April - May 2024 Newsletter

Posted 7 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by Staarbits

Hi, everyone!! Sorry for the late news post. And since it's so far behind, we're going to be using it to cover both April and May updates (hopefully we'll be back on track by June!). It's another smallish update - there's not too much to report. We're now into the last few weeks of the semester and it's hitting us both really hard. But by the time June rolls around, we should be able to start getting ourselves back on track. Thank you all once again for your patience and we hope you're having a lovely spring season so far!

Suggestions

We know there hasn't been much going on in the way of all the suggestions left in our suggestions channel, but we do read them and take them into consideration and they are always in the back of our minds as we go about work with the site. We did, however, take some time to sit down and go through all the suggestions that had accumulated so far this month! A lot of them were things that we'd already gradually implemented across the discord/website over these past couple months (like some events and other minor suggestions such as channels/rule adjustments/etc. etc.). So we wanted to take this time to just let you all know that there will always be things that won't really make it to the table due to the specifics of how we personally want things to work, as far as site stuff goes. But that said, your suggestions and input are very important to us and we definitely want to do more with a lot of the things that have been suggested so far! So don't think that we're not interested just because something that has been suggested hasn't been implemented yet. Many of the things that users suggest are site related and we can't really change them overnight. But like we said, they're always in the back of our minds as we go about the development of the site and we're working hard to make sure that people get the things that they want - to the best of our abilities, within the scope of our overall vision for the site!

Monthly Prompts

There was a bit of a delay on our March-April prompts, but we're happy to say that the monthly prompts for March, April, AND May (a little bit early) are now live. We'll be working on overhauling them a bit in the future (potentially by the time June comes about, but unfortunately we can't make any guarantees right now). For now though - and until stated otherwise - they're running along the same guidelines/standards as usual.

Spring Festival

The April porition of the Spring Festival is now live! Due to the pretty big delay, the events will run through April and all the way to the end of May. Additionally, the February portion of the Spring Festival will continue for that same duration as well!

Minigames

The rewards for past minigames are finally in the process of being distributed. If you haven't received your rewards yet, don't worry! We're not done quite yet - it's a slow and tedious process, but we're getting there. Thank you so much for all your patience! We know you all have been waiting a long time.

Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon can now be created as official characters of the Glowchus arpg! These characters are distinctly separate from the "world governing forces" legendaries in that they are NOT "world governing forces" and they similarly cannot produce heralds - but they can be Luminarians! Similarly, they tend to be on the smaller side when compared to their diety counterparts (especially when it comes to larger legendaries) and are not immortal like said counterparts (although they do generally have a much longer than average lifespan - typically around the 300-500 years mark). Despite this, they are often very highly regarded by society, their social statuses being on par with royalty and and are often chosen as political/religious/societal figureheads. Because we don't want them all over the place, they can only be made with Premium Vouchers - but both the standard premium vouchers and the account locked equivalents can be used! Any legendary can be created with the exception of Arceus, Giratina, and also Yveltal, Eternatus, and Necrozma (for story reasons, but this could potentially change later).
