Island News & Updates




Hallows Extravaganza Event 2025

The month of October has just begun, and with that begins the Hallows Extravaganza. While there are many things planned not everything can roll out at once, so we ask for your patience while activities are steadily rolled out.

To start things, why not start gathering mochi for the return of the limited time event shops?


Start of the Month & Every Day with free Treats!

📆 Daily Login Rewards!

Collect even more treats by claiming a free daily reward just for logging in.
There are 31 days worth of goodies to uncover!

Hallows Gift Bundle

The Hallows-themed gift bundle has returned and can be claimed at Slay's Concessions.

It will only be available during October.
Grab it and open it while you can!


NPC Shop Trick or Treating

Visit the following NPC Shopkeepers to collect a free mochi every day for October:

Along with the daily free mochi from the other shops, Darwin's Donations will have a hefty supply of mochi refilled daily. Players can collect one item from Darwin's Donations once an hour for free.


Prompt - Mochi Making 101

Carmen, Aycorn, and little Deus have set up a booth for those not only to watch the process of making mochi, but also to get hands-on and learn the tradition of making these treats. Join them and take part in the mochi-making, and even take home some of your very own handmade mochi!

Mochi Making 101 Prompt Closes: November 5th, 2025, 23:59:59 MST (UTC-07:00)

Prompt - Trick or Treat

Dress up in costumes with friends and go around gathering mochi from others on the island.

Trick or Treat Prompt Closes: October 31st, 2025, 23:59:59 MST (UTC-07:00)


A Sudden Interrogation Bequeaths Knowledge!

Stop playing these games and tell us about these foreign foods and seeds! Our curiosity must be satiated, but only slightly, as this odd shopkeeper will not fold so easily. They avoid telling us all the secrets, but provide the knowledge that the Altered Rice Seeds and Strange Beans can both grow by being submerged in water just like the normal rice seed, but specific water is required...



Stay Tuned!

This news post will be bumped when new activities and updates are available for the Hallow's Extravaganza.

Isomara Island ARPG Update 8.1

Updates, Changes, & Fixes since Update 8.1. This journal outlines additions and changes to the Isomara Island ARPG since the previous update. You may be familiar with some of the topics below. At times, we announce new features immediately in Discord, and we want to ensure the entire community knows the latest news and fixes.
View all past Update Logs


Website Updates

Updates

ℹ️ Information Documentation

🐈‍⬛ Memora Traits

🦤 Memic & Blepper Traits

  • New Stenciled and Patterned pad pattern traits
  • New Bluff, Hill, Wedge, and Sliver pad shape traits added
    • If you have previously designed an ultra memic or blepper MYO slot you are allowed to freely update the design once to apply these new traits

Changes

🥚Isomara Courtship - Egg Design

  • The passing of colors and markings to generate eggs from a courtship has been changed and expanded upon to grant more variation in potential offspring design
    • You can find the new summarized and in-depth break down on the Isomara Courtship page
      • Previous/Old Egg Design Breakdown - Click to Reveal
        • 30% chance to have color and/or markings of parent A
        • 30% chance to have color and/or markings of parent B
        • 20% chance to have color and/or markings of both parents
        • 20% chance to have color and/or markings of neither parents

🦤 Memic & Blepper Traits

🟢Trait Rarities

  • Back Leg Fins and Front Leg Fins for Isolings have been changed from the N/A rarity
    • Having these traits set to N/A rarity could cause confusion during the MYO design process, as these two traits can become two different rarities depending on the isomara's wing type when an adult. We've decided to default these traits rarities to as if the isomara was to become a swimmer (small-winged) isomara. If the traits need to be updated when the isoling becomes an adult, that is fine.

🔷Trait Categories

  • Recategorized all special category traits to other trait categories
    • You can see the changed in the trait index
    • This was causing some confusion, as "special" was a trait rarity and trait category. Also, some special rarity traits were in other trait categories than the special trait category
    • Special (Birth) will remain a trait category currently

🤠Equipment & Accessory Categories

  • Equipment, custom accessories, and official accessories now have subcategories based on where they normally would be adorned. This allows players to equip more equipment and accessories to their characters. Currently, there is a limit of one kind of equipment and accessory per character, this is to prevent characters overloading the same or too similar of items on a character for insane buffs. All current equipment and accessories have now the following added categories:
  • Equipment Category Name Custom Accessory Categories Official Accessory Categories
    Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
    Carrying Cases Head Gear Head Gear
    Containers Eyewear Eyewear
    Fishing Gear Neck Wear Neckwear
    Paw Tools Upper Body Upper Body
    Musical Instruments Lower Body Lower Body
    Toys Jewelry Jewelry
    Throwables Prosthetics Charms
    Multipurpose Orthotics  

🏝️ Exploration

  • Increased minimum word requirement to 500 per exploration (previously was 400)
  • Added FAQ section to bottom of the page

🥕 Hunger Mechanic

  • Increased hunger meter reduction when exploring from -10 to -20 HP per character
  • Increased hunger meter reduction when voyaging from -15 to -25 HP per character
  • Added "+1 additional chance to find a new item loot roll reward on voyaging submissions" as a new stuffed hunger buff
  • Altered buff and debuff text from "+/-#% chance of finding items. (Common, Uncommon, and Rare items all become more/less likely to be found while exploring)" to "+/-# additional item loot rolls rewards per each item on exploration submissions"
    • How exploration reward rolls has changed since the site's creation and this was a remnant of the old script/code

📓Prompt Requirements

🛍️ NPC Shops

🤢 Infliction/Ailments

  • Added "-1 loot roll to all items when exploring" as an effect of Joint Pain
  • Changed Dehydration effect from "Isomara will refuse to consume anything besides a cure." to:
    • " -1 loot roll to all items when exploring"
    • "Cannot explore the ocean or coral reef biomes"

🫧 Miscellaneous

  • Increased mushrooms needed for mushroom soup crafting recipe from 5 to 8
  • Mushroom soup now cures Dehydration and Frostbite
  • Goom Orbs have been changed from directly being a 1 to 1 Common Goom MYO Slot to being a loot table that when opened can either grant you a Common Goom MYO, Uncommon Goom MYO, or nothing.
    • As goom orbs are a findable item and can be received in multiple different ways, we decided instead of nerfing the drop rates of Goom Orbs to give the ability to get a higher rarity goom MYO while also having the chance at no MYO.
    • In lore gooms lay many eggs, some are empty and are meant to act as decoys to predators, and we wanted to reflect that
  • Hallows month is soon, use code AutumnArrival to receive some goodies

🛠️Fixes
  • Added missing links and fixed spelling/grammar errors on Isomara Courtship page,
  • Coral was incorrectly listed as available to drop from the ocean biome,
  • Buttons on the Queen's Cache and Tide Pools not centered,
  • Fixed that sometimes players are unable to adopt characters from The Daycare if multiple currencies are listed and the player has one or more of the currencies,
  • Fixed missing and incorrect links on the player dashboard page,
  • Fixed a broken link and various spelling/grammar errors on the Exploration page

🐛Known Bugs

You can find the full list of known issues here. These are issues that have been reported by players or noted by staff and have not been resolved yet, but are on our radar.

New issues on our radar:

  • Ink is unable to be crafted
  • Additional mobile formatting issues
  • Formatting and readability issues on Rainbow and Goom Site themes

Whirling Weather Event [pt. 3]

[Pt. 3] Withering Waves [ENDED]


General Event Guidelines & Information

  • No double-dipping - these submissions cannot be used for any other activity or prompt
  • You may collaborate on these event prompts, but prompt rewards will be split evenly amongst participants. In the event a reward cannot be split evenly, the player who submits the prompt will receive the reward.
  • You may only use NPC Isomara if you do not own an isomara
  • View the prompt pages for artwork and literature submission requirements

Event Details

     HEAT WAVES! The island is succumbing to a widespread drought now, but don't worry, the rain and rainbows have kept all isomara in very high spirits. We can get through this dry and hot summer together!

     During this time, all isomara are advised to carry fresh water with them to avoid dehydration and stay out of the sun. Long periods of sun exposure will result in sunburns. There are also reports that the leftover blanket of snow on the smaller island of Fross has completely melted, causing a growth surge of lush grass!

You can participate in Part 3 - Withering Waves without having done previous parts.


View the Whirling Weather Event Page for all information
This was a limited-time event. Part 3, the final part, of the event ended on August 1st, 2025, at 11:59 PM

 


[Pt.1] Starts with a torrential downpour [ENDED]


     Things have calmed since the capture of the troublesome sabotuer, but as soon as the lives of fellow isomara return to normal, dark clouds move in, bathing the island in a bluish grey hue. After a couple of days, the clouds remain, and rain begins to fall. Just a sprinkle at first, but now it has swiftly become a downpour. 

     Many inhabitants quite enjoy this weather and are taking the chance to collect the raining fresh water to store and use for later. From our estimate, these clouds and the accompanying rain will only stick around for about a week!


 

 


[Pt.2] Emerging Rainbows [ENDED]


     The rain comes to an abrupt stop in the middle of the night, and as day breaks, the clouds have cleared thanks to a strong gust of wind. Isomara, goom, bleppers, and fauna of all kinds emerge from their dwellings to bask in the well-missed sunshine. One critter among them all ignores the sun and seems to be more enamored with a different weather event occurring. 

     The unique cloud hopper critters are seen darting around the skies, gleefully taking in the many rainbows that arc through the light and vanish into the island environment. From sunrise to nightfall, the cloud hoppers continue to woosh about, distracted by the unusual weather, making it the perfect time for opportunistic isomara to catch a new critter partner!

📈 MYO Slot & MYO Add-On Price Increases

On August 1st, we will be increasing the prices on various items sold for real-life currency (USD) in the MYO Slot Shop.
Due to the fee that payment processors such as PayPal take on our business account, we will need to raise the rates of any items which cost $3 or less (for instance, when we make a $2 sale, PayPal takes $0.60, which is a 30% fee).
Normally, our exchange rate is $0.01 = 2 seashells. For the following items, this will not be the case. These will be the only items whose seashell-to-dollar ratio will not be 1:2, as there is no need to double the seashell price.

These are the only items changing in price:

  • Random Special Trait Increases from $1 / 200Seashells to $3 / 250Seashells
  • Common Blepper MYO Slot increases from $2 / 400Seashells to $3 / 450Seashells
  • Common Goom MYO Slot increases from $2 / 400Seashells to $3 / 450Seashells

The following items will also receive a slight price increase as they are pure upgrades to the prior items and should not cost the same amount:

  • Chosen Special Trait increases from $3 / 600Seashells to $4 / 700Seashells
  • Uncommon Blepper MYO Slot increases from $3 / 600Seashells to $3.50 / 650Seashells
  • Uncommon Goom MYO Slot increases from $3 / 600Seashells to $3.50 / 650Seashells

You can purchase the above items before the price increase on August 1st from the MYO Slot Shop (for USD) and Slay's Concessions (for Seashells).

 

I (SlayersStronghold) do apologize for any anger or unrest this may cause. I've done my best to keep prices reasonable for the last 10 years in the ARPG, but due to increasing tax rates, these fees do add up, and a few prices of items must be raised. Below is an additional topic up for discussion that I'd like the community to weigh in on before I make any decision. Players are also welcome to join the conversation and relay any feedback on the above through our official site support system, or join in on the conversation in ⁠💬|community-chatter channel of our Discord.



Discussion Topic - Sand Dollar USD Pricing

Use either our Discord's ⁠💬|community-chatter channel to leave your thoughts and feedback, respond in the comments of this news post, or you may submit a feedback ticket to our Support Center.
Options when it comes to handling the Sand Dollar premium currency:

  1. Remove Sand Dollars from the MYO Slot shop permanently?
  2. Sand Dollars also receive a price increase?
  3. Only sell Sand Dollars in a bundle to retain their $1 = 1 Sand Dollar ratio?

Option One 1️⃣

  • Sand Dollars are described as a premium currency, which is usually meant as a currency players can purchase with real-life funds. If we decide to remove them from being purchased with real-life currency, we will also ensure to change the wording and remove all mentions of "premium currency".
  • This currency's drop rates would remain the same and still be earnable through activities like exploration, games, events, etc. Earning Sand Dollars through the game would not change

Option Two 2️⃣

  • Sand Dollar price increases from $1.00 to $2.00
  • This currency is meant to be a 1:1 dollar ratio, at this time we only make $0.40 for each $1.00 spent, so by raising the price $1 wile we will still be taking a $0.60 (30%) fee on these purchases, we would still be receiving at least the intended 1:1 dollar value.

Option Three 3️⃣

  • Make a bundle of no less than 5 Sand Dollars costing $5.
  • Ideally, we could even do a larger bundle than that.

 

Note from SlayersStronghold - "I favor options 1 and 3. Also, next update will be adding an option to buy Sand Dollars with Seashells from Darwin's Exchange Center."

These are the latest updates and changes to the Isomara Island ARPG Patreon account. Consider supporting the ARPG by pledging to our Patreon, grabbing a supporter pack, or purchasing one of the open adoptables or a MYO Slot. By becoming a monthly patron, you will get sneak peeks, exclusive content, MYO slots, in-game currency, items, and more. By supporting us, you ensure that this game continues to run smoothly, allowing us to devote more time to it.
View all past Update Logs


Update and Changes summary

     Over the years, I, SlayersStronghold, have debated whether or not to shut down the Patreon. I have never felt it was in good taste to allow people to donate real money, especially monthly, without receiving something in return. I could not always promise frequent posts either, but ultimately have decided against shutting it down as I can now ensure monthly rewards and a more active development path thanks to this website. I am very thankful that people are willing to donate their hard-earned money to support the Isomara Island ARPG. The following updates and changes had the aim to provide worthwhile and useful rewards to patrons while not overpromising.
     I had taken a long look at our current supporter page, and while it was created with inspiration from our old Patreon tiers, I decided to rework the Patreon tiers to align more with the supporter packages. 
Note that the rewards for supporting the site directly and the Patreon are intentionally different.


Patreon Membership Tiers

 
Gracious Gooms [$5]

  • Combined the Intelligent Isos [$5] and Gracious Gooms [$3] Patreon tiers to align with the support tier Gracious Gooms

    • We no longer have an exclusive Discord channel for supporters

    • This was a leftover reward from the DeviantArt ARPG version. The Patron Supporter is now the Island Supporter, and instead of being an Isomara achievement is now a player achievement.

Removed:

  • Tier Reward "Your name in our videos and video descriptions"
    • We do not do videos often enough to be able to commit to this promise. If we do make any videos, we will try to remember to add the names of our supporters from our credits page to the videos, but we will not promise this as a reward.

Isomara Island ARPG Update 8.1

Updates, Changes, & Fixes since Update 8.0. This journal outlines additions and changes to the Isomara Island ARPG since the previous update. You may be familiar with some of the topics below. At times, we announce new features immediately in Discord, and we want to ensure the entire community knows the latest news and fixes.
View all past Update Logs


Website Updates

Updates

🥸 Player Privacy

  • Player privacy is very important to us, as we continue to work on the site, we want to ensure players feel safe and that they have plenty of options to keep their information and game data visible or hidden based on their preferences. We would like to call out some previously implemented features and new features that align with privacy.
  • New Features:
    • Currency Visibility is a newly added player setting that allows players to hide their currency balances from other players. The currency box on the player profile, along with any sidebar menu options, and the pages themselves will be hidden from other players' gazes if you so choose!
    • The Art Gallery has now been made private to only those who are logged in. The recent gallery submission box on the home page will remain public. 
    • The online player count on the footer of the site is only available to view to logged-in players.
    • The Discord widget located near the bottom of the home page is only available to view to logged-in players as this display's usernames.
  • Current Features:
    • Player profiles and Player Shops are hidden from anyone not logged into the site. This includes information such as currency balances and owned items.
    • The Player's List on the community nav drop-down is also private to only those logged in.
    • Birthday Publicity is a player setting that allows you to hide either your full or partial age. You can choose to just display your day and month (While option 2 does say anyone can see your birth day and month, this is the same option as option 1 since we have privated profiles to only those logged in).
    • Online Visibility is a player setting that allows you to show or hide whether you are currently online, when the last time you were online was, or keep it a mystery. We understand some players just like to lurk and not have attention brought to them when they are online.

🤢 New Infliction/Ailment

  • Added a new poisoned ailment that can be received during failed encounters with gooms, memoras, and queen memoras.

🐈‍⬛ New Items

🫧 Miscellaneous

  • Added neopronouns Zey/Zem/Zeirs and Ze/Zir/Zirs to character profile options
    • You can edit your character's information, such as personal pronouns, gender identity, height, and general profile information, by selecting the "Edit Profile" button on the profile section of the character's masterlist page.
  • An Event & Contest Log has been created on-site. We are continuing to work on bringing all past event information on DeviantArt to the site for preservation.

Changes

🏝️ Exploration

  • Added the art and literature requirement information to the exploration prompt details
  • Refined some wording on the exploration page for clarity

🥕 Hunger Mechanic

  • Event submissions now reduce a character's hunger meter by 5 points (previously was 0)
  • Reduced hunger points given by Ice from +1 to 0

🛍️ NPC Shops

  • Increased Darwin's Donations cooldown to 1 hour (previously was 10 minutes)
  • Pacings' Shop no longer sells goo, ectoplasm, and gem items (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds)
  • Pumpkin Drops are now only available yearly between September 1st and November 30th at Carmen's Fabrication Station

🟣 Special Traits

  • Players can now officially start earning special traits for their characters. 
    • Note that some goom and memora special traits are missing ways to earn. These will be added in a future update.
  • Changed the No Scent perk from "-5% to encounter memics while exploring" to "+5 Modifier to flight when in a memic encounter". Memics are now more likely to lose the scent of the isomara while on the hunt!
    • Enemy encounters are a great way to earn items and are optional to respond to, so instead of a reduced percentage of encountering memics, we wanted to ensure these isomara will have a bit of a buff against them.

🐲 Island Inhabitants Page

  • Updated the intro paragraph information
  • Removed rule from Island Inhabitants page that listed Isomara can only have one large companion and two of each small companion
    • This was a leftover rule from the DeviantArt version of the ARPG. As staff would have to manually add companions to visual images, master list pages, and log these changes.,
    • This rule is still applied to any Isomara that is not ported onto this site as manual work on the DeviantArt version of the ARPG still exists in some ways,
  • Added some missing images,
  • Added Froelacanthis to the tertiary inhabitants sections,
  • Added a small bit of text to each tertiary inhabitant,
  • Fixed minor grammar and spelling errors

🫧 Miscellaneous

  • New Isomara trait, Petite Ears, is now available (credit to player, Owliette, for the suggestion)
  • New Isomara trait, Polydactyly, is now available (credit to player, OtterlyKath, for the suggestion)
  • Moved Taming Companions info page from the activities dropdown to the Island Inhabitants page
  • Renamed the Spikes Goom body trait to Thorny to avoid confusion with the spiked isomara horn trait
  • Added a small snippet of text to the Care Drops tab of uncompanioned characters to mention how to companion them to an isomara
  • Increased amount of Jumbo Skrill needed to craft Camo Scrub from 1 to 2
  • Added option to use either goo or venom when crafting a Camo Scrub
  • Increased amount of either goo or venom needed to craft Camo Scrub from 1 to 3
  • Thank you for your patience on this update! Use code 5UMM3RH34T to receive some goodies.

🛠️Fixes
  • Fixed Seashell Reward Calculation Error
    • We noticed an issue with the formula we wrote, which calculates how many seashells to give players for each gallery submission based on what they filled out. Most of the time, this error would give players more seashells than intended, but there were just over a dozen gallery submissions that were rewarded less than what they should have earned. We have compensated all of the players of these submissions with the difference in seashells they were missing.
    • All gallery submissions have been gone through to verify this
    • We will not remove seashells from players who received more than intended
  • Fixed some MYO slot upgrade examples listed incorrect pricing (no one was charged the incorrect prices
  • Egg Nurturing prompt is not properly linked under the egg hatching section in the Prompt Pavilion
  • Dumb Love achievement image added in Prompt Pavilion
  • Fixed full hunger status being at 77 instead of 76
  • Removed the mochi image from the island inhabitant page
  • Remove companions from the item consumption drop-down
  • Fixed various isomara with the perked ear being listed as having the flop ears
  • Fixed the duplicated Darwin's Exchange Center text
  • Fixed avatar image on the nav bar not linking to player profiles
  • Removed the chance of finding Jumbo Skrill having two rolls instead of one when exploring the ocean
  • Fixed the exploration page listing and linked to Moss under the Forest section instead of Flowering Quince
  • Added incorrect or missing links to the Beginner's Guide
  • Improved usability and readability on 4k monitors and mobile phones

😵‍💫A Scoundrel, A Saboteur, an Isomara in Trouble Event Conclusion❗

Full Event Page Here

With the aid of the community, the sabotuer was captured and brought into captivity. Darwin firmly ties up the troublesome isomara to await their trial.

A crowd of isomara clambers to finally witness the capture of the petty criminal who had wrought havoc and meaningless destruction to their very own society.
     "There, now please don't make this any more difficult," orders Darwin, tightly pulling on a vine wrapped around the sabotuer. "You'll have to go through the closest village's jury to decide whether you deserve exilement or not..." Darwin finishes the final knot and turns to the crowd. "Thank you all who helped out, and my heart goes out to all those who faced damages and harm from this miscreant. Change can be scary, annoying, and may seem bad, but I firmly believe that as a society, we are growing together, stronger, and more open-minded. Keep building your trinkets, wearing your new clothes, and this one is very important: cook and use fire safely and under supervision. Communication is the most important thing between you and your neighbors. I mean, look, without communication, I wouldn't have all of you here who helped with securing the arrest of this isomara." The delivery boy sighs and takes a deep breath before continuing with his speech. "And while I have no say for what may come to the sabotuer, please do not hold ill-will towards this isomara or others like them. Teach, learn, and listen. Our ways change quickly, and we need to accept that some will have a difficult time adapting. Now, please go about your normal day. I see clouds moving in, so prepare for potential storms soon."
     The crowd begins to dissipate and Darwin, with the help of a few, carries the sabotuer away to the local village for the final verdict.
