Lunar Meteor Incoming!
Site Update

Have you looked up at the sky lately? *wink*

The Lunar Meteor has returned for its annual stop and is now accessible through August 24th at 11:59 p.m. with optimal viewing times being this upcoming weekend.
If you are a newer user that has joined within the last year, or if you're a veteran player missing some colorations from this area, you'll be happy to know that all of the original pets and items have been preserved here, so you can catch up on your collecting!



But of course we've added 10 new stellar pets for everyone to enjoy as well!
Keep your gaze up, as more will be added throughout the week. :3

We have also activated the Lunar Meteor Museum Collection for this week only! Your reward is the Star Ticket, which will be used in several raffles for out of this world items! We'll have more details on these later in the week.
If you already completed the collection in a previous year, you won't be able to complete it again.

Finally, to help kick off the celestial festivities, a Wish Upon a Star thread has opened! Come whisper your wish to us for a chance at winning one of your favorite site pets!
Have fun out there, and watch out for falling rocks!

Introducing the Spino!
Pets

Something has stomped its way into the Aywas world!
... but it can't be that little guy up there. It sounds like something much larger.
With the help of a Slashbot, and a lot of patience (and possibly some gnashing of teeth), MegaCreomon (#4751) has created a new genus!
I am very excited to finally reveal...

... the Spino!
Click the image above to download the PSD.
The Spino is a distinct, rarer new Trash Shop/Token genus, which means that it has its own set of custom creators and cannot be made with the standard Tokens. Let me show you what they look like!



To create a custom Spino, you will need a Spino Token, which currently comes in Metal, Blue, and Gold levels and can be found in the Trash for Treasure Shop. You'll notice that this Token set asks for quite a bit of Trash Points, which MegaCreomon intentionally asked for to keep the Spino valuable, and because we've had so many suggestions for higher tier, exclusive items in this shop!

While you're perusing the store, you will also come across two new fauna--the Miniature Spino at the very top of this news post, and the Skeletal Spino above. They'd be the perfect companions for a new Spino custom. :3
Speaking of Spino customs, I will be setting up a BP raffle momentarily for your chance to win a custom Spino design we had created in honor of the pet's debut!
We hope you enjoy the newest member of the Aywas pet family!
If you're a fan, be sure to thank MegaCreomon for bringing the Spino to our world. <3

Reminder - Job Opening - Official Pet Colorist
Site Update

I just wanted to post a quick reminder that we are still accepting applications for our USD/GP job opening for an official pet colorist/designer.
In this position, you will be coloring and editing pets (from metal to gold-level) for various site events, projects, holidays, etc. Most of your creations will be used as site pets that you find in the Aywapedia, but we will occasionally have custom requests.
To read more about the job description and to apply, please click here!

Good luck!
As I originally mentioned, there is no official deadline for this, as we will use the thread as needed, but I anticipate making hiring decisions this weekend.
(Sorry for the news spam, I promise I'm done for the night! XD)
