Just because they're tied to the wedding this year, doesn't mean we can't make this a yearly event. Esther and Emma practically work around lovely flowers every day -- they are just wedding things. I personally want to bring it back next year to have forum titles, etc.

(I already posted in the news comments that this will likely be a thing to happen again :))

i got u boo.

We knew that most people wouldn't be able to make every single bouquet, that's why the achievement is to only make one. This will be a feature that comes back, though. and I have discussed many different ways it could happen outside of Vesnali, even. Those talks discuss other ways of coming across the flowers (yo gardens becoming useful) etc. Just because you can't get them all right this second doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future. :)

(You will not get them by buying them straight out, though. We want you to work for them not just drop x sP on them.)

I don't think you guys saw my post that other things are going to be worked into this in the future, like outside of the one-week event here. Flowers can brighten up a lot of our events! And making use of gardens or something else to get flowers out outside of just floating. We went with quests for now, but that doesn't mean we won't donate some during the event. Again, just because you can't get them on the first day doesn't mean you won't be able to make them later.

True on the uncertainty factor, but also sometimes you gotta let things play out. I posted in the news that it'd most likely be coming back (because we haven't decided all the ways we'll be using this so I didn't say specifically how) because I realized people freaked out thinking they had five days and then never again.

And yeah, we made the bouquets different from our other "building" things because we wanted it to be a little different (just like Genentech/cooking/alchemy aren't exactly the same either).

( wait what things were promised and took ages, like at the very least this will be back next Vesnali but we're discussing other times too)

The donating was an after thought, because it's a user suggestion I've enjoyed and want to do. The other stuff are things I've been discussing with staff and have shared (which is gonna kill me) because I don't want you guys to think that we're never going to touch this again but also don't want to like ruin the surprise of when it'll pop up, outside of Vesnali.

And you'll understand why the garden thing wasn't released with it from the start when we get to the Wedding. :)

Ugh gravedigger. That was actually the worst. The issue with that wasn’t that we were forgetting about it, it was because when we moved servers we somehow lost all the coding for it. So grace had to do it from scratch when she had a lot of other projects. It was really a horrible situation, because Gemma and I were so pumped to have it back out for Morostide and then it ended up being way longer because of that. FUN FACT THO i know how to make levels now, so I can totally add some new maps in the future! I’m learning how to do games in JS and what not, so if grace doesn’t have the time for some of the other games we lost (or have but just need to do a bit more for), I might be able to knock those out this summer with some other stuff!

We’ll make it very obvious about it coming back around when we start the wedding post!

Flowers will still float during the Wedding! Esther’s shop will still be open and what not (I’m pretty sure we’ll have the honesty pot up as an NPC while they get married / go honeymoon).
