🌺 We have a new pixel avatar by the amazing arctusphere (feel free to use for folder icons or decorative purposes):

 

🌺 We now have specie mascots featured in our new dashboard icons! (Other NPCs for story and shops are still a work in progress.) These four mascot designs will be used in upcoming new banners, emojis, and page tutorials/site icons/guides overtime. They will also pop up in announcements! 🌈 (And huge thanks to Twin for helping with the Xopas one too! And new mascot emojis are done by her as well! :D) You can check their full designs via clicking the thumbnails below:

🌺 The trait rarity known as 🟡 "Mythical" has been changed to 🟡 "Mystical"! It's to reference an upcoming NPC (lore is yet to be revealed) known as Mystery. 🐳

🌺 To conserve site space, all submitted MYOs/ML images must be 1500x1500 pixels or less! This rule has always been in the anatomy page, but now also noted in the MYO guides page. 📝

🌺 Lastly, we have monthly new raffles that you may enter [by clicking here]. The prizes for this month are three Mystical tier MYOs and this design:

🌺 Thank you for reading! Belated Happy Pride and thanks yall for the continued support. 💖 More updates to come this month, stay updated by joining our official discord server (check the CONTACT tab)!

🌺 Hello everybody, ocularguts here! This month's update will be short. To start, I have updated Planet Xaoc's overall plans, which can be read here:

VIEW ROADMAP

🌺 My main goal was to have a working masterlist for the species, which we are genuinely glad that was accomplished last year! However, I didn't realize how intense the burnout I was going to go through after the site has been published. O(—( Admittedly, I am still recovering from such, while still focusing on offline matters [my job and health]. So to ensure things will be easier on myself and our small team moving forward, I have made the current roadmap to be flexible and easier to follow. :-]

🌺 I'll still be fixing big errors if they happen, as well as making Planet Xaoc adoptables + customs. And even if slow, we do actively go through the list of Guest Artists too, which you can apply for here:

Guest Artist App Form

🌺 And finally, a gentle reminder that if you would like to be kept up to date with minor site changes, mod customs, upcoming adopts, and raffles — we highly recommend joining our discord server and using our ping roles:

🌺 Thank you for reading! Cheers to 2024, wishing everyone a good one!

🌺 Edit Update: Raffle winners for our October freebies are now rolled! :]

🌺 Happy spoopy month! This is ocularguts writing to you, and here are October 2023's updates:

🌺 To preface - with new features, come new bugs! Before sending reports, we'd like to inform you of our on-going plans and updated list of known site issues:

ROADMAP KNOWN BUGS

🌺 First - We now have a searchable FAQ! You can search for keywords and select categories. I'll be adding more questions throughout the coming weeks. View here:

CHECK NEW FAQ

🌺 Second - We now have a live clock! I will always place it in time-sensitive event pages (like the current MYO event), but if you look at our FOOTER too, it'll always be there! If you're logged in, you should also find it in your dashboard.

🌺 Third - The site recently went through a server migration causing downtimes. To compensate, we've decide to extend the current free MYO event to November 12th, 2023:

CHECK THE MYO EVENT

🌺 Fourth - We now have a WORK IN PROGRESS plain cursor darkmode and lightmode! You may change your "themes" through scrolling down in the site settings.

(Please note that some text bars may STILL be unreadable. We're working on it! If you are already on your preferred darkmode, we encourage you to reselect default darkmode + hit the Edit button for optimization reasons.)

VIEW YOUR SITE SETTINGS

🌺 Site updates aside - We are currently working on setting up our Sales page! After years of pause, I'm finally making a Planet Xaoc adopt batch again. This will be conducted alongside user Twin, a guest artist!

🌺 These designs will have a STAGGERED release! Meaning, the first half of mine and Twin's batch will go up by October 31st 2023 - 2PM EST / site clock. The latter half being within the first or second week of November depending on our availability. Appropriate announcements will be made to inform the community in advance!

🌺 These will be a mix of auctions and/or flatsales. All are First Come First Served! Preclaims/offers are not allowed for fairness. If you are in the discord server, those who have the adoptables ping role will be notified 24 hours before they officially go up for grabs! :]

🌺 First - You can now edit your character's profile bio through the masterlist! While we allow extensive HTML, please make sure you still follow the site's Terms of Service and do not include links/images that are inappropriate.

🌺 Additionally, big thanks to Pasta - we now have a trait term searcher on our masterlist index! There are also easy to find 🔁 TRANSFER and 🎨 UDPATE ART buttons on the bottom of your character's traits as well for ease of access.

🌺 Second - We are now open for legacy design reversions and value appraisals! During the masterlist port, not all USD values are carried over - you may do this via:

HELP TICKETS

🌺 Third - An update on the ARPG is that we are currently working on remaking the assets for the Marbles and Items before carrying it over from the previous ARPG trello! Additionally, we are also working on pets when time allows! Currently, there was a high demand for worms, so we are starting with those first. Concepts and sketch progresses will roll throughout November and December.

🌺 If you have suggestions on what kind of pets you'd like to see, do let us know! Right now we have the following suggestions: Insects (Worms, Caterpillars, Bees), Fishes, Hermit Crabs, Microorganisms, Pigeons, Dinosaur-adjacent, and Puffballs. If you have other ideas in mind, feel free to comment below. :]

🌺To start - We now have emojis, made by Astramyths! This is available on our discord server (prefixed with PX for Planet Xaoc) and on our site as well:

CHECK LIST OF EMOTES

🌺 Secondly - As practiced before, we are going to do monthly freebies again! Typically one big design and three mythical tiered MYO slots will be raffled (may add more in the future as our community grows). This October, we have a gorgeous raffle design by arctusphere - A storybook Xulap!

🌺 Additionally, thanks to mirarasol, we have a sponsored community raffle of a pre-existing design by ocularguts - a mischevious devil Xatli!

🌺 Everytime you enter a raffle, you get 50 Currency regardless if you win or not! While we still don't have shops open to spend on just yet, it is our form of thanks for the patience as we work on Planet Xaoc's ARPG coming in 2024.

🌺 Edit Update: Congratulations to our October Raffle Winners! 🎉🎊

• Xulap by Arctusphere: SciArtHerp

• Myth MYO Slots: Kaijunaut CheeseFries Shaffee StormySkies

• Sponsored Xatli: Dantaku

🌺 We highly encourage users to read our updated Terms of Service thoroughly and carefully:

Terms of Service

🌺 Our Terms of Service added supplementary segments to section II. OWNERSHIP & USAGE as well as section III. TRANSFERS. These supplementaries are also known as "Fan Characters" and "Market Etiquette".

🌺 Fan characters cover how Planet Xaoc handles designs that peruse our lore and species but are not officially registered in the site's materlist.

🌺 Market Etiqutte covers additional guidance and encouraged behavior when participating in Planet Xaoc's trading and selling spaces.

🌺 Additionally, we have made slight adjustments to guidelines for our Guest Artists. This involves extending deadlines as well as allowing more designs per artist. You may apply and read more below:

Guest Artist Apps

🌺 Edit Update: Raffle winners have now been rolled! All characters are now being processed, please wait for an hour or two. You will also receive a message with the highres file very soon. Congratulations, and thank you everyone who entered! More news will be announced within the week, stay tuned!

🌺 Hello all, this is Oats (ocularguts). After five months of setting this up, I can finally say: Thank you for visiting my website! It is a work in progress, but I am very excited about where Planet Xaoc the ARPG (Art Roleplaying Game) is heading. :) The following tabs will summarize what's new:

🌺 We're now on LoreKeeper! It is a framework of code used for specie communities. I handle Xaoc primarily on my own and outside of my dayjob, so having processes automated helps so much. I'm hoping this will now give me more time to do worldbuilding, adopts, and new content for Xaoc moving forward. :)

🌺 If you would like a full site tour, please visit GUIDES under the info tab. It details all site features and how to use its functions!

🌺 Please take a look over our CREDITS too, as this new site port wouldn't have been possible without the help of these amazing people. I'm truly grateful for everyone's generosity, hardwork, and time!

🌺 ARPG belongings (pets, items, awards, badges, and others) are being processed throughout September to December 2023. Thank you for the patience as I carry over them from the Trello!

🌺 A lot of traits on Planet Xaoc got updated for further convenience and simplification. You can view these on the TRAITS page under the create menu.

🌺 I wanted to make sure duplicates are lessened and I can remember everything easily. Hopefully this will make approvals faster and with less confusion. A short summary:

• New general traits: Feelers, Goofy Lips, Crowded Limbs and Wyvern.

• Wing ears got merged with Crowded Wings.

• Xatli's ear traits now begin with "Feathered". Ribbon Feathered Ears got merged with Regular Feathered Ears.

• Double Ear & Tail traits got merged with Regular/Typical Ear & Tail traits.

• Xopas has new jelly window and feet traits.

• Xulap has new mouth traits.

• Hydra is now availalble for all species.

🌺 Additionally, MYO slot sales are now based on a Rarity tier. More info can be read on MYO INFO under the create menu! :)

🌺 A huge thank you to our amazing contributors for creating gorgeous designs with me as part of celebrating this new site port. :) We have eight designs up for raffle:

🌺 This raffle has now ended, congratulations! 🎉 Order of prizes will be the same as above, do check your ACTIVITY > RAFFLES > COMPLETED RAFFLES menu.
