April Newsletter

Posted 8 months ago :: Last edited 8 months ago by TornPages

Hello everyone, and welcome to our monthly newsletter! Happy April Fools! We hope you had a fun Easter Weekend if you celebrate! We have some fun things both here and on the horizon that we can’t wait to share with you all!

Major Updates
Design Mod Applications

We are seeking to bring on new staff members! We are currently looking for Design moderators to join our team. Experience is not required as long as we feel you can do the work. Any applicants must be of 18 years or older. Read more about the requirements and apply with the form linked below!

Application Form


Site Development Pause

There has been some issues showing up behind the scenes for our coder, Sweetstuff, and further development for the site is on pause while they try to figure out solutions to the issues at hand. We request that you are patient in this time and enjoy the features we do currently have in the meantime where Sweetstuff is only one person  and can only humanly do so much! Error reports will still be tended to, we're just pausing on new features for a little bit is all.

Donation Shop 

Got any items you no longer want but don't want to sell or trade? You can now donate these very items to the community to claim and use to their hearts content! To donate, simply go to the item you no longer want in question, tick the box on it, open the "Donate Item" dropdown, and then finally click Donate! That's all! Each user can also claim up to one free item from the donation shop once every 24 hours. 
Pets that are not in your inventory cannot be donated just yet, however we are hoping to make this possible when we can resume site development!

Trait Info Update

We are very aware that our traits are really out-of-date and may be confuising for some users with this information being incorrect, so our lovely design moderator, Echoklang , will be going through and updating information on all the traits to get things organized once more. Please be patient as she works through these things over the next few days, but soon our traits will all have proper descriptions to correctly align with the current system.

Minor Updates

Game Nights!

ChaoChild 's DIscord game night will take place on April 20th at 3pm CST time! There will be reminders posted in the server when they're getting things ready and when the game is live! Be sure to keep an eye out to have some fun with what they have planned!

Discord Server


Prompt Reminders

A reminder to everyone that Discord and DeviantArt links do not work for prompt submissions any longer due to both sites changing the way their images are linked on external websites. You can still use Toyhouse and Stash to a degree, but we would highly prefer if users continued to use our on-site galleries for ease of access to staff members. 

Please also remember to add criteria to your submissions. There is a banner on the submissions page that mentions this, and every prompt has it as a requirement, We can only edit criteria forms from mod-side, and cannot add them from scratch. Please be weary of this to avoid your prompt being rejected!
Further, many users have been submitting art pieces alongside stories, which is perfectly fine, just please remember that any literary works must have a minimum of 1 character featured + 300 words at base, OR a colored halfbody Pacapillar/Snekket for art pieces. These are our base requirements for our Miscellaneous submissions, so anything less than these base requirements will not count towards extra rewards!


New Gallery Submission Layout

When submitting to the gallery, we noticed a lot of users were getting confused over the description and literature boxes where they were never really clear in the default layout, so  we've cleaned up the submission page to now show the title, description, content warning, and other user inclusion  at the top, and the image, literature, and character sections are now at the bottom before the submit button. With the encouragement of submitting to the galleries nowadays, we hope this new layout makes the process much simpler!


Item Sub-Categories

With the growing selection of collectables, we wanted a way to keep things more organized until we can split collectables off into their own thing, so in the meantime we've added item sub-catergories. This, unfortunately, does not affect how items are displayed on your profile, however in the Encyclopedia you can see what items belong to what categories, HERE!

Current Event
🥚 Eggs Giving (Parts 3 + 4) 🌸
March 1st, 2024 - April 30th, 2024
219-image.pngAfter the confusing events of March only for Sachet to not really be much of a help, Monet is finally home from vacation. so you go and have a chat with him to get any information you can about Snekkets, however your glistening egg has hatched already! Hopefully Monet is able to help you before too much chaos ensues  with your new Snekket hatchling!
------------------------------------------
This event will feature 5 prompts in total; 4 of which you will need to complete to unlock the next part of the story, and one that you can do in both March and April! March will release parts 1 and 2, and April will release parts 3 and 4. Parts 1 and 2 will NOT expire on March 31st, instead running in to April so anyone who missed the March half can still participate in unlocking parts of the story. Completion of part 1 will unlock part 2, and the same will be said for parts 3 and 4, requiring completion of the other parts prior to  unlocking the next part. All of these prompts will require a complex background OR 1000 words, so please make sure to not push your parts completion until last minute so you have time to do all 4!
These story-based prompts will put usage to our interactive dialogues feature!
The smaller prompt that you can do in both March and April requires just 2 fullbodies (one snekket, and one paca), and is much more lenient than the story prompts!
Anyone who completes part 1 will be given a surprise basket that has an account-bound snekket MYO inside! If you've ever wanted a Snekket, but couldn't use the Cash Shop for any reason, now's your chance to get yourself your very own noodle!

🎈 Playful Pranks 🎉
April 1st, 2024 - April 7th, 2024
It's April Fools! That means it's time to play a prank on your friends and loved ones! With this flash prompt, you have one week to create a piece of your Pacapillar or Snekket pulling a prank on someone else! Everyone who completes this prompt will be entered into a free raffle for a very detailed poison Pacapillar design by TornPages , and though the raffle is random, every user who participates in the prompt will get a randomized Silly Little Friend that has a playful theme to them!
