Major Updates

Hero2.png

 

NPC Lore: Hero

Hero is our beloved mascot. His overly helpful personality is known around all of Chrysalopolis and eventually led to being famous and even getting his own comic books. Even his cape has reached an iconc status, so iconic that people frequently mistake him for a cosplayer rather than the "real" Hero. Not much is known about Hero before he became famous, but...

Hero has finally returned from his adventure to let us know more about his lore! (Apologies for the teaser last month, I wanted to finish him sooner, but got sick.)

What is Hero scared of? What are his special interests? How is he connected to Mach and.. Ramu?!

To read more about Hero visit our NPC Lore and Info page! 

Mach.png

 

 
NPC Lore: Mach

Mach comes from a rather wealthy background, attending a prestigious academy, consistently earning top grades and quickly becoming known for both his sharp mind and disciplined work. But Mach had other interests which ultimately led to him losing contact with his family..

Mach, event organizer and coach, professional judge and referee. What are Mach's special interests? What are his ties to Hero and Galarda? 

To read more about Mach visit our NPC Lore and Info page!

 

Worldbuilding Lore

Besides focusing on NPC lore we also would like to add some worldbuilding lore whenever we are able to!
While we cannot guarantee monthly new topics, we are trying to add more lore and miscellaneous topics whenever there is time between other events.

Matching with Mach's lore we have added some general info about Paca sports and sporting events. You can read more about it on our >> new Worldbuilding Lore page! << (Similar to the NPC Lore page, they can be found under Info -> General Guides, where all our other guides are listed, too. Of course we are also working on various different guides in the background that will be added there over time, thank you for your patience!)

(I see you...... you know what I want..... tell me more about what smaller miscellaneous lore topics you would like to see us explain more about! :3c go go grab your reward and help us out with your ideas)

 

 

Minor Updates

Game Nights!

ChaoChild 's Discord game night will take place on July 11th for a standard game night. There will be no Frankenpaca this month to give users the chance to focus on ArtFight and the current CraftToEnter! 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!

If you haven't yet, and you would like to participate in game nights, you can pick up the ping role for game nights in our #reaction-roles channel in the server!

Discord Server


Prompt changes

This is just the beginning of a bigger change but the overlay of the Criteria Rewards list when submitting a prompt has been updated. We have additionally updated the bonus for Gift Art to 200 Leaflets  to increase motivation to create artworks for other community members! We are currently working on a much larger overhaul of the prompt system behind the scenes! This rework aims to make prompts a more enjoyable experience for everyone. While there is still some work that has to be done, we are excited about the improvements currently in development and look forward to sharing more details as progress continues.

 

Flash prompts

While there are no big events planned for this month, there are 2 Flash Prompts waiting for you! You can find the "Sweet Dreams" and "Summer Haiku" prompts in the Flash Prompt category to earn some little extra currency. Of course you can also use the break to work on your regular Monthly, Seasonal, Pet and ARPG prompts, too. 
Or take a little break in between all those events, you deserve it!

 

 

Current Events
ArtFight
~ July ~
While ArtFight is not a Paca event we definitely know how much everyone loves to participate in the yearly art-community event! As always, you are able to grab your team role in the #art-fight-links channel on our Discord, where you can also share your ArtFight profile and team card. You can also share your AF related artworks in the #art-fight-art channel. Please don't forget to compliment the art above before posting your own work as mentioned in our rules. Furthermore, you can also upload any Paca related AF attacks as prompts which rewards you with an additional 400 Leaflets  on top of your basic rewards (don't forget to add the ArtFight toggle)!

 

Design Schedule
  • Nothing to see here for this month :< 
  • Designs by Nokkelborth . As always, Nokkel’s patreon usually gets first looks at designs and are normally eligible to make claims in advance, so if that interests you, we recommend taking a look.
  • As always, we may sneak in some surprise designs, some of which may be discord only, so watch out 👁️
The Guest Artist Adopts are currently on a break, but we will be picking them back up in just a few months. We are still checking any applications coming in, so if you would like an opportunity to make designs for our community, please click the button above to apply!

Character of The Month


Bababoi

He's an outgoing Paca who gets exhausted quite easily while doing farm work. He is always willing to step on a new adventure and has a heart of gold.

Submit The Prompt!

Creature Feature


Fluffy

Though some would consider a Fluffy to be a "creepy crawly", since they share a leg count with most Pacapillars, generally they're actually fairly loved across Chrysalopolis. They love snacks intended for Pacapillars, however they will also feed themselves by flying up to a corner of your house with their tiny wings, and spinning a strong web up there to catch and feast on pests, keeping your home safe from unwanted invasions.

Submit The Prompt!

Critter Spotlight


Slime (Burger)

Is that a Shroom Slider? Maybe if you eat it you'll get Slug Body! Oh... Wait, that's... a Slime??? Often found hiding with real burgers at barbecues, and not having the best survival instincts, Burger Slimes are frequently mistaken for food and bitten by unsuspecting Pacapillars, usually giving Pacapillars quite the scare when their sandwich starts to squirm or squeak!

Submit The Prompt!

 

Patreon
Did you know that by pledging to Nokkelborth 's Patreon for as little as $5 a month, you can gain access to exclusive Pacapillar rewards? By pledging, you can look forward to rewards such as:
  • Surprise capsules containing new pets created that month

  • Access to exclusive commissions and customs done by Nokkelborth
  • Early access to viewing and claiming adopts before the public
  • The ability to exchange Gold Berries for Shhrooms to use in the Secret Shop
And rewards only get better at higher tiers!

Iiii personally would love to hear more about different jobs, habits and food of the Paca world. But I also like the idea of diving more into different lore for various areas and cities of Chrysalopolis...
