I have some updated news for everyone regarding Kickstarter fulfillment and a new item we'll be releasing. We are still working on the FA items we promised. weezee started shading the Wildkin set this week and skellri is working on updating our races to make them a little fancier than what we already had. I do have bad news to share; we weren't able to work with SapphieChan on bringing new FA sets to Faenaria (yay scheduling conflicts) and that is why we've got skellri working to make the beastfolk races extra special!
There's something else weezee and I have discussed a lot lately and that's the state of baby pets going forward. We both feel this is an area of the site that doesn't get a lot of attention compared to the adults. We're hesitant to put resources into things that aren't seeing a lot of use, especially considering how many other things we should be focused on instead. Going forward we will drastically reduce the number of baby pets we release. Part of our conversations included what to do about the baby pets from the Kickstarter and we came to the conclusion that only the dire baby pets will be completed.
Now, some of you might be wondering what this means since you specifically made purchases for custom baby making items. We have, to the best of our ability, accounted for this and will be offering an item of equal value as replacement. Introducing the Inconspicuous Cookie... With this item you can now "resize" your custom adult pets so that they are small/big enough to accompany your avatar on all its adventures just as the baby pets do! This is our "in universe" explanation for why a brontosaurus shows more than a toe when standing next to the FA. ;) We really feel that this will be a better, more popular feature than continuing to release baby pets.
Key Things to Note:
• Existing baby pets will be unaffected. They're not going anywhere. We're just not planning to add more on a regular basis. Eventually, we would like for all released pets (at least non-Limited and non-Legendary rarities) to have a baby version but it isn't a priority now.
• If you purchased or have received Ancient Scrolls these have now been replaced with the Inconspicuous Cookie. This item will be replacing the Ancient Scroll on Patreon as well.
• If you were to receive Ancient Scrolls as part of the 2021 Kickstarter then you will receive Inconspicuous Cookies instead. However, if you would prefer to trade these for adult custom making items please reach out to weezee or I with a list of what you'd like instead.
• Ominous Scrolls will remain and baby dire wolf, owl, stag, and fox (which are 100% finished) will be part of our next FA release.
• Shop pets can't be "cookied", but that doesn't mean they won't start appearing in the FA shops! ;)
• To "cookie" your pet, please submit a request via this thread.
Thanks for reading my heckin' long post! Please let us know if you have any questions about this. Cheers all!
