Good Morning/Afternoon, Sensifolks!

We hope that y'all are just as excited about it being Friday as we are!!! As we were going through some old photos of the Requien, we stumbled upon an old favorite of ours. An old rendition of the Requien was the keeper of the Sensipet Eggs. It would guard the eggs as they incubate before hatching. We called them, Mother Requien. After Tommi took over the Lab, the energy around Casius started to change and instead of the eggs, all pets are now created in the Laboratory with that same energy and new technology that was invented over the years. What do you think about our old Mother Requien??  

Don't Forget:

You have until tomorrow at 8 PM EST to submit your Requien fan art for the contest. This is your chance to snag those 1,000 tickets to the ticket counter! We've got a few new additions coming that I'm sure you'll want the tickets for!

Next week's Pet Spotlight?:

SERPENS!!! SO, STAY TUNED

Time to quack open your piggy banks, because there are three new Duckies for sale at the Toy Trunk! The Storm Ducky, Tech Ducky, and Toon Ducky are some adorable squeaky friends that will bring a smile to your Pets' faces.




That's not all -- these new Ducky friends also come in collectible form! Stop by the United Terrafrost Post Office if you'd like the Storm Ducky Stamp, Tech Ducky Stamp, or Toon Ducky Stamp in your collection. Or if you're more fond of chilly collectibles, you can take the respective Duckies to the Ice Box and freeze them into the Storm Ducky, Tech Ducky, or Toon Ducky Ice Cubes.

All nine of these adorable Ducky items were funded by @Silvy. If you're having a lucky day, you can get the Toys and Stamps as a reward from the Plushie Quest. A week from now, the Alien of the Space Quest will be asking for those too, while the Snowman Quest may be looking to get their hands on those Ice Cubes!



Have you unlocked the mysterious Snowman Quest? If you haven't, now's the time to start assembling pieces -- from today until September 5th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the rewards and opportunities for the Snowman Quest will be doubled. Make sure to stock up on some chilly Items!

The poll booth has a new poll available for you.

September is here, which means our Celestial shops are stocking new beautiful goodies! Our theme for the month of September is Moroccan Nights, so be sure to grab our September exclusive Magic Shop, Celestial Market, and Cash Shop goods! We also have all of our new genes/wearables + releases from last year available as discounted spotlight packages in the Cash Shop!



In addition to a wonderful flood of new items, we have also added new genes to a classic Desert breed - The Nalduri! This breed can be found in the Desert World under the CE original breed section. The Nalduri has 2 brand new markings, additional mane/tail colors, additional horn colors, and newly selected eyes + body colors. This is a fantastic natural breed with a fantasy twist! We have also released colorful variations of the new Nalduri markings into the Magic Shop for player purchase.



Next up, we are thrilled to announce our Kickstarter campaign is officially fully funded with just over a week remaining to back the project. In case you missed our previous announcements, we have put together a 50-page coloring book version of our CE breed book! This first edition will feature 50 beautiful CE original breeds plus 10 player breeds! For those of you on the fence about backing a custom level KS tier, we currently have 4 slots remaining for player customs for this edition! To check out our tiers, simply view our campaign here!


Lastly, we are so excited to see so many new faces popping up on our CE Discord! If you have not joined our channel yet, we strongly advise it to get to know our fantastic community. We also post sneak previews and mini updates on a regular basis through our channel. Join the community here!

Gene Error Tracking Thread

There's some housekeeping on the way! Over the next couple of weeks we will be reviewing the current gene art errors tracking thread, comparing it with our internal documentation, and then compiling a list of known and confirmed to be active gene art errors. To be clear: This process has already begun, but it is significant given the number of reports that aren't errors or have already been fixed, and we don't want to rush it, which is why it won't be ready immediately for perusal. When it is ready, the new Gene Error Tracking thread will be locked and stickied at the top of the bug reports forum.

What can you expect going forward? To start, we are temporarily locking the [Art] Incorrect Gene Colors thread so that we've can fully compile existing errors from it. Once we have finished and the Gene Error Tracking thread has been posted, we will unsticky the old thread, and replace it with a new Gene Error Reporting thread where new reports that are not present in the Gene Error Tracking thread may be posted for us to look into. We realize the gene error process is opaque and this has been confusing for many of you. Our goal is to reduce some of that opacity with these new threads so you know what to expect when planning your breeding projects and applying genes to your dragons. Thank you for your feedback, and for your patience while we work on a clearer tracking thread and reporting method!

Hello! Today marks the end of the Autumn fest- next holiday even is in October when the Bakeneko come down from the shrine to celebrate halloween.

on another note I do apologize for the lack of updates recently, I was really bummed at all the work I put into the Autumn fest all of the month of July and no one was playing. SO I got a bit depressed and Stopped working on the site for a while-

Sorry.  If I can be candidly honest It can be REALLY REALLY hard to find motivation to work on the site sometimes... as well as frusterating and difficult. Im a one person team right now that CANNOT actually code. So I cant give you guys things and features I would love to give you.. But I do try my best.  And I definately appreciate those of you who continue to stick with me.. and the people who can code who help me out when I break things.

Im doing the best I can on my own with little feedback. So that will have to be good enough right?

I love you all and this isnt meant to be a Sympathy post or anything.

I am back to work on stuff... and I will keep doing what I can while we wait for help/people to finish features for you all. I will always be here. And I will NEVER truly give up on Atrocity... so dont worry- It will exist as long as I do.

And something super helpful if you dont mind helping is to tell your friends and help me advertise If you love my site as I do, help me get more people who will also love it.. If theres more active users- Im sure it will be more fun to be on. So Id appreciate the help.

There are a few updates to mention that I did the past couple days.

It now tells you if a pet is breedable in the adoption center-



And also lets you know the last time a user has logged in in their user profile (under membersince)

Unfortunately thats all I have for now- Gotta go update the theme to be fall because like a moron I forgot to do it last month lol......

back to waiting, and working on what I can.

~Till next time all!

Howdy y'all! °¤ 

Hope your week is moving right along. Only two more days till' the weekend!! We thought we would drop in and show everyone the transformation that the Requien had! We have the our Requien from 2015 and the Requine as we know it today °What do you think about the transformation?

What are those markings, you might be asking???

Well, the Requien's markings have been rumored to date back for hundreds of years. Some believe the shapes and symbols represent the pet's inately deep spiritual sense. With it's undying loyalty, some pet owners look at the Requien as a spirit guide. Others believe that the markings are used for a special type of aerodynamic flight. They use this beautiful pet as a guide in the woods, as they can fly higher than any other animal on Casius. Whether you enjoy the pet's loyalty, cunningness or just the deep mystery behind it's past, having one of the Requiens as a pet will sure be an advantage in any adventure you embark on!

We have received some really good fan art of our beloved Requien, so far. If you have inspiration to draw this pet, we would LOVE for you to enter it into our fan art contest! Remember, you have until Saturday at 8 pm EST to submit your art, and you can submit it in the contest section of the forums. 

Have a great rest of the week!!

Art Submission Guidelines

The updated Art Submission Guidelines are live! These now reside on their own pages, allowing us to better explain each guideline, and leaving Free Play less cluttered.

The changes to grading are as follows:
- Defined the difference between a "Simple Character" and a "Standard Character" for 2D and 3D art
- Added "Simple Character" as an image size option alongside Headshot/Half Body/Full Body for 2D and 3D art
- Redefined "Lineart" grading to include clean, well-defined lineless works for 2D art
- Added rendered "Painting" as a higher value grading in the Coloring section for 2D art
- Removed "Companion" prop option for 2D and 3D art ¢ grade approved Companions as you would a Lythian character
- Models without texture or paint may now be submitted for currency (previously worth 0)

More examples for visual grading definitions are planned for the future.

The ARPG Submission calculator has been updated to reflect these changes!
