Winter Foraging Update

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! I hope you're having a nice December and staying warm! (Or, staying cool if you live in the Southern hemisphere!)

To celebrate Winter, I've added in a new seasonal Foraging area! This area, The Tundra, will be open until March 1st. You can find various odds and ends within the tundra, including existing items and Spare Parts, and... two new critters!

The Tundra may be foraged at three times per day, costing one stamina each time.

Companion Species

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! I'm excited to announce another feature I've developed... Companion Species!
Since Critters have been so well-received, I'd like to intruduce Domestic Gaskits! They're like regular Gaskits, but you can make your very own! With Companion species, you can make

Starting today, you can obtain our very first Companion species... the Domestic Gaskit! Click their name to learn more about making one.

So, how do you obtain a Domestic Gaskit MYO?

Well, for the first week (Until December 17th) you can obtain a MYO slot for free at Orion's Oddities!
If you'd like more, or if you're reading this announcement later on down the line, you can obtain them from the MYO Shop up to twice a month for 10 Spare Parts each, or you can find them rarely by foraging daily in The Abandoned City!

(Note: all MYO slots on-site have the same basic masterlist placeholder image, so when you use a companion slot, it'll look the same as an Amicabot slot, image-wise... you can see the specific species over where the traits are, though!)

Depending on how well-received these little creatures are, we might even see more Companion species showing up on the Masterlist soon... perhaps there might be some Giant Isobots out there, some day...?

Critters & Coloring Contest

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Hey there, Amicabot community! We've added a new feature... Critters! Critters can be obtained primarily by Foraging in the Caldera, but some may appear in other foraging areas in the future. Critters can be given to Amicabots and named, and can also be sold for 2 Spare Parts each if unwanted.

Currently, four critters are available to find!

However, we'd like to add in more! That's where our new feature comes in... the Critter Coloring Contest!
The contest will go on until January 8th! Each entry will earn you 10 Spare Parts as compensation, and three winners will receive 5 Gears and a Premium MYO each!

Read the contest rules here!

Crafting, Foraging, and Donations!

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Hello, everyone! I have some big news: we now have Crafting, Foraging, and a Donation Shop!

Crafting

Crafting can be accessed within the Activity tab on the main site! For the Winter season (December-February) the Winter Seasonal drinks will be craftable! Along with that, the item "CLICK ME" will be permanently craftable as a means of obtaining the Corrupted "Malware" trait without going through Mod customs or adoptables. More items will be available in crafting within future updates!

Foraging

Foraging can be accessed through the World tab! Beginning today at 8 PM EST, members will be able to forage up to three times a day to gather crafting ingredients. These ingredients can be sold for 1 Spare Part if they aren't wanted, or traded with other users as well! Since this feature is newly released, it is still in development, meaning that new items will be added to the pool over time and different locations will be added in as well. If you experience any bugs, please file a bug report or let us know in the Discord server!

Donation Shop

Have any unwanted items? The Donation Shop is now open to send in items for other users to claim them! Please note that donations are irreversible, so only donate items if you really want to! The donation shop will always be available within the shops menu in the World tab.

More features will be added to Crafting and Foraging in the future!

Snowfall Festival 2023

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Welcome to the first major event since Amicabots moved to its own website -- the Snowfall Festival !!!

This winter-themed event will last two months, and it comes with an assortment of Prompts and free daily event currency! (Don't mind the website saying that event prompts are only open for a month -- that's just a bug with Lorekeeper!)

Additionally, say hello to seasonal traits! These traits, while most accessible during this event, will still remain permanently available at Zip's Station starting now!!

OF COURSE, NOT ALL EVENTS START WITHOUT A HITCH... There was a big glitch with the initial release that let users purchase an unlimited amount of Event Coins without any limit! If you interacted with the event shop before the announcement, please contact me by DM or by filing a claim on-site here with a link to your profile: https://www.amicabots.com/claims/new -- I will sort things out and remove excess and bugged items, as well as return your first Event Coin to you properly!

Now that everything's in working order, I hope you all enjoy the event!

 

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from Amicabots! <3 I've decided to release a little special gift early on to celebrate the holiday season!

It seems that Orion found this box containing a little something special and, perhaps, a mystery item that hasn't been put up for sale anywhere yet...?

You can grab one Winter Holiday Gift for free, starting NOW and ending on January 1st, 12 AM website time!

Art Galleries and Big Plans

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Victoria

Hello, Amicabot community! I am so excited announce that we now have art galleries! Thanks to the success of the ongoing Corrupted MYO Slot Sale, I was able to raise almost enough funds to update the website's hosting plan to unlimited for three years! That means unlimited storage, which means we can host Amicabots and gallery uploads to our hearts' content!

You can access galleries by clicking the Gallery tab in the navigation bar!

What's coming up in the future?

Starting  in December, we'll have two major events going on! One is a gift exchange held in our Discord by our wonderful mod xenodeer! Another is a site-wide winter event complete with new seasonal traits, an adoptable raffle, and some special event-exclusive goodies that won't be obtainable anywhere else for a while!

With the upcoming access to Seasonal traits, anything seasonal will be added to Zip's Station at a higher price year-round, so if you end up really liking something available for the season, you can obtain it later on from Zip if you really want to!

I'm so excited for the future of Amicabots! I can't wait to share it all with you!

Grand Opening!

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by admin

The Amicabot website is now open for registration! Come on and join the fun, and be sure to stop by Orion's Oddities for a free welcome gift and daily Spare Parts!

Please be sure to join with your Deviantart account or add your Deviantart account to receive any Amicabots and MYO slots to your name! Treasury and inventory transfers will be done manually and may take some time, so please be patient if you're missing any currency!

We look forward to seeing you!
