Costume Changes & Paintie Rule Revamp
Posted by Staff on 21 Nov 2016, 12:41 am
Hey there my busy little beta bees! I've come around again with a couple little news announcements for you so please bear with me.
Costume Changes
First up we have some exciting news about Costumes, they will no longer be restricted to the original 6 species! Costumes can now be applied to any of the common species on site so everyone can enjoy the Career Buffs that come along with applying a costume to your Villager. While most species do not have images available now, they may at some point in the future. So if an image becomes available for the species/costume combo on your Villager you will be allowed to convert to that image if you like. You will just need to contact [email protected] with the request.
Paintie Rule Revamp
Second bit of news is that we have made a few tweaks to the Paintie rules to prepare for the site to open and to reflect the change I was just talking about above. Please be sure to do a thorough read through and get familiar with the changes we've made! I know that it's a lot to look through but we appreciate you all taking the time to work with us on this so we can help you keep creating and collecting all those amazing Painties.
Highlights
-Costumed Villagers can now use any (non-limited) base that is available for the species.
-Costume base pieces may be used on any species as long as the Villager has that costume applied.
-Human traits on Painties are now judged with a numeric threshold.
-Prohibited content has been edited to reflect language standards currently being used for the forums and a Profanity tag has been added for those that wish to block these types of Painties.
-The use of downloaded brushes is allowed but proof must be provided that they can be used for commercial purposes.
**the full wording for these rules can be found on the Paintie Rules page**
Thank you for reading and we hope that you all will be happy with the changes we've made!
@Admin-Mateusz
Oh, okay. That's a bit saddening.
Fluffitron The rule right above the Unedited Base rule talks about the use of costume parts :)
@arts-waifu We have no plans to add them to rares at this time.
cute I will have to chat with staff and our coders about that but it may be a possibility in the future.
quick question! in the past if you wanted to put a costume on a paintie'd villager, you had to remove the paintie. now that we can use any base avaliable for their species, even with a costume, will it let us put a costume on without having to remove the current paintie?
@Admin-Mateusz
Yeah, I got a bit excited and missed that part, lol. Will the costumes eventually be applicable to the rare species, as well?
@arts-waifu I see you already got part of the question answered but on the other bit, yes, the change has already gone live.
So, are we allowed to use parts of costumes with the species that currently don't have costume images? Like, say I put an aquatic costume on a Rodent, and I want to put the aquatic dragon's ear fins on it. Would that be allowed? I know it says we can't use unedited costume bases for creatures outside of that species, but what about small individual parts?
this costume/paintie change has been my dream since the beginning of beta, thank you so much ;w;
also glad that ANY species can enjoy costume buffs now, even if they don't get the actual image yet!
I dream a dream where Greenscale can look like the Beast she is inside~
Choccie
Ohhhh, shoot. I misread. xD Well, I still have other villagers that can use them so no big deal.
@arts-waifu The update says that costumes can now be put on all *common* species, and I think Gembounds aren't commons
