September newsletter: Bughunt!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by DocBUGY TIME
Hi howdy! Welcome to the (p)relaunch party! Not quite relaunch ready yet, but we can still have some fun, right?
✦ BUG HUNT ✦
A certain genre of small critter is giving its last great stand before the cold months come in! And they're, uh... everywhere. Maybe your poffin could lend a hand?
There are two parts to this event!
The first is a standard monthly prompt-style part - draw or write your poffin looking for bugs! Are they searching the forests high and low for grubs, or do they have something a little more... extraterrestrial in mind? If you're not a fan of the concept of bugs in general, you're free to just create something involving your poffin enjoying nature!
While the prompt has a flat reward for meeting the minimum requirements, you can now also submit to the on-site gallery to get effort-based rewards, too!
Find the prompt here, which includes the minimum requirements and rewards!
Due to the open nature of a prelaunch state, this prompt does not have a set end date - it will run until the staff team feels like we're ready to officially launch!
The second is a user-interactive part!
The staff team are self proclaimed experts at finding out how to break things, but they can only do so much - so you can help, too! If you encounter a bug, file an on-site report with information on how to replicate it! Though, for severe bugs, it'd probably be preferred to poke Zin in the Discord.
There's also some more idle ways to participate, like foraging!
By participating, you can get critter containers to go and catch some lil guys! These act as collectable pets who may be helpful for the future 👀
If you don't have a Poffin, you're more than welcome to use our NPCs in artwork!
✦ BUG BASKET ADOPTS ✦
Assets and other cool website things are... sometimes expensive! So, to get some extra wriggle room with this, there's a set of three designs for sale, with the profits going towards shiny new things for the website!
ROSEY MAPLE PRINCE (C) ✦ DECORA RAINBOW STAG (SP) ✦ SWEET LITTLE BUMBLEBEE (C)
The Common (C) adopts will be up for flatsale of $25, while the Special (SP) adopt will be on auction, with a $35 SB!
View the sale and claim here
Sale opens at 5pm MST, September 11, 2023
While these particular adopts are for money as a means of fundraising, you can expect adopts for onsite currency and misc OTA in the future for those who want other options! As well as a few free raffles 👀
✦ THANK YOU! ✦
Thank you dearly, from myself and the rest of the Poffins team - for the support and patience! We're excited to bring new things for the future, and to share them with everyone! Stay tuned for more features as we work on them, and join the Discord if you'd like more 'live' updates!
