Isomara Island ARPG is currently in Early Access. While in Early Access, you may find some pages unavailable (404s) and missing or placeholder art and images needing to be added or replaced. Consider supporting the developer's and artists' continued efforts on this ARPG and, in return, receive in-game items, virtual currency, critters, and an Early Access Invitation Key to register and start playing today!







Welcome to Isomara Island

Isomara Island is an online Art Role Playing Game️ (ARPG). Create a character or adopt a premade one and complete prompts through drawings or written fiction to develop your characters, earn items and virtual currency, and shape the future of the island.

The primary species of the ARPG, Isomara, are fluffy semi-aquatic dragons but are not the only playable characters here. There are plenty of unique creatures and wildlife across the island and surrounding sea. Develop your character's personality and story by completing prompts, forming families, training their skills, and exploring the vast island and beyond.

With plenty of activities to do, prompts to complete, items to collect, and characters to meet and more added regularly, there is much to explore and fun to be had!
Check out the Beginner's Guide on how to adopt/create your first character and start earning in-game currency and items.

Website Updates

Updates

Companion Care Drops

  • The Companion Care Drops feature has been revived and fully implemented. Players who own companion species such as Gooms and Bleppers and are companioned to an Isomara can now start receiving care drop bundles every first of the month. This update came a bit late, but the first bundle for February is available to collect!
  • To claim a companion's care drops, go to the companions master list page, and a new tab will be available next to the profile. If they have a care drop bundle for you, there will be a button to claim. You can also go to the sidebar and select care drops.
    • Caredrops by SlayersStronghold
  • To companion a character to an Isomara, submit a claim that contains the companion(s) and the Isomara they will be companioned to. Due to the nature of companioning, this must be completed by staff and cannot be done manually by members. Please submit only one claim per Isomara.
    • CompClaimEx by SlayersStronghold
  • Due to the site's inner workings and limitations, we have had to change the perks of the companion-related achievements. You can find that information below in the Changes section of this journal.

New Prompts

New Items

New Awards

  • A new type of character achievement, called sigils, has been introduced. As the Isomara society grows and evolves, more written symbols will be founded and introduced to help communicate between characters and society. These sigils represent a word or concept and show that your Isomara has gained the knowledge to use and read the sigil. These sigil awards can be kept on player accounts and assigned to characters through the awards inventory page.
    • AwardTransfer by SlayersStronghold
  • The first sigil, flame, can be earned through the Fire Safety Training prompt
  • The second sigil, Blepper, can be earned through the Dumb Love prompt

Miscellaneous

  • Added resale values to many items. You should find that more of your items can now be sold for seashells.
    • To sell items, go to your inventory, select the item you want to sell, check the box to choose which and use the quantity drown to choose the amount, then select the Sell Item drop-down and press the Sell button.

Companion Care Drops

  • As we implement and bring over features from the DeviantArt version of the ARPG, some additional things must change to fit the new medium and format of the official website. Beginning in Update 5.5, players could include a piece of art or a short story to their care drop comment and would earn x1 Sand Dollar along with their rolled drops. Since drops are now automated monthly, there is no way to include artwork or stories to receive a bonus sand dollar reward. Instead, we have implemented a chance for a sand dollar to drop in every companion bundle.

Achievement Ways to Obtain

  • Ally of Goo achievement now has a small chance to be obtained by opening a Goom Care Bundle
  • Careful Coexistence achievement now has a slight chance to be obtained by opening a Memora Care Bundle
  • Dumb Love achievement now has a slight chance to be obtained by opening a Blepper Care Bundle
    • These three achievements can be kept on player accounts and assigned to characters through the awards inventory page.

Achievement Perks

  • Ally of Goo
    • Removed: Increased reward drop chance for Goom Care Drops
    • Added: Goom companions will always bring back a Care Bundle in explorations
  • Maze Runner
    • Removed: Doubles the drops of Goom Care Drops
    • Added: +5 to flight encounters
  • You Tried
    • Removed: Goom care drops x3 Grapes instead of nothing
    • Added: Goom companion has a chance to find pearls in explorations
  • Mint Mercenary
    • Removed: Memora care drops x1 Mint instead of nothing
  • Careful Coexistence
    • Removed: Increased reward drop chance for Memora Care Drops
    • Added: Memora companions will always bring back a Care Bundle in trainings
  • Dumb Love
    • Removed: Doubles the drops of Blepper Care Drops
    • Added: Blepper companions will always bring back a Care Bundle in explorations
  • Memic Menace
    • Removed: Memic care drops x2 Feathers instead of nothing
    • Added: Memic companions will always bring back a Care Bundle in explorations & trainings
  • Tactical Retreat
    • Removed: Gives double the drops from Companion Care Drops for Memic companions
    • Added: Increased chance to find Memic Eggs while exploring

Miscellaneous

  • Some noticeable empty pages now have better suitable placeholder images and text, including Goom Races and Extended Map
  • Renamed Fertilizer to Mulch
  • Changed cooldown of claiming free items from Darwin's Donations from 5 minutes to 10 minutes
  • Added Bluesky social icon to the home page (will be updated to match other icons come next FontAwesome update)
  • Updated text on the support page to no longer mention the June 2nd early access launch to clarify invite codes are sent and able to be used the same day as the donation is sent
  • Removed the old adopt sale banner from the home page
Fixes
  • Resolved issued where comments could not be made or edited (Note: comments still cannot be removed)
  • Critters attached to characters appropriately display what variant they are
  • Fixed crafting recipes not displaying the name of the intended crafted item
  • Deustrums are now correctly placed in the Isomara profile box instead of the companion's box
  • Equipment and accessory items now will list shops they can be purchased at
  • Fixed a bug where some items said they could be purchased at some shops when they could not
Known Bugs

These are issues that have been reported by players or noted by staff and have not been resolved yet but are on our radar.

  • Isomara of the Month will sometimes display a companion species
    • Low priority bug: staff will manually roll an Isomara if the site pulls a non-Isomara species for the IOM for the time being
  • Sigils are placed in the character achievement basket when earned. The plan is to separate sigils into their own tab on character master list pages.

DeviantArt Group Updates

Updates
Activity Game Closures

As mentioned in a previous update, some features of the DeviantArt version of the ARPG have now officially closed.

  • Sunday - December 3rd - Achievement Turn-In
    • We will no longer accept turn-in comments and add achievements to Isomara profiles on the IsomaraIndex account. We used to display five achievement images on each import page and then list the rest. We have experienced issues with the thumbnails disappearing and cannot always confirm which achievements an Isomara had if they earned it far in the past. Users can submit a claim on-site with a link to proof on DeviantArt if their character has earned an achievement they do not have on their master list page.
  • Companion Care Drops
    • Due to low popularity, Companion Care Drops ceased in 2022; we have now automated the process on the site and have no intentions of updating or bringing back the DeviantArt version, as it would require time spent on manual rolling, banking, and updating of the journal and comment threads.

Iso-Island Update 6.4.8

648da by IsomaraIndex

Past Update Journal: Iso-Island 6.4.7
View all past Update Logs

Updates will become more sparse as the holidays roll around. This update contains updates, changes, and fixes from the previous month that have already been applied to the site.

  • DeviantArt Group updates, changes, and fixes will take effect and go live soon after this post is live (All of these have already gone live on isomaraisland.com unless specified)
Upcoming Staff Vacations

All Isomara Island ARPG staff will be on vacation on the following dates. There will be no updates during this time, and all reports, submissions, and claims in the queue will be on hold during these times:

  • December 7th - December 14th
  • December 24th - December 26th
  • December 31st, 2023 - January 2nd, 2024

Website Updates

Updates

Loot Table Reward Fairness

  • Many games and activity rewards are rolled from loot tables, and we know unlucky streaks can be annoying, so we have enabled guaranteed loot drops for some loot tables to avoid cases of incredible unlucky reward streaks.
  • This feature works where rewards with low drop rates on loot tables will certainly drop after a set number of rolls to avoid unlucky streaks. For example, an item with an expected 10% (1 in 10) roll drop chance will guaranteed to drop on the 20th roll (this is an example and does not represent any specific loot table drop chance in the game).
  • At this time, the only loot table rolls that have this in place are the wishing well, legendary items via exploration, and some special trait-related loot tables such as the Radiant trait, where there is a slight chance to earn it by consuming ectoplasm and the Dyed Maw (Achromatic) trait that can be acquired by consuming ink.

Character Lineage & Relations

  • Character family trees have been expanded upon and can now list siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. You can find two new links on the sidebar labeled Lineage and Relations. The new lineage page displays all known ancestors and descendants of your character, while the new relatives page will display any siblings, niblings, auncles, and cousins.
  • Renamed the lineage tab to Relations on character profiles
  • Added images to the lineage tree on character profiles (previously only displayed names)
  • Added list of children to relations tab of character profiles (previously non-functional)
Changes

Art / Literature Gallery

  • Added a button to view all recent gallery submissions on the top-right-hand side of the gallery as well as in the sidebar
  • We have added a recent gallery section on each character and user profile near the bottom to promote and show off user submissions.
    • The gallery section on a user's profile will only display that user's recent submissions.
    • The gallery section on a character's profile will only display submissions that include the character.
    • These sections will not be visible until the user/character has at least one thing to show in the gallery.

Equipment / Accessory Items Classifications

  • All equipment and accessories were incorrectly categorized as everyday items. Due to this, users could not attach them to characters, and thus, their uses and abilities would not take effect. We have corrected this issue, and if you owned any equipment or accessories in your inventory, they have been removed and replaced with their properly categorized counterpart.
  • Charm items have been appropriately classified as Accessories. Charm items have been removed from all user inventories and replaced with Charm accessories. You can now correctly equip these charms to your characters.
Fixes
  • Equipment and Accessories were listed twice in some shops. Some equipment and accessories were labeled as an item in the game with equipment/accessories as a category name. All of these items have been adequately converted. If you owned any of these items, you should have received a notification of the items being removed from your inventory and a notification of staff granting you the new version. You can now also equip your characters with these equipment and accessories!
  • Removed duplicate items being listed in Pacings' Shop
  • The equipment box on user profiles now only shows equipment (used to include accessories)
  • The accessory box on user profiles now shows owned accessories
  • View Achievement Logs on Character Profiles no longer leads to a 404
  • Fixed missing badge images on user profiles. Also fixed the issue where badges would scale incorrectly
  • Minor formatting adjustments on profile pages
  • Removed duplicate backend settings
  • Updated some incorrect text strings
  • Removed some unintended links in the nav bar
  • Removed the lingering mochi/daifuku scavenger hunt targets, as this ended early this month
  • Resolved issue where staff were unable to remove currency from users
  • Increased image size of critters, equipment, and accessory images on character profiles
  • Fixed the name of the critter not correctly displaying underneath the critter image
  • Fixed character design updates not being functional
  • Fixed issue where users could not login via alternate logins
  • Fixed incorrect URLs being linked in some site notifications
  • Fought back the ever-encroaching achievement basket on character profiles
Known Bugs

These are issues that have been reported by players or noted by staff and have not been resolved yet but are on our radar.

  • Isomara of the Month will sometimes display a companion species
    • Low priority bug: staff will manually roll an Isomara if the site pulls a non-Isomara species for the IOM for the time being
  • Some item's information displays shops that they cannot be purchased at

DeviantArt Group Updates

Updates
Activity Game Closures

As mentioned in a previous update, some features of the DeviantArt version of the ARPG have now officially closed.

  • Sunday - November 26th - The Daycare
    • The Daycare is now closed. The Daycare was often used to sell new isolings, eggs, and companions at low prices. The onsite Daycare is now primarily a rehoming service for those who want to donate their character back to the game for other users to adopt with in-game currency.
Upcoming Closures
  • Sunday - December 3rd - Achievement Turn-In
    • After this date, we will no longer accept turn-in comments and add achievements to Isomara profiles on the IsomaraIndex account. We used to display five achievement images on each import page and then list the rest. We have experienced issues with the thumbnails disappearing and cannot always confirm which achievements an Isomara had if they earned it far in the past. Users can submit a claim on-site with a link to proof on DeviantArt if their character has earned an achievement they do not have on their masterlist page.
