New Costumes, New Friends!

Posted by Owner-Aspen on 11 Sep 2019, 8:22 pm

Hi everyone!

I am SO excited to finally reveal a project we've had in the works for several months now, three brand new costumes!



Now, these costumes look a bit different from what you are used to seeing on Furvilla. We are expanding our artist pool by hiring various creators to do specific costume sets. The Graffiti Costume is gorgeously rendered by JagBull, our Feral Costume is the amazing creation of Kitchiki, and the Classic Cartoon Costume is brought to you by Mary Mouse.

Each costume will be starting with six species and future additions will be only drawn by their respective artist. This way, we can bring a wide variety of styles to Furvilla, as well as provide regular, varied content. We will also be working to provide costume options for popular and less popular species to help spread the love around.

All new costumes have bases available, and painties may be made for them using all existing paintie rules.



Please note! We will not be commissioning any artists to draw species not already represented in Furvilla or to add to any current costumes, as Kiwiggle remains our main artist. These new costumes, as well as our new festival-based stone items are additional expansion content that we hope you will enjoy.

So, how do you obtain one of these costumes? Well, tell your Tailors and Crafters their vacation is over and visit any village's costume and crafting shops to pick up some basic supplies...



Versatile Sewing Set and Versatile Fabric will stock in all villages, and you may pick up blueprints and all needed recipes for needed costume items in all village crafting shops.



From now until September 23rd, shop stock will remain unlimited. After that time, these items will restock as often as other sewing kits, fabrics, patterns and blueprints. So, stock up!

Current Costume Buff Pump-Up!

The news isn't over yet! Existing costume buffs have been given a raise to some buff percentages. Here is a list of changes:

Animal Husbandry: +20% chance of collection (up from +10%)
Construction Worker: +30% crafting & repairs (up from +5%)
Crafter: +30% crafting speed (up from +5%)
Alchemist: +30% crafting speed (up from +5%)
Blacksmith: +30% crafting speed (up from +5%)
Tailor: +30% crafting speed (up from +5%)
Cook +30% cooking speed (this is a new costume buff, separate from the 5% Magical Sweeticorn cooking buff)

Warrior, Blessed Warrior, Herbalist, and Explorer remain untouched as their buffs are currently solid. Doctor remains untouched as we redevelop the career entirely.

Summer Picnic Reminder



Remember, our Furvilla Summer Picnic will be ending sometime on September 23rd. If you would like to use your invitations to get food, please use them before that date. Using Picnic Invitations after September 23rd will trigger a new explore event... one that might just have you pitching in to clean up after the festivities.

Shop News

My final update is concerning the new Furvilla shop. We are currently in the process of finalizing shipping costs and stock listings. Look for our grand opening announcement sometime next week.

The shop will be small at first with inexpensive offerings as we determine demand for future items. At launch, we will be carrying Mystery Sticker packs, some single stickers, door hangers, and laminated badges. All merchandise will ship worldwide and sales go directly into supporting Furvilla.



Thank you for your patience as we set up shop.
