Hello, everyone! We have pushed a few new changes to custom wearables tonight that we think you all will enjoy.
• You can now release batches in multiples of 5 rather than 10! The first page of CW submission is nearly identical, but you are now selecting the number of items rather than the number of batches. To ensure we can accommodate both pre-existing as well as new CWs, everything will still be in multiples of 10. However, on the second page you will be able to slot as few as 5 users. If you are submitting additional batches of an already-accepted item, you will notice that the batches will only let you fill five, but the same number of items still exists—you would just have to do two batches to fill 10 additional items.
Please make sure you note this when you are listing how many CWs total an item will have! Saying it is "Two batches total" will now be for 10 items, rather than 20. This is for any new items being released -- you do not need to go back and change already-released CWs or CWs that are currently in the queue at the time of this news posting.
• Do you submit a lot of recolors? If so, be sure to check out the new Recolor Management page! From here, you can mark which of your items have recolors for easier management. When you submit a recolor of an item, there is now a spot on the custom wearable submission form to select which item it is a recolor of -- this will also be flagged for me in the queue!
Already-accepted items that are now being flagged as recolors will need a quick approval once you enable recolors on them. For this, the items do not need to match, but the overlays need to be identical OTHER than their colors. Actual physical differences will still be considered separate items.
• Various CW pages are now cleaned up around the site, which will be especially useful for those of you that submit a lot of items! By popular demand, custom wearable shops will no longer show items that have maxed out their sales. Even better, items that are 100% "sold out" (for example, an item that was one batch only) will no longer show on your CW management page!
We're very excited to push these changes and to get started on more!
- No! As it says in the news post, you can still go off the fact that batches used to be 10 items instead of 5 for any previously-released items. If your recolors would have originally had 2 batches/20 items each, they now have 4 batches/20 items each. You don't need to now limit yourself to 10.
