Site Update
It's time to usher in August with new seasonal goodies!
We'll start off the new month with a colorful parade of August-themed pets to add to your collections!
Let's start off with 9 pretty pets that celebrate everything from swimming to flying!
They're waiting for you in the GP Shop. :3
And here comes another troop of 9 lovely pets from the bottom of the sea to the dessert table!
You can find them in the BP Shop.
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
You get the payment that corresponds to the contest you entered.
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will melt your crayons.
Made from peridot found right here in Ay, this lovely potion is the Essence of August 2012.
It will randomly change your active pet into one of the colors above and can be found in the GP Shop!
On its way to Ay, it seems that our monthly Lunaris got into a bit of a brawl with a rival Ippo.
He needs to brush off his stars and fix his mane, so he'll be fashionably late, but you can take home his rival if you swing by Trash for Treasure!
The Zodiac Leo Ippo will only be hanging around for this month!
The premium monthly item for August is a quaint little Picnic Basket that you might find will be a big help in Adventure!
By using the Picnic Basket, you will unlock a "picnic" feature on your account. What you will then be able to do is move food items into the basket from your inventory and have them right at your fingertips on the Adventure screen! Your Picnic Basket is quite magical in the sense that there is no limit to how much food you can fill it with. Here's a little visual demonstration of what happens after you unlock the feature (by first going to your inventory and clicking Use):
There are a couple things we still need to tweak with Picnic Baskets, including adding a removal food option and fixing the issue with closing the pop-up window (you just have to click Close twice). But Yasu did an AWESOME job on making this request come to life. For something so small, it's very complicated.
Just to clarify, yes, you can add large quantities of one item to your basket at once, and you can also mass-feed your pet through the basket as well. :) We hope you guys enjoy this convenience!
"I FLIPPIN' LOVE PICNICS."
A new set of monthly contests has been posted!
September Monthly Pets - BP Shop
September Monthly Pets - GP Shop
September Monthly Customs
Theme: Circus!
What else do we have going on this month?
You can look forward to a new spin on the Vampires vs. Zombies event, Rewind Paleo Day, a mysterious region opening mid-month, contest results and new pet contests (like for the next Raw!), tutorial revamps, and more!
Yasu and I are going to try and keep our pace going with fixes, implementing suggestions, expanding features, and of course further integrating Adventure! If everything goes well, we will then be able to move forward with gardening/farming! I'm getting a little ahead of myself there, but that's the plan. XD
Here's to a great new month!

Inventory Downtime
Site Update
Hey guys!
We're working on a snazzy new item for you but ran into a little problem.
Yasu might need to take inventories down for a short amount of time, so if they do go down, you will not be able to use them from 3:30 PM AST til 4:00 PM AST. You can still continue to play games and earn items through features, you just won't be able to view or use them during that time.
Thanks for your understanding! We hope to make this as quick as possible. :3

Adventure and Beyond!
Site Update
I have a little basket of updates for you that I think you'll be glad to see. :3
The Enchanted Forest now has rock/tree/burrow/pond events!
The Wasteland got some new pets last night and more will be uploaded soon to make a couple of those quests easier!
The equip links on the sidebar and under My Pets have been changed to redirect to the Adventure equipment screen instead of the Explore one.
(Yasu inadvertently changed the buttons on the side, I'm going to ask him to change those back.)
Retired Collections is back!
Yasu essentially had to reprogram the entire page, so please let me know if anything is amiss.
Our Art Gallery is now working properly on both user and staff sides!
Expect judging and new theme updates on that front soon. :3
The Contests panel on the Welcome Back page has been fixed so that I can finally update it! I'll direct your attention there starting in August when I can spruce it up with a batch of new dates and contests for you to keep track of.
We're still working on updating the User Spotlight panel, but that's another upcoming development that you'll see regular updates on once it's integrated.
Don't forget to submit your last-minute entries for our monthly events!

Good luck!
Hope you're having fun with the Seaside!

Welcome to the Seaside!
Site Update
You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be!
Welcome to the Seaside!
Our newest Ara region is open for avid adventurers and has a plethora of new wildlife to see!
Of course there's also a whole new slew of island-themed gatherables for you to collect (which we will be making a museum collection for soon)!
We're also celebrating the opening of the Seaside with some new energy and hunger foods that you'll see popping up. :3
You will need to first master the fiery, desolate Wasteland before you'll be welcome in the Seaside, however.
So ready your pet and head off to Adventure!

Hide and Seek Event & Adventure Pets
Pets
The pets in Adventure want to play a little game with you!
They believe they can hide better than you can catch them. Want to take them up on that challenge?
Some more Adventure pets have appeared! Wear some sunglasses while catching them because some are quite bright!
Next week's bonus Adventure pets are the Phanto, Reve and Soli!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!

Story Game!
Site Update

Prize: Silver Potion
Congratulations!
Sennara will be leaving the current story up until Sunday night so you can catch the ending!
Then new submissions with a fresh story will begin. :3
The personal Custom Queue will be getting some extra tools soon, including a preview screen!
Incidentally, I'd like to clarify that this feature was repeatedly suggested and wildly popular over the years, so I thought it was implied we went ahead with a community suggestion. So, thank you to everyone who had a part in the conception and support of this feature, which you guys seem to be very much enjoying. n_n
