Third Egg's the Charm!

Contests

Goto News Post

A third egg has been hidden in the Easter Egg Field!

I'll give you an extra hint for this one.
It's in one of these three colors:

Good luck!

FYI, it's my boyfriend's birthday today so I'll be spending the rest of the evening with him.
(Idk if you've heard of him, his name's Dew.)
We'll get back to our regularly scheduled updates tomorrow. :3

I kinda wanna put the next egg in the field; this is fun to watch for me. XD

For our artsy types, make sure you check out the post below if you haven't already!

Artist Call

Site Update

Goto News Post

"I am totally not a SCC. Nope. Not a SCC."

A new USD job has been posted in the Jobs forum.

In general, you create an SCC species and two colorations on it, based off a keyword (or nothing at all...).

~~Don't look at me. I don't have any plans up my sleeve.~~

The Wasteland

Site Update

Goto News Post

The fresh scent of grass and new dirt quickly dissipated as thick, noxious fumes invaded the land, a figure following in their wake.

Famine scoffed at the Seedling Suune, trampling the baby plant sprout into dust with its hooves.

"For too long have I let you enjoy the lush paradise of the Enchanted Forest and the bounty that the worlds of Ay and Ara provide you. Now it's time to show you a place after my own heart and see how you fare. I bring you... the Wasteland."

Click here to visit our latest Adventure region--if you dare!

You'll find some new gatherables here that will be used for Museum Collections.
(Yes, we will be adding new collections and prizes for all regions, just hang tight!)

And what would an Adventure region be without pets?!

We're looking to add roughly 20 more pets to this region within the next week, so get those Ara submissions in!

General Notes on Adventure & Explore

I'm sure you noticed that the Explore system is currently disabled.
The script was causing some issues for us and Yasu felt it wisest to close the system for the duration of the Easter Event, but we do plan on having it temporarily resume after April is over.

I also wanted to let you know that the other Adventure areas like the Fields, Rainforest, etc. are technically open, you just have to master the region before to unlock them. We are still tweaking a lot of values and reworking the system a little bit, which is why all areas aren't completely open. I will update you more on our adjustments, changes and remapping once it's all finalized and in working order.

Edit: .. Er, they should be open, but looks like they aren't cooperating. XD We'll get that fixed. I'll make an announcement when we do!

We're facing a couple snags in trying to work out the kinks with Adventure, but I assure you fixes are coming!
This is one of the biggest hurdles we're currently facing, but once the system operates as it should we will be able to streamline it and use the platform for some really cool things, not to mention give those old items uses so we can bring new shinies in!

I really appreciate your patience as we work through tackling the beast that is Adventure.
In the meantime, enjoy the Wasteland!

.. As much as you can, anyway, what with bones, dead things and cliffs around every corner.

Egg Hunting!

Contests

Goto News Post

It's time for another Egg Hunt!
To make up for yesterday's yolklessness, I've hidden two eggs today--and I'll even tell you where they are.

I put them in some Easter Eggs! 8D
I won't tell you which color(s) or what the eggs look like, though. If you find one of the hidden eggs, the instructions included will tell you how to claim your mystery prize!

After both eggs are found, I will make an announcement with the winners and show which eggs they were so the artists can get their payment. :)

Happy hunting!

Art Gallery

Contests

Goto News Post

Art Gallery

The art gallery has been judged!

The theme was Aywas Food, where you had to create an edible item unique to Aywas using actual food!
We definitely have to do more contests that involve goodies because these were a blast to look through.
Here are our six winners!

They won:

The current theme is Earth Day!
You can use any type of medium for this. :3

Now be on your way! Why are you looking at me like that?
Ooh, you probably want to know what this shiny golden thing is.

Glad you asked! This is a Golden Basket Charm.
It works just like a Fertility Potion, but it has a whopping 3 charges!

You might see it appearing in a shop around here soon for a limited time, so keep an eye out on the News. :)

Earth Day!

Site Update

Goto News Post

Happy Earth Day!

To quote The Nature Conservancy, "the Earth provides nourishment for over 7 billion people everyday."
That's pretty amazing if you really think about it.

No matter where you live, Earth is the home that we share.
We take care of our homes by cleaning, doing chores, repairs and general upkeep, so why should the Earth be any different? With the wear and tear of billions upon billions of people, our planet is going to need a little help.

Here are a few Earth Day links you can check out if you want more information or are looking for ways to give back:

Earth Day Network | EPA - Earth Day | International Earth Day | Picnic for the Planet

To celebrate Earth Day, we've added ten new pets to the Trash Shop! Turn your trash and things you're not using into some neat pets that would adore a loving home! Better grab 'em soon, though, because they'll only be here through the end of April.
