Welcome to V3

V3 UPDATE


Hello once again friends!! It’s been a long day of staring at code and errors galore ✨BUT we’re finally ready to bring the site back. And I am so ready for bed. 😴

Big thank you again to Stokori for fixing tons of bugs and merging the update to our already heavily custom code!! It was honestly a big challenge but they kicked ASS.

Now of course we are expecting… Lots of new errors even still and as usual we’d like you to report them in #Bug-reports using the form provided! Please make sure the bug hasn’t been listed in #known-bugs before reporting! You can also use our site function to report bugs as well. 

Coupons have been fixed, so you can use those again with no worries!

You’re going to see a LOT of new things on site that you don’t understand and have questions about! But a lot of these things aren’t set up yet (stats, skills etc!) But we hope you’re excited to see what we do with them!

You’re going to also see some new quality-of-life updates that will make certain things easier.  Some previous extensions have changed quite a bit!  One of these is pets.  We have been through the wringer with pets,. so let’s talk about what exactly changed with them.

Pet cookies now function differently. Previously we had custom code for pet cookies and variants, but since moving to the actual updated extension those things have altered slightly. Pet variants are still a thing but cookies are a little clunkier. You’ll also note on our cookies item pages there’s a great big mass of links, which we of course plan to smooth out. To change your pet to a different variant first you must choose the correct cookie and then the correct variant. (For example Trickster Cookie with the variant Trickster) If you mix up the cookie and variant (ex: Trickster Cookie and Blushing) the site will error.

Annnd finally we have the option… to pet the pets!!! Interact with your pets each day and give them a lil pat pat to show how much of a good lil baby they are! They might just give you something in return!

A few other things that have been added that are worth noting

  • Two-Factor Authentication has been added to your profile settings, so you can feel much more secure!
  • You can now ‘Like’ each others comments
  • You can now ‘Deactivate’ your account if you wish! 

 

A few things to note that we intend to fix / change

  • Some images may be broken in some places! We are currently working through these! 
  • The crafting page has a weird inventory box showing up and we’re not sure why. Though you can still craft as normal, just click ‘inventory’ twice to hide it. Your items are already selected. For ease I’ve attached a screen recording here.

 

Annnd for now that’s it, I need my bed and my bed needs me… Please feel free to ask any questions and we’ll answer them when we get to them!! 

Tomorrow I’ll be handing out compensation for this maintenance, I’d do it tonight but I am beat! ♥

Goodnight everyone, thank you for being patient!! 

Upgrading to Lorekeeper V3

Posted 1 week ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Hello friends!! Today is an exciting (and potentially stressful backend) day! We’ll be upgrading our Lorekeeper to V3. Now many of you are probably like… What does this mean? Well, I’ll try to explain below! I’m still rather new to updating (and also scared)

Lorekeeper V3 allows us to add even more exciting extensions, upgrade already existing extensions (Such as pets!) and some QOL updates on the base site itself! I’m both nervous and excited!!

The site will go down for maintenance in an hour or so, this is to ensure users can finish up their dailies and tasks! Anything in the current queue will be approved before we do any maint!

We’ve had a wonderful coder work on this for us to minimize stress on our end, Thank you Stokori!! Now that it’s complete, it’s my time to step up and merge this update in! Wish me luck!!

Flu Season/Winter Spirit

Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Welcome to NOVEMBER!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Deja's Disappearance & Attack on Verdant Kingdom during September and November!  We had a lot of fun and hope you did too!  With this new update comes a number of new things that you can enjoy doing on site, from the new prompts, new dialogues, and more…

An End To The War

Be sure to read the... 'unique'(?) conclusion here.

Congratulations to the real winners, the Trash Kingdom!  And also to the Verdant Kingdom's loyal defenders, we guess.  Make sure to grab your rewards... and also to go get your awards here.  Yes, awards plural.

Monthly Features

Congratulations to our features this month!

We selected RandomStorytale as our artist of the month!  We love seeing her art whenever she submits it, and thought her gifting chain piece in October was so cute!

Our character of the month belongs to Diluculi, who blew us away with how many prompts she submitted during the Attack on Verdant Kingdom portion of the event.  We selected Ulrike, who was the focus of several of her prompts!

If you commission a featured artist or draw a featured character during the month they are featured, you can submit them to the features prompt for a nice five crystal reward in addition to the normal rewards you can earn for art. 

New Event Currency

Introducing... Hearts! With this event comes a cute little heart! What are they for? Well keep reading!

Frosted Pet Variants

You’ve seen them but not yet had much chance to get them - but now that’s changing!

 
These icy little friends are perfect for the coolest pet owner! Show your love for these pets by purchasing them with Hearts or feeding your regular pet the Frosted Cookie!

New Pet

Alongside this mystery, we’re introducing a new pet - say hello to the Cowcap!

This little guy is special in a way you'll find out in the future, so you can only get one of them from the event shop.

Cowcap

In addition, there’s now lore up on all the site’s pets in the Fauna Section of the World!

New Shops!

Check out our event shop, Flu Season/Winter Spirit Where you can spend your event currency! Our event shop features frosted pet variants, cookies, borders, a background, and the new pet, so there’s plenty available to purchase! You can earn Hearts by completing event prompts and doing your event daily, as well as by purchasing supporter boxes in the Supporter Shop.

A few new characters have also been introduced in certain shops, so keep your eye out and give them a big welcome!

Reminder about how the Supporter Shop works.  Each month you may purchase any of the supporter boxes and recieve fun rewards for supporting our website! These vary in price from $5 to $50. All funds go towards custom code, assets, pets, server costs, storage, domain registration and possible future extensions. These costs add up, so any little bit helps, please do not feel pressured to support.  Your offline needs should come first.

New Items In Shops

There's new items for this event - backgrounds, borders, and more.  Additionally, items from the last event have made their way into the appropriate shops.  Even the Scavengers have a place in Rodeo Ruff Pets.

xUyfcFyAVf174-image.pngScavenger

New dishes & Ingredients

New dishes have made their way into this month along with some delicious new ingredients! Which is your favorite?

Craftable Items

With the right ingredients, you can now make your own crystal pouches and even books!

New Prompts

This event comes with new themed prompts to enjoy!  Additionally, there are some new key character prompts for our event's focuses - Thimble and Peppy!

We know you missed our usual dextober/locktober - but we promise we didn't forget about it.  This year, instead, we're doing Promptcember!  While you can't get the seasonal traits that normally accompany our prompt events by doing all 31 days of it, you get 3 Hearts for each one, and the seasonal traits in the shop are 20 Hearts so we hope that works just as well.

New Awards

The awards for Deja's Disappearance-Attack on Verdant Kingdom are finally up!  To obtain Loyal Soldier, check the limited time daily which will grant you the award along with some final clues.  To obtain the True Swords, just visit the award's page.  To obtain the Mysteriously Sticky Note, just complete the Flu Season prompts (Icky Sickies and Make the Ouchies Go Away), and then, with the items you obtain from them, claim it from the award's page.

New Locations

Check out new locations in Galactica, The Frozen Plains, The Arcane Artifice, and Verdant Kingdom.  Aerius' solar system is now defined, as you'll notice in Galactica - as a fun tidbit for you all, the popular acronym for remembering the order of the planets in the Selenophos system is:

Our Abyssal Draphibian Only Eats Crystals

Nitro Booster Rewards!

We try to give our nitro boosters some little rewards each event period.  For Flu Season & Winter Spirit, each booster will recieve a frosted cookie! We appreciate you all for the boosts and hope you enjoy your goodies this month!  Earlier in the month, they had the opportunity to preclaim on a Halloween set by Lunathyst, as well as to vote on what nation for @chamaleon to add new locations.

Frosted Cookie

Site Updates

Kipitins, a species owned by SoiLotus, have been added to site, and can now be uploaded by following the Transfer to Site guide.  You can check out their traits on site now, and the ear and horn types now have names!

For more information on transferring your already existing characters and items to the website, please view the ‘
Transfer to Site’ guide and follow its instructions.

We’re still working on getting items for Lockettes, Dexettes, Kipitins, and Nunuluma made for the site, but you’ll get another announcement when each ones’ items are ready.  It’ll take some time, as we fit it in around preparation for our already planned events.  We have plans made for Aerius-centric events out till January-February, and have scheduled our first Maquette-centric event to occur during March-April, and our first Ignis-centric event for next September-October.

Available Adopts

There will be new batches coming this month, but if you’re in the market for a new design and don’t want to wait, there are a few batches still open!  At some point, we’ll also be trying to get our unsold Lockettes from pre-site batches onto the website.

Attack on Verdant Kingdom

Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Welcome to October...

A note with messy handwriting has been left addressed to you. That's not concerning at all...

Well, well, well... you all though it was me! The great and mighty Trash King! The Trash King must say... that Trash King is very disappointed you would think this is a stunt the Trash King would pull! Silly Silly Observer!
0/10 not enough trash left in the Verdant Kingdom. The Trash King would not break into the Verdant Kingdom and leave it so ugly!

It was obviously Morgy and Masamasa... Trash King knows that tasty fabric anywhere...mmm.. yummy capes...
Hehe.. they scurried in the tunnels under the castle like rats to steal the statue without anyone noticing! They were always going on and on about how they would make Lala pay and blah blah blah... they're dramatic bitches.

The hmmm... tasty fabric belonged to Morgy! Trash King would remember that succulent fabric anywhere...
Scrap of Dark Fabric

Oh right the broken bottle? That was from the funky Shopkeeper... Trash King likes their funny words! A Dex after Trash King's own heart! Shopkeeper has always had a funny way of helping... after all what fun is it if they give you the answer when they can watch you struggle?
Broken Bottle

The blueprints? Are you dumb? Does Trash King need to explain this clue? It's obvious that they showed the tunnels Morgy and Masamasa used.
Blueprints

Hmm the footprints... Trash King thinks that the goop would be tasty on bread or eaten directly from the floor. Morgy and Masamasa weren't to careful... but Trash King thinks they secretly wanted to be found out so they could make a grand reveal. Dramatic Bitches.
Oozing Footprints

Trash King SWEARS that Trash King did NOT bite the shiny locket... it was already like that! Morgy must have dropped it for Double D to find... Morgy is a boy mom...ew... Masamasa is a girl dad... Trash King doesn't know what's worse.
Shattered Locket

What now Silly Observer? Oh what about the beautiful statue and the book...? That was Trash King's doing obviously! Trash King needed paper for Trash King's castle... Why did Trash King copy the Verdant Kingdom? Well... because it was fun! And Verdant Kingdom was obviously inferior. Trash King made a new and improved castle for when Trash King Rules! Verdant Kingdom is so UGLY!! Not enough trash!! Trash King's subjects deserve better!
A chewed up book

The fact that Trash King's preparations lined up with Morgy and Masamasa's thievery was just a happy accident... It made the hunt more fun didn't it? Trash King can't wait to see Morgy and Masamasa again... and eat more of their tasty clothes! Trash King eagerly awaits the fun and chaos that will unfold!

~Loving Regards from Trash King
Trash

You seem to notice there's something different about the banner... 🤔
There's new clues to find so put your thinking caps on while we continue on with the investigation!

 

Sad box

As you may have noticed, the "sad box" has been removed! You can still open this box if you still own it, it will however only grant crystal currency as the event currency was from our last event!

As a reminder! These Adopts are still available

Deja's Disappearance

Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Welcome to SEPTEMBER...

Thank you to everyone who participated in The Eclipse Gala during July and August!  We had a lot of fun and hope you did too!  With this new update comes a number of new things that you can enjoy doing on site, from the new clue gathering scavenger hunts, new dialogues, and more…

An Autumn Mystery

The statue in the Memorial Room at Verdant Castle has vanished - who could have taken it?  Why?  To find out, you’ll need to do some sleuthing around the site to find hidden clues that can help lead you to unraveling the mystery…  We recommend reading closely.

To avoid spoiling story updates for anyone who wants to avoid that, we have a new discord channel just for this event - !  You still CANNOT share scavenger hunt locations in there, BUT you can discuss the story and any theories you might have!!

 

Monthly Features

Congratulations to our features this month!

We selected DahLynx as our artist of the month as they've been showing their characters lot of love recently!

Our character of the month belongs to Amandaconda1.  We selected Winston since it seems like he enjoys digging around in the trash... Just like us. 

If you commission a featured artist or draw a featured character during the month they are featured, you can submit them to the features prompt for a nice five crystal reward in addition to the normal rewards you can earn for art.

You can earn Clues by completing event prompts, and finding the clues on the site…

A few new characters have also been introduced (Though please forgive us as a few busts are still on the way!) in certain shops, so keep your eye out and give them a big welcome!

Ontop of these updates we're also going live with the Supporter Shop! Each month you may purchase any of the supporter boxes and recieve fun rewards for supporting our website! These vary in price from $5 to $50. All funds go towards custom code, assets, pets, server costs, storage, domain registration and possible future extensions. These costs add up so any little bit helps, please do not feel pressured to support.

Welcome to August!

In addition to the continuation of the Eclipse Gala and its prompts and shop…  We have some new things for August!

Monthly Features

We’ve been forgetting to directly announce this oops, but congratulations to our features this month!

We selected kinky--kitten as our artist of the month - they’ve been submitting a lot of cute art on site and we’ve loved seeing it in the gallery and as we approve prompts!

Our character of the month belongs to smol-squeep.  We selected Odessa after reading about smol’s ideas for her and her history in the discord, we think she’s got a tragic but exciting story and are happy to see smol play with her.

If you commission a featured artist or draw a featured character during the month they are featured, you can submit them to the features prompt for a nice five crystal reward in addition to the normal rewards you can earn for art.

Site Updates

We have a new site guide for how to submit myos, additional references, and redesigns through the site!  Feel free to peruse the guides section anytime you have a design related question - odds are it is answered there.  If it isn’t, feel free to ask in the discord of course, and we’ll do our best to answer and try to have it in the relevant guide in the future!

Lockette MYOs are now on site!  Their items are still coming, however, so hold your horses and read closely.

You can now submit the following items to receive them on site

  • Common Lockette MYO
  • Rare Lockette MYO
  • Lockette MYOs of Discontinued Rarities (ie; uncommon)

You may not yet submit other Lockette items including mutations and the ‘Rare + Mutation Lockette MYOs’ and ‘Mod Lockette MYOs’ that are held by non-mods.

We are still working on getting items for Lockettes, Dexettes, and Nunuluma made for the site, but you’ll get another announcement when any new items are ready and can be transferred to site.  It’ll take some time, as we fit it in around preparation for our already planned events.  We have plans made for Aerius-centric events out till January-February, and have scheduled our first Maquette-centric event to occur during March-April, so we hope you look forward to that (we certainly do)!

Shard Hunt

Keep an eye out and get the Scavenger Hunt ping role in the discord to get notified whenever the next Shard Hunt begins and ends, or if there are any hints for it!

As with the all our scavenger hunts, do not beg in the discord for hints or spoil it in there.  This is just a fun game - if you don't find it fun, then we suggest focusing your energy on the things you do find fun!

(The shard below is NOT a claimable one, this is just to show you what they look like!)

New Prompts

Check out the new monthly prompt about everyone's favorite, Trash!


New Award

For 500 trash, you can now get the Trash Connoisseur Award!  This is a new goal for all our trash lovers, after the Trash Collector (50) and Trash Hoarder (100) awards!  Keep your eyes peeled for whenever we reach the threshold to release our final planned award for this series…

Available Adopts

There will be new batches coming this month for both Lockettes and Dextroluma, but if you’re in the market for a new design and don’t want to wait, there are a few batches still open!  At some point, we’ll also be trying to get our unsold Lockettes from pre-site batches onto the website.



Observer’s Notebook

Nitro Booster Rewards!

We try to give our nitro boosters some little rewards each event period.  Later this month, they’ll get to vote on the name for an upcoming pet, and at the start of the next event period, they’ll receive an on-site gift of some sort.

For this event period, they received a Nevermore Bookstore background and voted on what to name the Suldra!

Look Forward To...

I wonder what we’ll have coming in September?

 

Terms of Service Update

Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Hello y'all.  We are announcing some further updates to our TOS.  (Linked at the bottom of every page as 'terms').

We reorganized and clarified some pieces of the TOS we believe may have been confusing to some users. (The site TOS also now has an outline, so it is easier to reference). We also added some information on Nunulumas to make sure they are included in important rules such as our prohibition on NFTs, although some aspects of how they will work, such as redesigning, still have to be solidified.

Additionally, we have added some rules relating to privately contacting mods about species questions. Species questions, without exception, belong in questions or - if about another user - over a private ticket. If you need to raise a concern about a moderator's behavior, you may ask in questions to DM Lunathyst. You must wait for her agreement before then messaging her, and if the message is not a concern about a moderator you will be issued with a strike and told to ask your question or raise your problem in one of the aforementioned ways. We have been generally rather generous with this, but after the recent spate of harassment we have been dealing with we are no longer going to entertain these. You will not receive a faster response to your question by DMing Luna, and there is a whole team of us who can answer your questions.

Contacting moderators on other platforms, such as vgen, about species issues is also not allowed.

Thank yall!

The Eclipse Gala

Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 1 week ago by chamalaeon

Welcome to the Eclipse Gala!

Thank you to everyone who participated in The Seashell Soirée during May and June!  We had a lot of fun and hope you did too!  With this new update come a number of new things that you can enjoy doing on site, from a new transformation new pets to a brand new permanent shop, and more!

Site Updates

Last month we announced our completed Lockette Trait Updates, and later on, we will make an announcement with our trait updates to Dexettes and Nunuluma.  For now, their traits are up (though not always with images just yet), and already approved ones can be uploaded onto site via the use of a Legacy MYO.

For more information on transferring your already existing characters and items to the website, please view the ‘Tranfer to Site’ guide and follow its instructions.

We’re still working on getting items for Lockettes, Dexettes, and Nunuluma made for the site, but you’ll get another announcement when each ones’ items are ready.  It’ll take some time, as we fit it in around preparation for our already planned events.  We have plans made for Aerius-centric events out till January-February, and have scheduled our first Maquette-centric event to occur during March-April, so we hope you look forward to that (we certainly do)!

There is also a new default theme, called Crystalline.  (The one you know is called 'Dextroluma').  You can find your theme in your settings.  We're looking to find nice ways to showcase these at some point as items, so we'll let you know when we figure that out.

Transformations

You got a hint of what was coming with our special modset - now let’s look at what you can do if you want your own Dextroluma able to become a mermaid as well.  There’s a new guide to the design requirements involved in making a mermaid, and a new prompt where your Dextroluma can learn how to use this magic with the assistance of Queen Anja’s advisor, Ophelia.

Additionally, transformations is a thing available to use for any character’s images now.  This allows you to have a separate nude image, ‘main’ image, alt outfits, and miscellaneous references.  For those with access to summons - which is all Lockettes, Dexettes with the new ‘collar & summon’ trait, and some Dextroluma and Dexettes with the special seasonal trait, there is also a summons transformation.  You may also see some designs around, such as Queen Ashe, who have a ‘mythic transformation’ transformation.  These are exclusive to Mythic characters who are not obtainable through normal means.

Monthly Scavenger Hunts

While the scavenger hunt for shells has ended (and the locations will be shared in the discord soon), when there are no major scavenger hunts, there will now be monthly, smaller scavenger hunts for a set of shiny shards.  The shards can be kept, put in character inventories, or sold - do what you want with them!  There is no award for these, these are just fun little hunts.  The hunts will be run by Puffindoodle, and will generally not come with any hints.

There will be a new Scavenger Hunt ping role available in the Discord, which you can choose to get.  This will let you get pings when a scavenger hunt begins or ends, and allow you to receive hints on the occasions where there is a hint.  As with the shell scavenger hunt, do not beg in the discord for hints or spoil it in there.  This is just a fun game - if you don't find it fun, then we suggest focusing your energy on the things you do find fun!

(The shard below is NOT a claimable one, this is just to show you what they look like!)

New Event Currency

Introducing... Champagne! With this event comes a lovely bubbly cocktail glass! What are they for? Well keep reading!

Fancy Pet Variants

Now we get to introduce our third variant, now purchasable with the event! You had a hint at them with the introduction of Puppers, and now they’re here in force! Say hello to the Fancy pets!

These sweet little friends are perfect for the fanciest pet owner! Show your love for these pets by purchasing them with Champagne or feeding your regular pet the Fancy Cookie!

New Pets

With the introduction of the Empyrian nations come three new friends!  We hope you’ll delight in getting to know the Ryuudle, Suldra, and Kitties!

In addition, there’s now lore up on all the site’s pets in the Fauna Section of the World!

New Shops!

Check out our event shop, the Eclipse Gala Where you can spend your event currency ! Our event shop features new pet variants, strong elixirs, cookies, borders, a background, and the new pets, so there’s plenty available to purchase! You can earn Champagne by completing event prompts.

It seems like during the Seashell Soirée, a new business set up shop.  As the Gala gets into full swing, it looks like the proprietors have finally appeared, though if you read their dialogue they seem to be cleaning up a mess…  How odd!  There seem to be lots of other things happening in some shops - make sure to check the dialogue or the Observer's Notebook to see what's going on this month.

New Items In Shops

Did you think the seashells were going away?  They’re definitely not!  Check out Decore Galore for the ability to buy all the seashells for crystals from Serena.  Additionally, they’re now transferable not only to other users but also to your characters.

Serena has more than just the shells, though - she also has some sweet backgrounds that your characters can use, if their references on site are transparent, of course.

Blossom has some surprises in store for you as well, so check out Strawberry Gardens to see what she has procured.

New Prompts

This event comes with new prompts to enjoy! Follow your character as they enjoy themselves at the Eclipse Gala and deal with the various preparations they might make for it, including pondering the superstitions some have around celestial events like this one.

Additionally, what’s this?  There’s new Key Character prompts for Abella, and the newly introduced rulers of the Crystal Isles, Ashe and Diana!

New Award

Of course with our New Event comes a new Award! To get the ‘Best Dressed’ award, just complete the ‘Dancing the Night Away’ prompt.



New Volumes

Check out the volumes of Observer's Notebook to refresh your memory on what different shopkeepers and events have said before - and keep an eye out for when dialogues change again!  Also keep an eye out for more books arriving to the Nevermore Bookstore - you never know when they might arrive.

New Locations

Check out the locations on site as it looks like there is a nice new crop of locations in the Crystal Isles that might be interesting for your characters!

Raffle Winners

The Free Pride Month Raffles have concluded!  Congratulations to kinky--kitten and IllusionNova!
