June Newsletter

Happy June!

As always, before we dive into what’s in store for this month, make sure to check out this rollover's winners in our Winner’s Showcase!

 

New Feature: Expanded Random Events

Some month's ago we introduced two random events to test the feature. We have made adjustments and added a whole new selection of REs you may encounter! These events random from Good (Such as gaining a new item), to Neutral (With fun flavour text or links to helpful sections of the website!), to a few ... less fortunate results (such as losing a few crumbs to King Moni's snacking habits, oh no!). We hope these will bring some new excitement and randomness to your activities! (And just a tip: King Moni can't snatch your crumbs if they're in your bank!)

As a reminder, Random Events on Strudel-Cafe are triggered by actions rather than page refreshes! So harvesting a crop, casting your fishing line, or even feeding your Beanie can all trigger a RE!

 

On Hold: Bonus Paychecks

We have removed all bonus paychecks for this month as we are revamping how they work in the context of our activities! We want to make them feel like a worthwhile addition to an activity, rather than an art afterthought. We plan to roll out new Paycheck Bonuses next month. Stay tuned!

 

Coming Soon: New shops!

We have two new shops planned for release later this month. Keep an eye out for a news update when they open their doors! (We hear one will even sell an item to ward against those pesky "bad" Random Events mentioned above!)

 

All activities have been rolled over and are ready for participation! As a reminder, Part-Timing has updated this month with a new set of prompts!

Expanded ARPG Crumb Upgrades

Several ARPGs are newly purchaseable with crumbs! These are ARPG memories whose primary function is to unlock website activities such as Fishing for Trouble and Foraging for Faeries. ARPG memories which focus on character progression such as Origins or Magic School, as well as Seasonal memories such as Trick or Treat and Winter Advent, will remain attainable only through traditional ARPG completion.

Base memories cost 100,000 crumbs to purchase and increase by 25k each "part". For example, Barn Raising (as the farm is now free) begins at 100,000 crumbs. The follow-up memory, Flew the Coop, is 125,000 crumbs. These values are subject to change after careful monitoring of how this change impacts the game economy.

 

Additionally, a new page is live: the Glossary! This will be an ever-expanding compilation of common terminology used within the community to assist new and old users alike! This page can be found permanently linked under the Help section of the navigation.

Midveil Celebration

The Celebration festivities are getting underway, and Sugar is in need of your cakes to feed Midveilers that have come from far & wide! Perhaps you can donate some cakes to help her out?

If you haven't yet, you'll want to check out the memory that unlocks the cake recipes here!

 

Still haven't completed your Jack of All Trades (Cooking) ARPG Memory? Good news: There is a new way to unlock! If you don't feel like completing the memory, you can now purchase a Memory Unlock for 100,000 crumbs! To do so, simply view the ARPG page and click the "Purchase Unlock" button in the section below the banner. Make sure you have enough crumbs on hand to complete the purchase. If you have already completed the memory, your attempt to purchase will be blocked. (Sorry, this is not a way to obtain additional crafting slots. Those will come with the addition of other types of crafting benches!)

This is only available for the Cooking memory at this time as it is a trial run to see how this impacts the game. Adjustments may be made in a future update.

Spring Crafting Update!

We have updated Crafting (Cooking) to allow for a new max level: 15! Along with this comes a new set of Starter Recipes that have been automatically added to all users with Cooking unlocked.

Additionally, you can now utilize the Recipe Books gained from the Love Letters event to learn their new recipes. You may even find a few new recipes in The General Store if you're lucky!

(Don't worry -- If you missed out on your chance to get the Recipe Books from the events we do have plans to release them elsewhere in the future!)

 

Also, we've added a few more quanrantine-friendly Kindness Counts prompts.
If you can't complete any of these don't worry, we adjust them and add new possibilities from time to time!
