More Robot Bleeping Goodness!
Site Update
Eep, Chimera looks rather annoyed, so I'm going to do a quick pitch for the new items he'll now be permanently stocking in his shop!
He was due for some new stuff, wasn't he?
First up is the Owl Bot costume set which has a whopping 15 pieces in it!
You can create these individually with various metal pieces. They look great together as a set but can also be mixed and matched with other clothing items for a unique look.
"But Eri! What if I want to use the whole outfit AND some other pieces in my wardrobe? I can only wear 15 things because you oppress my self-expression. :C"
Not anymore!
Using Layer Keys, you are now able to have up to 30 Layers--double the amount we had before!
We know the Wardrobe user interface is a little messy and plan on implementing some of your suggestions into our spring cleaning, so just bear with us a bit. :3
Awww, this cute Wheelie Bot fauna seems to have wheeled its way into the shop too!
Hmm, what's that glittering thing under this huge heap of clothes and rings and metal?
Ooh! This is a Circuit Board Charm--and oh snap I think it's on sale.
It is stocking in the Metalsmithing Shop at 250 Gold Pieces for this week only!
After March 16th at 11:59 PM, it will go up to 500 Gold Pieces.
.. I should probably tell you what it does, that might help.
The Circuit Board Charm is a breeding add-on compatible with BCs and HBCs only and will tell the artist to edit part of your offspring into a robot, android or other cool metallic object! If the breeding produces one baby, it is guaranteed to be part robot. If the breeding produces multiple offspring, at least one will be infused with robot genetics. That's right, when using this add-on the baby will have some kind of robotic edit!
Our poor pets, the things we do to their babies. XD
Speaking of pets, I think our old merchant friend has something to announce!
"That's quite correct! You all have been diligently gathering pieces since late last night and I dare say I've put them to good use! The Robo-matic has five brand new pets for you to make with your spoils." He tipped his hat, chuckling. "I shall return when I have more!"
Hope you're enjoying Robot Day!

Robo-matic!
Site Update
"Aha!" The merchant looked pleased with himself, though he was now covered in a few smudges of oil. "Your efforts have been successful. With the pieces you all have collected so far, I managed to rig up a little something. The Robo-matic, as I am fondly calling it, is up and ready to go!"
With shattered pieces and parts from the old Mysterious Factory and with a little magic from indigenous Enchanted Forest plants you can now create beautiful new pets!
Here is the first batch of pets hot off the assembly line!
Pretty cool, yes? :3
"Robot Day" festivities will actually be going on for roughly a week.
You will have until March 16th at 11:59 PM to make these pets!
This is a relatively low-key event that gives us a nice opportunity to introduce shiny things while Yasu does fixes. :)
The Mysterious Factory location won't be appearing this time around since Famine is one evil reigning pony, but that's what the Robo-matic and Enchanted Forest are for!
We will be adding many more pets and items throughout the day as well as some raffles for cool prizes like a Ray Gun and Mind Control Helmet, so keep an eye out for that!
Happy Robot Day!

Robot day!
Site Update
After a year of being closed up and collecting dust, we've re-oiled our robot-making machines and are ready to roll out some new pets and items hot off the belts of the Mysterious Factory! Let's turn on the video camera and see if we can get a sneak peek at what's going on in there.
Hrm, that's strange, it seems we're receiving some interference, but from what?
...INCOMING!
W-what was that?
A cold, omnipotent laughter flooded the air as a sickly purple figure manifested out of thick, curling shadows.
Four hollow-sounding hooves clinked slowly across the floor as a metallic scent imbued the air. The smell was not of fresh aluminum or singed wires, it was not the smell of a well-used factory; rather, it was the distinct, coppery aroma of blood. Famine managed to look worse than usual, ripe with bruises and twisted joints.
"Did you really think you had seen the last of me? That your futuristic festivities were safe from my prowess because they utilize inorganic matter? My power has thus far been largely untapped, and I assure you that starvation does not limit itself to literal sustenance. Let's see how you cope with your robotic power supply being cut off."
With an audible snicker and a bit of a limp, Famine was consumed by the shadows it arrived in, retreating to its dark abyss.
From the looks of things, it appears as though the Mysterious Factory has gone dark, and I don't see any pets in sight. That certainly throws a wrench in our plans, now doesn't it? :c
"Do not despair, my friends!" The gold-clad factory merchant chuckled. "If there's one thing I know, it's that anything can be fixed and rebuilt."
"It looks like these bits and bobs are all that remain from the machines and robotic pets lost in the explosion. If my calculations are correct, they seem to be strewn about around in the Enchanted Forest. Egads!"
"Your mission is simple. Take your most valiant pet to the forest and collect as many of these lost pieces as you can. When you have collected enough as a community, I should be able to have the necessary parts to get at least one of our synthesizers and conveyor belts working again."
The explosion did a lot more than just damage the factory, however.
It seems that it also shook loose some metal pieces!
You should once more be able to obtain Iron and Silver pieces through your daily gameplay (and should have already been getting Gold).
In honor of Robot Day and the return of metal pieces, we are permanently adding these three new pets to the Metalsmithing Shop!
We had hundreds of pretty potions uniformly stocked and stored inside the Mysterious Factory, but it looks like the fumes and flames got to them before we could. :C Sorry!
The first potion you see is now known as Mysterious DNA. This is a breeding add-on compatible with Radioactive Breeding Coins/Pendants only! This mysterious looking potion tells the site artist to involve a third parent in your breeding. The third parent will be a random site-pet, and your baby will be a mix of all three. Talk about messing with crazy genetics! You can pick this up in the BP Shop, where it will permanently stock.
The green potion with the bubbling eye? That's Mutagenic Ooze. This is another breeding add-on compatible with Radioactive Breeding Coins/Pendants only! This potion gives a 100% guarantee of the offspring being a mutant. You can find this in the Premium Outlet, where it will permanently stock.
Both add-ons are subject to your breeding being successful!
After all, we're using some unstable items here! Use at your own risk.
Now hop off to the Enchanted Forest and collect those lost parts for our merchant friend!

Ittybitty Fixes!
Site Update
Ugh, you guys forgot about me again. ;____;
Sorry about that, Oakl! :C
You can now find Oakls as a dropdown genus option for Awesome Potions.
You can now move clothing directly into your wardrobe from your deposit box!
No more moving it to your inventory first, and then from your inventory to your wardrobe. Now that's just silly.
Yes, no, maybe so?
When you use an item with a confirmation screen and hit "no," you will now be redirected to the use screen instead of the item pretending that you said "yes."
From there, you can just X out the pop-up if you changed your mind entirely. :3

Calling Silver Artists and Pet Colorists!
Site Update
Are you a
Our current SCC Artist page is sorely in need of some pizazz and more company. I am going to be redoing the page with better instructions, up-to-date artist information and more artist choices so you can commission the pet of your dreams!
To be an official silver artist you must have a solid grasp of anatomy, shading and coloring, be able to provide PSD files, and work well with people. After all, communication is key to a commission!
If you are interested in applying, please send me a PM titled Silver Artist Application with at least 5 recent digital examples of your work. Ideal examples would be fully finished pieces of a variety of creatures. Show me what you can do with a 200 x 200 box! Payment will be discussed on an individual basis and can be either in GP or USD.
If you are a current PBC artist and would like to be listed as a silver artist as well (aka, are willing to take on commissions), contact me and I will put you up there!
The deadline to get your silver artist application in to me is Friday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM.
I am also looking to expand our pet colorist team!
Pet Colorists
Do you love coloring and editing official pet genuses? Do you enjoy designing pets to a theme?
Then you might like being an official pet colorist for Aywas!
To be an official colorist you must have a solid coloring background. Edits are not required but are a bonus. You should be able to consistently deliver at least five pets a week and must also be able to provide .PSD files.
Payment:
5 pets per week - $3 each
10 pets per week - $4 each
15 pets per week - $5 each
20 pets per week - $6 each
$ can be also translated into GP if you prefer GP.
If you are interested in becoming a colorist, please post at least 5 recent examples here.
If you were not selected last time and are still interested, please make a new post for me to review.
The deadline to post examples for this batch of colorists will be Friday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM.
Both silver artists and pet colorists work directly with me to receive assignments and payment, so if you have any questions, toss 'em my way!
Good luck! :3 I look forward to expanding our art teams.

KONY 2012
Site Update
If you haven't already heard of Kony 2012...
This video is trying to publicize the horrific actions of Joseph Kony, who abducts children and forces them to be child soldiers. The goal of the campaign is to have Joseph Kony arrested.
I think it is important. Please watch the video.
You can find more information at https://www.kony2012.com (it seems to be experiencing heavy traffic right now)

Some of my PBC artists are sad...
Items
Why are some of my PBC artists sad? Because they are (mostly) out of assignments :(
That is linked to the switches thread, by the way, in which you can switch your PBC breeding to an artist without a wait list for faster service.
To make my artists happier, I am going to be raffling off 10 PBCs tonight, all you have to do is comment on this news post, but... there's a catch... if you win a PBC through this news contest, you may only select artists from the switch list, because they are sad and need love :(
WINNERS
Mezma #6513
oce #508
Pinkerton #31808
JessicaMichalik #24767
Daph #318
emma t bunnie #26003
Xaiven #15348
Fiery #10722
Chezzeh #8466
Cyberstrike #9175
WINNERS, please submit your breeding and then send Lucy (#664) the information about your breeding and which three of the Switch artists you want to select. Please do not sell or transfer your PBC, that would be complicated to keep track of. Just use it.
