APRIL Rollover

Happy April! As always, before we dive into what’s in store for this month, make sure to check out the March winners in our Winner’s Showcase!

 

"IT'S ARBRIL!" The First Light of Spring event is here!

In celebration of spring, arborlings are the centerpiece for a new event type ... Plot Events! Register with an Arborling (that has completed their Sproutings memory) and proceed to complete up to 5 prompts that take your Arborling on an exciting journey to develop their character! Some prompts you will encounter will be static, and some are randomized! Each arborling will face its own unique adventure…  How will your journey go?

 

By completing each prompt, you will earn a Golden Pupa! These pupas act as random gift bags, and will be redeemable at the end of the month! Each bag will be chock full of goodies, including some premium seeds, mutations and even new morphs for Catterfly mounts! 

 

In addition to the Golden Pupas gained from completing the event prompts, you can now find Shimmering Pupas as a limited edition prize for the following activity list. Shimmering Pupas will contain lower rarity prizes than the Golden Pupas, but are valuable nonetheless! This way everyone gets to join in on the fun, even with minimal participation!

KINDNESS COUNTS: COVID Response

 

Due to the current state of the world and the on-going global pandemic, we recognize that going out and being proactive about environmental issues is not feasible. As such, we've swapped out several prompts for ones that you can complete more easily from home. These prompts are focused on community, and the importance of social distancing. Included in this month’s set of prompts is a “freebie” prompt, asking you to journal a day of staying at home. 

 

Additionally, if you are an essential worker (such as medical personnel, food worker, delivery driver, etc,) you can earn points by simply taking a picture of your work uniform or badge (with identifying information censored out) as a token of our thanks! We know it’s not easy exposing yourself to the virus, but we appreciate the work you’re doing for your community!

 

SLOWIN' ON DOWN

 

A couple members have sent in concerns about response times being slow. A lot of us are still working or struggling with unforeseen difficulties brought about by the current pandemic. The Strudel Cafe prides itself in maintaining operations without hiatus for over two years, and we will continue keeping on. However, I will be temporarily extending the approval turnaround to 5 days until things even out again. We understand that a lot of our members are stuck at home during this time, and hope our events can provide you entertainment in the meantime! However, I also ask for a little patience for our staff while we take a bit of a breather! This isn’t to say that things might not get approved faster, but I am allotting all of the mods a couple days to work with their schedules! Thanks for your understanding.

Concerning Gacha Eggs

Gacha Eggs and Pet MYO Slots have been merged into a singular item: Companion Eggs

While individualized custom pets were more managable a couple of years ago when they were introduced, they are no longer feasible given the size we have grown to. The new Companion Eggs will allow you to submit an MYO design via the Menagerie or you can simply keep them as a pet in their egg form if desired!

For the time being these are obtainable as an option in the ARPG: Make a Wish Memory but we plan to distribute them via additional methods in the near future as well!

Spring Is Here!

The snow has melted and warm weather has begun to spread across Midveil as well as the tiny blossoms of new flowers. The orchards have been cleared and there are even a couple of new crops to be planted!

New ARPG Memory Submission Process
ARPG submissions are now more streamlined! They are done directly from the ARPG memory page and require the upload of art (or entry of literature) as well as a specific Midveiler or NPC selected to link the memory to.

As always, with new site features remember to report any bugs either via the #site-bugs Discord channel or if you do not use Discord, you may message Jenbeary to report them!
