Cybura

Happy Holidays! So, as promised, here is the update regarding the 15 days of Christmas event. It's a few hours late unfortunately, due to testing and adding some final touches, but nonetheless, here it is! And one more thing to take note of is that the event will also be running a day late, meaning instead of it starting today (December 21, 2017), it will begin tomorrow (December 22, 2017) at midnight. So, we are going to keep this update short and jump right into it! Step 1 - Acquire Your Holiday Gift Pack(s) (Click to see larger image) Cybura is still in it's development stage, and this stage can prove to be the most costly because it does not generate funds regularly. So with that said, the Holiday Gift packs and this event are part of our fundraiser in hopes to generate a bit of funds to help take care of server costs, bring you a bit of new art and speed up programming in some areas. So far the event has pulled in about half of what it cost for the art of the event itself (the exclusive items), but regardless, we thank everyone for their support! Whether you help fund Cybura or help by staying active and/or inviting your friends, thank you so much! Step 2 - Activate your Holiday Gifts (Click to see larger image) To activate your holiday gift packs, open your travel bag click the holiday pack you wish to activate and then click the "Activate" button (#1 in image) located under "Store Item". Step 3 - Place & Claim (Click to see larger image) Visit the 15 Days of Christmas event page which you can do so by clicking here or you may find it under the "Play" section in the navigation bar. On that page you will see the total amount of holiday gifts that you have to place (#1 in image) as well as the current day of the event (#2 in the image). Next you will see greyscale gift boxes labeled Day 1-15. If you have holiday gifts that are available to be placed then click on the gift box of the day you would like to place it on, once you do then you will place 1 holiday gift on that day and the greyscale gift box should become full of color. You will also notice that the 0 in the top right of that day will increase by 1 with each click and that you will be unable to place anymore on that day once 5 holiday gifts are placed there. This number is the amount you will receive in your travel bag of that day's item. Remember, these items are exclusive and will NEVER be released again. Another thing to take note of is that you cannot place Holiday Gifts on the current day or days of the event that have already passed, so be sure to place all your gifts before the event stars so you won't miss out (#3 in image). We encourage you to open your gifts and claim your items each day, but if you miss a day, then no worries, you can still claim them at any time. When you claim an item, it is marked as claimed and also shows you the item image instead of the gift box (#4 in image). Lastly, the border will turn green for each day that has passed and also the current day of the event (#5 in the image), this as well as the current day count (#2 in the image) helps you to keep track of things. Step 4 - Enjoy & Thank you for your support! We hope this information helps everyone understand the event a bit better. Thank you for supporting Cybura and we hope you enjoy! P.S. Be sure to login on Christmas day to receive some free goodies! View full news

So sorry about that! Just glad it was caught quickly. But glad it made your day, but let's not let that happen again. Thank you so much! Glad to have you as a member! And on another note, TGL didn't notify me of these. ^ ^'

*exhales* Oh boy, do I have some news for you! I am just trying to figure out where to start... *searches through papers* Lets see... erm... Ah! Here we go! Let's start with this one! It appears that there has been quite a big update for Personal Communicators, This update should have already downloaded and installed on your PC if you are able to read this update. But lets go over the update a bit shall we? Good. So, I am sure at some point in time you have seen a name of another citizen on your PC and decided to click on it and see where it takes you, only to find out that it doesn't take you very far, in fact, it doesn't take you anywhere. Well, the first part of this update fixed that problem, clicking on the name of a citizen will now lead you to the profile of that citizen where you can find interesting information about them and even leave a comment, wonderful right? More info on this update below. Clicking on a player's username will lead you to their profile. (Click to see larger image) You can find some useful things on a profile like a link to message the user, see their swaps, shop, showroom, etc. And you can also leave a comment on their profile. Exciting, exciting indeed. But moving along to the next PC update... Friends. How many of us have them? You know, the ones we can depend on?... okay I will stop now. OTL But anyways, you can now befriend other citizens and stalk them! Hurray for Stalking! More details below. (Click to see larger image) You can send a friend request to a player from their profile. Players would have to first accept the request before being officially added to your list. Friends list shows which friends are online and which are offline. You can see how many total friends are online in the top icon bar. Now, onto the last part of the PC portion of the update, since we have much to cover! There is now a notification system installed that will keep you notified of activity that takes place regarding yourself. See details below of what I mean. Notifications appear automatically without the need of you manually reloading the page. If an action occurs that there is already an icon in the top bar that will notify you, then you will only receive a notification through this system if you are online and the notification will disappear after a few second. However if there is not already an icon to notify you of the specific action then you would need to manually dismiss the notification. *wipes forehead* Phew, three updates down and a few more to go. So... I am sure if you participated in the Halloween event or received your rewards for donating to the fundraiser, then your travel bag is a bit weighed down, or maybe even full, and I am sure you are getting quite the workout by lugging it around all day... Sheesh! So, you should be pleased to know that you may now place some of those items into storage. And of course, more info below. (Click to see larger image) Players can store items by visiting their travel bag and clicking on the item they wish to store. Storage starts with a max capacity of 24 slots and just like the travel back, you may stack items that are the same to save space. What now? Well now... now it's time to PARTY! And no, I am not talking about that upcoming Christmas party you may be looking forward to, or possibly even dreading. But party as in a group, you and three other citizens can now form a party of up to four. Now, since we are in the ACZ, there is no fighting allowed here, but it will have it's other perks. See details below. (Click to see larger image) Players can form parties of up to four. Parties will display each players active character as well as the companion team of that character and other useful things. Parties will only have one leader and players can leave at any time. Parties will allow you to receive notifications about certain activity regarding the other player's character. Parties will have it's benefits for battle like an EXP boost for example, but also, during site events the entire party's luck will increase. You can form a party by clicking the party icon on a players profile, if they are not already in a party. If you are already in a party then you must be the party leader in order to invite new players to the party. Inactivity greater than 10 minutes will automatically kick you from the party. And what can be more exciting than a party? Well, how about your very own companion? Yup, you heard me right. The council has determined that every new citizen should travel with at least one companion at all times, so Prof. Osmond has taken it upon himself to provide an egg to all new citizens and better yet, it's ready to hatch! Make sure you head over to his lab to grab yours at the earliest! Make this your mission! Details. Down. Below. (Click to see larger image) (Click to see larger image) (Click to see larger image) Players will receive their very first mission as well as their first companion. Follow the mission information to trigger the mission event. Follow through the event and choose your first companion. After you have chosen your companion, the hatching process will begin. Remain active on the site for 30 minutes to hatch your egg. More than 10 minutes of inactivity will make your timer reset so be careful not to be inactive for too long. When your egg hatches, you will be able to provide a name for your new companion. Companions will have randomly generated colors and 1-3 markings of a random opacity. This is only the case (randomness) for your starter companion. It's that time of year again and this year Cybura is having it's first Christmas event, 15 Day of Christmas! Now, before we go any further, we would like to state that Cybura is a large game and with the server, quality of art and even programming in some areas, things become costly. So, with that said, the 15 Days of Christmas event is part of our fundraiser, however, players who cannot afford to contribute financially to Cybura should still login on Christmas day to receive a little gift. For players interested in participating in the event, it will run for 15 days starting December 21, 2017. Each day a new prize will be revealed and it is possible for you to obtain up to 5 copies of that item. These items will be event restricted and only for this year, so they won't be released ever again in the future. A day before the event begins you will be able to activate and place your Holiday Gifts on your desired day and can place up to 5 Holiday Gifts on each day. Holiday gifts come in packs of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30, visit our fundraiser to claim yours. There will be another update going into more details about the event within the next two days, so keep an eye out! Lastly, I leave you with this list of the more minor updates: 1. All Alpha art is done for top icon nav bar. A couple more icons may be added for beta but it's pretty much final. (Click to see larger image) 2. Added Tool tips for profile icons, notification nav, and for each color of character creation with the name of what you are customizing. 3. Inactivity now logs you out after 10 minutes. 4. Players who have donated for a prize tier have received their founder trophy which is displayed on their profile. All fundraiser rewards have been handed out, so if a player doesn't have theirs then they should get in contact at the earliest. 5. Telepathy is a skill, always meant to be one unlocked, and the time has come to where it is now locked to all players until they fulfill the required conditions to unlock it. Telepathy is a character skill meaning once you unlock, it is only unlocked for your active character, you must replay the mission with other characters to unlock for them. You can be pinged but not ping other players without the skill. 6. Characters have been reset, giving the players the opportunity to fix any mistakes that were made during the initial release. This should be the last reset before official Alpha launch. View full news

@PepperMint Thanks for your interest! Q: Will all data be removed from an account with alpha access when going into Beta, and will Beta access require an additional purchase? A: Not all data, we plan to keep the things that will be reset at a minimum. And no, puchasing Alpha access also gives you access to Beta. Q: Will data be wiped from an account with Beta access when going into full production? A: See above answer, all your items, specially and paid features will remain untouched unless otherwise stated. If certain items or prizes will be reset, we will notify users with their release. Q: What are your main plans for the future? A: Please expand on this question.

"Hello Citizens! Things are moving along. I know it has been a bit of time since our last bulletin board update but we want the best for the citizens of our realm, so rushing resulting in low quality work is just not an option." Well, that is the message that the officials wanted me to include in this post, so there it is, I did my duty... >.> But now, onto the exciting news! So, first on the menu, we hear that the realms are making it a requirement that all Citizens carry a photo ID card of themselves on hand at all times. So you probably should start that diet that you have been planning to start tomorrow... The officials are allowing those citizens who hold an Alpha pass to have priority access before it actually becomes a requirement for all citizens... so... better get to it while there are no waiting lines! Check below for more info. Note: Character creation event will only trigger for users with Alpha access. (Click to see larger image) Choose your character's sex. (Click to see larger image) Completely customize your character! It's that spooky time of year again, and there are strange things happening as we get closer to that certain day. There are reports of people going missing in the Haunted Forest and there is no trace of them to be found.... only... their Trick or Treat Bucket. Officials are investigating this matter and suggests that citizens stay away from that forest for now until they solve the case. So yeah, you should probably take heed but... those buckets could be filled with goodies... *cough* but no, don't listen to your greedy mind! Safety comes first! Officials are not sure if this is just some sort of sick trick or not, but, they aren't laughing! Read on for more info on the incident. Note: Event is triggered by posting or replying to a discussion in the forums, there is a minimum character limit require to trigger the event but in order to try and limit spam, we will not mention the exact amount. (Click to see larger image) 1. Search the image to find the hidden and then click on it to claim your prize. The opacity and location varies, sometimes it will be easy and other times it may take a bit of searching. Have fun! 2. If you just cannot find that little bucket and have had enough, then you may click the "Finish" button located at the bottom right of the screen. You will lose your chance at a prize this time, but at least you can rest your mind and eyes haha. (Click to see larger image) After locating the ToT bucket then be sure to have a look inside by clicking the larger version and you will either get nothing or get a neat item. Here are the possible prizes, the last two being the more rarer ones. Alright! The results are in for the Roleplay Buffet that was hosted a few months back and here is a list of the users who filled their belly the most, and their prizes! 1st: $50 Cash or 50 Royal Tokens 3-Color Cube (x1) Random Species Egg (x1) Gold Travel Bag (x1) Winner: @TheIronPoet (142 Points) 2nd: 15 Royal Tokens 2-Color Cube (x1) Purple Travel Bag (x1) Winner: @Azuna (71 Points) 3rd: 5 Royal Tokens Single Color Cube (x1) Green Travel Bag (x1) Winner: @Lunar_Redux (42 Points) Congrats to you all and we hope you enjoy your prizes! And thank you for everyone who participated! Okay, so what else do we have on the list, let's see *rustles through some papers*... Ah! There it goes! So, it seems that Prof. Osmond has restricted the access of the breeding simulator to those citizens who hold an Alpha pass only. No information was given as to what brought about this change but we are thinking the officials had a hand in it... I hear that there are lots of new things in the works for those who hold an Alpha pass, so it probably would be a good idea to get one if you have a little spare change lying around. I hear the realms have added an option to the fundraiser for those of you interested in the pass only and not any of the other rewards offered. So, be sure to check it out! Also, while you are there, you will notice that there is a tier that offers a Purple Travel Bag as a reward, now what is this you ask? Well, you already have a travel bag, but this travel bag is an upgrade to a bigger one! It should definitely come in handy if you were to... I don't know... come across an abandoned ToT Bucket or something. *cough* (Ooo Shiiinyyyy...) To upgrade your travel bag after you have acquired one of these items, post a reply to the Travel Bag Upgrade Thread! And last but certainly not least, here is a note from our Officials in regards to some more things that have happened: "Things Updated: - Added Reply Count for discussions. - Fixed Messaging Bug of not being able to read messages. - Fixed Messaging Bug of new messages showing up at the bottom. - Temporary Characters & Companions cleared. - Character Background text sent to inbox of users who filled it out so they won't lose their hard work. - Temporary Citizen Info Update Section removed from BIO page. - Previous Sub-Replies have been cleared. - Layout navigation bar hover color changed. - Breeding Simulator link added to navigation bar as a dropdown link under "Play" section of navigation bar - Travel Bag now a dropdown link under "Play" section of navigation bar". Enjoy! Until next time! View full news

Events... These are what our lives are mostly made up of. Even if you are the realm's biggest couch potato, you'd be telling an obvious lie if you said you've never experienced an event... Heck, even to be reading this update right now, you've had to experience some type of event, whether that was becoming a permanent citizen or choosing the realm you wish to reside in or maaany other countless possibilities. But one thing is certain, if you are that couch potato that would dare to swear you've never experienced an event, your life is about to change... you will experience many events in the world of Cybura, so much to do, so many people to meet, and unexpected things to happen!

Once an event is triggered, you must complete the even until you see the "Finish" button, or else the event will not complete. So... Are you starting to realize that you have indeed experienced an event before in your lifetime? I mean... even this is considered an event, wouldn't you say? Anyways, the next thing on the list of things I am paid by sponsors to tell you is that Prof. Osmond has released his Breeding Simulator, yup, the one we mentioned in the last update, and it's pretty neat! You should see for yourself! Submit your data to us by replying to this topic and get a nifty prize! 1. Select the parent species & customize them by changing colors and adding markings. (Click to see larger image) 2. Click the "Simulate" button and view three of the possible offspring from the pairing. (Click to see larger image) 3.

Just wondering if doing a patreon for an in-development pet/SIM game helps much at all. What is your personal thoughts on a patreon for a pet/SIM game and would you personally donate? Any tips? Any current pet/SIM games with patreons started for them? EDIT:: And what do you think is needed to have a successful patreon for these types of game? Item rewards?

Haha, glad to have you onboard and really hope you enjoy your stay. Next update is coming soon btw.

Who is the owner of this?! AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH! JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL!

@Nova Thanks for letting me know! I will check into the redirect issue.

@VelvetVixie Alrighty, feel free to send me a message there, username: Cybura Also, just out of curiosity, did you make your current TGL forum avatar yourself?

@VelvetVixieThis is why we need testers haha, you should be all good now. @Nova You may want to try again as well, I deleted your account since it appears you were affected by the issue as well.

@VelvetVixie I see now, we are working on the breeding so some species and avatar related things have changed, it should be all fixed now, however your account wasn't properly created. I have deleted your account and you can re-register and everything should go well.

@VelvetVixie Probably due to the most recent edit to registration form. Your account was created however, so you may login with the information you've entered. Thanks for joining!
