Welcome to February!
Though February may be the shortest month of the year, it's going to be jam packed with new goodies, familiar favorites, and lots of love. :3
Let's kick off the second month of 2014 with two brand new batches of pets!
Show some love for the beautiful GP Shop pets looking for forever homes!
And be sure to visit the affectionate companions that await in the BP Shop!
If you colored one of these lovely pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to send the PSDs for these pets in to [email protected] right away! Or I will break your crayons' collective heart.
Drink to a new month with our cherry-flavored Essence of February 2014!
This glass cordial (crafted in honor of cherry month) will turn your active pet into one of the February monthlies shown above.
The Premium Monthly Item is the Mysterious Platinum DNA, a PBC breeding add-on that mixes up genetics!
This Platinum Breeding Coin add on will let you include a third parent to influence your offspring. The third parent will not be on the profile of the offspring. Put the URL to the pet you own in the artist comments if you use this add on.
Our February birthday Lunaris isn't quite ready to bloom, but I will let you know as soon as it is!
(And we'll handle any necessary swaps/refunds for you asap.)
The new monthly contests have been announced!
However, there are a few changes I would like to highlight before you dive into your art program (they're good, I promise).
- We have brought back the USD payment option for the GP/BP Shop contests.
- The BP Shop contest payout for GP has been raised to 12 GP (up from 10).
- A link to the PSD file of your entry is now required for GP/BP Shop contests.
- All contest entries (GP/BP Shop and monthly custom game) now have a submission form and have had their templates spruced up!
(These changes are not retroactive and apply only to contests moving forward.)
We are hoping that these changes positively impact the amount, variety and quality of entries we receive. :3 Additional tweaks may be made in the future, but we'd like to see how this goes!
And without further ado, here are the contests:
March Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
March Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
March Monthly Customs
Theme: Pi Day
Good luck with your entries!
The Nova custom makers will remain in the GP/BP Shops this month and will rotate to the Premium Outlet in March, then will return to the GP/BP Shops for April and May.
We are also refreshing the Token genera list with...
... the Serafex! (Our mutant friend from this poll).
You can now upload your very own silly Serafex with Metal, Bronze, Blue or Gold Tokens.
Click the image above to download the PSD!
The Serafex does not have any unique rules, and you'll be seeing a coloration submission thread pop up for it soon!
Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
- the Adventure Revamp Team is hard at work! If you haven't visited the thread yet, you can peruse the pages to see what sorts of things this team is wrestling with.
- staff is focused on enhancing the Knowledge Base and removing outdated information/defunct pages from the site.
- we know that everyone is missing our handy search, which unfortunately has had some programming hiccups, so this task has been assigned to a new programmer who will be able to tackle it this month. You can check on this thread to see Slash's updates for more info.
There's plenty of other things we'll be tinkering this month, along with new surprises and events to look forward to, especially since love is in the air!
Love Letters: Coming soon to a lair near you!
(If you have any Love Letters hanging around from last year, DO NOT attempt to use them yet. There will be an announcement when it's safe to bombard one another with our favorite red and pink envelopes! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about because this is your first Valentine's Day with us, stay tuned! :D)
With lots of platonic love,
- Eri

I was mad at myself about how long I was taking to use my PBC, but now I'm so glad I haven't yet! XD

Love the new upgrades to the making of BP/GP shop pets! I want to try but so far for this year no ideas have struck me :c. Cause that GP incentive and such is lovely.

The creatures for this month are gorgeous. ^_^ I hope the Lunaris comes out by the third. That's my birthday and I really want my Lunaris born on the same day.
