While this year has been packed-loaded with awful stuff, we also want to remember the good stuff, like moving to our new site (Xiun.us if you've been away!) and having fun with not one but two big events in recent months.

If you head over to Deviantart, we shared some art from this year, picked at random by searching "xiunus".

The Leveling System has been Changed and Integrated!

Levels have been renamed to Experience Points (XP) and we've introduced a fresh new Levels system. This new system includes manual leveling up by the user, instead of having to remember Stat Increases and everything when sending in submissions.

To thank everyone, for TODAY ONLY, we have a gift for you all!

We will allow you to level up your adults from Zero [whelps] to One [young adults] - this level up, when done by a user, lets you add 2 free stats! Tomorrow, I'll be running a script that levels up all Adults to Level One. If you want to get this gift of +2 stats, log into the site and head on over to your characters, where you'll see a little up arrow next to their Level count.

Remember, even belemoid need to be counted Adults (have a design update where it's set to adult) to get to Level One.

Level Two will take the place of the old Lvl 100 and while Benefit of Age will need some adjusting (as there's no longer a 100 XP cap), the other benefits of old Lvl100s should all still apply to Level Two, with this addendum: Level Two requires the Writing research to be purchased in order to level up.

Watch For: In Development

The Six Crucibles
Crucibles will be having a face lift in the coming weeks!
They may involve more art pieces per Crucible, so if you want to get those cheap stats in quickly, hop to it :')

Healing
Remember the Healing action? We're revamping it separate from the Prompts system!
The new Healing action(s) will be baked into the Research and Levels system, just like in the old days.

Hunting
Likely to be an art prompt like Foraging, this one will need a lot of art. ;o;

Crafting
This is still coming! As its developer isn't on our team, it's taking longer than expected, but it's still planned!
