Hey folks, a small change to claims /prompts submissions going forward! When your submit a claim or prompt, please input the name of the area it belongs to, not the link. 

For example, if submitting a hoard import request, put "Hoard Management" or a design review, put "Design Review." We'll put together a list of what everything falls under for player reference! Thank you! 

We apologize for any delay in requests, staff are learning the site and being trained still!

Hello everyone! This is our first official news post on the new website! These posts will mirror over on DeviantArt for our news posts! 

Liv and I have a lot to share with changes and things up and coming, so let's get started! 

What's In Release? 

Beta release will feature a few things to start, but not everything. We are still working out a few kinks, but here's what we want for our first wave of beta! 

• Imports uploaded (completed!) 
  • Imports still need dragon health added, but we don't need this for beta release) 
• Item Art Added (Nearing Completion) 
  • About 6 items still need artwork we have found after going through the list and uploading everything that players have access to currently. 
  • Items players don't have access to will be added afterwards, but are not needed for beta wave 1. 
• About Page (not complete) 
• Player Start Guide (not complete)
• Decide how moving hoards over will work, find solution for players who do not play anymore but would like to sell their items/trade their dragons/etc. (not complete)

We have the biggest hurtle completed, and that was the imports and getting all the current item art uploaded! The smaller things will be done fairly quickly and are planned to be done this week! 

What's changed on the site? 

A few things actually! 

Navigation Bar

At the top, we've added a bunch of stuff for links and orginzation! It's still being populated with what needs to be there and we've made a note to let you know if it's a link to dA (nesting in particular!) We are still looking at how we want to handle design approval for beta release, but for now it's still the same as before. Speaking of this, we have started moving our common genetics over to this site with a very nice looking rebuild of my design guide by Draginraptor! Design guides are still being worked on and are high priority along with the website. 

Changes to Wording

Some areas of the site have gotten fixes to the words used. For example, we call inventories "Hoards", so this is fixed. There's a few cases where we fixed wording so it lined up more with our game's lore and aesthetic! 

Shops

Are mostly set up! We do have to reconsider how the bazaar works, because it relies on item trading. It might not be available until we find a solution. 

Prompts

Prompts, or "Activities" as we know them, are being cleaned up! We have made a diagram to explain how we judge images for backgrounds, and many of the requirements were cleaned up. We absolutley recommend you look at the website for updated information, this is where we will have this information and it's the most up to date. dA isn't letting us delete old links, and we may or may not decide to update/remove our links on the dA group page. These are simply discussions we haven't had yet. 

Conclusion

We will have more in the coming days as we move things! Thank you everyone for your patience, we are working very hard to make Souls' new home very welcoming and ready for our first wave of beta testers/players! 

Our new website is being built! Yay! :D
