Hi everyone!
I don't have a lot to show, but here's what I've been working on:
⭐ Listing out the payouts for EACH game across the site and how to improve these. and I are workin' on this, hopefully to roll out in the next month!
⭐ BATTLE GUIDES. I'm working with the battle community (a small group first, then opening it to the battle forums, then lastly on a thread like this) to make the battle guide (short, in-depth) better! The information won't be out of date, it'll encourage new users to get into battling, and more!
⭐ Planning for our 15th Anniversary in September! It's a ways away, but I want to make sure we feature things from everything (pets, battle, holidays, etc). No, we will not have floating bags. Don't ask, I will just reply with eye roll gifs!!
There's also a navigation bar on top of the Pet Spotlight pages now, to help you find each spotlight-related page.
Wishlist categories have a new "Bulk Edit" option that you can use to recategorize or delete a lot of items at once. To use it, check the checkbox under each item you want to edit, select your action from the dropdown at the bottom of the page, and click "Bulk Edit Wishlist". You can still edit your wishlist categories the regular way by using the dropdowns under each item and clicking the "Save Wishlist Changes" button instead.
As games are moved off of the old system, you will no longer receive the 10k sP daily prize from the old system. However, we've changed the new system to also give 10k sP (rather than the 5k sP it used to be).
Detailed information about the changes can be found in the spoiler:
High Score table changes and updates
The following games have been moved onto the new high scores system:
The following games were already on the new high scores system, and have finally been completely removed off of the old system:
The following games will now give out a daily prize to the top high scores each month:
Yep! You may have noticed during Vesnali and some other holidays this year so far, we didn't have them going out via quests. You might just see them pop up during the Anniversary celebrations. ;)
I feel, I miss it too. We love engaging with users and sharing our work and it's heartwarming to hear it meant so much to you too <3
Seriously and I were both touched to read this :')
Nope, sorry. Moving things to the new high scores system won't magically write the minigames' code for us, alas. However, I can assure you that those games have not been forgotten ;)
[edit] Okay that winky face was too vague. I was trying to say, they are being worked on. And I'm excited to work on bringing them back to you. I know how much people like these games <3

I mean mostly I'm just going through code for all the games to see what the options are for possibly prizes. I'll hit you up if I think of other projects, though! Always love getting the community involved. <3
We both agreed once a month is better for our schedules, especially with projects we're working on & holidays coming up! We love communicating with y'all, but for like our mental health we have to balance working on these QoL things + projects etc.
Here you go! You'll want one or the other depending on which one you want to hide. Thanks to for these codes.

I've asked about this recently and he says it will be possible to bring it back better than it was before, and he's been looking into it :)

High score prizes don't happen until after the 3rd day of the month, to give everyone a fair chance of getting on the high scores table.

Er, I'm not sure what to say. Sorry for the confusion! But it's worked this way for a long time.
I did just realized this information isn't stated anywhere clearly, and it should be, so I will look into adding this to the High Scores page to clear things up!

Thank you!
I figured out what was causing this, and a fix has been deployed! You should get prizes again starting tonight at 3 AM Subeta time. Please let me know if you still don't get them.

Honestly, I wouldn't be so opposed to something floating, but I'd rather bring new items out in other ways. Those goodie bags were filled with a ridiculous amount of items usually (even if it was sets of recolors) that honestly the manpower could've been used else where? There was a suggestion on a thread in suggestions & ideas about the anniversary of at least bringing back the old bags, and if they don't end up in the crystal shop they might float! We just won't have any new bags.
(I'm just replying to you since you're the last person to bring the bags up, and I realize I didn't actually explain why in the first post. We've mentioned plenty of times in the past that bags won't happen again, but it never hurts to explain why again.)
Yeah, I'm looking into how to bring those old items back. :) The problem with floating is that we have the bugs from bug catching also floating so they sort of compete? It's something I was hoping I could deal with before Vesnali with flowers/birds. :x
We have things for quests planned, battle, subetapedia, and some misc things. Old bags could go out via floating (ugh), crystal shop, or like through games or something. I'LL GIVE IT A PONDER. (If anyone has suggestions for our anniversary, ppost here)
