Bottled Summer is now chilling in the GP Shop for 10 GP. Here are all the pets available in it (note, though, that some can be found in explore. No Ara pets can be found in explore though, just the potion!):
Have fun collecting all the May 2010 Pets, if such a thing is your desire!
3. Premium Monthly Item!
Scratch scratch scratch...
Look forward to our upcoming "Fauna" feature to use your box! This will contain something specific only to May 2010...
4. Recode
Our recode is, unfortunately, going at a painfully slow pace. :[ But we are getting a lot done! I hope to release the Human Avatar shop soon, so if you have any opinion on which NPC should be enslaved employed for that shop, let me know!
Also, we should have Ara ready to be released with the recode!
5. Trophies
April's Trophies have been awarded!

Clarifying some things.
Pets
Hey guys, giving you all another update in which a few misconceptions regarding aspects of breeding will be clarified so that everyone is on the same page. Some of these have been issues that popped up lately and I don't want people to get wrong information from somewhere.
- In regards to user-submitted offspring, whereas we do use them pretty much consistently for all pairings that have edits to them, if you are submitting your own offspring for two same-lineart pets, or for two site-pets in a pair, please be aware that your possibilities may not always be used for the breeding. Sometimes Slash will pick up breedings that are simple and only require overlays or filters to create. For those that don't like this method, please remember that this is originally how baby-making was done for two identical-lined pets when the site first began. We have improved the system on how artists make offspring for any pairs that have edits, but we are not required to use any user-submitted babies. It simply aids in making the process easier, and we do try to use the majority submitted.
- In regards to asking others to make your user-submitted offspring, you may not, under any circumstances, ask for payment for this service (or offer it out) in BP, GP, items, or otherwise, publicly on the forums.
- In regards to engagement rings, I want to state that engagement rings were meant to ensure that you get an extra offspring. Some users have the misconception that each time you breed two married pets that you automatically will get 3+ babies from it. For LBC breedings and hybrid breedings alike, it ensures that you will always get at least two -- you may not always get three or more! Remember that the minimum number for all breedings is one offspring, so all the engagement ring does is guarantee that you will get at least two.
Thanks everyone! I hope this was clear and concise in explanation.

Breeding Update!
Pets
A reminder to keep sending your .psds and baby predicts to [email protected] as that is what we are using to house all .psd files from now on. This is also the email that you can send all questions and concerns about breedings to as well (as well as contacting me via PM).
The artists and I are working hard for you guys and we hope to be up-to-date in our breeding queue very soon!

- The recode is going well. It's taking longer than we thought, but we also don't want to release it without a bunch of new features to go along with it!

PSDs
Pets
Please e-mail any pet PSDs you have to [email protected], following the instructions below...
If your pet is a CUSTOM...
Title your e-mail "CUSTOM PSD - #1" where 1 is the ID number of your custom, then attach the PSD file to the e-mail. Do this for every PSD you have.
This should hopefully make the breeding process easier, as all offspring artists will have access to this e-mail account.
