Update~
Added 2021-06-15 06:04:41 +0000 UTCAlrighty so! Future updates will be done on Fridays moving forward, since I'll be meeting with Nai and/or mod group on Tuesdays or Thursdays each week and I can update you guys on things that are going on. Atm I'm hesitant to set a static time because my sleep schedule is a hot mess (had a VERY late start today hence late update) but we'll see how things pan out.
Here's a starter list of things, group wise, that are going on.
Tomorrow I'll be meeting on general QoL stuff for the group so that's what will likely be in the next update. For example, adjustments to word count requirements for written prompts. We'll also be going over other areas where the mods feel they'd like to explore more autonomy.
Adjustments to max currency gain per month. Nothing drastic at first, mind, but we will be talking about it and seeing what's manageable. This would also open up options for mods to run extra prompt events that would otherwise exceed previous EC/AP caps.
Subtypes. These have always been kinda willy nilly in my head which led to some really wonky coding for traits, but we're working out a more cohesive structure for elnin subtypes that I'm excited to share with you guys in the future. An example of this was the recent change to undine tails (swapping from being subtype specific "undine" to "overwild (aquatic)" because they have not been completely tied to subtypes). I'll probably go into the reasoning of this particular change and what we'll see in the future for subtype vs overwild traits when we release more of that information later on. Currently there are 5 subtypes planned, with the next full release being either undine (slightly more likely) or djinn.
Side note: It's not my intent to paywall subtypes forever, but because they function sorta outside normal elnin standards they've needed some extra tuning and will need their own comprehensive trait guides before we can explore opening them up outside of regulated slots/official sales.
And as far as personal updates:
Hiding a bit. After posting I think I had a minor meltdown xD From just.. worrying about everything. I'm mostly talking with Nai to keep things hyper focused. I'll probably branch out a bit starting tomorrow if anyone has sent me a discord message and is wondering when I'll respond, I'll tentatively start then. Just. /wheezes. Intensely anxious you guys, I know there's so much to do and I want to do it, but I gotta take things in tiny bites or I'm just gonna choke again dflkgjdhflkjh. Tonight feels good though. We've got a plan. Just have to see it through.
Streams. Would love to start again. Perhaps Wednesdays? Let's do a stream this Wednesday then. 5:30pm PST.

Heya Mana! I don't want to resend the discord message because I don't want to stress you out before your ready with something that would leave a notification on discord like that, but could you check my DMs? Silver-the-Wyrm#5502 No pressure though I have anxiety myself so I understand completely!
