Hello everyone!
It's been quite a busy few months for the team both for the site and with our real life responsibilities, making it rather difficult to be able to keep the community up to speed with what we've been doing behind the scenes. But we are finally at a good place to update you with a few new changes and additions to the site, the showcase of our newly updated Weregrems, a fun new event centered around weregrems that you can join, as well as what we will be providing the community in the later months.

✨Weregrem EVENT✨

[✨Herald of the Eclipse 2025 Event Page✨]

It has been a long time coming, but the Weregrem Event is finally live for the community to participate in! There are a lot of new things to check out and every person on the team has worked super hard on this one! We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do~

The ending date for this event is September 15th 11:59 EST

HOWEVER, We also plan for this event to be a repeatable one that will return every so often for both new and old users to replay. So if you are worried of missing out, don't fret! It will come around again! At this point in time we're thinking of rotating it back in bi-yearly, so every other year or so. Though if that changes we'll let you know!

Weregrem Affliction Revamp

Weregrem Guide

We are excited to announce that we have revamped Weregrems in anticipation for this event and their upcoming official release. This revamp offers a bunch of new Weregrem specific traits, a new guide on the affliction itself, and more!

Users who currently own any of the older, pre-finalized weregrems that may now be outdated/ do not follow the new current weregrem design rules have the ability to update those designs to fit the new rules at any time.

(⚠ keep in mind that if you do, you will also need to adhere to the new rules and restrictions as well, making the older design unable to be used or reverted back to in the future.)

PROMPT PAYOUT GUIDE REVAMP

Payout Guide

The payout guide has been freshly updated as well to provide tidier access to information on payouts, items, NPCs and more. We have also raised the payout amounts on several bonuses for both the illustrated and written sections to give you more gibs for the amount of work you put into a piece, alongside adding new bonuses in a few spots that offer you more ways to gain gibs, like the new shading bonus and the small additional writing/art bonuses! We also hope to add more bonuses and incentives in the future in order to offer more to those who make high effort works of art!

Trait Changes

• Skull Mask Trait has had a few new rules applied.
  • While Begemmed is allowed to come in almost any color, gradients must be kept simple (2-3 color hues max) , and markings should not be present when merged with the skull mask trait. The Begemmed surface can have a smooth or faceted texture.
  • When attached to the skull mask, Begemmed can be translucent but must show the skull residing inside the gem.
  • When mixed with Horned, Begemmed can be transparent like glass to show the inner bone or have no bone residing within the gem. This applies to the horn area only. The skull mask must still be visible within when encased in gems.
• Spider Eye trait has had their new rules applied. 
  • Each eye can vary in design (ex: different or lacking pupils, different sized irises, different sclera, etc) but must follow the blood rules if applicable and  must be closely relative in size to the original set of eyes.

Up next...

Our next plan of action, after a small break, is to tackle the main prompts section. Now that the Payout Guide has been updated, we have turned our attention towards prompts and have found this area to be a bit stale. We want to offer a little more variety and a few interesting new challenges, so with any luck this will be looked at and remedied hopefully in the next few months, but may still take some time as we work hard on creating new additions. 

We also hope to host another guest artist sale some time after the event. The date is not yet set in stone as there is a lot happening currently and we want to make sure the event is handled first, but we will be sure to give a heads up on when we plan to post the sale when we get closer to having everything set up and ready for it! We'll likely be reaching out to a handful of folks on our GA apps about participating sometime after the event ends! 

MISC. updates

Due to the amount of time it took to set up and complete everything for the Weregrem Event, the team is in need of a small rest, so things will likely slow down a bit in order for us to recover our energy while we let the event run and handle any smaller tasks that may crop up alongside the launch. The October Event will still go out as planned, but this year we likely will not be adding anything new to it so that we have the time to rest and focus our main attention towards updating prompts. After the Weregrem Event and October Event are finished, we will be taking a break for the quieter winter months. Sales and small raffles will be our main priority, but we want to give both the team and the users a chance to recouperate after both events. We'll use the quiet time during those months to focus on any other prompt updates and necessary side work that needs to be done. 

Lastly, we know the wait for this event has been a long one, and so we want to take a moment to deeply thank our community for their patience and their support whether you are just a quiet lurker in the community, or a more active one, whether you just play the game quietly or financially support us through things like sales and Patreon. Thank you so much for sticking with us all this time and allowing us the chance to create things like this for you guys to enjoy.

We hope that everyone who participates will enjoy the new updates and event content!

We've been working hard, so we're gonna go take a few long naps now, but we will see you all soon!✨
