Update 7.6 - Seashell Balancing

Posted 2 weeks and 5 days ago :: Last edited 2 weeks and 5 days ago by NPC

This update includes some updates, changes, and fixes since Update 7.5. We wanted to push these changes sooner rather than waiting on Update 8.0 as these are rather important.

Seashells Earning In-Game Currency Balancing

The In-Game Currency Guide has received a large update to rebalance currency earning through submissions including some newly added sections, and removed sections.

🌠Past Work Seashell Redemption

IMPORTANT! For those players who have been around since before the website you'll likely remember the small payout of seashells in the prior 10 years which slowly increased over time. To thank the players with this rebalance we will be allowing all old work to be eligible for another seashell payout again using the new rates above as there have been many changes and improvements over the lifetime of the ARPG.

This means any work from 2014 to the present day can be submitted to the site's gallery and receive seashells with the new payout changes!

  • If you've already uploaded some old work to the site's galleries you may either delete them and resubmit them or submit a claim with the links to the submissions and we will recalculate the seashell earnings for them.
  • Any work submitted to the site that has received seashells for it will not be eligible for this new payout redemption
  • You may not resubmit the old work for any prompt or activity if it was already used for one back on the DeviantArt version of the ARPG

This is a special one-time happenstance that will only be available until January 31st, 2025. After that date, players are still welcome and encouraged to upload any and all work onto the site's galleries, but old work from before the site's existence will not be eligible for a secondary seashell payout.

If you have any questions please leave a comment in this news post.
Also, here's a secret code for reading all this! Use code 15335345H3LL5 to redeem some free seashells and a sanddollar. This code expires on February 1st, 2025!


Changes

🗨️ Wording Changes to Earning In-Game Currency Guide

  • We moved the word "bust" to be included in the headshots section of character visibility as a bust is closer to the amount of headshot visibility and not a half-body
  • Removed the "anatomically incorrect" wording when describing chibi proportions because while that can be used for chibi proportions a normal full body can be stylized and be anatomically incorrect and not be considered a chibi. We welcome stylized work and any art that drifts away from what one may consider to be "official" isomara anatomy and art style.

🛠️Fixes
  • Fixed Accessories and Equipment not displaying their descriptions in the Index
  • Fixed Companion Care Drops fail to populate at the start of the month automatically (December drops have been distributed!)
  • Fixed Written work not being calculated correctly for seashell earning (We knew it was wrong and ensured players were rewarded accurately thanks to old formulas and scripts we still have)

Click this to read a previous year's comic for a small lore snippet!  ------->

 

The worship of the Abyssals and Havens has subsided greatly over the years, and the celebrations of tasty treats and dances have changed and grown outside of their original purpose.

Activity #3 - Bring on the Carnival! (Questline)

Part 1: Winds Brew Wildness

     While windy weather alone won't stop Thyme and the rest of the crew from setting up a carnival, a thunderstorm will. Strange enough, no one has seen any lightning or rainfall, but signs of bolt strikes are present on the grounds, and the wooden stalls and decorations keep being knocked over even though they are wind-proof. 
     Thyme stands around a circle of other Isomara.
     "We need recruits to scout and watch over the grounds and surrounding area at night. I'm not letting another year slip by without a carnival! Get anyone you can to investigate the lightning marks and keep an eye on the weather." Commands Thyme.

     Draw/ Write about investigating the mysterious lightning strike marks and/or watching over the carnival grounds. Keep an eye out for anything bizarre and out of sorts.

Part 2: Swirling Winds & Strange Howls 

     Many Isomara showed up to volunteer in the investigation. Some kept an eye from the sky, while others scoured the grounds for clues. Thyme gathers everyone back into the center of the under-construction carnival. "Thanks to everyone's efforts and assistance, we might have a lead on the strange lightning strikes causing the carnival plans to stall." His words were stern, and the Isomara around him showed excitement at what they had just heard. 

     "While no lightning was seen in the last few nights, one duo of Isomara and their companions reported hearing howling in the area. The howling was mentioned to be louder during nights of strong winds." Murmurs around the circle commenced. Some could be heard.

'Well, of course, howling is heard during the wind. This is what wind does!' shouted one Isomara. 

'I bet it was one of us here just fooling around.' said an older Isomara with a scoff.

     Thymes ears twitched upon hearing these sudden spoken thoughts and added, "No matter the cause, we will find it. I will keep a closer eye on things the next couple of days, even... if it means losing my beauty sleep." His voice got quieter as he said that, almost as if he regretted making the self-promise as soon as the words left his mouth. He gulps in some air and returns to his previous composure. "Some animals might be making a ruckus during these windy nights. We will set up the stalls again, as well as some traps. Can all of you help us gather the materials to rebuild the broken stalls and also help in laying the traps?"

This part has two solutions. You may pick either one:

    1. Supply x5 Wood or Driftwood (Can be a combination), x13 Sticks, x1 Cloth or Fabric, x1 Simple Dye, x2 String or Vines (Can be a combination), and x18 Rocks
    2. Include a drawing or story about setting traps or helping build the carnival game booths/ stalls. It must also include Thyme.
  • Submit Part 2 Prompt Here
    • You can either submit art/lit or supply the exact amount of materials.
    • If supplying the materials when submitting the prompt under comments, mention that or add all the items listed above in the Add-Ons section.
Part 3: Ferocious Friction

     As everyone returned to the campground that following morning, only a few things were noticed to have been knocked over. Whimpering accompanied by tiny howls is heard coming from a triggered trap. The wooden trap laid out last night was now covered in stray foliage and a fallen sheet. As you approach, you notice marks of lightning strikes on the ground, making their way back to the center of the trap's location. You and the other crowding proceed closer with more caution.

     "Let me help. If it's a wild predator, you could be in danger." Thyme states with a paw, separating you and the trap. Having an experienced tamer reassures you. 

     Thyme gently removes the debris of leaves, sticks, and other plant matter. Then you grab one side of the sheet, and Thyme grips the other. You toss the sheet to the side, letting the light wind carry it a few paws length away. In the trap is a tiny young critter. Hunched, cowering in the wooden cage's center, was the creator of the howls. A four-legged furry critter with dark fur. It stops howling for a second and begins to shake uncontrollably. Its fur was starting to lift from the building friction until suddenly! <a href=

ZAP! 

     The built-up static released itself outward and into the ground, leaving a darkened mark upon the earth. Thyme, yourself, and the others are lightly shocked enough to startle and back up. 

  Draw/ Write about calming the creature down. Is there something you can say or give to it? Please keep it in the trap/cage, though. We wouldn't want it to attack anyone out of fear.

Part 4: A Baby Bahrū [Questline Conclusion]
 

     "Whoo. That lil guy sure gave us a startle. Must have gotten lost or chased out of the forest by a memic. It's a bahrū, probably no older than three new moons. I'm impressed you got it to calm down." Thyme begins to look at the critter and think.

     "I've never tamed one, so you should consider taking it. I've got my claws full with the other critters at the tavern anyway." he flips his hair with a smirk. "Of course, I need to take it with me for now and get it checked out. Make sure it's healthy. Come to my tavern later to pick them up, alright?"

With that, Thyme claps his paws and ushers everyone to start setting up the carnival again while he and another couple Isomara, take the caged critter to the Taming Tavern.

 

With that, the Hallows Carnival is up and running. There are various games of skill and luck to play.

Bahrū are now available to purchase at Thyme's Taming Tavern. There is a limit of 1 purchase per user. Those with an Ally Adoption Slip can adopt the Bahru free of charge.

The items inside the Hallows Gift Bundle will be changing on October 1st. We strongly recommend grabbing the item from Slay's Concessions and opening the bundle before October 1st as the items received when opening this bundle will change.

  • Everyone will be able to grab the new bundle on October 1st
  • You may miss out on goodies from the first version of the bundle if you wait to open the bundle once Oct. 1st rolls around
  • Opening bundles can be done through your inventory by selecting the item (Be sure to check the box when selecting items)

Updates

✏️ Make-Your-Own (MYO) Slots

MYO slots have been added to the site and are fully functional. Players can purchase MYO slots from either the MYO Shop (for in-real-life currency) or Slay's Concessions (for Seashells).

  • Notes:
    • MYO slots have been successfully ported from DeviantArt to here (only if the owner has an account on-site). Please submit a claim if you are still missing a MYO slot from the ones listed here.
    • If you had owned a MYO slot with any +# Uncommon/Rare traits your MYO slot was upgraded to an ultra slot.
    • If you had owned a MYO slot with any +# Special traits you were given that number of Chosen Special Trait items.
    • Upgrading MYO slots is not available at this time. This will be added in the next update.
    • Memora MYO slots are not available at this time. This will be added in the next update.
  • Changes:
    • MYO slots will not expire. Previously on DeviantArt MYO Slots would expire after 6 months - 1 year. We haven't enforced this for years and renewed all slots, and we want to make players fully aware of this.
    • Ultra Uncommon Standard Isomara MYO slot has increased from $10 (2000Seashells) to $12 (2,400Seashells)
    • UItra Rare Standard Iso MYO slot has increased from $15 (3,000Seashells) to $16 (3,200Seashells)
    • Common Deustrum MYO slot has increased from $7 (1,400Seashells) to $8 (1,600Seashells)
    • Uncommon Deustrum MYO slot has increased from $10 (2,000Seashells) to $12 (2,400Seashells)
    • Rare Deustrum MYO slot has increased from $15 (3,000Seashells) to $16 (3,200Seashells)
    • Chosen Special Trait add-on price reduced from $5 (1,000Seashells) to $3 (600Seashells)
    • Removed: "Patreon Pledgers get 50% off all MYOs whether buying with Points, PayPal, or Seashells!" - This is just for MYO slot purchases, and will remain on normal adopt sales

⚙️ Account Settings

  • Online Visibility - We've implemented an online / last-seen player functionality that will allow others to see when you are online.
    • For players who want to be a little mysterious, they can set themselves to invisible through the player account settings page. Setting yourself to invisible no longer displays whether you are online or your last online status. 

💝 Referral Rewards

  • When registering for an account there is now a referred by field that upcoming players can use to list a current player. Players will receive rewards when they are referred. You can see the list of referral rewards here.

 


Changes

🏝️Home Page UI
The homepage has received a slight uplift for both logged-in and guest users.

  • Added more quick link buttons for useful information such as island inhabitants, in-game currency, MYO info, and more.
  • Embedded our Bluesky social feed
  • Moved the navigation bar to the top of the screen and froze it. This allows players constant visibility on currency balances on every page.

🦤 Species Traits

  • Previously Bleppers with spikes/horns were listed to have the Spikes body trait which is a trait meant for only goom and was listed with a rare rarity. This was inaccurate as spikes/horns on bleppers are uncommon. We have made a proper new body trait for bleppers called horns with an uncommon rarity. All bleppers with the spikes body trait now have the correct horns body trait.
  • Renamed Blepper Horns crest trait to Plumicorns crest trait to avoid confusion with the new blepper horns trait

🫧 Miscellaneous

 


🛠️Fixes
  • Users will no longer see a report user button on their own profile pages
  • Birthday Publicity can now be updated in a player account Settings
  • Rainbow site theme bled into the Dark Mode theme
  • Fixed a broken link on the team page
  • Tweaked FAQ and Beginner's Guide MYO links and information
