Hey, Sprouts!

 

We're squeezing in one last quick devlog before heading off on break from February 1st to March 1st. Our response time to Questions and Tickets will be slower than usual, but we'll still be checking in and keeping an eye on things.

Rules Updated - Live
We've been working to update all the rules by removing outdated information, refining existing sections, and adding extra context where needed. Our goal is to make the rules clearer and more helpful than ever, and to ensure users always have a reliable place to go. See the Dev Log portion of this update for more details.

Fixed Links - Live
We've gone through the entire site and repaired all the links. Nothing should be broken. If users encounter broken links, open a ticket at the Help Desk under Broken Links.

Early Release of the Golden Voyage Prompt - Live
The game has been published ahead of schedule, so users can explore it during the break. Submissions are currently closed and will not open until March 1st, but the Prompt is available to view for anyone who wants to begin early.

Prompt Archive - Live
Most of the Prompt Archive is now live, with Prompts dating back to 2016. Some years are missing direct approval links because they were only updated in DeviantART journals and not saved individually at the time. Tracking these down means digging through thousands of old messages, so it's something we'll continue working on when time allows. If you've saved or bookmarked your entries for any of these Prompts, we can easily add them, and we'd be very grateful for the help! If you would like to share this information with us, open a ticket at the Help Desk under Other.
