Hello!
Tomorrow the preview for the next prompt goes live (this means the prompt will be officially available to draw for on the 20th, a week later).
I meant to make this post sooner but lost track of days with our thanksgiving coming up OOPS

This prompt will be introducing an aspect of the ARPG that's going to be used now and then! Voting!
However this one will be a bit different from a standard poll or selection of options. For the first few days (including today), we'll be accepting questions posted to this forum post, and either on the 15th or after activity in the forum dies down to a crawl, we will be making a new post with a poll to select several of the chosen questions from and the NPCs will answer, in character, the top 5~
(More info in the post)

The day before the prompt is available to draw for (the 19th) we'll be closing the poll and updating our intro sequence for the following day~
Your submission will be reacting to the questions answered, posing the questions IC, or whatever else your OC is doing during this moment <3
So make sure to check out the intro sequence for the full QnA on the 20th!

Hello!

We are planning to do a small Halloween event this month! There will be no required art to participate. The ARPG itself isn't very far along, and we have the next prompt upcoming!
But still we wanted to do something for the season, so we've decided on a simple scavenger hunt that's OOC~

To participate, you only need to check out the scavenger hunt's Quest Prompt once it goes live (we will make an announcement when it does) and check out the scavenger hunt's hints~
There will be ~5 candies you can find around certain forum posts on the ToyHouse world, with an additional 6th candy hidden on the website...
Once you've found each one, you can submit to the prompt the passwords associated with them to receive your reward!
The 6th candy will give you an additional 10 Scraps!

However, we weren't sure which reward users may want most, so we've put it to a poll~
The poll will end in a week, so the 15th.

The scavenger hunt will be the week following Halloween, including that day, so Oct 31st -> Nov 7th.

VOTE HERE

Possibly last news for a while, now! Sorry for all the pings haha.

First prompt is live in 1 hour-ish!

Tutorial on how to submit to the gallery and prompt can be found here

Again, there is no deadline for submission, so you can create at your own pace~

Currently, we'd like prompts to release on a monthly basis, so users have time between them to work on their submissions. There may be early pushes or late pushes of prompts, though we'll be sure to let everyone know ahead of time. As such, LE2 should be available for October 20th~

There is an intro sequence to each prompt! You can read it for a more in depth introduction to the going ons in the prompt~

If the prompt introduces a new section of the lab, a map will be unhidden in this Toyhouse gallery (and linked in the intro sequence)

You do not need to draw the area perfectly in your submission! This is a reference to give a much better idea of what the lab and its interior or exterior looks like. 

Please make sure when submitting your gallery submission, you include a content warning if needed~

(And if anyone hasn't noticed, completion of this prompt will give you enough scraps to purchase a third character register slot, if you wanted one enough! Prompts at their base give out 20 scraps, and 40 for more major story beats or participation. So don't think you have to buy one right away, you can weigh your options first~)

Thank you again everyone! It's been a great reception thus far and I'm excited to continue working on the arpg and learning how to make the experience best we can! ♥️

Hello everyone! Trying to do this best I can on mobile haha

We've decided to let the community vote on which date works best to launch our first prompt you can draw/write for. We know a lot of users are still working on applications and characters. Lobby and mission prompts will always be available after their initial launch for you to do, however!

Thank you everyone who has signed up to the LK! We're only missing a few users so far, and those users will have their emails verified later~ (I am going to bed here soon)

We are really excited for the ARPG and look forward to getting started and seeing what people make!

We're hoping to launch our first art/writing prompt within the next week if all goes well. Prompts for the Lobby/Missions will be available indefinitely for you to submit to, so there is no rush or time limit. The only potential time limits are limited time rewards for prompts/missions, and users who submit in the first month (~30 days) of the prompt going live can then enter their art to a raffle to have it featured as the prompt's icon on the website~ (with your credit, of course!)

You're still free to make art in advanced for prompts that're listed on the missions and prompt list page.

Thank you again for everyone's continued support and interest! We hope to make this ARPG fun and exciting to participate in!
