And now, a very special message from Yasu!
Kaiyo finally let me out of the basement, so I can share some things we've been working on in the background.
HTML5 Games
Expect to see our three flash games converted over to HTML5. What does this mean? This means no more annoying Flash deprecetation messages. Our new HTML5 games have been recoded from the grounds up each with a new coat of paint and some additional features for each. Our HTML5 games will also be playable on mobile devices! You can expect these games to be released sometime this month!
If everything goes well with all the stuff we plan on releasing this month, we'll also be releasing an additional HTML5 before the end of this month that I'm sure you'll be hooked on! Here's a little hint:
Games Backend
In addition to our game rework, we also reworked out backend for how game scores are processed and how you earn BP from the games. We are doing away with some things that we're sure will make everyone happy while adding a few additional features to it. We will release more information about this rework later next week and plan on releasing a beta for everyone to try out and leave feedback.
Fauna Frenzy
A massive project we've been working on for quite some time. This was meant to be released for quite some time, but we kept feeling it wasn't quite up to par with what we wanted the end result to be. After many months of reworking it, we are quite happy with the final results and should be releasing this sometime later this month.
New Layout
We have been hard at work refactoring both the back and front ends of the site for quite some time now. We're hoping to have this completed before the end of this year. We are close to completing a new layout for the site which will be more functional than our current, reduce overhead on the server, and *hopefully* play well with mobile. While we're not quite ready to show it off this month, we're going to try and sneak in a preview of it sometime in September or October.
Uh oh.. Kaiyo is coming back! Back to the basement for me... At lease she brought coffee this time!

Is that an aywas version of sudoku? Ooh I hope so. I love sudoku. Got a grocery bag out of the premium item. Interesting.

That raffi is adorable!
And Zaria (#14800) I hope you're right! Looks like you might be! I love sudoku too!
And if Minerva's Garden is replacing Grave Robber that's like... EXACTLY what I thought a replacement could be! (Had that idea ages ago, fun to see I'm not the only one thinking her garden could make a good game!)
Lacia (#25044) My vircyon up there is from the pet submissions thread and I'm pretty sure I was already paid, but do I get a pet copy for it being in the shops? *hopeful*

Ahh how great! I've been thinking about how some of the game elements are really frustrating - like how I can't play them in the Brave browser because of flash issues lol. As a game developer myself I am SUPER excited to see all the changes!!

Yep, even if the pet was from the coloration forum, you'd still contact me for a copy since that's one of the perks of having your pet in the shop. (:
