What a month!

Good evening everyone.

This is your friendly neighborhood developer, doing my weekly check in to let you know what’s been going on!

• Notifications
• A brand new system emerges!
• In preparation for some new functionality, we added the ability for everyone to get notifications. Hopefully you found this news post because of them 😃
• Giving Garden
• It seems that Linds was actually trying to take SC when users were trying to collect some that was donated. This has been resolved and we all apologize about the misunderstanding.
• It seems that she’s feeling very giving today and added a bunch of SC bundles!
• Registration
• We found that some users were able to register with invalid emails and usernames. We’ve corrected this issue and are looking at updating the accounts affected.
• Be on the lookout for some new functionality allowing limited username changes soon!
• Login
• We’ve relaxed the sensitivity on the login, so now the emails aren’t case-sensitive.
• We’ve also added the ability to login with your email OR username!
• Preferences
• Trying to update your birthday or add a description? We found a bug and squashed it!
• Pagination
• The previous pagination was pretty hard to find. We’ve updated it and given it some bright coloring.

Some questions that have been coming up that I wanted to comment on.

• MAGICAL plushies? Where!?
• They are out there but VERY rare. Keep your eyes peeled, never know when you may come across one! They will have the word “enchanted” in the item name.
• Where’s the education integration?
• While we are focused on education, we want to make sure that the virtual pet aspect is solid before integrating it. We are encouraged by all those looking for this functionality and will let you know once we have more information about it.

We’re not slowing down, we have more things in the works!

• Updated forum system
• We’ll be rolling this out over the next month. Please be patient with us, and give us suggestions on what you’d like to see!
• New game
• Don’t want to give too much away, but it is much more interactive and may start leading into our first story.
