Monthly Shop Updates!

Posted by

(#6) on Sep 05, 2013


Well, our monthly shop has gone through a few changes, and we'd love for you to take a look! We now have four categories to browse, with icons drawn by our amazingly talented artist, Rabby!

Now, instead of cycling in and out of themes every month, we'll have bone-purchase items that stick around, and can be added to throughout the year! We WILL still do a new bundle item every month that loosely follows a theme, but otherwise, the art team is going to have fun coming up with ideas for items where we'll have free reign, and not be limited just to a specific theme.

So, here's a list of what we have for you for September so far!

Monthly Shop:
Black Leather Jacket (Rabby)
Summer Valley Background (Xylax)
Lowland Plains Background (Xylax)
Black Labrador (Rixon)
Silver Labrador (Rixon)
Somatic Labrador (Rixon)

Main Shops:
Badlands Background (Xylax)
Spruce Tree Background (Xylax)
Common Snowball (Xylax)
Spruce Branches (Xylax)
European Polecat (Xylax)


And we have the Autumn Labrador Bundle, containing these beautiful items!

Autumn Valley Background (Xylax)
Black Byrony (Xylax)
Chocolate Labrador (Rixon)
Yellow Labrador (Rixon)


Our upgraded users will get to enjoy these adorable Labrador puppies, so if you aren't upgraded yet, you might want to be! ;D Due to the way we're handling the monthly shop now, bags will be a thing of the past. While we know everyone liked them, they are no longer an item that would make sense with the way we're doing things now, since our bundled items are already bundled together, and are the only things following a theme. Upgraded users WILL still receive one free item each month, this just won't include bags anymore.


And be sure to keep an eye out for the Dalmatian running around Alacrity! Maybe you'll gain a new friend, if you can catch it!


We've also made a change in the donation tiers, so that you will only receive the Celestial Rat, and future Celestials, if you pay the exact amount that is listed for them. This is to make sure you're only getting one when you actually want one, rather than with every single donation you might make over the course of the month that is equal to or above what the price is. This will also apply to the Magical Water Bowl and other donation items as we add them.

There are still some things to be worked out with our kennel system, but you should now be able to actually sort your dogs into the kennels you want them in, by going into a kennel, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and opening the Tool menu! Our coder will be away over the weekend, so please allow a few days if you run into any bugs, and our coder will get to solving them as soon as she's back!

Thank you all so much for your support, and we hope you enjoy the kennels and monthly shop setup! There's much more to come! :D

Kennels!

While we wait for artwork to be finished for our trial system, we're working on the kennel dynamics of the game! As you might have seen, if you've already created Kennels, there might be some images showing up that weren't there before. Don't worry! We're still working on this, and this is not the final state of the changes we're making! When we're finished, just the kennel images will show on your profiles and My Kennel pages, neat and tidy, and you can click these images to access your dogs! No more scrolling through a big, long list of canines, so you can have the organization we've always wanted everyone to have!

Things to expect:
*Unlimited kennels for both upgraded and non-upgraded users!

*$20k to create a kennel, and a $10k refund if you decide to destroy them for whatever reason!

*No more fees against you to destroy kennels!

*A new Kennel Store, where you can purchase different fences and decorations for your kennels! Fences and decorations will be single-use items, and they will appear on your kennel images.

*Dynamic day/night and seasonal changes! Your kennel images will automatically update depending on the season or time of day, for deeper game immersion! (Still a work in progress)

*Kennel benefits! Depending on the type of fencing you purchase, and the decorations you equip, all dogs within that kennel will become immune to certain negative random events, and will receive certain boosts to stats like mood, health, etc. to make the $20k a worthy investment! (These effects are a work in progress, and we will make an announcement when they're fully functional)

*Move To button on dog profiles, for easy transport of your dog to whichever kennel you want them in!

We hope to have this finished up and functional by tonight or tomorrow, so hang in there with us! We're excited to get this dynamic up and running! Our amazing artist, Xylax, is responsible for the artwork provided for the kennels! <3

It'd be awesome if you guys added a "back to Kennel" button on the dogs. It'd make training so much easier and faster :)

September Games: Beauty Contest A

Good evening, all!

I have some exciting news today! Alacrity is installing a new series of staff held games. This means the mods, helpers, admins, and artists are all involved in hosting games for the entire player base. The first game is starting this month, and it will be a new game every month from what it was the previous month! Every game will run for the duration of a month, and a new game will show up at the start of a new month.

This month will be staff hosted beauty contests!

Staff hosted beauty contests are similar to regular beauty contests in the sense that you dress up your dog to fit a theme. However they differ in that the staff of alacrity will be judging them and choosing a winner - and the prizes are better!

This month’s first theme is “Dogs in the Woods” in preparation for nice fall walks!
The second theme, which will run through the second half of the month, will be announced at a later time :)

Please head on over to the Hold a Contest Forum or Click Here to find out more and enter!

Good luck and have fun!
