GENERAL UPDATES: JULY

<3 <3 <3

HELLO PALS

[ amber's half of the update ]

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 The information won't be out of date, it'll encourage new users to get into battling, and more!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!!

HI HI, YOU'RE LOOKIN' FLY

[ bug's half of the update ]

Pet Spotlight: Denials Log
Pet people rejoice! Pet spotlight denial reasons are logged as of July 2 and can be viewed on this page. No more having to carefully keep the sidebar notification around, or worrying about accidentally deleting it. Denial reasons will be kept around for 6 months, after which time they will be automatically cleared.

There's also a navigation bar on top of the Pet Spotlight pages now, to help you find each spotlight-related page.

Wishlist Improvements
Private wishlist categories now have a visually distinct darker background when you are viewing your wishlist's home page, making it easier to check that the correct categories are private. There's also a little "PRIVATE" badge to make it extra clear what the background color means.

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.

Games High Score Table Updates
We've renewed our efforts to finally move all our games to the new high scores system! The (new) High Scores page has gotten a mini-revamp, and a new Scores page has been added for viewing a specific user's scores (this is the page you got to from the Scores link on a user profile). The new page pulls data from the new system.

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:

  • Subeku

The following games were already on the new high scores system, and have finally been completely removed off of the old system:

  • Matlal's Jewels
  • Cybill Sledding
  • Random
  • Net Gain
  • Spectrail
  • Thimblerig
  • Pirate Panic, Pirate Panic (Cumulative)
  • Gravedigger, Gravedigger (Cumulative)
  • Pete Says, Pete Says (Cumulative)
  • Burrero Basket Bonanza
  • Beanbag, Plushie, Trading Card, Pastry, Tile, and Pumpkin Collections

The following games will now give out a daily prize to the top high scores each month:

  • Gravedigger
  • Pete Says
  • Pirate Panic
  • Thimblerig
  • Subeku

Noteworthy QoL Improvements
β˜• You can now search the Books Read and Foods Eaten page for any pet. β˜• When Account Search finds an item in your vault, it will also show which vault category the item is in (if it's in one) β˜• Your CW Denial History now shows your Submission Notes for each submission. (It's under a spoiler since some of these can be quite large.) β˜• When you train a pet at the Training Center, there are now two "Back to Training Center" links. The second link will NOT scroll you back to your place on the webpage. If you're CSS-saavy, both links have CSS IDs so you can hide the one you don't want to use. β˜• When liking things like comments and avatars, you can now click the heart a second time to un-like it.

Noteworthy Bugfixes
🐝 The "Remove One" via Account Search feature is now back for both shops and galleries, hooray! 🐝 Stargazer is back! Let's hope it continues to work smoothly for a long long time! 🐝 Direct links to very old forum posts (like, older than our current forum system) will now link to the post correctly! 🐝 The Gamer! Achievement has been fixed. To update your count, go to the Games category of your Achievements page. The achievement should trigger on the next page you visit.

I'm a simple person. I see a Site Update ping, I ❀️ the post.

I see so many nice things and I'm now feeling curious about the anniversary! 15 is a nice number! The summer weather, radio silence and jelly war had me feeling tired and unmotivated, tbh. :'D I really miss these updates being weekly, they lift the mood when they get posted. Glad to see a lot of stuff is still being worked on, but feeling out of the loop kinda sucks, ngl.

THE GAMES ROOM IS GETTING SOME TLC THO! Can we expect Spectrail & Tubular Tiles back once the highscore system and the payouts have been sorted out?

You mentioned something about holidays as part of the AnniCelebration, would this mean reintroducing items tied to certain holidays?

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. ;)

For the training center: I like the different options for returning to main page. I do wish there was more padding between the options. It can be hard to hit the one you want on a phone.

Thanks for the updates, these are wonderful!

On the topic of game payouts, are there any other data collection projects you’re working on ? Data collection is kinda my passion/career so if there are any other places around the site you need data on I’d love to help! (eg last year I collected 1k trials on the mallarchy pond over the course of a couple weeks to track its payout LOL)

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
