🌺 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:

πŸŽƒ IMPORTANT CHANGES πŸŽƒ


Β

🌺 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! :]

πŸŽƒ ARPG UPDATES πŸŽƒ


Β

Β 

🌺 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 πŸ” 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. :]

πŸŽƒ COMMUNITY πŸŽƒ


🌺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!

Β 

🌺 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! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

πŸŽƒ TOS UPDATES πŸŽƒ


Β

🌺 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

πŸŽƒ TRAITS EDIT LOG πŸŽƒ


🌺 The bullet_blue.png Rare: Floating Jelly trait for Xopas now may now act like Floating Parts as well. I'll update it's trait art next month + scour the masterlist if needed. Given that the lore states they can time travel frequently, it makes sense their body can easily segment itself.

🌺 I am dissolving the bullet_blue.png Rare: Goofy Lips trait for Xaeco and Xatli - which means you can have any design for the outline of the mouth/lips for those two species.

🌺 The bullet_blue.png Rare: Kite Ears [cuts and holes on ears] for Xaeco and Xatli will be merged with the bullet_blue.png Rare: Hollow [bodily holes]. Those who have this trait will be replaced with such soon.

🌺 All species with the bullet_blue.png Rare: Multiple Ears & Tails traits that also have the bullet_green.png Common: Typical/Regular Ears & Tails will undergo a small masterlist edit. I'll be removing the common trait from the character's list of traits to minimize redundancy.

🌺 The bullet_red.png Anomaly: Collide trait allows extra forms (besides the base and power forms) and alt palettes, I will now be calling these two features as "Morphing" and "Color Shifting". All current masterlisted designs will be edited with this distinction.
