The Pet Update!

Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by Victoria

Hi, all! We now have pet functionality! All Critters have been converted to Boxes that can be opened for pet functionality! Attach pets to your Amicabots and have them visible on the side of an Amicabot's profile! Additionally, you can now find critters as actual pets when foraging, making the box versions no longer obtainable!

With this update, expect more features including a future petshop, and pets that can be purchased during events... I'm so excited to see what you all do with your new pet critters!

Small Critter Update

Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by Victoria

Some new critters have appeared in the Caldera!

Not only that, but a new permanent general prompt has been created... Critter Searching! Draw this prompt to get a random critter as a reward, along with 5 bonus Spare Parts and the usual calculated spare parts rewards for Amicabot artwork!

48 Hour MYO Event (Free for all!)

Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by Victoria

Hi, everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend! I've decided to set up... a free Enhanced MYO event! All you need to do is be a member of the website, go to Orion's Oddities, and grab that free MYO! It will be removed from the shop after 48 hours, but any MYOs claimed during this event will remain with you permanently so they can be designed anytime.

I look forward to seeing what you all design! <3

Worn by time...

Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 11 months ago by Victoria

A new Corrupted trait has surfaced within the apocalyptic world of Amicabots... Tarnished Form!

This trait gives an Amicabot an alternate form that resembles its original, but has clearly been damaged and worn by time. It can be obtained with the Broken Clock item, which will be available sparsely during certain events and permanently purchaseable twice pear year at Zip's Station!

Foraging and Crafting Update

Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 11 months ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all having a nice January. I've got a big update on foraging and crafting...

You can now craft Upgrade Shop items! Yep, all of them! All you need is crafting ingredients, which can be obtained by foraging in the Abandoned City!

As a reminder, Winter Seasonal traits are still availabe to craft until March, too!

Craft plenty of things, anytime, at the Crafting page accessible via the Activity tab!

Robuddies Re-Release!

Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 11 months ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! Some exciting news for you all: Robuddies are back, and available to make & add to the Companion Masterlist! If you've been with the species since its DeviantArt days, you may remember Robuddies as the first companion species for Amicabots. Now, they're available in the MYO shop for FREE, once-per-month, per-user! They are tradable, so if you'd like to obtain more than one per month, you can trade MYO slots or premade Robuddies with other members within the group.

Robuddies are still an open species, but a new rule has been made that you'll need to have a Masterlist entry for them to be used in on-site activities and prompts with your Amicabots. The once-per-month obtaining limit has been put in place to make approval work easier on moderators, as we have to manually review every submission. You're still welcome to make Robuddies anytime for free off-site! However, as of today, only Robuddies on the Masterlist can be used in website activities. Old Robuddy designs can can be uploading to the Companion Masterlist via the MYO slots!

Obtain Robuddy MYO slots here!

Surrendering Update

Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 11 months ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! I'm excited to bring a new feature onto the Amicabots website: the Scrapyard!

The Scrapyard page serves as a location where you can surrender unwanted Amicabots that will be rehomed for free to other users in raffles and as prizes. If you have any Amicabots you'd like to get rid of, the Scrapyard is the place to go! Please be sure to read the page's rules if you have any intention of surrendering Amicabots, as the process is deliberately thorough to prevent any accidental character loss.

The Scrapyard is currently accessible via a link in the Donation Shop! In future updates, this may be subject to change, but it's the easiest way I can link it without having coding knowledge.

Thanks for checking it out, and I look forward to giving good homes to any unwanted Amicbots!

Hello, all! I'm very excited to announce the winners of the Critter Coloring Contest!

There ended up being so many wonderful entries that it was hard to choose just three... so, I ended up going with twice the amount of winners! This means that six new critters are entering the rotation!

The winners of the contest are, as follows...

All new critters are obtainable through foraging in the Caldera, and can be viewed in the encyclopedia!

Winners have received the reward of a Premium MYO and 5 grears!

It was tough choosing winners with so many wonderful entries... so, thank you all for submitting amazing colors for all of those critters! If you didn't win the contest, you're welcome to keep the design you made for personal use! (As in, if you'd like to make a personal character for yourself with the color patterns you used or keep the image you colored as a character, you're welcome to!)

Thank you all so much for participating! I look forward to hosting another contest in the future!

Small Trait Item Update

Posted 11 months ago :: Last edited 11 months ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! Happy new year 2024! I've got a little update I've cooked up for you all... a new trait item, a new crafting component, and an update on trait descriptions!

Electrical Wires is now available for purchase at the Upgrade Shop!
This grants the Frayed Wires trait. In addition to this, Elecrical Wires can be found when foraging in the Abandoned City!

Additionally, the Trait Page in the encyclopedia has had an update to item descriptions! You can now see what items grant which traits.
The traits that don't have any items mentioned haven't had any items made for them (yet) or can only be ontained via MYO slot or mod customs, in the case of Corrupted traits.

Thanks for reading! In the future, I hope to create more trait items so that Premium-and-lower traits will be accessible to all Amicabots.

Merry Christmas from Amicabots!
