CelestialEquine: Celestial Updates!

[TheGamingList]

Good Afternoon, CE players!

We have a quick update for you all regarding some development changes, new releases, and an updated development timeline. Keep reading to learn more!

ITEM UPDATES

One of our main focuses right now is to improve the economy of Celestial Equine. We have revised the "uses" for most wearables to increase usage of consumable items. For example, "Red Polos" previously had 100 uses, whereas now they have 10. These items are fairly common, but with over 6,000 in circulation, it is hard to establish any value. We will be releasing games that require certain items to "create" your own new item, so hopefully, this adds more value to common items! We also have quest modifications in the works, so hold tight!

Lastly, we have modified how many items are stocked in each Celestial shop at a time and will continue to adjust item rarity. In the meantime, it is very important to place items for sale in your shops! This will help kick-off item usage and participation in other activities.

BEAUTY CONTEST UPDATES

After a site-wide poll, we have adjusted the Beauty Contests to be judged each night! BC will be judged at midnight moving forward, so be sure to vote away! Prizes have also been increased to the following:

1st place - 75,000 coins to the player, 10,000 points to the horse

2nd place - 50,000 coins to the player, 7,000 points to the horse

3rd place - 10,000 coins to the player, 5,000 points to the horse

Remember, you also earn 1,000 coins and 100 points to the horse for each head to head your horse wins, so this activity is a great way to earn some coins! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

QUICK LINKS

We have added a link to "lore" from the quick links area on the news page for easier access to this area. Be sure to read up on the royal family, Celestial Background, and the first chapter! We will release a new chapter this Sunday.

SPOTLIGHT HORSES
Spotlight horses are finally here! Many of you have had questions around this new feature, so we would love to address them all in a news post. First, spotlight horse awards are given to horses with excellent stats (genetic, adjustable, and/or points), have a beautiful appearance, or simply stand out to a staff member. This award comes with a beautiful profile badge, name icon from the barn view, and can be searched for on the horse search area. This award should dramatically increase the value of his/her lineage and be a coveted prize.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES
Lastly, we have fallen a bit behind with the remaining development tasks we have outlined in previous news posts. We are in the process of resolving a few issues on the backend which has caused bugs with our admin panel. Though it is difficult to pump the brakes, we know it is very important to keep the admin panel in tip-top shape before working on new improvements. The following updates should be released by next Friday:
- Caps on breeding stats
- Foal error post-breeding (foal will go to whoever sent in breeding request)
- Battle Modifications

That wraps up our news update! Let us know what you think in the comments!

Thank you,
CE Staff
