😵‍💫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.

🎊10th Anniversary Bash🎊

Firstly, A Sentimental Note from Slayer, owner & creator of the Isomara Island ARPG

     Hi all, Slayer here wanting to express my gratitude towards all players here of the Isomara Island ARPG. I am beyond thankful to all of you who have taken an interest in my little species and the game. Whether you have been around since the first few isomara designs in 2014 or just joined today, thank you so much. I hope you all continue to enjoy Isomaras as much as have. 

     For a brief history lesson, over 10 years ago, I created the first rough design of what would be the first Isomara, our Tour Guide, Slay. After a redesign and stumbling into the original species community, Isomaras had been officially announced and released as an original species. In early 2015, we had a small blossoming community with their own isomara characters. Soon after, I created the official ARPG group on DeviantArt. Now here we are, 10 years later.

     Isomara Island has been a huge ongoing passion project of mine that I will never let go of. There have been tough times, but I've persevered and strived to continue development. I'm proud of the work I've put in, the players who have stuck with me for nearly a decade, and I'm grateful I get to keep making things I love. I've made this ARPG to be as welcoming as possible to both beginner and veteran artists and writers of all skills and backgrounds. This hobby helped me develop and push my creativity throughout my college years and further. So now, without further ado, I will shut my mouth and allow you all to enjoy the activities we have on the menu for this 10th anniversary bash.

Goom Takeover 2025

Goo Retrieval

General Event Guidelines & Information:

• This event is being hosted only on the official Isomara Island site
• The gooms have come to take the island from their Isomara companions. While the takeover is playful, it can still be annoying. Seems the gooms want their goo back. Work with the community to collect goo and ectoplasm and give it back.
• A goom takeover site theme is currently available by setting your account's theme choice to default. This theme will revert to normal on April 4th, but will be available for all members later in the month to use freely forever.

Event Details

     "You've been kind to us the last few years, but we've gotten bored!" Joey the goom, companion to the Tour Guide, Slayer, squeaks vehemently. Gooms cannot speak the same tongue as Isomara, but his anger reaches his companion. Slay seems a bit nervous.
     "Now, Joey, calm down. I get it happens to be the time of the year for y'all's mischief, but can we work this ou-" She hopes to reason with the small, angry, blubbery creature, but Joey interrupts.
     "Bring us GOO!" The squeaking begins once again. Other gooms in the nearby shrubbery begin to squeak in the same tone, creating a reverberating echo through the area. Joey begins to then spew goo into the air like a broken faucet, and the other the gooms follow suit. Slayer puts a palm to their face in agony.

View the Goom Takeover Event Page for information on how to participate and prizes
This is a limited-time event that ends when 200 cups of goo are donated or at 11:59 PM on April 30th

We underestimated the community's determination and tenacity! We've increased the goal from 100 to 200 cups of goo, and have included an additional raffle prize, this time a bundle for an Isomara Island Website Invitation Key 🔑 & Common Standard Isomara MYO Slot!

Everyone who has already donated goo/ectoplasm will be given two Red Goo Beads to use for either this raffle, to trade/sell, or to hold on to. Red Goo Beads have been added to the Goom Favor drop table.
This invitation key can be used to sign up and create an account on this website. Perhaps you have a friend or acquaintance who wants to join?

Colorful Currents 2025

Fro-la-whats-this?

General Event Guidelines & Information:

Event Details

     A crowd of isomara congregate at the shores to gawk and cheer at the return of the pink currents teaming in nutrient-rich algae, salt, and most importantly skrill. Many isomara have already dived in with their nets and other gear to begin fishing for the succulent jumbo skrill.

    While eager to do some fishing, you may want to find a less crowded area. Perhaps, Aycorn, watcher of the Tide Pools, knows of a more vacant yet lucrative area? Aycorn keeps an eye on the population of the skrill and other creatures that wash into the pools from high tide, and who knows maybe he will be allowing more casting attempts at the pools.

View the Colorful Currents Event Page for phase #1 information
This is a limited-time event that ends at 11:59 PM on April 21st April 28th

Updates

🛍️ Player Shops

• Once a player makes a shop, it will appear in the Player Shop Index, and a new section will appear on the player's profile.

🐈 Companion Conservation

• The Bramble Thicket is the first of the new areas that players can discover. Various NPC companions reveal these small hidden areas after gaining their favor.
• You can do a new quest for Thyme to receive Lydia's favorite treat. Once you use the treat to gain Lydia's favor, you can assist her in providing bedding and chow to abandoned Memora kits. In return, these kits may leave you gifts or may even want to join your side once they've gained their strength.
