News Archive: Week 9, 2021

Elsie collapses to the ground as whatever force had a hold of her releases its grip. Elsie looks from the rolling pin in her hands to you with horror in her eyes. She quickly tosses the weapon away and hugs her knees to her chest.

You aren’t sure what to do at this point except offer some comfort. At the very least, she doesn’t seem to be injured. At least, not anymore than normal for an Unliving.

Remembering something, Elsie leaps up and takes you by the hand, leading you to the entrance of her bakery. She starts grimacing and motioning urgently towards it. At that moment, a loud clanging rings out from somewhere in the thick oven smoke and a Possessed Cookie Spatula lands at your feet.

We are looking for volunteers to help tackle one of our most-requested projects: making a hair layer for the wardrobe! That's right: at long last, hair will be getting its own layer, and we're inviting the community to help make it happen!

The new hair layer has already been set up and added to the site, and the custom wearable submission page has already been updated to put all newly-submitted wigs in the right layer. As a volunteer, you will be helping us sort items from the Head layer into the Hair layer. We will provide a special tool that makes it as fast and easy as possible. While volunteers will do this individually, we will have everyone in a private channel in the Subeta Discord Server to collaborate. (Interested in the Subeta Discord? Find it here!)

The requirements for this position are:

• You must be able to work in a group setting with 15-20 other volunteers and Subeta staff members and
• You must have (or be willing to use) Discord and be a member of the official Subeta Discord server so we can invite you into a private work channel

This is a volunteer-only position, so you will not be compensated. (However, little thank-you gifts might find their way to your account every now and then... ;) )

If you are interested, please fill out this short application! The application form will be open until Sunday, March 7th. You will then be contacted by Staff within the week if you are chosen for this project. Thank you for your interest and continued support of Subeta!

Who knew Maleria was such a plant mom?

We've found some of the bugs plaguing our survival code and resolved them, finally! Any infection you have from this point forward should correctly unlock in your wardrobe when it hits the final stage. Also, any lag in the forums or wardrobe should be fully resolved.

If you've made it to the final stage of an infection already and don't have it, worry not! On the final day of Survival we will allow every user to select one infection from this year that they did not unlock, and unlock it for free. This prevents us from manually replacing the skins, and should hopefully just be a faster process overall, considering the sheer number of people.

As a thank you, we're sending out 250 cash shop credits to everyone who has participated so far in Survival. We'll also be extending Survival by one full day. Thank you 💖!

Oh, hi there! I’m glad I caught you. Joyce told me all about the situation with her father last month and how you were able to snap him out of his... weird fugue. Well, I think whatever happened to him may be affecting Elsie. She hasn’t wanted to see me - or anyone, really - for a while now. Her shop was all closed up, but there’s terrible heat and smells coming from it, like she’s baking up a storm.

Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe she just needs some space. It IS a busy time of the year, what with Survival and everything. Would you mind heading over to her shop in the Underground to check on her?

Hello, hello! Gunner is back and ready for you to volunteer to become one with zombie kind. Like last year, he’s worked hard to get various Subeta businesses to sponsor, so you might just notice a theme.

Time between stages is down by hours this year! We know that's been a big complaint in past years, so enjoy. This year, you will have less stages to go through before unlocking too. <3

Celebrate your love, maybe at a distance, with these new items from L’amour Parlor.

You can purchase those lovely items from Louis by using candy hearts you receive by kissing on the forums. Use the following code in your status or on the forums.

Skitters has prepared some truly underground classics for those that aren’t a fan of the lovey dovey items Louis offers.

Don’t forget to pay your respects at the Survivor Memorial. Keep an eye out for these flowers, as they’ll either restock at Seedlings or float around the site!

You can also frag the flowers you find floating!

We will do our best to get a FAQ thread up in the next 24 hours!

Survival will end on March 10. The Survival forums will close on March 15, so everyone has time to end any contests they might run for hearts.

Get your lips ready for kissin (maybe wear a mask) because Survival starts tomorrow. As some of you have seen, items for both shops have been added already and we’ve closed the shops until the holiday starts. If you’re going to discuss said items, try to keep specific comments in spoiler tags until the holiday starts. <3
