Chapter One
Site Update
Story Game has officially begun!
The starting post was kept very vague because I want to give you the opportunity to create the settings of the story! This week I would like to see some entries with descriptions of our hero and the world he's traveling in! You do not have to try to build the entire story in your entry, feel free to leave some details open for next week's writers to weave!
Don't forget that the first winner will be drawn on April 24th, 2016 and will receive a
Hybrid Custom Crystal
More information about the Story Game can be found in the Knowledge Base article!

Teo Set Instructions
Site Update
Hello friends! If you're looking to apply for Mayday Teo sets, please regard the following instructions. Send a message to #15 with the following:
1) Post up the sketch images that you have created in the PM. You can continue checking new sketches for approval until the deadline to turn in all Teo sets.
2) Include examples of your finished products. If you have worked on Teos for sales before, include that. If not, GCC examples work great - Teos are generally gold-level, and sometimes slightly into silver.
3) Include your PayPal e-mail so it can be easily accessed if your sketches are approved, and when you start turning in the sets.
A teo set involves making one 75% (or so) edited base and coloring it five times. You can, as well, make a unique of the set by editing it an additional 10%, and the artist gets to keep/sell the unique.
The pay for one set is $50/75 GP (artist's choice). Additional bonus money is included based on the day that the sets sell out during the sale.

Story Time!
Site Update
I am pleased to announce that Story Game will be returning as one of the regular weekly games!
Some of you may be asking, "What is Story Game?"
Story Game is a story in which users will help create the adventure! When a new story starts, there will be a brief introduction added to the main Story Game page. Users will have the entire week to submit a new section to the story that follows along with each previous winning entry. Each week, a winner will be chosen, their entry will appear on the Story Game page, and they will receive a random prize chosen by the Story Mod!
Speaking of prizes...
Story Game prizes will not be announced until a winner is chosen. However, since this is the very first week of Story Game being revived, I would like to offer a sneak peek and let everyone know that the first winner will receive a..
Hybrid Custom Crystal
What better way to quell that Fetail addiction?
Story Game will officially begin on April 17th, 2016! The first winner will be drawn on April 24th, 2016.
More detailed information about Story Game can be found in the Knowledge Base article!
If there is anything you might like to see added to the KB article, you can PM me with your ideas!
Don't forget to read all of the news posts below! They have important updates about the Art Gallery, Fetail, Castaway Canyon, Easter Contests, Adventure, and Teos!

Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged, albeit later than planned!
Unfortunately I must confess that I forgot I was now doing this, and Monday passed me by with nary a glance. I apologise and will strive to keep this on time from now on.
I won't extend the time as there's still a little over a week for entries =)
The theme was Wibbit and we didn't receive a lot of love for these amazing amphibians, but the two entries we did get are fantastic:
They won:
Congratulations!
The current theme is Cut Throat Cooking!
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Showcase this odd but exciting theme with any medium your heart desires, just keep it Aywas-related. <3
Good luck!
Upcoming themes:
April 25th - May 8th: Aywas Coffee Shop
May 9th - May 22nd - Aywas In Bloom*
May 23rd - June 6th - Aywas Fashion Show
If you ever want to submit an Art Gallery theme idea, we're always taking suggestions here.
Also check out some hybrid news and contests below!

That's a funny looking hybrid!
Site Update
So, who thought the Fetail was a funny joke for April Fool's? We noticed that you seem to really like the Fetail, so we decided to go the way of your suggestions and keep both the joke hybrid and produce a real hybrid.
When you breed a Teo x Faux with a breeding coin, you will receive a Fetail! You can also ask for a Fetail using the Hybrid Genetics Kit with any Breeding Coin breeding.
When you breed a Teo x Faux with a special rare breeding item (like the Emaias and Alidaes have their own item), you will receive the real rare hybrid!
That way, everyone is happy :)
But first, we'll have a contest! Do you have a cool idea for the actual rare hybrid for the Teo and Faux? Come join our contest! Entries may be posted until April 23, 2016 at 11:59 PM.
You have about four hours left to get Mystery Box tickets! Remember, one ticket comes free with every purchase of $5 or more, until 11:59 PM tonight. If you want one, snag one!

Castaway Canyon is here!
Site Update
In the depths of massive landfills servicing all of Ay, there lies a place where you can visit, if you can tolerate the stench... it's called Castaway Canyon, and a host of creatures have made this dump their home.
Swarms of Token pets can be found lurking in between garbage heaps in Castaway Canyon, making this the first adventure area where you can seek out pets like Itoa, Serafex, and the brand new Alaroos!
Sixty-one new pets have been uncovered in this strange new land, so you'll be quite busy trying to pick them all up... but worry not! This isn't a seasonal location, it's permanent, so collect them at your leisure.
If you submitted pets to our Castaway Canyon thread that were not accepted, you may use your designs for anything you please now!
Most of the items you can find are... well... trash. I mean, what did you expect to find in a trash heap? Gold?
Well, maybe someone can turn that trash into treasure...
Have you ever wanted a Rusted Breeding Coin? The Museum has a brand new collection for Castaway Canyon. If you collect all ten items listed, you'll have yourself a shiny--er... well, a breeding coin, at least. It might not really be shiny...
Do you see all these Garbage Bags lying around? Well, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right? If you open a Garbage Bag you'll find 1-3 random r1-r100 items. Who knows what you could find, right? Maybe it won't be total trash!
Do you like collecting monsters? There are ten new monsters showing up in the Castaway Canyon! Everyone wants their own Toxic Trashbabby right?
HEY! Look at this! A new lineart has peeked its head in from the Castaway Canyon! The Simii has been needing a bit of a facelift, so here's where you're going to take a little vote...
Which do you want to be the official lineart for the Simii: #Old or #New?
Leave your vote in the comments below!
That's... that's a Moldy Sandwich.. an Empty Water Bottle... a Pizza Box... wait! WAIT! Are your pets keeping these pieces of trash as Fauna?!
... Well, I guess if your pets have the kinds of inclinations that my Snoodle does, maybe they'll find that appealing. But honestly, maybe I should try to get him a REAL fauna...
~Beep Boop~
Slashbot (#3) here, we were also so excited to hear that Castaway Canyon was being released that we worked with UmberFluffyDee (#8) to create a new Trash Species!
The Cavishi is a new permanent member of the Token Genus family, able to be made with any of the Trash Shop Tokens. If you're interested in coloring a Cavishi, come visit the Cavishi Submissions Thread, we need some of these angry potatoes running around Castaway Canyon!
~Beep~
That is it for this Slashbot's interruption, keep an eye out for more upcoming features, and another special shoutout to UmberFluffyDee (#8) for bringing such a fluffy beast to life!
Last but not least, let's be sure to thank all the people who contributed to the Castaway Canyon! All the pet designers, item makers, monster makers, and our background artist - you've done a fantastic job and we put together a cool new area. Go and enjoy it!
(And don't forget to vote for the Simii - #OLD or #NEW!)

Congratualtions to the winners, prizes will be sent out shortly!
For the final wrap up, everything will close tonight at midnight. The Easter Field will stop allowing you to drop eggs in, and the Seasonal Shop will be emptied, so make sure you spend those points! The Easter Pets hiding in Adventure are also going to be leaving if not tonight then really soon, so make sure you grab them up!
We hope that you enjoyed the Easter Event, and new Alt Vion!!
*Payments for the Easter Submissions should have all gone out today*
Edit: Added the links to the story contest, not sure why those vanished. Also we are aware the Easter Field did not close as planned, so please continue to enjoy it until it does close!
Since this post is a little long I also want to remind everyone that the Mystery Box is open, there will be Mayday Teos (applications open up on April 16th), and there was also some exciting news about Adventure, so make sure you read the previous news posts!

Adventure Updates Round 2!
Comics
As noted in an earlier news post, the default Hidden Item skills weren't correctly working for some of the more recent genus. I am happy to report that all genus should now have an assigned default Hidden Item Skill! As stated before, this correction applies retroactively to all existing pets.
This isn't the only update!
We have officially revamped the EXP regarding adventure battles. We changed not only the EXP required to level, but also the EXP earned per battle. While it will still take you time to level up your pets if they're high level, it should no longer be so intense as to discourage players from attempting to level up the pets they desire. Hopefully adventure can be a little more fun to play with now! :D
Of course, this is not the end of our Adventure work and fixes, but I hope you guys enjoy these updates as much as the coder and I do! If you encounter any problems, please head over to this thread and let us know!
That's all for now! Please be sure to check out the news post below regarding Mayday Teos, Mystery Box tickets, Alidae and Emaia Seeds, and more!

Out with the old, in with the new
Site Update
Do you remember the SCCs placed in the USD Shop? It's about time to swap them out for some new ones so if you'd like to have an SCC in the USD shop, you have one week to post your submission on the thread :)
We'll be going through the existing SCCs and paying out any remaining royalties, then removing them on April 20th for the new ones. But we definitely need some new ones first, so have fun making them!
Oh yeah, and if you want a last minute one, go grab it!
Did you miss the bonus items that were up for sale? We've popped them back in until April 14th 11:59 PM so you have about a day and a half to grab them if you meant to.
But what if you need some bonus credit to snag one before they're gone?
Who misses the Mystery Box? It's about time for the tickets to return, so here they are! If you don't remember what Mystery Box tickets are, they allow you to pull a random item out of the Mystery Box and one ticket comes free with every purchase of $5.00.
The Mystery Box tickets will be available until April 14th at 11:59 PM. They'll be funding the first step toward...
Mayday Teos!
If you're thinking about making MayDay Teos, applications for those will open on April 16th for set approval, so now's a great time to get started on sketches and concepts! All sets will be due by May 28th so be sure to plan your schedules around those dates if you want to participate.
We have decided to limit Paintbrush redemptions to $200 a week per individual user. Please be sure to space your large paintbrush redemptions out from now on!
