Beep! Boop! Huh, what’s that? Seems like we’re getting a mysterious transmission!

The SPACETACULAR GACHA is coming soon! There are 50 adopts available overall, 30 for USD and 20 for CW buyers. The USD gacha will be held on April 28, 3:30am UTC (see here), and the CW gacha will be on the next day, April 29, 3:30am UTC! (see here). The prices are as follows:

USD: $20 roll, $10 reroll ($5 to first adopt rolled, $5 to next adopt), $50 AB

CW: 150 roll, 75 reroll, no AB

Each gacha will be limited to 2 rolls + 2 rerolls per person. Staff and anyone involved in making the gacha (including affiliates and GA) are allowed to roll in both gachas, but they cannot AB.

This gacha will follow similar rules to the Halloween gacha we had a while back! Click here to see the rules again.

They'll be on May 1, 12pm UTC, and be open for 24 hours.

The USD and CW prices for the MYO slots are as follows:

• Blue Poptopus: $10 / 700 CW
• Green Poptopus: $20 / 1800 CW
• King Poptopus: $40 / 3500 CW

All slots are 1 per user, and have a 2 week cooldown.

We’re still working hard behind the scenes, but we’ve run into certain technical complications, so most of the economy changes announced to take effect in May will be delayed to June. This means that we will be changing the monthly submission limit back to 10 pieces until the site overhaul has been finalized! We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you can remain patient with us until we can finalize everything.

However some of the announced changes will be going into effect. The Sato/Milestone prompt will still be discontinued in May as planned.

… It seems Sato wasn’t able to get rid of that weird tent from a while back. Well, it’s back where it was, standing there like nothing happened. Now there’s a sign that has “MAY 14 TO MAY 20 ONLY!” scrawled on it in marker. Are you still willing to risk it?

Also, we’ve made some changes to this shop:
There will be no CW reward for the prompt, only the random bag. However, there’s now a higher chance of getting a SPOOL OF THREAD! We are also limiting shop purchases to 3 per cycle.

A CW-only adopt flatsale will happen on May 28, 3:30am UTC! See what time that is for your here. There are 7 adopts up for grabs, each worth 1800CW. These will be FCFS, so make sure you're ready and raring and go on the day itself ^^

This April, we’ll be having a gacha themed around space and aliens! There will be two gachas, one USD and one CW! A preview for the gacha will be shown in the next newsletter ^^

There will be no MYO sales in April, so people can save up for the upcoming gacha! MYO sales will be back in May.

We now have a formal process for voiding Foxtopi. You’ll submit a design update (see how to do that here), but for voiding, the new image should have the tentatails removed (We may ask for more traits to be removed if necessary). Don't forget to note down that you want to void the design.

The design will stay on site for archival/future reference, and we’ll mark the design as voided. This should be a more efficient and organized way of voiding Foxtopi. Voiding is of course free, just make sure you have permission from the original designer!

Here's a new batch of the Unut Crystallines set! It'll go up for sale on February 28, 4am UTC. You can check what time that is for you here.

Our first MYO sales of 2023! They'll be on March 1, 12pm UTC, and be open for 24 hours.

The USD and CW prices for the MYO slots are as follows:

• Blue Poptopus: $10 / 700 CW
• Green Poptopus: $20 / 1800 CW
• King Poptopus: $40 / 3500 CW

All slots are 1 per user, and have a 2 week cooldown.

A big thank you to everyone who filled out the economy questionnaire! We appreciate the feedback as we work to make the Foxtopus species a more fun, interactive community. Starting May 1st, we will be making some big changes to the economy (including prompts) and how it runs:

1. 1. We are only going to allow 3 submissions a month for the regular art appraisal and items bought in stores will be changed to a limited stock. This is to better control farming so that items and MYOs don’t become obsolete, and to keep this community from becoming dull from lack of challenge.
   2. We will also be discontinuing the Milestone/Sato prompt. I hope this is understandable, as we gain more and more users it becomes difficult to properly verify milestones.
   3. All art submissions must now be submitted to the gallery first. Submissions that link to anywhere else (Discord, Sta.sh, Toyhouse, etc) will be rejected!
   4. Submissions must now be at least lined and flat colored. Please see the examples below of what we’ll allow:

But don’t worry! As we shift into high gear, making this a better and more tangible ARPG, we will be introducing new activities to make earning CW a more fun and involved experience! We will be adding roleplay related prompts such as part-time jobs, school spirit weeks, and attending events as your Foxto.

This is all to allow for different ways to earn CW. We are also working on a crafting system that will allow you to craft items that aren’t usually available in unlimited amounts!These prompts will go into effect on May 1st as well.

We thank all of our users for sticking around this long, as well as new users for choosing to join our community. We couldn’t do this without you and we hope that you will stick around for the future as we develop Foxtopus even more!

As we further develop Foxtopus into a more professional ARPG, we are now looking for coders to help with the overall look and format of the site!

We are looking for people with experience working with CSS (priority) or HTML to code. Prior experience with working on Lorekeeper sites or websites in general is appreciated, but not required when applying! Coders will be directly involved with the site and future events, so you will be compensated in a similar way to staff compensation (Mainly MYOs and additional items).

If you think you fit the bill, please fill out this form for review!

Love is in the air~ We’ll be having a Valentine’s Day prompt! Draw your Foxtopus confessing to another to receive bonus Event Cuttlewish. It'll be open until February 28 12am UTC, and you can submit up to 10 entries.

It’s the month of love and confessions! Yuuko is currently out delivering love letters, but keeping track of all these incoming orders is pretty difficult! It wouldn’t hurt to bump a delivery or two off of him in all this confusion… Right?

Um… We don’t know when, how, and why this shop popped up but… it’s there… Be careful when buying from this shop, Sato won’t help you get a refund!

Next to the strange booth, you find an easel and some art supplies. Seems there's also a prompt for this mysterious shop. It'll be open until February 28 12am UTC, and you can submit up to 3 entries.

The USD and CW prices for the MYO slots are as follows:

• Blue Poptopus: $10 / 700 CW
• Green Poptopus: $20 / 1800 CW
• King Poptopus: $40 / 3500 CW

All slots are 1 per user, and have a 2 week cooldown.

We’ll be opening up Monthly Artist applications for the upcoming April gacha! The form, along with more info, is here! It'll be open until February 1, 12pm UTC, and the artists will be messaged afterwards.

We’re looking to make some adjustments to the species currency (Cuttlewish and Frosted/Event Cuttlewish), so please fill up the survey here so we can have all the info we need.

We haven’t been able to fix the cash shop on the site yet, so for now we’ll be listing the USD prices on a Carrd brochure here, and to buy, you’ll message Max on Discord (artbymaxm#0524) or Toyhouse! (artbymaxm)
