View all past Update Logs

• Website updates, changes, and fixes below have already been applied to the site unless specified.

Website Updates

Updates

• The forum boards have been fully implemented. Users can chat, role-play, write stories, and post threads for trading items and characters.
• If you have suggestions for additional forum sections, please submit a suggestion report.

Item Consumption

• A new forum sub-topic has been made specifically for item consumption. Please refrain from submitting claims to feed your Isomara; instead, make a new thread with your username as the title. This thread will be for you to use for all your characters.
• This will be a temporary measure until automated item consumption has been implemented on the site.

Additional Character Profile Settings

• A new icon for exploration permissions has been added to all character profiles. This icon will inform players if the character's owner allows others to use it for exploration.
• You can change these settings to allow/disallow by selecting the Edit Profile button on a character's profile section.

• Separation of content boxes - Based on some opinions and preferences on the Isomara Island Discord, we've updated the character pages so that the content boxes containing companions/critters and equipment/accessories can now be condensed as they were or separated.
• By default, they are now separated. If you prefer the condensed look, you can go to the Edit Profile button on your character's profile section and change it there. You can set this for each character, adding a bit of further customization to the character pages.

Visual Trait Index

• There is now a visual index of traits. Currently, we only have a moderate selection of Isomara traits with images and additional image examples. There is also now a dedicated visual trait page location in the encyclopedia and sidebar.
• Visual Isomara Trait Index - You can select a trait to view information and additional example images.

New Prompts

• A Lesson in Give & Take - Can be found in the Prompt Pavilion under Lifetime Beats > Isoling Grow-Up

New Awards

• The Give Sigil can be earned through A Lesson in Give & Take prompt
• The Take Sigil can be earned through A Lesson in Give & Take prompt

• In-Game Currency - This fully explains how many seashells are earned per drawing / written literature. It is being improved, and more example images are being worked on.
• Development Roadmap - Made the site page for the roadmap that includes the known bugs that are mentioned in updates

Changes

In-Game Currency Rewards

• Word Count SS reward change, slight change to the formula to even out the curve (the exponential growth for longer stories was a bit too insane) for reference a 1,900 word story decreased from 303ss to 288ss, but 250 words increased from 17 to 19!
• Increased General Craft rewards from +15ss to +60.
• Added Enhanced Craft rewards

Art Gallery

• Added Gallery folders for Crafts & 3D art and General Literature
• Increased amount of gallery and submission preview images from 4 to 6 on homepage, user profiles, and character profiles

Miscellaneous

• Renamed Baby wings trait to Cherub
• Miscellaneous minor UI cleanup
• Added clarification note about max image size when submitting an image to the gallery
  

Fixes

• Age now automatically is populated (previously staff had to alter it by hand in the database) and all Isomara properly display their age
• Baby (cherub) Wings traits has been applied to all Isolings
• Added missing 6'4" height option for character profiles
• Inventory, equipment, critter, and accessory boxes on profiles now correctly display 8 of each item content
• Items in the encyclopedia now redirect to their page when selecting their image or name instead of a keyword search redirect.
• Item listings in the encyclopedia no longer duplicate and cover up other items

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.
• Critter images will sometimes overlap on character profile pages
• Exploration and Training permission icons will default to allow when editing a character's profile (This a high priority bug we are working on fixing right now)
• Roll rewards of "Nothing" are not clear when presenting this information
• Chance of multiple stamina to be used when playing Tide Pools or Queen's Cache games
