WELCOME TO AERIUS!

After 6 or so months now of hard work we’re finally ready to introduce you all to the big updates we’ve been teasing about in announcements!!! 

……

We have our own website!

Today marks 10 Years of Dextroluma and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate with my wonderful mods and community!

Again a big big biiiiiig thank you to the following people!

PuffinDoodle, GutsandGays, chamalaeon, Lollilumi, SoiLotus, Smol-Squeep, intrepidloves and our site coder and wonderful bug fixer Cylunny!
I also want to shout out to the lorekeeper server for all of their help, advice and guidance on this journey!
I couldn’t have done this alone without all of these beautiful people, so please please give a big THANK YOUU!!

It feels weird to say… Hey, I have a website now! Here it is! But it’s real and it’s a lot and I’m just so proud I… with like 0 coding knowledge was able to put this together, I dived in head first and hoped for the best and well… You see the result!! I’m just so happy!

So, What exactly does this mean?

Good question!! Moving to a website can be quite the leap and it is, we’ve gone through some big changes and I hope you can enjoy things now that they’re streamlined, up to date and a bit easier to find!

Upon viewing the website, I recommend you view this newbie guide firstly before doing anything else! 
This will get you situated, explain some of our basic features and so on!

Additionally I recommend the FAQ for any detailed questions you might have!

Please note we are not fully ready and we still have a few things left to complete! This includes but is not limited to:

○ Masterlists and character transfers

○ Information & Guides

○ Shop character art

○ Assets including traits

○ Bugs with purchasing pets / variants (This is a known bug and we are working on it!)

Things to take a look at on the site!

○ We’re missing assets for our design guide, but you can find that here! This should hopefully help those who struggle designing Dextroluma!

○ Our selection of prompts will grow, but for right now we have a steady amount to get you started! You can check out the prompts here or if you’d just like to see all of them in general you may click this link!

○ World Index Our world index can be found here, with this you can browse pretty much anything! Items, traits and pets!

○ Traits have also been altered to be more streamlined, these should be easily viewed here, If you’d prefer to view by rarity you can do so here.
You can also view by category in the dropdown menus at the top of the page!

○ Interested in the world of Aerius? You can browse our World page here, Here you can find locations, flora and fauna and some interesting history!
Additionally with locations comes a pretty fun site feature! Go to your Characters masterlist page, select edit profile and then you can choose where your Dextroluma lives by clicking the location drop down!

○ While we’re on the topic of locations, you may notice region names have been altered! We felt they were a little bland and basic and have given them an overhaul! For ease we have put their past names beside them, so you won’t get lost!

What about the special guest artists?

Upon launch we’ll be introducing our 4 Special Guest Artists and the designs each of them have made for the 10 year anniversary.
These designs will be available to everyone from the 18th and onwards! These will be posted on site!

FREE GIFTS??

Iola awaits you in the forest castle and it looks like she might have something for you! (psst, also claim the free raffle ticket while you're at it too! Don't forget to open it in your inventory!)

cHANGES REGARDING CURRENCY

As we've moved to a website, currency has gone through a lot of changes. The currency you currently have will not transfer to the site, but we will have a special sale in the discord to use up your old Crystals and plenty of ways to earn new ones on site. Regarding owned items, characters and MYO slots, please await the ping in the discord server where Puffin will help you out!

When is this discord sale?

The crystal sale will happen soon, we’re wanting to add even more goodies to it so everyone has a chance to use up their crystals! With the site launch things have become a bit overwhelming and so there will be a slight delay on that! But don’t worry! We’ll keep you posted! 

And with that…. 

10 YEARS BABY!!!! LET’S CELEBRATE, GRAB SOME CAKE, DRINK AND LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

Welcome to Beta!

If you’re here you’ve earned the exclusive right to take part in our beta testing!! We’re finally excited to spill all the details and we appreciate you joining us on this new journey!

Since the beginning it was my goal to create a website for Dextrolumas, but 10 long years ago, I didn’t have the skills or ideas to make that come true. With the help of my amazing and beautiful mod team; PuffinDoodle, GutsAndGays, Chamalaeon, Lollilumi, SoiLotus, Smol-Squeep, IntrepidLoves and our coder Cylunny, we’ve been able to kickstart those dreams and finally bring to you, Dextroluma.com. Be sure to give a big big thank you to everyone!

We’ve decided to bring in beta testers earlier for a few reasons!
○ Bug testers!! We can only do so much from the admin side, so we’re hoping you can direct us to any bugs you may come across! Please use the report bug feature on the website or ping us in the booster chat!

○ Overall site functions! Aside from bugs we want to make sure everything else works as intended!

○ We’d love feedback in general! There will be a google survey we’ll send out in which you can give us your thoughts and what we could improve on! Please note some things are out of our hands due to the base lorekeeper code! 

So let’s get onto some basics!

○ Our newbie guide is for the most part done, there are some tweaks to be done. Though it should do its job on guiding you through the new website! If you have any issues or questions please do reach out in the booster chat!

○ We’re missing assets for our design guide, but you can find that here! This should hopefully help those who struggle designing Dextroluma!

○ Our selection of prompts will grow, but for right now we have a steady amount to get you started! You can check out the prompts here or if you’d just like to see all of them in general you may click this link! 

○ Our world index can be found here, with this you can browse pretty much anything! Items, traits and pets!

○ Traits have also been altered to be more streamlined, these should be easily viewed here, If you’d prefer to view by rarity you can do so here. You can also view by category in the dropdown menus, top right!

○ While we’re still in the middle of prettifying this page for ease, you can browse Locations here, with locations comes a pretty fun site feature! Go to your Characters masterlist page, select edit profile and then you can choose where your Dextroluma lives by clicking the location drop down!

○ While we’re on the topic of locations, you may notice region names have been altered! We felt they were a little bland and basic and have given them an overhaul! For ease we have put their past names beside them, so you won’t get lost!

○ Betas will have access to a beta only raffle! Which you can check out here !
Spice Cake will be raffled off to Betas, while Mermaid Cake will be raffled to everyone upon launch!


Please note we are not fully ready and we still have a few things left to complete! This includes:
○ Masterlists and character transfers
○ Information & Guides
○ Shop character busts
○ Assets including traits

changes regarding currency

As we've moved to a website, currency has gone through a lot of changes. The currency you currently have will not transfer to the site, but we will have a special sale in the discord to use up your old Crystals and plenty of ways to earn new ones on site. Regarding owned items and myo slots, please wait for the thread posted by Puffin in the booster chat so we can ensure each item is given out to you!

CHARACTER AUTHORIZATION

Our wonderful coder Cylunny has had this in the works for us for a little while and now we're happy to introduce it! Please give them a big thank you!!!

This was a much requested idea from our beta testers feedback forms and we couldn't agree more with it.
It's important that everyone is comfortable on site and we hope this helps greatly ♥

How does it work?

It's fairly simple actually! I will note there is no mass character selector and thus, each character will need to be changed manually.

1.) Select the character you'd like to hide / have autho only on and scroll down until you see 'Edit Profile'



2.) After selecting 'Edit Profile' scroll down once again until you see the following; Authorized User(s) & The hide Button.
Hovering over the ? will give you more information on what these do! 



Authorized User(s) allows you to choose up to 25 Users to authorize (You do not need to autho mods) So if you'd like certain friends to see this is your option!

Hide will hide the character from regular users, mods are still able to see these characters. If you'd rather not add users to authorize then this is your option!

3.) From here, type in the users names you want to be authorized to see your characters or select the hide button! It all depends on you!

4.) Select the 'Edit Profile' button when you're done to save this information and your character is now hidden!

IMPORTANT NOTES

Featured characters are not randomly chosen and are in fact manually chosen by mods. We take into account how much the character has been drawn, showcased etc when we want to feature them.
However, due to our new extension we will also have to take into account characters that are now hidden! 

If your character IS hidden, they cannot be featured on our featured sidebars as your character will not be visible for all to see.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

- If your character is hidden, mods are able to see them as normal.
- If your character is hidden, people not authorized will see a custom thumbnail image and the masterlist number on the masterlist, they cannot see the characters name or design or owner.
- If a non authorized user were to select the character, it will bring them to a 404 page!
- If your hidden character is featured on your profile page, a non authorized user will see this as"No selected character featured" No thumbnail, nothing.
- If a non authorized user were to go to view all of your characters, they will not see anything. No thumbnails, nothing.
- If you submit a prompt with a hidden character it will submit just fine.
- Unauthorized users cannot submit prompts or art of hidden characters, there will be a "character not found" error.
- If a user has NOT authorized you, please respect their wishes in doing so, some people prefer to stay private and that's OK.


That's all for now mushies!! Enjoy ♥
