Permalink FA Beta Testing!
You hear that? It's the sound of opportunity knocking! As Paul has finished coding up the FA features we have decided to offer the chance for users to beta test it! How does it work? Well I'll tell ya!

1) To be eligible for beta testing all you need to do is purchase $10 or more worth of Jade Blossoms.
2) When your purchase goes through, send a PM to Lucille with the amount and the email address you used.
3) I will send your JB along with a link that will give you access to the new wardrobe!
4) Use the link and enjoy the new features! If you notice a bug go to the Bug Fixes and use the appropriate thread (once it's made).

What changes will you be seeing?

1) Multiple Avatars
2) Drag & Drop Reordering
3) Save Designs
4) Name (and rename) Avatars
5) Select Skin (no longer an overlay!)
6) And more!

What are you waiting for? I honestly have no idea!

This is not going to be a long beta testing! It ends Tuesday the 22nd at 11:59pm CST

Permalink We Licked the Rainbow!
Mmm delicious! Maybe it's just because our rainbow got sprinkled with a heap of success?! Whatever the cause, we couldn't be more happy to have reached our funding goal on Kickstarter! Whoo-hoo! We will be sending out surveys to collect pertinent information over the next week or two and will keep everyone updated about their rewards!

Just because the Kickstarter has ended, doesn't mean the opportunity has! For the next couple of weeks we will be unofficially extending the Kickstarter offer. All you need to do is Paypal me (lucille.haden at gmail.com) with the amount you would like to pledge and I will add you to a separate list. We'll continue adding to the total in the hopes that we can hit that first stretch goal! This is a temporary arrangement that is meant for latecomers or those who didn't have funds in time! If you would like to increase or change your existing pledge, you can do that as well within this two week time frame. However, you can't cancel or decrease your pledge. We're not offering refunds, just extending the opportunity and hoping to help the site out a bit more in the process!
This offer ends on the 15th of November at 8:01am CST!

I also want to assure everyone that just because we didn't reach the stretch goals doesn't mean we won't get there eventually. These features will just have to take a back burner or be put into a regular release queue rather than being released all at once.

Over the next week or so we will be diving right into the work. Our aim is to get the avatar coding all updated and finish up our new layout! We will also be releasing previews of the Gene starter packs and the pet palette! For now I have a little surprise for all of you... a preview of some artwork that Ryou did for our new layout! Pretty awesome isn't it??

So many great things are in store! We're so excited to be able to share them with you! Expect more updates soon!

Permalink 28 Hours Left!
Only 28 Hours left to get into the Kickstarter! This is your last chance to get the Wendigo & Majouneko pets and also the Witchy Set! Check it all out on our campaign page!

Just a note to our backers, we are not officially funded until the timer runs out. In that time, lost pledges could mean that we lose our funding entirely. So please keep this in mind when changing/canceling your pledge! We understand that sometimes situations change, but it was something I felt needed to be mentioned anyway.

Thanks to everyone who has pledged their support! We really appreciate it! Origins is gonna be a blast!

Pop Over to Kickstarter
