A Thousand Steps At A Time - Bonus Activity

     Train your body and mind alongside your isomara by submitting a daily step count. For every 1,000 steps walked (or 0.5 miles / 0.8km walked) you will receive +1 stat gain for a specific isomara of your choice for the day (can be any Isomara you own or an NPC). If you reach 10,000 steps (5 miles) you will receive a bonus +5 stat gain for that isomara of your choice for the day.

2. You can only submit your steps ONCE per day, even if you take more steps after! Each day resets at midnight island time (UTC-7 / MST)
3. List one Isomara's Name or ID# that you'd like to apply the stat points to (You can list a different isomara each day) either in the gallery submission or add the character in the Character's section when submitting to the gallery.

Note: For those with limited mobility or those unable to leave the home and may not be able to participate in the bonus activity of this event which is focused on walking, you may submit another form of proof to showcase exercise or brain training in another way. Whether it be a small checklist of strength training reps, an image of a completed exercise routine or crossword puzzle, timer of how long you were reading a novel, or other unique form to you (for example a screenshot you played # of minutes of a VR game). You will receive +1 stat point per 10 mins of exercise/brain training, and the bonus +5 stat points for 100 mins of exercise/brain training in the day.

Changes

🥕 Hunger Mechanic

• Added debuff to the starving status
  • When an isomara's hunger reaches zero (0) they will be unable to participate in any activity, prompt, or event until they have at least 1 hunger (the character can be included in artwork/stories, but will not factor into any rewards or be eligible to earn rewards which includes but is not limited to: stats, items, and experience).
• Courtship Tradition prompts (date prompts) now reduce hunger by 10 (previously was 3)
• Snow item now grants -1 hunger points (previously was +0 hunger points)

🤧Infictions & Ailments

• The percentage chance of certain items curing an ailment when used/consumed has been removed. Now, using/consuming said item will always cure at least one instance of that ailment, and some items can cure more than one instance of an ailment. We took notice that some isomara were accumulating a lot of a single ailment.
  • Honey has changed from "35% chance to cure a bee sting" to "cures one instance of bee stings"
  • Avocado has changed from "5% chance of causing an Upset Stomach" to "Causes one instance of Upset Stomach ". Avocado item description now clearly states cures one instance of both Scurvy and Joint Pain.
  • Filler Smoothie cures three instances of each of the ailments: Dehydration, Scurvy, and Upset Stomach
• These items can now be used as cures from your inventory:
  
  • Ice
  • Honey
  • Snow
• Aloe Vera no longer cures splinters
• Ramen now cures dehydration and frostbite (three instances each, too!)
• Snow no longer can cure dehydration

• Use code FallB00n to receive some seashells

• Purchasing redesigns can now be accomplished by buying a manemi fruit item from the MYO Slot Shop. There are other ways to procure this fruit in the game, but you'll have to discover how.
• Minor visual UI fixes and cleanup

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! - ENDED

NPC Shop Trick or Treating - ENDED

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

• Slay's Concessions
• Pacings' Shop
• Carmen's Fabrication Station
• Hasha's Hut
• Charlotte's Iron Emporium
• Thyme's Taming Tavern
• Darwin's Exchange Center

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 - CLOSED

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 Closed: November 5th, 2025, 23:59:59 MST (UTC-07:00)

Trick or Treat Prompt Closed: 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...

Changes

🦤 Memic & Blepper Traits

  • Collar is for Memics, while Partlet is for Bleppers
  • Circle Pads is for Memics, while Round Pads is for Bleppers
  • Fluff Feathered is for Memics, while Fuzz Feathered is for Bleppers

🟢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

  Toys	Jewelry	Jewelry
  Throwables	Prosthetics	Charms
  Multipurpose	Orthotics

• 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

Whirling Weather Event [pt. 3]

[Pt. 3] Withering Waves [ENDED]

General Event Guidelines & Information

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!
