Site Update
Let's dive into the month of June with a summery batch of GP Shop pets!
And continue on the adventure with our colorful BP Shop pets!
If you colored one of these incredible pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will melt your crayons on the sidewalk.
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!
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
The new monthly contests have been announced!
July Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
July Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
July Monthly Customs: Enter
Theme: Technology
Per our rotating schedule, the Nova Custom Items have been moved to the Premium Outlet where they will remain for the entire month of June. After the month ends, they will move back into the GP/BP Shops for July and August. Looks like you guys are enjoying these! :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
- 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
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
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!
Let's go on a stroll and explore the goodies, shall we? :3
First up, we have some mementos from Rainbow Sky itself!
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.)
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!
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!
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!
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:
Finally, we have the Jar of Stars...
... 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:
*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
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!
The Naptime set has 10 pieces--including pajamas, holdables, and background elements.
The titular Cute set has 5 pieces--all well-tailored wearables.
If you enjoy long walks in the sky, then you might like the Cloudy set! (Doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything.)
For more formal affairs, we have a 6-piece Neko-chan set!
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

Seasonal Shop Reminder
Site Update
We are currently working on stocking the Candy Shop with goodies to spend your Heart Rock Candy on!
Please do NOT purchase anything until the shop is declared as being officially open (it'll be a huge news post; you won't miss it). Items may change price, function, or not work at all while being stocked, and we will not issue any refunds for premature purchases.
Thank you!

PBC User Event
Contests
But wait, the 50k user celebrations aren't over yet!
In honour of the site reaching the 50k milestone, rage and I are here to present some PBC related events for users to take part in!
Below this you will find five different themes which will link you to their respective threads. Each of the threads has a mystery PBC artist assigned to it, awaiting a winner to be picked so they can start creating the PBC offspring.
Ocean
Horror
Mechanical
Bioluminescence (glow)
Nature
It's a pretty simple game - submit a pairing of your choice based on the theme and stand to win a PBC breeding between your submitted pets! It’s one pair per account in each thread and the winner will be picked via random generator.
The PBC breeding will come with a life seed and speedy breeding ticket automatically attached, so you're guaranteed to receive your offspring quickly! There will also be small spot prizes in the form of platinum pebbles given out to random users throughout each thread.
This event ends at 11:59 PM June 3rd so that should be plenty of time for you guys to find a pair and submit it to the thread. :)
edit: If messages could either be directed to us in pms or in the news comments, that would be great! We're aiming to keep the actual event threads as focused as possible. :)
We hope you enjoy!

The bright and cheery Rainbow Sky will be leaving after 11:59 p.m. tonight (we gave you guys an extra day due to the site's shenanigans earlier this week).
