Exhibited Press

Happy Easter, guys.

The Easter Plushie is now stocking in the store.



Last day to catch those bunnies! :)

Some more tweaks:

* You have a new option to choose whether or not to display your friends online on the sidebar. By default, this is switched on.

* There is a user log in effect now. Every action you take on Exhibited is logged (so it can be of better help to mods) and is viewable. There are two types of logs - sensitive (usually matters dealing with money/scales etc) which are completely private no matter what setting you pick except to mods, and then the regular log, which is open to whomever you choose, and mods. You can choose to leave it public (everyone), YOUR friends only (so only friends you add), or private. Mods will be able to see all of them anyway.
Information is logged for a week and then deleted so it doesn't clog up the database with billions of, "Player x won a battle with their dinosaur Fluffy!" :P

* Along with this, there is a latest friend log which you can enable/disable on the sidebar in your settings. If you enable it, it will show the latest five user logs from your friends (that either have public profiles or have you mutually added, depending on their privacy settings). In the future I'll add a link underneath to see more.

IT'S RAINING BUNNIES!!

So the bunny breeding farm accidently had a breakout, and now bunnies are running rampant around Exhibited! Up until the 25th of April you'll need to catch twenty of each color. If you can find and catch all of them in time, the bunny farm will grant you a one hundred use skinned rabbit and ten praise to help kickstart the praise system!

Get finding them, guys! :O



ALSO:

* Enclosures will no longer show up in the moving crate drop down if they are not suitable for the dinosaur.
* There is a new pedigree function for dinosaurs.
* New battle image. ;D

I added a new bookmarking feature in for everyone. You can bookmark any page on Exhibited and they will appear on your sidebar, providing you with easy access. :)

Basic accounts can have up to 15 bookmarks, while upgrades can have double that amount of up to 30.

I also compressed the help request tool and made a small user options area on the sidebar. Anyone have any requests for other useful, small features that could go there? :O

SO!

There are a couple of updates;

I. Pictures are fully working again. Yay!

II. There is some new random artwork floating around the site. An example is:


Our new bartering image!

III. Lolosaurus has become even rarer than it was. :O

IV. There is a new help system on the sidebar. This is for use to ask for help or seek help from a moderator. The new help system is a great improvement over the old one!
Edit: Please understand that the help panel is there if you have problems which you can't find the answer to on the boards. Try not to abuse it by asking random questions (How long have X been here, magnets how do they work etc etc?)

V. Dinosaurs sold at the lab can either be babies or adults. Adults now cost $2500 more as an attempt to crackdown on instant breeding by new players.

VI. I have finally implemented dinosaur contracts. At current, if you breed a dinosaur and you own it, you can apply a contract to it (this cannot be changed if up for bid). You'll be able to set the maximum amount of offspring this dinosaur is allowed to have throughout its lifespan. This is particularly useful if you want to restrict your lines, or are selling a dinosaur to someone you just might not trust NOT to overbreed it. This is only in effect for new dinosaurs bred in the game as of now, also.

Additionally, all laboratory dinosaurs will have a contract placed on them of 4 offspring. You can pay extra EXD to have an unlimited contract, but otherwise this is non removable. Custom dinosaurs will have unlimited contracts by default. ;D

So yes. I think that about covers it! *showers everyone with confetti*

For anyone that didn't get it, yesterday was an April Fool's joke.


Got you. ;D

ALSO:

I am aware of the bug with images at the moment. o.o Apparently the library we use to build the images uninstalled itself from the server, so looking into it. Pah!

So guys, I've been thinking about Exhibited and where I want to take it.. And honestly, dinosaurs just bore me now. :/ I want a realistic game and I can never have that with dinosaurs.

So.. I decided to make all of the dinosaurs evolve into chickens. Exhibited will become a chicken game, where we can battle, raise, breed and train virtual pet chickens.

The header image and chicken images are all placeholders at the moment, and soon I'll get them replaced with proper EX art.

I hope we all approve of the decision. :)

Also, the lab made a mistake today and an abomination escaped and is multiplying. The pteranodon is trying to clear them up, so you may have an egg land in your farm. If you do.. Don't hatch it! :O

Happy April Fools! ;D;D

Also, it's a new month. >.> So we have new club leaders, and a new monthly donation item - which is a sack of herbifertile. (You can use it to force a breeding from a herbivore herd. :D)

Hello guys!

It's my birthday today, so as a present for all of you:

- Utahraptors will be in the lab ALL DAY today so they are always available.
- Utahraptors made at the lab will receive a 4x their usual starting stats.
- Utahraptors custom made will receive a 10x their usual starting stats.

And click the button below to get a free sandwich of doom.

**Offer ended. ;D

Edit: We'd like to introduce our new Guru Team, these will have the responsiblity to greet new members and help people who need it:
Griffel #113
Noxia #333
Daski #1155
Star #1753
Cinnamon Bubbles #1978
Kaneon #607
Sunita #134
Send #551
Gizmo #428
Spotty #785
Clara #2793
Zani #2255

I will also be giving you back the modbox feature at some point today. It's been revamped to accomodate the new guru helper system. You'll see it on your sidebar when it reappears! :D

Utahraptors have had a makeover! :)

An example of their new image is below:



There's also a new background, The Boglands:



And I'm going to get started on coding a welcomer system. These will essentially be like newbie helper positions - so if you're interested, you should probably start making yourself known. The mods will have full control of the hiring/firing of these when they're done.

Happy st. patrick's day everyone!

As usual, the plushie is restocking in the store.



Updates are slow on my end this week because I just moved house and everything is up in the air. XD But I'm still here. <3 Any major bugs, contact Herbal (#4) and she'll hit me up!
