Hello, Amicabot community... and hello to anyone who'd like to join in on the fun of this species! I'm hosting a FTO-only MYO ("make your own") event from now until the end of March 15th! Not only that, but I'm also hosting a FREE FOR ALL RAFFLE!!! Yippee!!!!!!! All you need to do get your ticket is spread the word about this MYO event and you can get a ticket to enter! You can get up to three tickets by promoting the FTO MYO event!

how to obtain your free fto myo

Head on over to Orion's Oddities here and obtain the Upgraded MYO slot for free! You can also get a weekly box of stuff and, if you're new to the site, a welcome gift item! The MYO slot will not expire and you can use it at any time.

Be sure to view the Amicabot Design Guide and Trait List when designing your new Amicabot!

how to enter the free-for-all raffle

• Share a link to this news post on any social media such as Toyhouse, Deviantart, Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram!
• You may share the news post up to three times on three different sites for a total of three raffle tickets!
• Submit the link(s) to your shared post to THIS PROMPT to obtain your raffle ticket(s)
• Open up the ticket(s) in your inventory! This part is important, since you won't be counted for the raffle unless you open it up.

Now that the regrowth event has settled down, some Amicabots have been thinking more about tech than greenery... leading some to decide to research how to build an entirely new Amicabot! Building a new friend is all the rage this season, will you try it yourself?

The Building Beginnings event introduces a new function - Buildables! Read more about them here, and potentially get some of your own by participating in the latest event.

This event will last until the end of March, potentially being extended depending on feedback.

Be sure to get your daily Blueprints, and if you need more, complete any of the event prompts! Blueprints may be spent in the Event Shop to obtain a new kind of MYO - BYOs (build-your-owns), and BYOs will become a permanent addition to Zip's Station after the event, and potentially obtainable in future events as well.

Hello, Amicabot community! I come to you all with news! Read all about it below, as there are several new features that have been added!

The little things

We have a mini clock, and our site time has turned from UTC to EST! This will likely affect daily and prompt rollovers, so please keep this in mind!

The PLAY tab & Dailies

If you're looking to forage or craft, you can now find them under the "Play" tab beside the gallery on our website's navagation bar! You'll also be able to obtain your free Daily Spare Part through the Play tab! This means that the Daily Spare Part box will no longer be available through Orion's Oddities... to make up for this change, you'll be able to obtain a new free weekly Box of Stuff from Orion! It contains two mystery items, which range from crafting ingredients to pets to trait items, with crafting ingredients being a bit more common!

Featured Character & new Prompt

Head over to the front page of the Amicabots website to view another new thing: Featured Characters! Each week, a random character will be selected to be featured. You can complete the Featured Character Prompt once per week with each new featured character! Each week you complete it, you will earn two Kindness Tokens.

Upcoming Features

You may notice the "Cultivation" link in the Play tab... while it doesn't lead to anything yet, you'll eventually be able to do some farming in that area! Stay tuned for that, as it hasn't been developed just yet.

In the same note, the Adoption Center isn't available yet for the public, but in the future, it will be used to sell adoptables for on-site currency!

If you've looked around in the Encyclopedia lately, you may have noticed some particularly... unique traits, or perhaps a mysterious subtype for Amicabots.., If you're wondering how to get these Amicabots, that hasn't been revealed yet! Nobody has any of these yet, but if you want to get a step closer to making one for yourself, you can complete acts of kindness to win over the hearts of these rare Amicabots some day. Perhaps before they're released for MYOs, you might find one in the... gacha?

Gacha: Round 3!

Yep, that's right! We're having another Amicabot gacha! This one will be designed by moderators and will be $30 / 30 Spare Parts per roll. The estimated date that the Gacha will launch is March 16th, but we'll have more details released about a week before the gacha begins. Round 3 will be a smaller scale sale than the previous Gachas to make maintenance easier for me, but having a smaller gacha this time only means that the next Gacha will come out sooner! (Round 3 might get a second or third part or so on, depending on the success of this month's gacha!)

...

...Oh, are you still reading? Hi! I also added a new pet to the Pet Shop to celebrate Spring. Beece!

As Winter comes to an end in the Amicabots world, the Tundra begins to warm, and a new area becomes accessible in its place...

You can now forage in the Meadow! Find various odds and ends, and potentially some seasonal wild critters, too!

Click here to forage!

Rumors have been going around among Amicabots that there's a certain type of Amicabot that's drawn to kindness and care... To earn the trust of these Amicabots, which have yet to show themselves in the public eye, you can start working to spread kindness among the community!

We have a new permanent prompt: Gift of Kindness!

This prompt can be completed any time, but you must create works with a different Amicabot each time; at the start of a new month, you can once again draw/write about an Amicabot you drew last month!

You will still earn Spare Parts for participating in this prompt in addition to a mysterious new currency, Kindness Tokens... You won't be able to spend or transfer this currency yet, but it will be used in future updates for obtaining something particularly special!

Please be sure to read the prompt description carefully before submitting entries to this prompt!

Hi, everyone! I thought I'd freshen things up here by sharing a new trait and trait item... Refreshing Coolant!

It adds the Flowerfall trait!

Unlike the Winter traits, the release of Spring traits will be staggered out a bit more slowly, most likely throughout March.

You can obtain the Refreshing Coolant item any time in Zip's Station, and throughout the remainder of the Regrowth event this month.
After that, it will become available from March to May in the Upgrade Shop!

Additionally, as Winter is nearly over, the Winter trait items have been temporarily added to the Upgrade Shop as well! This will give you a final chance to grab any Winter seasonal traits before March begins.

...Still reading this? Great! Because, for the next 48 hours, you can also grab a Refreshing Coolant for free at Orion's Oddities! Enjoy!

Hey, everyone! I've come to you with a little Companion species update... Giant Isobots!

Find out about them here!

Giant Isobots MYO are available at the Pet Shop for 15 Spare Parts.

In addition, the Gaskit and Robuddy MYOs have been moved to the Pet Shop to keep the MYO shop exclusive to Amicabot slots! They still have the same purchase limits, but since they were added before a monthly rollover, you can get a new free Robuddy slot in February and buy another Gaskit MYO this month too, if you'd like!

I hope you enjoy the new addition to our Companion species, and I'm so excited to see what people do with them!

Hi, everyone! I've got two new features to announce...

First, I've added Amicabot features to my Patreon!

By all means, while there is no requirement to subscribe (and most things obtainable through patreon are available on-site for virtual currency anyways) this is one way you can support the species -- and me, a physically disabled & chronically ill artist! Supporting the Amicabot Patreon tiers will grant you a special Patron role in Discord, access to a Patron chat channel, and will give you MYO slots and a lot of other Amicabot on-site goodies!

This is also the only way to purchase a Corrupted MYO slot at this time. If you decide to temporarily subscribe for a specific perk, you can also unsubscribe at any time to avoid being billed again!

Click here to view my patreon!

Now, for the pets...

Dust Devourer and Lawn Leviathan have arrived in the Pet Shop!

Thanks for reading!
