Site Update
Ever wanted to make some really funky mutated babies for the site? We currently have great need for some more RBC artists right now, so this is a call to those interested in mashing babies together for fun -- and science! The occasional fluke needs to be created too (but really, why would anyone want something normal anyhow? Mutants reign supreme...!) so we'd like well-rounded candidates that can also do metal colorations for the less odd offspring.
You can find the application here, in the Breeding Chat forum. Just send an email app to [email protected] to be considered. No deadline! Remember that this is also a GP paid position.
You are also welcome to bump your applications if previously sent, though newer art might be the best examples for us!
Mauri and I are excited for some new blood in the RBC force... :D

Our Father Time Melo is here to remind everyone that the Aywas clock has "fallen back" one hour since Daylight Saving Time in the US ended today. :3 Just wanted to let you know in case you did a double take looking at our clock today!

Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Halloween* and we received bags full of artistic treats! So many, in fact, that we picked a few bonus winners this week!
Here are our featured winners:
They won:
Congratulations!
The current theme is Candy Creations/Collages!
Now you can put all that leftover candy or your piles of candy wrappers to good use by creating something Aywas-themed with them! Note: If using candy wrappers with names/logos on them, please censor/remove them due to copyright.
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!

Welcome to November!
Site Update
Welcome to the month of November!
From brilliant ideas to brilliant colors, the GP Shop pets continue to inspire!
And the beautiful BP Shop pets keep the creativity going as natural muses!
If you colored one of these awesome pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-November) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The Essence of November 2014 is a nod to National Novel Writing Month!
Using this potion on your active pet will randomly change it into one of the colorations above. Try your hand at some ink and see what happens!
For the premium monthly item, we have a Canvas Tote. We're still filling up all of the bags to give out, so I will let you know when it's ready! (Should be tomorrow.)
Have a party, it's your birthday!
We are on our ninth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series.
Remember, the Reed Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through November 24th, then a new birthday feline will take over!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!
The new monthly contests have been announced!

December Monthly Customs

Good luck with your entries!

Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes.
We have another big month ahead of us! Here's a sneak peek:
- NaNoWriMo (more details about that to come)
- The long-awaited, rescheduled Fauna Day!
- Holiday festivities and surprises~
- New Raw pets are on their way! Congratulations to the "Condyl" and the moss deer concepts, our poll winners. :3 However, considering how close the races were, we'll also be in contact with designers of some other popular concepts!
- More polls are coming up on a variety of topics, so keep an eye out from posts by me asking for your thoughts on monthly essence themes, advent prizes for December, and more!
In case you missed it:
- We now have a GCC Design Showcase!
- The Welcome Back Page has returned as well! It now loads over twice as many customs as it did previously, but still needs some sprucing up.
- We also have a new, rough idea for Teo releases. As Slash outlined below, we are thinking of releasing Teo eggs through random events upon loading the page, meaning you can find one during normal, everyday play. Unlike the floating item events in the past that awarded the item to the fastest player, the Teo egg would only show up for the person that "rolled" the lucky page.
- In a minor update, the top layout search no longer loads an error when you click on a pet after searching with it.
Here's to November! *clinks teacup*
(Be sure to check out Slash's posts below as well!)

Site Update

Leading up to November
Site Update
Here is some of the new content for November!
Two Awareness buttons are showing up on the left side for the month of November -- Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness and Men's Health Awareness. Educate yourself and your family and friends on both issues to ensure good health!
The Jeweled Crystal's new bases are in, and congratulations to the winners of this contest!
The Jeweled Hybrid Crystal is not far behind.
The Rock Custom Crystal doesn't want to be left behind! The skeleton horse is here to stay for two months.
So, about those Teos... we are looking into making a new feature to release them. The rough plans so far are to have them released through random events upon loading the page so players only have to play the site normally to have a chance at getting one.
If you see an egg upon loading the page, you can claim it. The egg would only show up for the player who rolled it, so it wouldn't be like the floating items in the past that required a player to grab it faster than other players.
The GCC Design feature has a new front page to showcase designs made by the artists. Also somewhat related, the Welcome Back page loads about twice as many customs as it did before.
This is a small update, but the top layout search no longer loads an error when you click on a pet after searching with it.
