Site Update
PART TWO!
Breeding Season is upon us, which means that two new hybrid species have been released!
Inciri (Suune x Sors) and Regius (Soli x Shen)
This also means that Breeding Coins have cycled back into the GP Shop (until 4/10). Hurrah! But that's not all the hybrids available...
What's this? A new rare hybrid has been spotted! It's the Emaia, a hybrid between the Teo and the Spino. Rare hybrids, like Neuras, Emaia, and Violinns, can be bred using their own special item... as we'll get to below!
Two new items are stocking in the USD Shop: the Transitional Fossil Egg (the item used to breed the new rare hybrid) and the Grand Edit Potion (a Breeding Coin upgrade allowing for one offspring with 75% edits). They both have Knowledge Base entries.
The Transitional Fossil is $50.00 and the Grand Edit Potion is $25.00.
These items are a little different because, being USD funded items, they have a special way of handling predicts that we are slowly trying out. When using a TFE or a Grand Edit Potion, the player may choose any artist who wants to make a predict for them and have Aywas pay the artist for the predict (yes, you can do your own breeding, if you're an artist).
The Transitional Fossil Egg is a 50% edited baby whose predict pays $20.
The Grand Edit Potion produces one 75% edited baby whose predict pays $20. If you have a Transitional Fossil Egg with a Grand Edit Potion, the predict pays $25.
On the site breeding artist end, these items pay even more to a site artist, allowing them to enjoy the benefit of the items as well.
Of course, what kind of Breeding Season would this be if there wasn't a chance to spend some Bonus Credit? You've been saving that up since Christmas, right? Head on over to the Bonus Credit page to take advantage of breeding for an Emaia and your favorite hybrid right away -- along with some useful breeding add-on items.
Some brand new Jeweled Crystal pets have rolled in! Do any of these catch your fancy?
Or perhaps Jeweled Hybrids are more to your interest? Check out the batch here for April.
How many of you would like to see a Jeweled Legacy item? One that allows you to make a Jeweled custom from a previous month? Tell us in the comments below.
OEKAKI CHALLENGE!
Every so often, we'll post a challenge to our Oekaki Boards, encouraging players to submit to the new Challenges Board with their entries.
The current challenge is to design a hybrid between any two species of your choice. The challenge ends on 4/7/2015, and the prize--to the artist with the highest rating--is a Breeding Coin. Because it's breeding season, of course.
THE BIGGER BP CHALLENGE
Last month's BP Challenge was fun, and drained a lot of BP from the economy, but it ended too quickly! Thus, we have a much more lofty goal in mind for this challenge...
10,000,000,000!!!
TEN BILLION BP!
This should keep the event running at least for two weeks, we're hoping. Hoping...
There are twenty five tiers, twenty five exciting bases to unlock. The BP Sink is now under the Play tab, so you can access it easily whenever a BP Sink is going on.
We said that we were going to retire the Mineral Crystal from the BP Shop at the end of March, but we forgot to post a warning. So here's a warning! We'll be removing the Mineral Crystal from the BP Shop on 4/5/2015, so be sure to grab any last ones you want to snag.
Have you been paying attention to what our April coder has been accomplishing since the last news post update? In case you missed it, here's a list:
- Enabled Future Custom for Scavenger Hunt Winning Team
- Reason for Sending Items to other players
- Fixed Preview Custom Item bug for female HAs
- Fixed (another) View All Comments bug on Profiles
- Notes for Trading Post Offers
- Added Trading Post Item Search
- Special Characters allowed in Pet Names (look)
- Fixed "My Pets" error for user with large lairs
- Fixed bug where regenerating items used from deposit box don't show up on the regen page
- Added "Delete" button for your expired Pet Auctions
It was totally worth hiring her, wasn't it?
Have a great April, and look forward to our upcoming Easter Event! We also have some Baby Pets releasing soon and some Critter Camp charity SCCs--a fennec fox and a red fox. How cool is that?

OH! I have an idea for the legacy item!!! Make it a pack of 3 for 6-9$ and a player uses 1 per jewel submission to use the older lines. :3

Didn't even know Oekaki was on Aywas! I'd love to do this challenge, but java's is messing aroud on my mac, and haven't drawn on Oekaki on CS for a good year or so, let alone Aywas. Hope I can get it working soon. I miss it.
Any advise would be great, Java/Mac users

Do you have to have a crystal to get the PSD's for the tiered pets in the Bigger BP Challenge?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but I think the BP sink would run smoother if we had access to the bases that are out! People would be able to see the lovely colorings everyone can do and be more willing to buy more crystals.

Yes! A jeweled custom legacy item is definitely needed.
