Happy December, everyone!

I hope you're all staying warm. The Amicabots website is over a year old now, and to celebrate the new winter season and the Specimen line of wild critters, I've got an update themed all around them!

Greater Specimens, a new Companion species, are now available for the entire duration of winter! You can purchase MYO slots in the Pet Shop without limit, during the rest of the winter season! Rollover for spring is on March 1st, so be sure to grab all of the Greater Specimen MYOs you want before then! Additionally, you can find the MYOs when foraging in the Tundra during winter!

❄️❄️❄️

That's not all! When foraging in the Tundra, you also have the chance to encounter a Swaddled Specimen! These cuddly variants of the Arctic Specimen are a little bit more domesticated, but they're still wild animals. They seem to tolerate snuggly scarves very well!

This wild critter has the same chance of appearing as regular Arctic Specimens and Snow Gaskits.

❄️❄️❄️

Finally, the Grateful Specimen patron critter has released and given to all Patreon Supporters!

If you'd like to get one of your own, you can subscribe to my Patreon for as low as $2 - the Amicabot Pet Pals membership tier is the cheapest option to get the monthly pet! If you'd like to obtain this month's patron pet through a one-time donation, you may also donate to my Ko-Fi with any amount and send me proof of donation through Discord or on-site messaging. I'll grant the pet to you once you have!

❄️❄️❄️

A new monthly prompt, Merry Specimens, has also been added in celebration of this update!

Thank you all so much for over a year of support on the Amicabots website! You've all been such great support to both me and our artists, and I love this community so much. I hope you have fun with these fluffy friends!

There's a chill in the air, and just before winter brings itself to Aerthir-32, there's enough time to have one last fair to celebrate the season! Everyone's chattering away about all the things they're going to be doing, but a sign catches your eye - apparently, they're looking for volunteers for the festival, and they're giving out a large roll of extra tickets to anyone who helps out!

Welcome to Amicabots' November event! As this event had begun late, it will last until December 2nd.

This event works a little differently, in that you may create your own mini-"prompts" for the community in the form of activities! Read more about it in the set-up prompt!

Players can earn currency by grabbing a daily Ticket in the Dailies Tab free. To earn more, participate in Event Prompts! 

We hope you enjoy this event and have fun participating in it!

Hey there! I've got a new flash prompt / mini event for you all, along with some new variants to the Pridroid pet!

Butch, Femme, Queer, Xenogender, Questioning, and Bear have joined the ranks of Pridroid variants! See all variations of the Pridroid here!

Pride History can be found in the Flash Prompts category, and will continue until November 2nd. Each time you complete the prompt, you'll earn a Pridroid and Glimmer Dust so you can obtain any Pridroid variants you want... or just have more shiny pets! There is no limit to the amount of times you can complete this prompt!

Hope you're all enjoying this October, and have fun grabbing some new Pridroid variations!

Good day to you, and I hope you're having a good Autumn season! (Or Spring if you're in the Southern Hemisphere.)

Today marks the opening of the Nautical Post, a shop where you can obtain Nauticava MYO slots in exchange for Pearls!
Pearls can be obtained by completing Limited Prompts and Fetch Quests.

Get a look at that egg! You'll be able to purchase six Nauticava MYO slots per year. Mutation Potions have no limit on purchase, and can be bought any time.

For the more robotic crowd, we have a new update...

Abandoned Dolls have started appearing in the Upgrade Shop! Eegh... Creepy. Who put those there? Suzie? Anyways, they have the ability to grant the seasonal Haunted trait!

These ominous predecessor dolls will be available until December when Winter seasonal traits will rotate in, so you'll have plenty of time to grab one (or more... if you dare?) before they cycle out.

I hope you all enjoy making some Nauticava and giving your Amicabots The Curse™!

Welcome to another big update, right after the last one!

Today, we bring you... fetch quests! Mira is looking for various items from the surface to complete her collection, and now you can trade with her over in Fetch Quests! She'll grant the Pearl currency, which will have future  use in obtaining Nauticava MYOs and trait items. While you can't spend the pearls now, you will be able to as soon as the shop for them opens up!

Gift boxes & Wrapping

You can now wrap items and pets as gifts! These gifts can be sent to other users or donated right to the donation shop. You'll have the option of choosing whether or not the gifts are a surprise, too!

You can grab Giftwrap in the General Store any time, for just 2 spare parts a piece!

Whoa, check out that warning sign! It's here to catch your attention, for... big updates have come to the site!

An outline of the updates:

• Content Warnings have been given an icon, and can now be added to characters on your profile. Please don't abuse this feature and add needless warnings just to hide characters' masterlist image; content warnings should only be used with their intended purpose! (such as horror themes or common phobias like clowns, spiders, etc.)
• Birthday Rewards will be given during birthday months. Currently, the only birthday reward is a Coolant Cupcake, but I'll make something better further down the line when I have more energy!
• Fetch Quests are going to be added soon! They are currently accessible via the Play tab, but there isn't anything there yet. Keep an eye out for a future announcement on that!
• The Navigation Bar has had a bit of a revamp, which I will detail below!
• Selected Character on profiles now show the character icon.

Navigation bar updates:

• A new Shops tab has been created for the main shops, user shops, and adoption center!
• Prompts have been moved into the Play tab!
• A link to the Guides page has been added to the World tab!

Bugs that have been fixed:

• Pet drops have now been fixed. The dirt drop for Shimmering Snifters has been patched out for now (sorry!) Look forward to future updates on pet drops some day now that they work properly!
• Two secret bugs that only admins and prompt moderators could see have been fixed. Hurray!
• Orion can finally stock his shop with new items.

Thanks for reading! Hopefully folks will enjoy this! More updates are on the way!

A new category of prompts, Limited Prompts, has been released!

Like monthly prompts, these prompts will cycle in each month and give a special non-transferrable currency, Pearls! Pearls will be granted in addition to Spare Parts, so don't forget to calculate criteria to earn your usual art rewards for these prompts! Each month will bring two new Limited Prompts, when the old ones will cycle out.

Unlike monthly prompts, there will be two Limited Prompts each month! You'll also be able to complete each prompt two times! Each prompt grants 5 Pearls, meaning you can earn a total of 20 Pearls per month!

Pearls aren't spendable yet, but this update will give you a head start on being able to earn them for when the Nauticava shop opens up!

As time goes on, the apocalypse that had formed most of Amicabot society begins to grow further in view - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, or a good thing - simply something that happens. But for Amicabot culture, it means one thing new. Rebuilding efforts have been needed less, which leaves more room for another important aspect of culture to grow - art.

Some Amicabots have begun to write plays, other make pottery. Communities to share poems, drawings, knitting, music, and more have began to form. One of these many communities of like-minded Amicabots banded together over their love of a specific artform - video games.

After finding a half-made game left by the predecessors in a development building, a small team of passionate Amicabots banded together to finish it themselves - hoping that their efforts and the work of their past creators could become something that would inspire the future of the artform. By developing the game further, they realized that it could run on their very own hardware, allowing Amicabots to experience a unique virtual-reality experience. Of course, a version for traditional VR devices was built alongside it, for any curious Nauticava or Robuddies who want to adventure alongside their friends.

Daily life-threatening adventures are par for the course for some Amicabots, but for those who yearn for adventure from the safety of their own home, Eternal Dungeons was released - a massive online game that can be played from the comfort of home. Although an Amicabot will feel as though the experiences in the game are real, the dangers are not, allowing them to safely explore and feel like a hero.

What are you waiting for? The download link has spread all across Aerthir-32’s Internet! All your friends are playing it!

We hope you enjoy this event and have fun participating in it!

Hello, all! I come to you with another update... the Making Friends update! You can now purchase Making Friends: A Pet Building Guide at the General Store!

Buy it up to three times to obtain all recipes for new Craftable Pets!

See them below under the spoiler warning... You can click each pet to see its encyclopedia entry and shiny variant!

Toggle Spoiler

To obtain these craftable pets, you'll need several existing crafting ingredients, as well as the most important new ingredient: the Battery! The Battery cannow  be found when foraging in the Abandoned City, as well as through the general store - with limited stock of 5 per day, once weekly per user.  (Note: stock may be adjusted in the future, but finding batteries in the apocalypse can be a challenge!)

A smaller detail worth announcing: Scrap Metal now has an updated image, because I wanted some nicer art for it!

That's all for now... I hope you enjoy making some pets!

Hello, Amicabot community! I have a fresh new update for you all... 

We have a new foraging area, the Badlands!

This foraging area costs 5 Spare Parts to forage in, but only uses 1 Stamina to forage!
In the Badlands, you can find some returning items as well as FIVE NEW TRINKETS and FIVE NEW PETS!

You can see them in the spoiler tab below... or find them yourself by foraging in the new area, perhaps!
