Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all!

Dialogue Event:

The epilogue to A State of Emergency can be read here!

Written by Lobcorp

Mispellings and adjustments to currency names:

We have consulted a dictionary and discovered that we were right the first time. Port Crysmamethmum has been renamed back to Port Chrysanthemum. 

Clownboins are now known as Cloudcoins!
Starboys are now known as Starbits!

We have decided that these are much better names. We are so sorry for the inconvenience.

Boss Fight [update]:

The Snapping Dragon boss fight is still ongoing! However, there have been a few adjustments.

• Donating Cloudcoins now deals damage at a rate of 1000CC to 1 damage.
• Mythical items are also now able to be donated to deal damage.

The boss fight will end on April 7th! 

After this point, rewards will become claimable to everyone who participated.

Trait Updates:

We've made a few updates to some traits and subtypes! All characters affected have already been updated, but feel free to let us know in the Help Channel if you find one that was missed.

• Extra Limbs [both variants, all species]
  • Has been renamed to Extra Body Parts! 
  • There is no functionality difference, this change is simply for clarity as the trait covers body parts that are not limbs.
• Wings [CRC]
  • Has had its rarity downgraded to Rare! Note that this only applies to the Cirrocanius version of the trait.
• Wild Cat & Wild Dog Subtypes
  • Have had their rarity downgraded to Rare! This applies to Spacecats, Sodacats, and Cirrocanius.
  • Big Cats and Hyenas are still Mythical.
• Conductive Spacedust [SC], Energized Soda [SDC], & Stormy [CRC]
  • These traits are now able to be optional without Multiform.
• Multiform & Color Changing [all species]
  • Previously, having a character change between sclera/pupil color traits, star/bubble/cloud shape traits, and/or substance pattern traits would require both Multiform and Color Changing, as they were changing both colors/markings and the relevant traits. As of now, these changes only require Color Changing. 
  • Here are a few examples of what we mean:
    • A character whose sclera colour changes between white and black, with no other design changes between forms, requires the Dark Sclera and Color Changing traits.
    • A character who has an optional pattern in their spacedust requires the relevant pattern trait and Color Changing.
    • A character with Multiform, who has several optional traits and obtains a sky pattern in their second form, would now require both Multiform and Color Changing.

Spring Hunt:

Our annual Spring Hunt will be hosted beginning on April 20th! This will entail multiple days of scavenger hunts for items, as well as several spring-themed raffle designs.

A newsletter with further details will be put out at the beginning of the event.

Guest Artist opportunity [reminder]:

In case you missed it in yesterday's newsletter, we have guest artist applications open for our annual Spring Hunt! All of the information can be found below.

This is a non-monetary position. Artists will be tasked with creating one Spring themed design of any species. Artists will be compensated for their work with 1,500 cloucoins and 200 starbits.

Anyone of any age may apply. The form will close April 3rd, with guest artists being chosen on  April 5th! The final deadline for designs will be April 16th.

We are aware the deadline for this one is tight, and we apologize. Please only apply if you can make this deadline.

Apply here!

Port Chrysanthemum Raffles [reminder]:

Port Chrysanthemum adoptables that would have reached a price of 0 Starbits this month are currently being raffled off! This will be a monthly occurance, as long as there are characters to raffle.

The raffle can be entered here. 11 winners will be rolled, and each winner will receive a random design from the “to be raffled” folder (here).

This raffle will end sometime on 4/16/2026. 

April PAY-to-enter raffle:

Design can be seen below! Each raffle ticket can be purchased for 500 CC and can be found in the Starstop Shop!

This raffle will close April 30th 23:59:59 site time, and will be rolled sometime the next day!

Tickets for the April Fools design are still available.

Poly Selfbreed MYO Queue:

Non-randomized poly selfbreed MYOs now need to be submitted to this queue to have their slot generated, and cannot be opened from the inventory.

This is in order to ensure that selfbreed slots are taken from the parents upon the slot being generated, to prevent niche situations where a parent runs out of slots while a MYO is still pending in the queue.

APRIL MONTHLY MADNESS:

This month’s theme is Bad Weather! Draw or write about your TSS character experiencing bad weather! This could be anything from a bit of rain, to excessive heat, to a natural disaster - whatever they would consider to be 'bad'!

The April Monthly Madness will last till April 30th!

Submissions for the Tax Season prompt will still be accepted until April 7th. Both prompts may be completed this month.

Misc:

• The April Fools Object Body prompt will remain open until April 7th!
• Our species rules can now be found on the site footer! These were previously updated in our Discord server, however we overlooked adding them directly to the website. 
  • Be sure to refresh yourself on these, as well as our Terms of Service.

That's all. Thank you for reading!
