Forms and Updates!

Updates to Alternate Forms!

Updates have been made to alternate forms to make them all the more enjoyable to use!

- Now, you're freely able to modify the name of alternate form tabs, allowing you to freely designate alternate palettes or forms of the same species!
- Additionally, you can hide or delete alternate forms! Deleted forms will require a new Formula Plus (and any other relevant items) to re-obtain.
- Lastly, you can also sort the tabs as desired, if you have a specific way you'd like to organize them ("Base Form" will always display first).

These settings may be found via an "Edit" button that has been added at the end of the form list for any Lythians which have already unlocked alternate forms.

Going forward, alternate forms also now individually list subspecies, body types, and Crossbreed parent species! We will be slowly going through and fixing applicable Lythian forms to properly portray these changes, however we would greatly appreciate if users send in a Support Ticket if they would like their Lythians with alternate forms to be updated faster!

Other QOL Adjustments

- There are now random trick and treat buttons for Trick or Treating, found on the Haunted Faire 2022 Index page.
- Custom content warnings may now be added to Lythians and companions. Please note we will be moderating usage of this feature, as it is intended to warn other users about potentially uncomfortable content in a Lythian's description or design! Lythian profiles should remain PG-13 even when using this feature.
- Lythian and companion profiles now have an additional set of navigational arrow buttons. These buttons will take you through the next/last general index entries rather than the user's personal characters.
- A new achievement category, "Hidden", has been added and will be used for some retired and secret achievements. Several old achievements have been recategorized from "Event" to "Hidden".

A selection of Haunted Faire themed Lythians have arrived! These guest artist-designed Lythians will be made available on the day shown on top of their silhouette.


TIMELINE:
October 14th through October 30th - Designs will be posted according to the number shown in the preview, at 17:00:00 site time. They will be available for varied sale methods on their own listings. (Some days may contain a bonus companion design!)

Flapping Kiklet Update

5.png

Flapping Kiklet has been updated to version 1.7.0.0. This update includes:

- Full graphical overhaul.
- The addition of background music ("The Vine", licensed under CC BY 4.0) (toggleable via mute button).
- Art updates to game icon and Dangerous Vine Sticker.
- More fullscreen adjustments.
If any of these updates do not immediately display, please try clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or similar).

In addition to this update, a new setting has been added to Layout Settings, as follows:

Automatically mute music/sounds?
(If on, arcade games that have music will always start in a muted state, but music/sound may be toggled back on while in the game.)

Other Updates

- Daily Tasks page updated to include various other daily, or semi-daily activities.

- Fixed an issue with the Gotta Capture 'em All achievement wherein captures were not being counted properly.
A button to "Fix Capture Achievements" has been temporarily added to the bottom of the Companion Captures page. Either clicking this button or successfully capturing another companion should award any missing levels of this achievement.

- Added wiki guide on how to avoid some forms of cultural appropriation when making and submitting characters. Going forward, we will be strictly following these guidelines when approving character submissions as well.

- Added "Nunito" (Lythbound's "default" font) to the text editor font list. May require clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or similar) to view.

Welcome to the Haunted Faire 2022!

Ringleader.png

"It is good to return to the realms of Lyth once again this year. I welcome Lythians one and all to the Haunted Faire, to partake in our activities, until we lose our connection to your mortal realms once more."

Haunted Faire, now with a Haunted Exploration

The Haunted Faire has once again become accessible to Lythians from the mortal realms, and a variety of activities are available again this year! The Faire runs from October 1st until October 31st at 23:59:59 site time, unless another date and time are mentioned for a specific activity.

To see everything available at the Haunted Faire, be sure to visit the event hub!

Lost Realm

This year, we are pleased to announce the Haunted Faire now has its own dedicated exploration! Raise your familiarity to at least level 2 to unlock an all-new haunted exploration and find rare items! To get started, a free Lost Key is available here

1005.png1008.png1006.png


Ink has returned with a new set of art prompts! Win pets and a Lythian Slot for completing varying amounts of the prompts.

Go bobbing for apples once each day. You probably will not come back with an apple, but maybe a tasty treat or even a new friend?

1015.png1016.png1014.png

Go trick-or-treating at your friends' doors and receive treats (or tricks) each day! The rewards are different for each option, so you will need to decide which you would prefer!

To trick-or-treat, simply visit another member's profile and interact with the UI at the top of the page. Trick-or-treating will only be available on the profiles of individuals who have recently logged in.

Got candy from trick-or-treating? There appears to be a new selection of thematic pets invading the Pet Shelter who would love to take it off your hands. If you're lucky, the pet you feed might decide to come home with you! Feed these pets in the shelter with your Haunted Faire foods while you can -- they will disappear on November 1st!

The Ringleader's stall is available once again for spending your Faire Tickets for a variety of prizes, including the limited-time Moonsbane Potion and two new NPC Plushies! This portion of the event is open until the end of the year, December 31st at 23:59:59.

993.png135.png992.png


Starting on October 18th until October 31st, new and old Eidolons will be released throughout the site for discovery... Will you find them all?

984.png985.png986.png


Like last year, Djiminni are once again available to capture with Lost Realm familiarity!

Collect materials to make their lure and build up your familiarity with the Lost Realm to capture these unique companions!

Last but not least, The Faire's visual art costume contest is back this year! Entries for this part of the event are only open until October 22, 2022 at 23:59:59 (to allow time for voting) so be sure to get your entries in!

New Monster Subspecies

CONTENT WARNING FOR TRYPOPHOBIA

The Haunted Faire's energy seems to have escaped as the doors to the realm open, and some Kella Ser and Levii are feeling a little strange...

kella-ser-monster-subspecies.pnglevii-monster-subspecies.png

The Monster subspecies is now available for both Kella Ser and Levii!
This is a temporary condition that overrides a Lythians normal subspecies. This means that they can be both their natural subspecies and a Monster by transforming between the two. Read more about this transformation on the Kella Ser and Levii species pages!

Use a Moonsbane Potion from the Ringleader's stall to change your Lythian into this subspecies.
(Monster Kella Ser conceived and designed by Jarre, Monster Levii conceived and designed by Cake)

...

There's an old black train a'comin', it's scraping on the iron, you don't need no ticket boys, it'll take you when it's time.
