NEWS

Hello, Sprouts!

 

Masterlist Porting Requirement - Live

We are now officially requiring complete porting to use Masterlist image approvals/submissions. Rule 7.6a has been updated to include the change. 

"Characters must be ported before their Masterlist images can be exchanged."


Porting Update - Live

We have also improved the porting process with contributions from member @LunarNorthStar.

New Porting Journal - the old one will be caught up today and has been closed for new submission.

 

Events

Due to specific changes coming, we decided to share the plans for the remaining events for this year in advance.

Events Schedule for 2024:

   Dragon Migration - September -  Ekko Form

   Hollowbean Festival - October - Vomsetti form and Mascot Theme Changes (mini-lore event)

   Companion Riot - November (mini-lore event)

   Time Gala - December

 

Changes to Event Numbering
Event activity numbering has been revised from #1, #2, #3, etc., per event to list numbers based on the order of activities on site. For example, the first event now has games renamed E001-E005, and the next event will have E006-etc.

Love Item Approval Changes - Coming
We will simplify the love approval process soon (in the coming months). We've heard your feedback about the love vouchers and Love Items. When the change is live, users will no longer need to redeem love items; they can simply use love vouchers to create Griffolk characters, similar to how the Love Petal works for Companions. For example, the Mythical Love bean costs three love vouchers. So, if you have three vouchers, you can use them to create your Mythical without needing the love bean from the market.

Love items will still be available for purchase in the game as collectibles or as a means of storing your Love Vouchers collection as a different item. However, they will no longer be used for character creation; vouchers will be required instead until we have a system in the future that can allow more than one item to be used if we decide to do that.
