, including something you may have heard about--admin panel permissions. What this means is that we will be able to give moderators (and others, if needed) special access to certain areas of the admin panel, enabling us to delegate out previously admin-only tasks.

I am personally squealing over this like a little girl because I spend an obscene amount of time in the admin panel, cold and alone, working on things that I can now have help on! <3

Cheers to June! :3

Ugliest BC/LBC/MBC User Event

Site Update

Goto News Post



Am I late to the party yet, guys? I wanted to have some fun in the 50k user event celebration as well! But why not do everyone's favorite breeding game in that case? This is a big milestone after all, and everyone loves some gorgeous, stunning, beautiful babies, right?

...

Nah, that's just boring.

So let's see what you users out there can come up with for the most terrifyingly ugly pairs ever! Got a pair that you think is an LBC artist's worst nightmare? Think you can make a BC artist run and hide at the very thought of editing a hybrid with your pets? Will my MBC artists spontaneously combust with your heavily-marking'd mess? Then I think this event is for you!

You can find the rules in each thread below for posting your pairs. The event ends at 11:59 PM on June 5th, and each category results in 5 winners.

Ugliest LBC Baby Event Thread
Ugliest BC Baby Event Thread
Ugliest MBC Baby Event Thread

If anyone has any questions please post them in the news comments, or PM them to me!

Now get out there and make my artists cry...!
(Disclaimer: I'm sorry in advance, breeding team, please don't hurt me in my sleep. ILU!)

EDITED TO ADD: I clarified a few rules in the LBC thread. If I deleted your entry post, that's because I forgot to add some stuff in. You can re-post your pairs in there!

EDIT 2: ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE. MBC thread added!

Rainbow Sky: Candy Shop Edition

Site Update

Goto News Post

collectable_babycloud.pngkyre_sparklepaint.pngcollectable_babycloud.png

The Candy Shop is now open for business!
-- and it's ready to gobble up all of the Heart Rock Candy you found in Rainbow Sky!

collectable_heartrockcandy.pngcollectable_heartrockcandy.pngcollectable_heartrockcandy.png

Let's go on a stroll and explore the goodies, shall we? :3

First up, we have some mementos from Rainbow Sky itself!

fauna_friendlycaramelpudding.pngfauna_friendlyfruitjelly.pngfauna_friendlymarshmallowtwist.pngfauna_friendlylollipop.pngfauna_friendlychocolatetruffle.pngfauna_friendlygummyworm.png

The delicious monsters have been transformed into bite-size fauna for you and your pets to enjoy.
(Though if your pet has a sweet tooth, I recommend only attaching one of these fauna with close supervision.)

collectable_rainbowskytheme.pngclothing_rainbowskywallpaper.png

We are also offering a Rainbow Sky Theme and a Rainbow Sky Wallpaper. The theme unlocks the Adventure background on your account permanently, and the Wallpaper is a wearable for your HA. Now you never have to leave the bright and cheery fantasy land!

collectable_acutiepie.png

This is A Cutie Pie--and it looks like you're making it blush!
Use this item to unlock a colorful "Cutiepie" forum title (psst, take a look at any of my posts to see what it looks like).

For potion and pet fanatics, we have some adorably powerful magic items that will do cute things to your active pet!

magic_regularcapsule.png

The Regular Capsule will turn your active pet into a random coloration from the Rainbow Sky area. If you weren't able to snag all the pets you wanted before the region closed, this might be a lucky item for you!

collectable_superhappyfuncapsule.png

The bright, beaming Super Happy Fun Capsule will turn your active pet into a random pet from the Seasonal Shop. There are 25 Candy Shop pets to collect, so if you can't afford to buy all of the pets individually, or if you just enjoy a good gamble, I'd recommend this one. c:

Here's a sample of pets you'll find in the shop:

maki_sleepymoon.pngusaro_chibiwinged.pngshen_pinkmoononice.png
suune_cottoncandy.pngpoofle_rainbowsky.pngtavi_pinkpanda.png

Finally, we have the Jar of Stars...

magic_jarofstars.png

... which will turn your active pet into one of 10 hybrids exclusive to the bottle. Hint: If you'd like to see which 10 they are, go to the Aywapedia, sort by Newest, and look for the 10 that have a "season" of starjar13.

Here's a sample of 3 pets you can find inside the Jar of Stars:

quetzal_pandapj.pngkoatl_wishkeeper.pngpaleo_rawrasaur.png

*Note: You can also obtain all pets through the normal methods--zaps, potions, eggs, etc.*

What the Candy Shop really has oodles and oodles of, however, is Human Avatar clothing!
There are quite a few wearables in the shop, so I'll show you our "wardrobes" first. :3

collectable_apackofmischiefmarkers.pngclothing_neonskirtstack.pngcollectable_no-face.pngcollectable_dolledupdresser.png

A Pack of Mischief Markers opens up into 9 colorful body doodles, the Neon Skirt Stack opens into 6 bright tutus, the Emote Expression Bundle gives you 6 silly emoticon faces, and the Dolled Up Dresser opens into 7 "dolled up" items (1 lipstick, 3 eyes, and 3 wigs).

We also have several sets that you can buy individual pieces from to mix and match!

clothing_naptimenightcap.pngclothing_naptimenighlights.pngclothing_naptimebedroomwall.png

The Naptime set has 10 pieces--including pajamas, holdables, and background elements.

clothing_cutesalmonblouse.pngclothing_cutebonnet.pngclothing_cutebunnyslippers.png

The titular Cute set has 5 pieces--all well-tailored wearables.

clothing_cloudyboots.pngclothing_cloudybottom.pngclothing_cloudytop.png

If you enjoy long walks in the sky, then you might like the Cloudy set! (Doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything.)

clothing_neko-channeckruff.pngclothing_neko-chanshirt.pngclothing_neko-chanboots.png

For more formal affairs, we have a 6-piece Neko-chan set!

clothing_gloombgonejacket.pngclothing_gloombgoneromper.pngclothing_gloombgonesneakers.png

Something got you down? Put on this 6-piece Gloom B Gone set and you'll be perked up in no time!



Ever find something that works so well for you that you want it in every color available? We have three Shining Dress colors and 4 Curly Bob colors for you to indulge in.



We also have items inspired by everything from bubbles, to fruit, to fleece and more!

If you are overwhelmed and excited by all of the new clothing options, I suggest visiting our Preview Wardrobe feature, where you can try on all of the new clothes and see what you'd like to purchase. :3



Enjoy the treats!
The Candy Shop will be open through June 6th at 11:59 p.m. so make sure you use up your Heart Rock Candy by then. n_n

And please join me in thanking LesLarmes for putting on the event and getting all of these glorious things created for all of us to have fun with. <3

Marshmallow Twists, anyone? :D
