NEWS

Hello, Sprouts!

No intro today, only updates. Let's GO.

Time Loot Automated - Oct 1st

Automated time loot harvest is active and will be available for all users on October 1st. Time Loot will stay featured on Griffian's Masterlist until Time Plots is completed.

Users can now collect loot from Griffolk's Masterlist with a button click. We have updated the Time Loot page to reflect these changes and provided infographics to help users understand the new system.

Advancing a Stage: Costs 5x Time Waters or x1 Uber Time Water. This is the same as before.

Increasing Rewards: One fertilizer now fertilizes for all three Time Activities, even if the Griffolk does not have all three activities unlocked at present. When users harvest their monthly loot, it will require the expenditure of x1 Fertilizer. For maximum rewards, users are encouraged to reapply 1x fertilizers after harvesting loot so they get their total rewards each time. Loot Sidekick Changes Magic Familiars: Rewards for Magic Familiars will be automatically applied if the Griffian harvesting the loot has them unlocked. Chronopods: Need gifts can now be exchanged for crates in the Market>Aisle 2 - Supplies to reflect how Need Gifts worked before. Uber Fertilizer Changes - Soon

In 2024, we will discontinue the Uber Fertilizer as it is now too overpowered and compromises the system. All Uber Fertilizer will be liquidated into x4 Fertilizers instead of GC because it increases the value from 90 GC to 110 per Uber Fertilizer. The liquidation will occur on January 1st, 2024.

 

New Fert Game - Oct 1st

The game to earn fertilizer will be live on Oct 1st. This game has been designed to facilitate a seamless transition to this version of Time Loot. Magic Familiars will not be usable in this game, and participation will be limited to once a month. Please note that if this game is inactive, it will not be carried forward into 2024. Instead, we will increase fertilizer rates in the current loot tables.

 

Gene Fruit - Live

We recently adjusted Winning Flower, making obtaining Gene Fruit through winning more cost-effective than purchasing it through the Market. This change was implemented without the standard 30-day notice period due to the urgent need to replace a missing item in the loot table. We apologize for any inconvenience. Because of this, we are offering the opportunity for anyone who purchased Gene Fruit during September 2023 to Contact Us in General Support for a GC refund.

 

Yotun - Live

The Yotun (Demigod) backlog and all associated lore, assets, and pages are complete. While some Yotuns had lore previously, we have revised/updated all Yotun text to align with the most current canon information, considering our position in the timeline.

As we continue completing the God pages for Anima, Ludis, and Konatus, users should expect more connections between the Yotuns and Gods. Please note that, due to the incomplete state of the God's pages, some information currently found on the Yotun pages may be relocated to the God pages in later updates.

 

Dev Projects - Live

We reviewed our Dev Projects and have decided to "remove" projects that aren't considered backlog from the list temporarily. We plan to compile a new Dev Project list for 2024 that will include the removed projects.

 

Art Game Plans - 2024

We are quickly advancing our backend automation efforts and have begun charting our long-term plans for our games moving forward. As we move toward full automation on our site, we are gearing up to transition to a single weekly art game that consolidates elements from our current weeklies. This new game will present a range of tasks designed to provide equivalent rewards to what multiple weekly games currently offer. This change aims to streamline the experience and reduce the number of non-event ARPG activities. This change has always been our objective, and we're excited to be nearing its realization. With this shift, players can tailor their art experience from week to week without the burden of managing multiple weekly activities. We hope this approach will empower users to focus exclusively on specific tasks that align with their goals for that particular week.

Image Hosting - Update

For some time, all of our art assets were hosted on DeviantART. It was a substantial effort, but we are pleased to announce that we have successfully migrated all website art assets from their previous host to our internal hosting server. This transition ensures that users no longer encounter issues with broken images.
