-LOCKED - January's Big Update #17 | ||||||||||||||
Posted on 2020-01-10 13:53:45
There aren't many people who haven't heard about what's going on with Australia's bushfire crisis. The flames consume the continent and annihilate animals, with the toll rising every day. As we're writing this, it's estimated that there are around 800 thousand million animals lost to the fires. That is a mass extinction, including the species that were endemic or endangered already. We think it's appropriate to keep spreading information and support the Australian people's efforts to fight this disaster. We've made a small donation to this cause. Every little bit helps - maybe you could spare a dollar or two. If we all work together, even in small amounts, there will be enough to help with the struggle. The main link we want to share is a compilation of all possible information and URLs to websites where you can choose how to help to those in need. We personally chose the CFS Foundation to help the firefighters. If you want to help those who have suffered the worst, Givit is a choice we also liked. Considering we made an awareness news section dedicated to the Amazon and Siberian fires in 2019, it felt right to make one for Australia as well. We hope 2020 will be the year where humanity will understand how to cooperate with our planet. Without our planet functioning in harmony with nature, and without nature itself, there are no living beings, including us humans. To have a small memorial for what is happening, we've released two backgrounds and two decors into the Monkey Business shop. They will be half the price and twice the uses, and they will stay there until January 31st 11:59pm LDT.
Along with this, we've released seven new environmental encounters that will have a rare chance of appearing year-round in all biomes. Many of them involve animals trying to adapt to the changing surroundings, and many will include choices affecting your karma. There is also one that helps our lions understand some humans are trying to help, too. There are new rare encounters that have small chances of giving you more than the usual food and toys, including an Instant Cub Delivery.
Thank you Cake for your suggestions! We've changed the name of Mint Choc into Crepuscular. What's that new Styx colour? We'll elaborate a bit more in the Poll section of the News! New Eye Genetics Crepuscular: 40% Crepuscular, 10% Brown, 10% Mint, 10% Sandy, 10% Silver, 10% Storm, 10% Tan. Mist: 40% Mist, 10% Aqua, 10% Blue, 10% Ice, 10% Seafoam, 10% Sodalite, 10% White.
There is also a new set of random chameleon decors you can craft out of Rainbow Stones! To make this recipe separate from the old set, the new one will state it's a 2020 recipe!
* The Small Turtle item has been corrected to Small Tortoise. Apparently the term is interchangeable in many countries, but not all. * The Gorilla Enclave sets have now been named to indicate what set they are from - as an example, [GE - Andalusia] Andalusian Horse.

Tags! Shad has added new tags this week in the Miscellaneous category! Poll Results Thank you for voting on the Hyena base colour genetics! Golden has won, and it will be assigned shortly. NEW POLL - The Styx base was a community request to have a less saturated version of the Noctis base. To match the Styx mane, we will eventually release a Styx base - not right now though, as we want to focus on other colour groups first. So, meanwhile, can you vote on a possible source of obtaining the Styx base? Next Update: Community Update - January 17th! Next Big Update: February 14th!! 0 players like this post! Like?

The fires are so heartbreaking. I'm also saddened that freshies (freshwater crocodiles) are possibly among those billions of animals killed, even though everyone focuses on the cute and cuddly like koalas, kangaroos, etc. I'm sad that they're dying as well, don't get me wrong, I love koalas and all the cute animals. I just also like focusing on the not so cute animals like both croc species in Australia and even the snakes and bumblebees that are possibly passing away due to the devastation because some people don't. I can't donate sadly, but I'll think good thoughts for the rains to come sooner than April there. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I began to cry when I saw the new decor and backgrounds... I live on the Mid North Coast and our town was really close to being in danger. The smaller towns around us was struck by the fires really bad. 0 players like this post! Like? |
