Spring eggsplosion!
Site Update

More parts of Ay have been overtaken by Easter and spring celebrations!



You will find ten new limited-time Adventure pets at the Bridge along with some handy collectables...







Seven colorful dyes!

You will need these bottles and a Blank Egg (also found at the Bridge) to make fantastic creations with the Easter Painter.



There are ten pet projects for you to create!
If you get inundated with extra dyes or gatherables you don't need, trash them and turn them in for five new limited-time Trash for Treasure pets!

But be on your guard for the Egg Snatcher! D:

All of these pets, dyes, features, etc. will be available until April 13th at 11:59 p.m..
This means that the Egg Field will also be closing down at this time. Like in past years, we will shut down the field from depositing and let you guys continue collecting one egg every ten minutes until all the eggs are gone!
On the last day of the celebration, we also might release some shinies, so make sure you swing by!

Rules

Friendly neighborhood reminder that you cannot put mature/explicit/graphic content inside Easter Eggs.
Any content disallowed by our ToS extends to what's inside eggs, and anything that would fall under the [M] umbrella should not be used because there is no way to flag your egg as mature.
Our eggs are young and fragile, don't make them say bad things. :C

Item Gallery!
New Feature

I am very excited to announce that we now have an Item Gallery feature!
Click here to get started on yours!
You should now find an Item Gallery link in the navigation bar under Account, as well as a link to your gallery included in the link box on your profile. Items in your inventory also have a Move to Gallery option, and our search page now includes galleries if you scroll to the bottom.
We will be adding more shopkeepers as well as more CSS options and will be looking into incorporating Quickstock as well. :3
Play around, show of your goods, and tell us what you think!

Minty Fresh Adventure Pets!
Pets
A lot of greens and browns this time for Adventure Pets! Perhaps they're trying to camouflage into the Adventure maps a bit better...






If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! Remember, you can earn SP!
Make sure you check out the news posts below this, especially the new one for the month of April!

Welcome to April!
Site Update

Let's spring into April with a new batch of shimmering GP Shop pets!















And take home a bunch of BP Shop pets for a pretty rainy day!















If you colored one of these incredible pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will strike your crayons with lightning. My aim is that good.

Take a swig of spring with the Essence of April 2013, which is modeled after a sweet pea!
This potion will change your active pet into one of the April 2013 monthlies above.

Monthly Lunaris
Here on Aywas, April always begins a new themed set of Lunari. Lunarises. Lunarii.
Whatever, you get the idea.
But this one thinks he's clever and is hiding out due to the 1st of the month, so I will let you know when this galactic prankster is ready to visit those of you with April birthdays!

The premium monthly item is a lovely Sakura Wardrobe! It contains 10 wearable geisha and samurai-inspired pieces for your HA, previewed below.


You can check out the item database to see exactly what's included!



The new monthly contests have been announced!
I hope to see lots of submissions and new participants, especially in light of our awesome art event. Despite being crazy busy, I was able to swing by a few livestreams and picked up a couple of handy tips, so I hope you did too! If you were inspired or learned a new trick, put it to the test by entering one of these contests!

Theme: Vintage

Coding Corner
We have a lot of exciting programming news, so you'll be hearing a lot more about individual projects over the next month. I did want to take a moment to highlight two things in particular, though.
Nova is just about done with the brand new feature he's been working on, and it's shiny. *_*
Staff has been testing this out and we think you guys will enjoy it, so stay tuned for the debut in a day or two!

As of March 28th, Yasu is a proud daddy! He and his wife now have a happy, healthy baby girl. :3
Congratulations from all of us at Aywas! <3

Keep enjoying the Easter Field!
We'll have more updates about this and upcoming April events soon. n_n
