📮 Update Announcement: 10-27-2024
Posted 2 days and 21 hours ago :: Last edited 1 day and 21 hours ago by MrgrembleA few quick update announcements for the group:
Site Age Limit
Based on our community poll from a while back, the new age restriction for the site is now 16+. As of today, October 27th, 2024, users under this age range may no longer create an account until they are of age. If we find that an underaged user has created a new account then we will close said account until they meet the minimum age bracket.
There are a very small handful of long-time users just beneath the age bracket who have been here since before this update. They will be grandfathered in and allowed to keep their accounts so long as they were created before October 27th 2024.
However, for these grandfathered users, the site will be restricted. Discord is barred off from underaged users and design approvals, trades, shops and prompts which are NOT marked as "16+ only" are allowed to still be accessed, but that is your limit. Any new content that is marked with this tag will be inaccessible.
Trait Category Update
There are a couple of Seasonal Traits which, unlike their counterparts that are available in only specific seasons, were intended to be available throughout every season (namely the Quad Wing and Insect Wing traits). We realize that the "Seasonal" name for these traits was a bit confusing when they continued to show up year round, so we have moved them into a new category called "Exclusive Traits."
This new category is essentially the same as the Seasonal Traits category in terms of rules and presentation, the only difference is that we can now separate them to be categorized as year-round exclusive traits which are separate from mutations, that you can access at any point, not just in specific seasons.
Design Transfers and Character Binding
Please read this section fully and carefully.
This is something that has been in discussion for a while and that we've been wanting to implement for the better part of a couple of years or so. We have updated the group rules and are now going to be allowing Grem designs you own to be ported onto other closed species/one-off designs and vice versa without requiring that the Grem be voided first. (*One exception to this rule is Mantagrems, please read the section below for the rules regarding them as they are a special case since they are a hybrid that is co-owned with another party.)
This means that if you have a character that is special to you, you can now port them into Grems as a look-alike design even if they have alternate versions that exist in other species. You can also port your Grem designs to other species if you like and continue to keep the Grem active as well.
As part of the update, and in an effort to help mitigate any trade issues that might arise. We do require that if you do this you let us know either via a claim, or during the design submission so that we can mark down on the Grems masterlist that they are based on/have counterpart designs.
Please also know that if you decide to create a Grem based on a pre-existing design, OR create a design based on a Grem, you are required to let us know, and the designs will then be considered "bound" together. Bound designs may NOT be separated and should be traded or transferred together in the event that an ownership change takes place. If we find that designs which were bound have been separated, then there may be repercussions for the offending user up to and including a ban depending on the severity of the damage caused. We will take design separation very seriously as it has potential to impact multiple users, which is something we'd rather avoid if possible, so please if you are going to create alternative designs, respect the binding rule.
Note that this new rule only applies to designs that are visibly similar to the alternate versions. If you have designs that look entirely different but share the same name/personality/character bio, then this does not apply to those designs so long as they remain visually distinct. This is only for designs that are intended to be visibly the same design in alternative forms/species.
That being said if you have already created alternate species/one-off designs based on your Grem, or your Grem is based on a pre-existing design and you'd like us to link them, then please submit a claim with the links to said characters and we will add this info into the notes section!
For ease of access here is the updated section concerning Grems, alt designs, and binding designs. Please be sure to give it a read through as it should cover anything we've missed in this text.
_______________
[7:1] You are required to notify us when transferring the design of a grem you own onto another CS/One-off, (or vice versa) so that we may update the masterlist description to include a mention of the alt species/OC version. Any issues that arise from failure to do so may result in a strike or a forced Grem void depending on the severity.
[7:2] You may only create alternate species versions or OC's based on designs of Grems that you currently own.
[7:3] Upon creating a Grem based off of another one-off or closed species design, the Grem is considered bound permanently to the CS or one-off that they are based off of.
- Binding (or locking) means that the designs will be linked to each other and in the event that any of the linked designs are ever transferred (traded, sold, gifted, etc.) in the future, they all must be transferred together They cannot be separated under any circumstance.
[7:4] Trading a Grem (or a bound design attached to a Grem) separately from it's bound counterpart may result in severe consequences. (Final warning or ban depending on severity).
[7:5] If you wish to separate a Grem from its bound designs, then you must go through the basic redesign process in order to make them look visually distinguishable enough from each other. This is the only way to lift the binding. Please let an admin know, and upon approval, the previously linked versions of the design will then be voided and hidden on the masterlist.
[7:6] Due to their co-ownership restrictions, Mantagrems are NOT allowed to have counterparts made based on their designs (one-offs or CS versions) without explicit permission from Kemikel. Mantagrems also may not be voided per Kemikels request.
- Please be sure to contact Kemikel before making an alt design based on a mantagrem as failure to do so could result in strikes, or a ban.
[7:7] Gremcorps staff is not responsible for any damage caused if you end up acquiring a design that was originally a users' one-off or CS. Please be sure to do your research before claiming a Grem.
_______________
We hope you guys enjoy this update and that this frees you up to port some of your favorite designs into Grems and vice versa for the Grems that you already own whom you'd love to use in other places as well.
A small side note before we go.
Remember that the applicators you get from collecting items such as the Wing Fragments or the Golden Feathers may be crafted in the Crafting Section of the site. This can be found by going to ACTIVITY>CRAFTING on the header dropdowns. You no longer need to send in claims for them as they are now automatic via crafting! We've had a few claims still be submitted for these, so figured the reminder might help.
Also the Mutation Ticket / Mysterious Ticket Scraps have had their recipe art made and have been added into this area as well now, so feel free to take your scraps over to crafting and get glueing!
Thank you guys! See you again soon.
📮 🎃Update Announcement: 10-01-2024
Posted 4 weeks and 10 hours ago :: Last edited 3 weeks and 6 days ago by Mrgremble🎃 October Event & UPDATES 🎃
[🎃October 2024 Event Page🎃]
For this event, you will be collecting Candy in order to buy masks and other goodies from Frisk, who's come into town once again! Foraging and Event Prompts will be available for you to complete in order to gain as much candy as possible!
(For more information on the event, please click "🎃October 2024 Event Page🎃" above to be taken to the event page!)
👻 Reminder: Be sure to pick up the free theme applicator in Frisk's Shop!
------------------------------------------------------
Event updates, Free-to-Enter Raffles, & MORE 🎨
Raffles:
2 free to enter raffles are being hosted for the duration of this event (One for FFA and one for FTO)!
- Winners from either raffle will receive a choice between an E-T or Pred MYO slot.
You can read all of the raffle information on our october event page linked above.
New Traits and Items:
For this event, we have created 4 new seasonal traits, and have updated and finalized an older one in order to bring it out of early access! New items have also been added to this event roster.
Traits:
[Dweller Tail] | [Skull Mask] | [Ghost Frost] | [Multicoloured Bone] | [Quad Wings] |
Items:
[Sugar Skull] | [Gummy Crawlies] | [Grittles ] | [Ghostymallow] | [Enchanted Mirror] | [Bone Sweets] | [Golden Feather] |
🌟 Golden Feather - This item will now be available in all foraging areas year round, but will be more commonly found in Event Foraging areas during event runs!
CANDY/EVENT CURRENCY UPDATE
Starting this year, once the Event Shop comes to a close, all leftover candy will be permanently removed from user accounts and reset to 0. [AFTER Dec 8th 11: 59PM EST].
- This update is being implemented in order to keep things fair for both new and old players alike. (This way all users will start on fresh even footing each year with collecting candy.) As well as to prevent any major fluctuations or complications in shop pricing during future events.
- There is a new option this year for what to do with your leftover candy! Users will be able to exchange any extra candy for gibs at an exchange rate of 1 per 5 in Frisk's Shop for the duration of the event. This feature will be available until Dec 8th 11: 59PM EST.
- (As this is a new feature, please note that these exchange rates are not set in stone and could be subject to change during future events!)
MISC. UPDATES
Due to the large number of wild animals appearing last year and taking over foraging rolls, Companion Tokens have been removed from the event foraging area this year. Instead there will be a mini prompt geared towards obtaining the featured Companion for this event for those specifically seeking companions!
With that said, we will be removing pumpkimp tokens from evie's shop permanently on October 8th 11:59 PM EST. If you're wanting to buy one, then please be sure to purchase one from the shop before then! Otherwise you will also be able to obtain them during this event from the Featured Companion mini prompt. Once the event ends there will be other opportunities to collect them via mini prompts in the future.
Crafting:
We've added in a crafting system that will now allow users to turn in their "piece" items (Ex: Wing Fragments, Bone Sweets, Golden Feathers, etc.) automatically in exchange for the full applicators that they award. This means that you will no longer need to send in claims in order to get your item! The ticket scraps are missing a recipe at the moment but they should be added in sometime soon. We hope to add more to this feature over time as well!
You can find this area here: [CRAFTING] (Or by going to the header drop downs and selecting Activity > Crafting !)
As this system is new, please keep an eye out and let us know if anything unexpected or unintended happens as it is likely a bug that will need fixed!
Thank you to everyone who has read this! Have yourselves a very spooky Halloween!

📮 Update Announcement: 05-01-2024
Posted 5 months and 3 weeks ago :: Last edited 5 months and 3 weeks ago by MrgrembleHello all! Here are a bunch of updates!
New "Mini prompt: eden"
The second prompt "Mini prompt: Eden" has officially been made available!
Here you will draw your grems spending time with eden, doing so will award you not only petals but a mysterious roll of something good from the tree itself! From potions, to gourds, gibs, and possibly more! This new mini prompt will be open until the end of the event (May 31st).
PRIVACY CHANGES
After a small update, we are now able to provide members with additional privacy settings for their accounts! This update adds a new toggle within the settings area that allows you to lock access to your personal account features, meaning that other Public/logged-out visitors and other members will be unable to view them. This should hopefully work somewhat similarly to toyhouse's visibility feature.
The list of lockable features is as follows:
- User Bank Currency + User Inventory
- Submission Logs + All other logs that could previously be found under the "History" Tab.
- MYO Inventory (as a result of this change the MYO masterlist page is also now going to be hidden for all users by default.)
The privacy setting is set to "on" by default, but if you wish to keep this setting turned off, then you can go into the settings area to toggle it off. At current, all lockable features are tied to the same privacy toggle so turning privacy on or off will affect all of the listed features at once.
Advertisement & Privacy Settings: Due to this new setting change, if you intend to advertise items for trade we recommend you either provide a screenshot as proof for users who may be interested in trading with you, or turn off the privacy setting temporarily while doing so.
-----
Upgrades and Additions
- For users within the Gremcorps Discord Server, the #rules channel has been given a visual upgrade for ease of reading. Some rules were also given better clarification as to avoid loopholing.
- A new Grem2 Guide has been added to the site. This guide has been set up to be more of a tutorial guide to help aid newcomers in their Grem2 creation. This guide and other guides are still considered WIPs, therefore they will be given small updates over time.
----
Changes to come
- For the Gremcorps discord server, the grem advertisements channel will be changing to be more generalized in the future. Channel rule modifications to accomodate these new changes are underway and will be made in the next week or two.
- A note from MrGremble: It's been a long time coming, but I'm firmly going to make the decision to up the group age from 13+ to a 16+ rating. When this change will officially take place is currently TBA. I will be going more in-depth on this change later-on while I work to modify the rules and TOS to match with the new age range changes. This has been a decision I've wanted to make for a very long time but have been too terrified to honestly do given the size of the group, but in order to be able to tell the story of my species more accurately, I feel that it is a necessary change.
What will become of the younger demographic will be given in higher detail once I've made the official shift in another news post.

Snappy's Corner 🎃
Not an update but curiosity! ❄
Den has been concocting Gremcorps website themes once again (as what was offered during Halloween that we collaborated on) and was curious if anyone would like to participate in creating an art banner? The banner space of what she's working on is currently empty, vacant, and would look super lovely with one of your art pieces if it fits dimensions and theme.
All that would be required is the following:
◻Required Dimensions: 1276 x 200 pixels [width x height]
Example
◻Required Theme: Grems in Winter (Day or night; festive is accepted)
◻Your respected consent to display it on the Gremcorps site
◻Watermark credit in the bottom corner
Rules & Instructions:
◻ Art is in a day or night setting (indoors and outdoors is fine)
◻Collabs are accepted
◻ Artwork made in the past or present if it fits within the dimensions
Reward: Grem2 MYO slot + 1 Mutation Ticket
Submission form: https://forms.gle/FZBvjRg17Byrj7UZ7
We of course don't want to pressure anyone to give their artwork, but instead are curious if anyone would like to help out and like to display within the new seasonal theme. Thanks! 💙

🍂
A reminder that our Halloween event is slowly coming to a close! What will you be seeing from here on after the deadline comes up?
◻ All prompt and raffle entries will be closed on November 30th 11:59 EDT, at this point we will be working through all entries that have not been evaluated, this will be given a grace period of 2 to 3 days (or more depending on the entry).
◻ Frisk's Halloween shop & Completion Reward claims will stay open until December 8th 11PM EDT, be sure to buy what you can before the end of the deadline.
◻ Raffles will be rolled once the event has closed and we have gone through all of the submissions, we will announce all of the winners in another update.
🔸 For our FTO raffle, entrants will be rolled, but we will be checking to see if that user has owned a grem, if that's the case then we will reroll until an FTO entrant is rightfully chosen.
Redesign Guide Update
◻ Our Grem Redesign Guide has been updated to better reflect our rules and requirements pertaining to design updates.
◻ We have also officially provided users the ability to change both value and colour in a full colour change redesign, please read our guide for more information.
Guide Link: https://gremcorpsarpg.com/info/redesign
Mod Application Update
◻ We are heavily considering reopening Moderation Applicatiosn, however there is no ETA for when applications will be open, this will give myself and my team to make adjustments to our rules and regulations. More about mod application will come at a later time.
What's next?
Currently the holidays are taking up a significant amount of time and energy for the team (work and family is priority!), we will be taking a small break and go back to working on background tasks to rest and recover!
I (Mrgremble) will also be taking it easy to recuperate and hole away for a bit, at this moment I have nothing planned besides working on world building and mod application set up. I will have things to show over time but for now rest is sorely needed!
What I can say is that new seasonal traits are in the works (no ETA release available), they are in hard WIP concept phase, but there is full intention to have seasonal traits for every season. My main hurdle is trying to find a happy medium for events on both sides to avoid burn out and fatigue, this means gaining new staff (which I will focus on over the month) and streamlining the event process for the long term, we will have to see!
Incase this question comes up, we currently have no intention in putting out a winter event, though there maybe a free raffle for the Christmas season.
