Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2025-01-31 00:00:00.

Custom Decor Issues

We are aware of the ongoing issues relating to 3rd party image hosts. While these issues are unfortunately outside of our control, we are working on an update that will make the Custom Decor creation process much smoother and avoid issues when image hosts start to act up. We do not have an ETA on when this update will be made available, though we are trying to get it in place quickly.

In the meantime, avoid using these image hosts for your Custom Decors (and avatars):
Imgur
ImgBB
PostImages / PostIMG

You can try the following host, but we cannot guarantee results:
https://freeimage.host/

Be sure when grabbing your image links that they end in .png, and also that they are not redirecting to an HTML page (PostImages is notorious for this, and you will want to use the "Download original image" link instead).

This issue affects our ability to accept Custom Decors. As a result, until the update is ready, it may take a few more days for our team to process Custom Decor submissions.

Small Wardrobe Update

A new option has been added to the wardrobe that allows you to disable item icons in the dropdowns. This is useful for anyone on a slower connection, with limited bandwidth, or using older devices that may struggle with memory issues.



Please note that disabling (or enabling) this option requires a page reload before it will take effect.

Contest Winners

We'd like to extend our thanks to everyone who participated and submitted entries to the contests that were hosted over the holidays. Thank you as well to all of the players who voted for the front page designs!

Our team has finished going through all entries, and we have decided on the winners for the fan art, front page, wardrobe, and writing contests.

Congratulations to all of the players that won! The winning front page entries should be making their appearances within the next few weeks. The winning writing contest entries will make their way into explore within future updates, along with the entries that won when we previously hosted this contest!

All contest winners will be receiving their GB prizes shortly after this news post is released—don't fret if you haven't received it yet!

If you would like to see the winners for each contest, please read on! The front page winners have been provided under a spoiler tag for ease of navigating this news post. You can also view the Official Contests page to see more details for all entries!

Disclaimer: Some entries that placed in the Top 10 due to player votes have been disqualified and were not counted as winners due to being duplicated entries from the last front page contest we hosted, or their concept was nearly identical to a previous winner's. We will be sure to make it more clear for future contests of this type that all entries should be fully unique and should not take from past winners.

Raffle Lioness

Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Nadir lady with Cimmerian Ocelot (NEW!), Whisper Soft Unders (NEW!), and the ninth Lopé National Park background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Marking Note: Latte Lace and Latte Quail Flecks are now possible to apply via RMA/RMR/Total Shuffle!

Poll Results - Thank you all for voting on last week's poll! It looks like the winning preference is for one new gem set, but giving more craftable options to existing gems received a lot of votes as well. We'll take the results being close to 50/50 into consideration!

NEW POLL - What decors do you prefer that we prioritise catching up on for Spirited? Let us know in this week's poll!

Next Development Update: February 14th!


We unfortunately do not have a new goofy comic this week. Instead, let's look back on a relevant comic released in the past!
