Announcing Beta Test - The Clinic!
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 9 May 2021, 12:51 pm
Hello my furry, scaly, and feathery friends!
I am pleased to announce that we will be running a beta test for a new feature in the Doctor career called “The Clinic”!
The Clinic Please note that yours truly coded this from scratch, with most the work being done a year ago, so the likelihood of significant bugs is EXTREMELY high.
Therefore, the primary purpose of this beta test is to seek out such bugs and also stress test the code. I have created a related forum where I ask you to report any discovered bugs or exploits!
That being said, let me explain what The Clinic is all about!
If you go to any of your villagers’ Doctor career profiles, you will see a link to their Clinic.
About once an hour an algorithm will populate the Clinic’s “Sick Ward” with patients who are ill. Each patient will have an illness and ask for a specific item as treatment. They will also show you what your payment will be for treating them. The payment can be one or more of an item, FC, or a combination of both.
So how do you claim payment? Well, once a patient is fully treated, they will go into your Doctor’s “Discharges” area. From there, you can click a button to send them home, and you will receive your payment.
On a Doctor’s clinic page, you will also see a log and a site-wide leaderboard to track the most productive of healers!
Okay, so let’s get to some specifics to understand how it is supposed to work:
Every villager that knows the Doctor career has their own Clinic.
Every hour a certain number of new patients will spawn, and all Doctors will be have the chance to treat them.
Each Doctor can only give one (x1) medicine to a particular patient.
Some patients will only require one treatment with a medicine, and thus be immediately healed.
Other patients will require more than one treatment with the same medicine, and will require the help of multiple doctors to be ready for discharge. Each doctor who treated the patient will receive the payment (even multiple doctors from the same player!)
Some patients are “first come, first serve”, meaning they will automatically disappear from ALL Sick Wards once they are healed. These will usually be patients that require multiple medications.
Other patients will appear in Sick Wards for a full hour, and disappear on the next hour. These patients will only require one medicine, but every doctor will have a chance to heal them during the hour.
A patient must be discharged to receive payment. Patients will remain in the discharge area indefinitely if you do not discharge them.
Some illnesses are based on the original site illnesses, and by default will require their corresponding medicine. These are the same medicines that your doctors are able to craft!
Other illnesses are “custom” illnesses. Their treatments are other items in the game.
For the beta test we have a small pool of test patients. More may be added during the beta test.
The beta test is tentatively scheduled to go for at least 2 weeks.
For now, the patients have been designed to be relatively cost-neutral, not asking for anything of high value, while paying out rewards of relatively the same value.
So why participate? Well, it’ll make me happy! But also it’s a necessary test to make sure the code works as intended, and gives me the chance to tease our what needs to be fixed and improved before we roll out the Clinic for real!
At the end of the beta test, the Clinics will no longer be available. But assuming all goes well and I am able to make the necessary fixes, it’d come back as a full site feature. *fingers crossed*
Oh! And remember the leader board? For your trouble I’ll give every player who has treated at least 50 patients total during the test a special user profile trophy as thanks!
So please, check out the Clinic and let me know all the juicy bugs you find! Remember, continuing to use any discovered exploits is against site rules!
I will also use that forum to post any coding updates.
Thank you all, and happy healing!

The Serpent Tribute has Begun!
Posted by Owner-Aspen on 26 Mar 2021, 2:02 pm
Hello everyone! I am excited to announce the beginning of our 2021 Quetzal Palace Serpent Tribute Festival!
The festival begins now, and will run until 11:59pm on April 9th. The Serpent will only accept offerings during this time frame.
The Gala Ball, where you may trade your serpent feathers for fabulous prizes, will open on April 2nd and close on April 16th at 11:59pm.
The Gala Ball, where you may trade your serpent feathers for fabulous prizes, will open on April 2nd and close on April 16th at 11:59pm.
Offerings to the Serpent
As in previous years, all of Furvilla comes together at this time to pay tribute to the Great Serpent of Quetzal Palace, both as thanks and for good luck for the upcoming year.
The Serpent provides Serpent's Feathers in exchange for the items it seeks. These feathers will be used as currency during the Gala Ball's Prize Shop when it opens next week.
The Serpent has several specific demands, which you may view on its donation page.
To obtain items the Serpent seeks, you will be calling upon the assistance of the majority of your villagers, as most careers have something to contribute.
The contents of the starter pack are explained below, so read carefully.
Special new recipes!
The redeemable code will provide you with five new recipes.
Crafters, Alchemists, Tailors, Blacksmiths, and Cooks will craft these recipes. Each time a recipe is crafted, a basic item is guaranteed to drop. Occasionally, a rarer version of this item will drop as a bonus in addition to the base item. The Serpent will award more feathers for rarer items.
Don't be shy about donating these items to the Serpent during the festival! Your villagers may continue to craft the above items forever, but be advised the Serpent is picky and will not accept these items next year.
Explorers help too!
While exploring, villagers of the Explorer career will encounter a special event. In this event, you will meet the new owner of Quetzal Palace's own souvenir shop, QP Shopkeep's Goods and Gifts.
Make a left at the Fluttering Fluff Puff stall, you can't miss it!
You may pick up an extra recipe or a special magical stone from the shopkeep!
This special exploration event also has a chance of awarding extra crafting materials through an exclusive openable. If you are really lucky, this openable may also have a bonus QP Shopkeep's promo item inside!
Thank you for shopping at QP Shopkeep's!
Warriors step up!
Your Lvl 10+ Warriors may wish to help your cause by heading off to the Serpent Battlegrounds to spar with various elemental beasts and the Serpent itself! This battleground will challenge your fiercest Warriors as well as provide you with extra crafting items needed to appease the Serpent.
Have a novice Warrior who isn't quite tough enough to take on the main battleground? Don't fret! The Serpent is offering more gentle sparring and training for lvl 1+ Warriors, but your rewards will be far less... rewarding.
Animal Husbandry pitches in!
In the starter pack link code at the top of this post, you will find complimentary special cloud pets. The Serpent seems to be quite fond of rare and super rare versions of these cloud pets, so start breeding!
These pets have a cooldown of 1 day, and are able to breed until the prize shop closes at the end of the festival, on April 16th at 11:59 pm.
As an added bonus, for the duration of the festival, your daily breeding turns have been increased to 100!
All rarities of these cloud pets will also be available for purchase at the Gala Ball.
Herbalists, get those paws dirty!
Your Herbalists may contribute some lovely flower offerings to the Serpent this year! Head on over to the Cottage Shoppe to exchange leafs for Serpenia Seed Packets.
You will only yield one plant per seed (bonuses do not apply), but your harvest will never fail. After the festival concludes, the Cottage Shoppe will stock Serpenia Seed Packets forever.
Information Recap
-The Serpent Tribute starts now and will end on April 9th at 11:59pm.

-Serpent Feathers are used as currency at the Gala Ball, so save them up. Feathers may be used next year, but once you convert them into shop points, those points must be spent before the shop closes for the year.
-The Gala Ball and festival shop will open on April 2nd and close on April 16th at 11:59pm. We will have another news post with more Gala Ball information when it opens.
Enjoy the fun, and please appease the Serpent. It has been waiting all year for your tribute.

Scheduled Downtime - March 26th at 1 pm
Posted by Owner-Quinn on 24 Mar 2021, 12:07 pm
Howdy!
We are planning a scheduled downtime for Friday, March 26th, 1 PM Furvilla time.
We expect this to take at least a couple hours.
The primary purpose of this downtime is related to this year's Quetzal Palace festival. Assuming all goes well, we plan on starting the festival immediately after downtime.
Thank you, and be safe out there!

Posted by Owner-Aspen on 12 Mar 2021, 4:11 pm
Warm winds are finally blowing into Furvilla, and Spring is right around the corner! To celebrate, your Explorers can participate in the Great Shamrock Hunt from now until March 31st!
Collecting shamrocks is easy! All you need to do is explore and you will find shamrocks everywhere. Collect 77 of them to craft a special Golden 4 Leaf Clover using a Golden Magic Recipe, which can be purchased in the Cottage Shoppe, along with its older counterpart. This recipe can be learned by Crafters.
Your Golden 4 Leaf Clover can be held by a villager as a keepsake, or you can open it to try your luck at receiving one of the following items:
Happy hunting, and good luck to you all!
