Will we ever see a replenishment of godly boxes? If so, are there plans to consider releasing them in a different way than requiring a user to spend 9bil sPs on a box? IE, a one-time-claim godly box in the battle shop for....I dunno, 1000 Impossible tokens? Or next time there's a battle event like the Gelatin War, that there's a tough achievement that awards a godly box? I feel like godly boxes, and the lesser fanciful box, are better earned through actual battling than a sPs sink.

hi keith! thanks for all the work, subeta has really made some great progress this year with kumos :)

When do you think we will see a new full pet species? A new color? Are there any scrapped pet ideas or colors you're able to share?

I was super bummed that we didnt get a full blown Sweety-dead color, the experiment is so cute but man I would love a full blown color

(okay so that's a few questions in one post, but still!!)

also this "live" thread is cool!

Hi Kieth, hope your doing good, have a question... do you plan working or improving another parts of subeta, like the garden, the cripts, fantine bakery or other places that a lot of users dont tend to use or visit that much?

Are these live chats totally ephemeral, or is there some interconvertibility with forum threads?

How do you find the time to do your day job and then also work on Kumos? I feel tired just looking at it all.

Oh this is a cool feature! One thing I've been wondering is about pet colour revamps and releases - it makes sense that it's slowed down a bit, but just wondering about the current staff capacity for that. Are there any species without artists? Are any particular revamps or releases planned?

wondered how long it'd be before the tea shop came up ;p

🤞 we get something there, and actually soon. i've been posting over on bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/subeta.dev - some of the work that i've been doing lately before i shifted over to mysterious melody.

i'm working on a really big system called "plays", that are a series of scenes. a scene could be choosing between three options, having a dialog with a NPC, buying items from a shop that only exists in that play (with a separated inventory), playing a mini game, etc.

The reason I'm building this, is the major reason we don't have plots anymore is because it's a massive lift, program wise, to do it from scratch every time. and thats' what we do.

Awesome! 1. when are we going to see the original subeta site evaporate for the kumos site to become the main method of using subeta? like, when will kumos be the standard? 2. when is melody going to start using our generosity points? sometime this year, or next year if at all? thanks, Keith!

another question that's come to mind - achievements for non-battlers. i've got almost all of the collectible achievements (food, plushies, beanbags, and so on) and there's only been three new chievos released in the last year, i'm pretty sure. two of those are kumos cookie ones lol.

are there plans to create new themed achievements? like, feeding a pet all the bacon foods, having all the wearable books in our wardrobe, collecting all the beanbags from the Zombie Den for 2025, etc..

Hello! I wanted to know if there is any plans to release more lifelike dolls of species and colors we don't have available?

(sorry wanted to get that out to be clear that i'm still here and reading, just writing a big response!)

So: i'm working on this large system that lets us pull together things that would have typically been in a complex plot, add narrative and NPC interactions, and then let the team (and potentially get some other folks involved, i've heard there are people wanting to volunteer ;)) go wild.

we're going to use this to first replace the ice fields and krypts, and then go from there. i'm very excited!

Good. The ice fields is horrible. When the game ends you have to refresh the page or leave and re enter in order to get the "make alert" button to come up and this may not seem like a huge issue but if you're playing the game 20+ times a day it's exhausting

, worked now!

That actually explains a lot about the lack of plots as of late. Sounds amazing! Keep up the good work! ( ◠‿◠ )

We're working on a new pet color, the mechanics of getting it we're working out now (which might be related to that screenshot ;)). I can't say much more than that!

You should join again, maybe? it sounds like maybe you got reset (it resets at midnight) and went back to the page after your group had been reset.

I don't have an answer for you! i'm hoping 2025 is the year where i can really become knowledgabe about battle and how the entire system continues to work today, and come up with a real answer for myself on where i see it going before i can answer on things like what to do about godly boxes.

This is a real thread. If you look at it on the regular site it'll render like a totally normal thread, and when I switch off "live mode" it'll turn this into a regular forum view.

Thought of another question, with all the item improvements we saw with composting and also mentions of more dynamic item pricing, are there any other improvements in the works for items? I know people have been wanting holiday shop items to have what year they are from show, especially when searching shops, could that be a possibility?

God, I've been here on and off for 18 years, so this may be a strange question. But the success of things like Love Nikki has me wondering, any long term plans for the site/setting? Any far off dreams you'd like to see, an RPG, MMO, that kind of thing.

ooooh yay new pet color! exciting!!!!!!
