General reminders:

Please make sure your prompt submissions fit the minimum requirements! Each prompt is different, so always check before submitting.

Major changes to characters that don't resemble the original design close enough will not be accepted regardless of which items are used to change substance or fur patterns. Please keep this in mind when submitting design changes in the future.

Events + upcoming:

We have a mini event for this year’s Art Fight! 

Attacks can be redeemed for a small Duckie bonus in art redemption this month, so long as the attack is linked in the piece’s description! Once approved, they can also be submitted to the Attack Submission prompt to earn the Art Fight 2024 award, and other prizes! 

Two raffle designs, by mikeyway and Indigoidiot are available. Tickets can be won at random by completing the Attack Submissions prompt, and purchased by choice in Sudsy’s Shop for 100 Duckies each.

Pets exclusive to this month, the Seahorse and Starfish, are now available in Sudsy’s Shop! Once the event is over, these will only be obtainable by low random chance, so get them while you can! You also have a chance at getting them at random from the Attack Submission prompt.

Everything can be obtained by members regardless of the team they are on for the actual fight!

Part two of the current event is now out! Check it out from the event page!

Changelog:

• Shop prices have been adjusted, this is due to an oversight of them not having been properly set initially. We apologize for any inconviences this may have caused!
• Prompts now have minimum requirements for writing, and writing will be accepted.
• From now on, any prompts submitted to the Event Gallery will have to be approved by a staff member before being accepted into the gallery. Please wait until your gallery submissions are approved before submitting them to the prompt submission! The site guide will shortly be updated to reflect this change.

Please be sure to read this newsletter in full before asking any questions!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and as the summer starts to creep in, it's time for Soapuppies Sudsy Summer Silly Summertime Beach Fun Summer Soapwalk! Or… Sudsy’s Silly Summer for short. If you’d prefer that.

This is an event divided into four parts! Each part will come out two weeks after the previous one, today marks the first part! There's several things this event brings, and all will be available on the event segment on the home page!

Event Currency

This event has a special currency, to be used for this event only – Golden Tickets!

These can be earned as rewards for participating in the event. They can be used to purchase goods at the Prize Counter, including some event-exclusive items, with more to be added! These are non-transferable between users.

New NPCS

There's four new NPCs for this event! Introducing…

Cupcake, an upbeat party planner who loves all things fun!
(Design: coast)

Caramel, a friendly Splashy Summer Soapwalk employee!
(Design: Indigoidiot)

Pierre, a sad little clown… Maybe you can cheer him back up?
(Design: mikeyway)

And Fizzy, an aspiring popstar who aims to touch the hearts of Soapuppies far and wide!
(Design: zorua, slug)

All of these characters will be raffled off to the community at the end of the event. Raffle tickets can be obtained by partaking in the event, and at the Prize Counter. Don't want a ticket you got? They can be resold for 5 Golden Tickets each! 

Scavenger Hunts

Each part will have a scavenger hunt, all with their own pages and unique items. Each week will increase in difficulty, and each hunt has 8 total items possible to find.

Finish a hunt, and you can get a collection! These serve as collectible achievements for your page, along with giving you a reward you can open in your inventory. To redeem collections, visit the Collections section of the home page or Home dropdown!

Once the hunt is complete and the collection is redeemed, the items can be sold for a random amount of Golden Tickets. Be careful not to sell these until the hunt is completed, or you will not get the final reward! 

To keep the game fun, please refrain from publicly giving out locations to other users. Vague hints are allowed, but very specific hints and direct locations are not.

Event Prompts

Each part will have its own prompt! Completing these will reward you with regular rewards, Golden Tickets, an award, and a raffle ticket! You will need to finish the previous prompt before moving onto the next, but all four prompts will be available for the entirety of the event! For more information, head over to this page.

Encounters

The first opening of encounters are here! A new location will be added with each part. If you run out of energy, you can purchase food to restore some at the Ticket Booth! Encounters can be found directly in the top page.

Encounters allow users to explore different areas and answer to different prompts, with the ability to recieve a reward if they choose the correct option. Note that not all  encounters will offer the options to recieve a reward, encounters are up to random chance.

Additionally, food items are now available from the Prize Counter and random chance. These will restore energy for encounters, allowing you to do more!

Dailies

Everyday you'll be able to visit the Ticket Booth to claim a small reward for checking in!
