Hello, Sprouts!

Today’s update is short and focused on our current status. We're still catching up from earlier delays this year.


Scheduel
The programmer is still focused on a significant overhaul of the relationship system. Meanwhile, the admin team is currently working on updating the new user experience by completing a large chunk of the guide section of the site. Which is the following guides:

Character Customization Guides 

Guide 1 - Gene Fruit Guide
Guide 2 - Design Guide
Guide 3 - Glow Fruit Guide
Guide 4 - Mutations and "Free Color" Guide
Guide 5 - Free Edits Guide
Guide 6 - Form, Splicing and Shapeshifting Guide

Creation Guides
Guide A - Griffolk CYO
Guide B - Companions open species
Guide C - Mascots
Guide D - Griffolk Love item
Guide E - Companion Love Item

This is a large project that will feature Quest as the sample NPC and multiple examples for each topic covered in the guides. Here is an example of our assets for wing mutation.




We plan to finish this by the end of the month, and we will be swamped until then. We know this might not be the most exciting content, but it has been largely requested in feedback. These updates are essential; we’re confident they’ll improve everyone's user experience.


Users should know we will skip creating Tutorial 5: How to Upload Art for Activities and the Play Tutorials until later this year.

Once the guides are complete, we’ll revisit our internal schedule and share the next steps with everyone.


Summer Break - July 1st - 13th
We are taking a two-week break during Art Fight for the first two weeks of July. Automatic games will stay open, but manual approvals will be down.

Week 1: All approvals will be closed except Love Items, but they won't be approved
Week 2: Soft reopen, the Weekly Prompt will reopen with double rewards.
Week 3: Back to standard schedule, and all approvals will be processed.

If you have any questions, please use the Q&A.



Activity Reuse Symbols - Live

Due to feedback, we have updated our list of symbols to indicate more clearly how art can be reused in the game. We also added a visual example to the activities hub: https://www.kingdomsofgriffia.com/activities.

Now, if an Activity title has a symbol next to it, the artwork can also be submitted to those marked Activities, as long as it follows their specific rules.

Old Logic
Symbols
✎ = Visual Art Required.

◎ = Costs Gold Coins.
⟲² = Can use art used in another activity once.
⟲³ = Can use the same art from the weekly prompt in:
          x1 Trial, x1 Token (And x1 Event Game if tasks match)

New Logic
✎ = Visual Art Required.
◎ = Costs Gold Coins.

Symbols for Activities.
★ =  Event Activity or Ticket.
✤ = Tokens.
⟰ = Trials or  Class.
🞕 = Weekly Prompt.

 

Example: x1 artwork can be used up to x4 times, if it follows the rules for all submitted activities. The Weekly Prompt, for instance, shows symbols for Events/Tickets, Tokens, and Trials/Classes, so art created for the Weekly Prompt can be submitted once to each.

Important Note: Trials and classes share the same symbol, which means that they fall under the same activity. That means that art for a Trial cannot be reused for a Class.

Changes

- We have allowed tickets to be transferred between user inventories and character inventories, and enabled it so users can shop as characters in the ticket booth.

- Rule 6.1 has been updated to state that blessed forms are not usable specifically for official activities.

- Naga has been added as a perk to all Casters. We made this change because the mutation is needed to unlock certain statuses, but Naga technically doesn't add any noticeable changes to the Caster. We do not want users to waste items, so Naga has now been applied to all Casters to ensure fairness.

This disclaimer has been added to the Caster's Griffolk page:
"Important: All Casters have been granted the Naga mutation, as unlocking it provided no additional benefits. Note that this mutation will not appear in the automatic mutation list for their subtypes."

Guiding you to better days.
