Updates, Changes, & Fixes since Update 7.0. 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 right away in the Discord, but we want to ensure the entire community knows the latest news and fixes.

Website Updates

Updates

  • A new event has gone live. You can find the event in its entirety here.
  • Complete the two event prompts to earn items, a new rainbow site theme, and even a new cloud hopper variant.
  • Event ends on June 30th

New Game - Sink or Soaricon_ss.png

  • Sink or Soar has been released with much praise from the community. For those visiting the Tide Pools, you'll likely spot Aycorn waiting to play a simple number-guessing game of Sink or Soar.

Added Guides & Information Pages

  • Island Inhabitants - Find all information and page resources for species and animals living on the island. This page has been added to the Inhabitants tab on the navigation bar. This page is still a work in progress and contains placeholder images.
  • Isomara Communication - Goes over how Isomara communicate through verbal, and nonverbal means, and alongside the new Sink or Soar game implements the number written notation of the Isomara species.
  • Hunger Mechanic - Learn all about that hunger meter that is present on the Isomara Masterlist pages, how to increase it, and what hunger affects. This page has been added to the Resources tab on the navigation bar.
  • Inflictions & Ailments - Isomara can contract illness and be harmed in some activities. This informative page tells you all about the ailments an Isomara can contract along with the effects and cures to them. This page has been added to the resources tab on the navigation bar.
  • Courtship - Mating traditions for Isomara are not too different from our own. Courtship describes what preparations two Isomara must take which will lead to producing eggs.
    • The Courtship Traditions Tab in the Prompt Pavilion has also been updated with the new prompts.

Site Themes

  • A dark mode theme has been implemented on the site. To enable a site theme go to your settings and select which theme you would like. Choosing no theme will revert the appearance of the site to the default blue/white theme.
  • A rainbow pride theme is also available to those who complete the new Basking in Rainbows event.

 


Changes


Courtship

  • Reduced max amount of times a single isomara can court from twice a month to once a month
  • Unified the amount of date prompts an isomara needs to complete to court to two dates
    • Previously only one date was needed if courting your own isomara, now is two. And if courting with an isomara not owned by you each person can do one date each (which has remained the same).
    • We have decided to stabilize the number of dates to two to ensure the isomara get to know each other and build their relationship.

Miscellaneous

  • Renamed any uses of "bust" to "bust/halfbody" as when we referred to art busts it was for 25-64% of the character being visible, and as we know a bust typically refers to just a portion of the upper body.

Fixes
  • Fixed formatting of various pages with contents extending off the page on smaller window sizes.
  • Fixed being unable to adopt a character from The Daycare if the character had multiple ways to purchase
  • Hyperlink over an entire paragraph in the FAQ page
  • Added some missing or incorrect links in the Beginner's Guide
  • Prompt rewards correctly state "stat points" instead of "character points"


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
  • 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
  • Countdown timers on various games will reset to 59:59 when reaching 00:00 (Workaround is to refresh the page)
  • Companion Care Drops fail to populate at the start of the month automatically
