A status post with a link to the stream will be posted when it begins!
We'll be working on wishes from the Wishing Well thread.
Hope to see you there!

WINTER EVENT PROGRESS
Our current progress on the upcoming winter event is the following: 
Art Assets: 70%
Writing: 45%
Coding: 100%

We'll be announcing a start date some time this month when we're ready! In the meantime some info - this event will create a new seasonal town that will be expanded each year with new activities and rewards. It's planned to be the first of one area for each season that will be available along with new events featuring deities and permanent storyline additions.

STAFF HIRING PLANS
We're in the process of preparing materials and updating our system to be ready to bring new staff on board. We're aiming to post a recruitment announcement later this month or early next month.

KELBI SEASONAL PLANS
Kelbi's season is originally this month, however since the Winter event is planned for this month, we're working on still releasing it this spring some time after the Winter event is over. Currently, we're working on the storyline with our writers and will keep you posted on progress for it! We have 4 deities left to release stories for, and we're looking to achieve this by the end of the year with Vaer's month if all goes well.

CUSTOM QUEUE STATUS
Due to various IRL obstacles last month, we had to push the current batch of custom releases to this month. We're on the way to completing and claiming the next batch before mid month. Thanks for your patience as we worked through priorities!

NEXT PRIORITIES ON THE ROADMAP
Once the winter event and staff recruitment are complete, we're planning to focus on the following as our main priorities:
Pet Accessory Market
Customs Market
Tradesmarket Upgrades
Kelbi Event/Storyline
Aviar Cove Balancing

    wait not only do you need 5 bonus spins for the monthly pet, but then another 2 during the season for the seasonal pet?? are there going to be more 500k pets every month? 100% not tenable.
  • Villager II_Zetsubou_II (#29611) 2 Mar 2023, 7:03 pm
    Uh…it says 3 Spring Seed + 1 Spring Soil + a Mixer Potion but my recipes telling me 4 Spring Seed + 1 Spring soil?
  • Villager pancakewithabs (#50755) 2 Mar 2023, 8:02 pm
    500kp for a pet that's only available for one month is absolutely ridiculous.
  • Villager Saiko (#68969) 3 Mar 2023, 10:14 am
    definitely gonna echo how ridiculous it is that oran's pet requires 5 imtems that are only in his bonus pool. i was already miffed at how often we've been getting new monthly pets, and the was before i realized that oran's pet requires alchemizing. it really needs to be either the actual hatching item that's exclusive to the bonus pool, OR the five alchemy components need to be in the actual chance shop pool as well. i am beyond disappointed at how the monthly sets are going :(
  • Villager blithely (#42853) 3 Mar 2023, 12:48 pm
    Just a notice to everyone in the comments making the same points about the monthly set (the 500kp price): you don't have to stay. This *can* be the thing that pushes you to cut your losses and leave. Find something more productive to do with your time-- draw something, write something, take a walk. Don't feel pressured to stick around! You can always come back later, if you think any accumulated changes are worth sticking around for.

    this theme is so cute omg.....
  • Villager rooty (#9947) 4 Mar 2023, 6:36 am
    I got merely 400k saved up and I was saving them up to buy past limited items.

    500k for the pet?? Why....?
  • Villager Amelia (#12) 5 Mar 2023, 6:48 pm
    ..yikes :S
  • Moderator Morphine (#35897) 6 Mar 2023, 4:26 pm
    Honestly if next months Oran hatchable also costs 500k I'm out, that's where I'm drawing the line.
    I've been buying at minimum 1 full Pai & Oran set every month since I joined. I can handle $50 and 90k potatoes a month, but 500k every month is unsustainable for even the dedicated daily players.

    If this is a new precedent, rather than a rarity or an instance of poor judgement, then I just can't justify trying to keep up with this game's releases anymore.
  • Villager explosion (#59350) 6 Mar 2023, 11:41 pm
    fyi the spring fruit recipe in this post is incorrect, and also none of the new pets have been added to the pet diary.
  • Villager lattes (#64605) 7 Mar 2023, 9:56 am
    tbh i wish a festival would just be skipped. i think most ppl would be ok with missing a festival, it getting just completely thrown out for a year, just to catch up. i'd happily miss a winter festival or spring festival or something (or even just have the items thrown into a random shop for a bit, cuz that's the main draw lol) to avoid something like seeing the 2023 winter festival in april of 2024, and etc.

    also i got the calf because it was cute and i'm a freak for cows, and don't play enough to need a ton of potatoes on me, but i agree that the pricing was ridiculous as well, and even with the fix it's too late, i've already dumped potatoes in.
  • Villager Roxy_Lalonde (#34545) 8 Mar 2023, 6:29 am
    Can we please never do this "spend 450kp in Oran pet for Oran's pet" thingy again, it's horrible. I understand the website has inflation and using Oran as money sink seemed like a good idea, but it hits hard players that are poor/below average wealth to throw away such amounts of hard earned savings. I'm staying afloat solely thanks to my savings from another pet website to trade for dv taters, but I can't keep it like this for long... ;w;
  • Villager Alice1999 (#28293) 8 Mar 2023, 12:57 pm
    anyone else having the issue where they can't use multiples of the same item for the fine goods trade in?... I have 7 of each of the skins but can't select to offer multiple for the trade in its really frustrating
  • Villager Tealwing (#21495) 8 Mar 2023, 4:42 pm
    The Spring Fruit receipe is incorrect, its Soil + 4 seeds.
  • Villager Lycramosa (#70201) 9 Mar 2023, 7:41 am
    I would like to be able to give Oran multiple of the same item to trade in at the same time. I have 4 of the Intrigue eyes and stacks of the other items as well.
