Happy June sushi rolls! Are you ready for summer already?! In what feels like a blink of the eye, it’s time for some fun in the sun! If you’ve been around for a while you probably already know what that means! But let’s dive right in to some new things happening around the group!

Sooshapon Restock

The sooshapon machine has been restocked! We will now be setting the stock to be 5 carat-based slots and 10 koinpeito-based slots since they were wiped clean last month! 
 
Need to stock up on some koinpeito? 
 
 

Summer DTE

Yup you heard that right! It’s time for our (almost) annual Summer DTA/E! Unfortunately due to the state of the world last year we were unable to host the event. We hope you love the designs and theme as much as us!
 
This year though, we have decided to take on the DTE (Draw to Enter) format rather than the traditional DTA (Draw to Adopt) format of this event! What does this mean for you though? Basically, everyone who enters has a fair chance to win! We will not be judging on the quality of art, characterization of the character’s personality, epic sagas of stories, etc. Rather everyone who enters will receive one ticket into the raffle! All you have to do is draw a full body that is at least flat colored and you’re set! 
 
We hope the change in format encourages more people to participate in this event! The DTE starts June 4th and will run until July 2nd! We also hope to have final results and prizes out within 24 hours of the event concluding! 
 
 

Guest Artist Sales

Due to the DTE, there will be no guest artist sales this month! Stay tuned for the mod batch at the end of the month though!
 
 

Customs

Kayy has opened up limited custom slots for Sushi Dogs! These custom slots will not be FCFS but rather on a limited, interest-based basis. There are mystery, on base, off base, and mythical options available!

Check out her journal here if you are interested!
 
 

Website Updates

I have been hard at work on finding gaps in our website that need to be filled to reduce confusion for our player base. Here are a few updates that have been made in the past few weeks!
 
  • Addition of a Recaptcha on the registration page to reduce spam. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working (LOL) so I’m looking into upping the security of the page further.
  • Addition of the “Help” tab in the navigation. This section is now chock full of our guides! We are still working on writing up the trading/selling rules guide, as there has been an increased amount of confusion with some of our rules, and want to make sure it’s all upfront for you.
  • Disabled the ability to “name” your soosh on the website. We have restricted this to staff only to include food names, which means that sooshes will now be searchable by theme! With this happening as well, we are slowly adding on traits to all sooshes on the site. Please be patient while we slowly transition all characters on the site!
  • Refreshed look on the About page, with new icons and buttons, and the addition of the calendar!
  • Updated fonts and some colors across the site
  • Beginning stages of updating the trait guide with new images.
 
 

Future Plans

Now that we are getting into the swing of our ownership change, things are moving at a much quicker pace around Soosh HQ! With all hands on deck, we are making sure delay times are minimized and new ideas are constantly floating around! With the groundwork Chital has laid for us in terms of lore and world-building, we are excited to expand on it in the coming future. I don’t want to reveal too much yet as I don’t want to set any expectations to release dates, but here are a few things we have been brainstorming for transparency!
 
  • New Shops and Items
  • New NPCs
  • Phasing in new upgrade items and reworking Haute Potions
  • Achievement System
  • Soosh of the Month System
  • 8th Anniversary Event
  • Future Events
  • World Building
  • Site Design Overhaul
  • Seasonal Exclusive Traits
 

And that’s all we have for now! We can’t wait to see your entries to the DTE this year! 

Have any thoughts or ideas for what we can do to improve? Let us know!!
