Winter Changelog

• As is very obvious without having to say anything in text, a large event is being planned and is very close to being deployed! Due to unplanned IRL issues (current events, illness, hardware issues), however, the Winter Festival as it is normally known is currently a mess! 🎊 A smaller changelog is under way, fixing up some things while the event becomes more feasible.
• The Dragon Sighting Winter Prompt has not been launched with the others, as it is intended to be thematic with current events most years!
  I've shown my friends the placeholder to keep its code in the system correct, it looks very haunted.
  It will be out with the event!
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over, and the Raiding Season is back, but with a twist? Something odd has been happening with the forms of the gigafauna, you'll get extra points for participating in checking this out.
  NOTE: RAIDING SEASON MAY STAY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, AS THIS IS CONSIDERED A BACKGROUND PLOT THREAD! Take your time, this is an in-between point so that the New Raids may change over naturally. (:
• COMING SOON: (IMAGE OF MAGS HITTING AN ART PROGRAM WITH A HAMMER IMAGE OF MAGS HITTING A NSKANETIS WITH A HAMMER) ITS REALLY GOING

• MANTICORES have had their genes made a little more available! Some genes were moved up in the availability bracket, it was made clearer that things not allowed as genes can be made as costume parts, AND there are now several caveats that can cure ailments on manticores (especially for lower-level issues), such as adding a Mymber Heart Valve, using a Medic, or Anareizh's Enchanted Scarf. Horseman Heart under consideration. Manhorse?
• MANY GENES had minor updates. Any of the following genes can be updated on an already-uploaded Ixi in regular design updates without an item as long as you're just updating these (little touchups can be done to the rest of the design but should be very minor and stay true to the original shape, if they don't, you'll need an item, sorry!) Just mention "Winter 2026 Gene Update" or similar as proof in the comment.
• Unders had its dom range returned from prelaunch and updated to fit the current design and all bases! It's also on Tan!
• Accents had its range expanded to be closer - but not exact - to Unders and Tan. The primary difference is the Accents range leans less on the neck and more on the shoulders while covering the entire tail.
• Minimal Markings is now available in any color, to replace Small Accents.
• Stained Glass has been upgraded to be able to make Glass Markings similarly to how Lunar was upgraded to be able to make Galactic Markings.
• Dominant Koi has an optional presentation of Inverted Koi, and Dominant Tortoiseshell has an optional presentation of Inverted Calico (not a typo), both of which can change the base coat to a base coat of the user's choosing, and add an inbuilt common mark, a gradient-like mark for Koi, an unders-like mark for Tortie (modified to be a white mark in most cases), with the usual spots in place. These are both optional, and the "normal" presentation of Dominant Koi/Tortoiseshell has also been upgraded to simply allow any color and any amount of colors.
• Procyonid now at minimum needs to be present in the facemask and tail, not all points. Tail marking requirements loosened. 
• Labyrinth has had a minor textual update to clarify some additional sources of inspiration that work for the gene such as circuitboards, specific ball python morphs with thin markings, and literal mazes | Flourish has had a minor textual update to clarify that simply using a gradient is allowed.
• COMING SOON: Cloak and Daggerstabbed (a combination that alters the range of the two, I have a starter/NPC planned that utilizes it); easy removal of Ghost (item art in the works); hair metal design pack for manticores with some jellicle inspo; more dom common ranges (i only had Unders on hand to copy easily)

• While trying to test things on the lorekeeper to sort out bugs, we found that like all the installed core addons were off.
• they're on now.
• If any of the add-on changes don't work well, please feel free to let us know. I did deactivate a couple again due to them just not being relevant. thanks

Be with you soon on the event, and once again, I'm sorry for IRL getting in the way, the event was genuinely very feasible when being planned at first. If you see anything marked "fall" or even "spring" or "summer", please let me know.

PLEASE TAKE THIS EMOTIONAL BOOST FROM ROY AND THORIANE AS AN APOLOGY FOR THE DELAY.

Hoping yall are hanging in there, take good care.

It might be very guessable that current events have delayed things, especially if I tell you that some personal things were happening before the main current events going on. This is VERY IRRITATING to me as far as missing deadlines go because things were very doable as hell before there was a chaos tipping point again.

WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS THERE WILL BE A WINTER ROLLOVER TO AVOID DELAYING THAT FURTHER, SORRY. Delaying it this long was not intended, things were a lot more on track than this before everything snowballed personally and overall. Event prep WILL still take place, there's just things to focus on, need to make sure that chaos is under control.

CHANGELOG WILL BE WITH WINTER, updated several genes (almost entirely text but not exclusively), hope it'll help!

Sorry again for the delay. Really didn't expect this many personal and major things. I kinda expect many of you didn't either. Take care, okay?

MAJOR EVENT UPCOMING

BUT ALSO SMALL WINTER ROLLOVER DELAY. INTENDED WINTER ROLLOVER: DECEMBER 28TH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE SORRY FOR MY SCHEDULE BEING SKEWED BY MY LAPTOP BEING OUT HALF THE MONTH

_{longer version: okay i've been trying to be chipper about this so as to not do drama but i have to go through all the news since the start of chasmhome to do lorelog, and i've been seeing that every news post for about 2 years now has been me saying that i'm sick or in the hospital or in surgery and trying to hit deadlines anyways.}

_{back when i was this sick at the start of chasmhome, i took a hiatus from b-nomaly. seeing as i'm working to get off a hiatus, i'm not doing that. i just am against crunch so i need to be honest that this isn't drama, it's being normal}

Thanks, see you soon!

- Anarchie

UPDATE DECEMBER 28TH:

my cords and tablet have been taking a beating from all the other hardware nonsense lately and having to yoink things around and i probably should have seen that coming. it's normal wear and tear from everything else but it's shitty timing.

i intentionally use a cheap model of tablet for replaceability and i managed to find it on a site that i had a gift card loaded on so please just give me a moment, thanks! hopefully will take a week or so tops. siren is letting me borrow hers when possible but she has things to do as well.

thanks, love yall, happy holidayssss

I am TERRIBLY SORRY for my awkward absence, I was meaning to do an update on some things and uhhh, my laptop has been under repairs, very awkwardly right in the middle of me updating some code. =D???

QUICK UPDATE BECAUSE MY HORSE (LAPTOP) NEEDS TO GET BACK TO THE VET

• MAJOR UPDATE: PSD storage moved from the magmatixi stash to the Rixixi Admin Google Drive. The stash is still there! It just will no longer be updated. There are also some concept arts and old prelaunch PSDs on the drive that are available to look at/mess with. The prelaunch PSDs can't be used ingame (if you wanted to use them for a relevant aexent form it's fine??) but you can do what you want with them otherwise. I've also included some of my personal edits, and uploaded the companion skins that require permissions to use in case anyone lose the stash files to those- they DO still require permissions. Be cool. (:
• EMAIL WORKS. THIS TOOK SO LONG I'M SO SORRY
• The Currency Swap prompt has been expanded to allow MORE SWAPS. I hope this helps!
• Code fixed so that prompts can take more items, which makes item compression more viable (:
• A barter for an autumn harvest was added mid-november, due to its late addition this will likely be swapped out when my laptop gets back. I am hoping I do not regret this decision (:
• Nav page cleaned up a bit, About page cleaned up a bit.
• Cleared out the spambots for real this time (:
• Tried so hard to fix the bugs. Didn't! Narrowed down the problems. Will work more on this later.
• KNOWN PROBLEMS:
  Temporary stats aren't appearing correctly.
  Bug involved causes the parameter to reset to default whenever entered. Kind of fascinating.
  Companions are cacheing past names and so re-adding a companion of the same species won't work. I thought we fixed this (: Trying to figure out why the fix stopped, in the meantime, cleared the cache of deleted companions. I don't know
  The items are so fuck. I love mess.
  Items can be ADDED normally. Items CANNOT BE DELETED without the use of the backend. Items WILL NOT BE LOGGED AS DELETED. Items, if RENAMED, will create a new item, and NOT LOG AS EDITED OR DELETED. Our test user is named Missingno and I think I brought this on myself. Gave Missingno 99 Whatevers.
• I can fix most of these issues on the backend manually when I have my laptop. It's just a little tedious. If you want to report bugs on the site (there's the little ⚠ button) or on the discord, you can, it just will take me a bit due to laptop. Otherwise, I'll keep looking into what's causing these.

Was hoping to finish the lore log and updating the chrono page before putting this up but I'm not sure that's viable. Probably going to pick more at the lore log before sending this thing back in.

BNOM.

THE S-OLSTICE PROMPT IS UP AND GRANTS A MUTANT MYO WHEN COMPLETED! IT RUNS UNTIL MID-JANUARY

I'm really hoping to actually be able to do the winter art on time but also I am yelling very loudly :U

Okay I'm going to scramble around some more and try to get things going I am very sorry for the chaos lol. aaa.
EDIT BEFORE I TURN MY LAPTOP IN: Lorelog is up to Fall Fest 2023, the page is very image heavy and I'll improve the loading when I don't have a time constraint. enjoy the wip

...did anyone notice that the last 2 news dates were incorrectly written? i'm uh... going to leave it, actually. does anyone want proof i was Really Tired? here you go lmao

Multispecies News

Several pages on Nsk Net are getting a makeover! This is a work in progress and I'm really hoping to get it significantly more done by Halloween. Here's the progress so far.

• Accented and the rules page - Aexent can now take the skill. However, as Aexent already have Aex mutagen, they do not actually need to supply the prompt. Aexent can add additional forms through the Aexented prompt and will be granted the Favored Form skill if it's ever needed to be known for a prompt that the extra form is the same Aex.
  Yes, there is an obvious loophole here that makes Aexented forms really easy. I'm not stating it outright but if you notice it, I'm not stopping you.
  Page needs wording cleanup now that there are 3 species using it, otherwise is fine. You can use this, it's good to go! Examples of Favored Forms in use are ANARCHIE-003 and VILES-004 (retroactively on the last one, but it works by the current rules)
• The Rules Page actually has our standards for mature content listed clearly now. The rules page is somewhat under construction to alter wording that was not updated to fit the move to Lorekeeper, but this has been mostly handled. also discussion of IRL crime and cannibalism is no longer banned and falls under being a heavy subject like everything else; just be so normal okay
• The Nav page on Nsk Net is being updated to have more useful and obvious information, such as the rules being in a really obvious place, offsite links and rollovers being listed, etc. PLANNED UPDATES: The import links being consolidated because that's taking up so much space, and similar consolidation to this. Losing more dA links; they probably can be archived rather than used. Where are the Chasm Fae and Chrono links?
• I have been chipping at the Lore Log further! It's currently in the middle of IHFY at time of writing! Sorry that it's not done, I really want it to be. I might make it a bit slapdash at first from here on and then go back to make it pretty.

B-NOMMABLES

If you hadn't seen, there's a free raffle up with three available B-NOMALIES!

The info is easiest to read HERE at the Weasyl post, and I'll just link you there since the text is a bit long, but the tl;dr is:

You can enter at THIS PROMPT

Until the end of NOVEMBER 2ND, 2025

for a free chance at one of these B-NOMALIES:

ICE CREAM SANDWICH

CANDY MISTAKE

CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFF

Apologies that the news is going up a bit after the raffle, uh

☢ Anar:chasm: ☢ — 18:27
its fridge werewolf october baybeeeeeeee (i eat my own fridge)

IRL happened (fridge broke)

ANYWAYS I'll catch you soon with more stuff, hopefully? See ya.

Fall Changelog

• LIKE WINTER, We do not have a starter or new genes this rollover. Sorry! We are chilling for a bit.
• A quick note on the event prompts: The Endless Night and Trick or Treat events are copied from the original Fall 2018 Festival. This was to stay on theme with the Winter event.
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over. Those of you watching Anarchie learn to add this into the roller know this is referred to as "mushrooter" and "bigpig" in the code. You're welcome.

Bonus Changelog (multispecies)

• i don't know i just added a bunch of things that were supposed to be done ages ago since this took forever sorry!
• Fridge Werebun is active, come and get your bun, draw a Fridged Bun to get a Fridge Parasite for your Bun. Happy Halloween. Fridge. Bun.
• TREAT FOR TRICK active, go give your favorite abomination a rock.
• SORRY FOR THE DELAY ON THIS!! Horseman Heart, when equipped with Hypnotic Disguise, allow a 100% custom import as long as it is warped, cursed, haunted, or otherwise suggests "something from the outer reaches of the cosmos grabbed this briefly". The full rules on what isn't allowed (such as background edits and sexual content) and "a haunted expression" factually counting for looking warped are all listed on the Horseman Heart item, and the Hypnotic Disguise item links back to it.
• Adoption Center Freebies for Newbies have FINALLY had their genes increased! They now match a basic Semicustom with 4 common, 2 uncommon, and 2 mutations, just RNG this time. ANYONE WHO HAD A NEWBIE FREEBIE BEFORE NOW can optionally add 1 common, 1 uncommon, and 2 mutations at design approval or by updating the import's design from the Lorekeeper profile - this costs no additional items but if you could cite the Fall 2025 update, it would help to keep track.
• Pride All Year real this time. I actually intentionally added it to the prompt library, where you can enter off-season Pride art, and if you want, send in art for next year's collab early. The full reward is reduced to that of regular Prompt Library is all, this is mainly for fun if you're not submitting early.
• Due to the late Fall launch right after the semi-hiatus, a couple of extra things are going on with the prompts to make up for the lag. Cat and Mjilikae and Myrk's Seasonal Sale are both active until their natural cycle in January to make up for lost time. Lunar is accepting any of the seasonal rare drops, and along with pilfering Myrk's shop, can return any season's starter slots (Chasm Egg Shop should have all of these listed in 'Special Starters and Seasonal Starters' - some of those are event starters, if you can't tell, try looking for a seasonal Festival background, only the 2018-2019 Primals have a different one as far as Festival Ixi go), and also as a semi-related note I'm probably going to be using Lunar photos in the rolls as a shorthand because I have a lot that make for funny replies and it makes it easy to go off of. Fang's Fogshard Barter is active until its natural cycle in February.

Coming Soon

• oh fuck non-exhaustive list of what i can remember fast GO.
• Now that I'm actually learning to code I will be unstoppable soon I guess (planning to try some more roller updates soon. did do some basic css and wording updates but that's mostly useful for me)
• Still working on the log of all the past lore/events in one place!
• Three?
• Update the Chrono Shard list including that all of 2025 so far (and part of 2024) has no chrono shards (as in, new genes) going on and can be rerolled when the date shows up.
• Add new genes. Okay, silly after that last one but I genuinely wanted to add some interactions and run through some easy mutations and templates that were left behind before going back to proper genes. And THEN we add new genes. Just adding this as to what the plan is here.
• Art speed willing, I'm planning a free raffle of a couple low-Anarchic-trait B-NOM solely because i wanted to use the pun "B-NOMMABLES" and draw food-themed raffle buns clambering out of a wrapper. Hopefully before Halloween so I can get in on candying that bun. More soon!
• the people keep telling me to cook with uranium in chasmhome and junia monster truck won't let me

- Anarchie

"anar did you backdate the news and the banner" i wa s typing a long time (: like for 2 weeks

the banner is to be useful as to when the astronomical season is, actually. i just wanted to make that joke

Apologies for the delay on the Fall season swap. Minor family emergency combined with laptop having been under repairs just a few days ago.

Doing roll catchup and looking into a code thing between family thing. Be right back.

Ketixi Update

KETIXI WILL NO LONGER BE DUAL SIDED AND HAVE TO BE UPLOADED ONLY ONE SIDE, OR MANUALLY POSTED TO BOTH SIDES

I can't get your Ketixi over there. If Ketucari decides to make a different decision it is on their side. B-NOMALIES with Godkiller Face and Hands cannot be made freshly. Ketixi genos that do not already exist will not be newly made.

All Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES that are uploaded can still be played with.

• what about item counts

item additions from rixixi are free on ketixi

• you don't like retiring things

yep.

• what happened

yep.

• if i just make one on my own as a concept or npc is that cool

i literally cannot stop you but you cannot play with it

• ketixi are just vaporeons

i miss 2005 too

• isnt tomorrow your birthday

i miss 2005 less now

BEING NORMAL AND WRITING A CHANGELOG A HALF HOUR BEFORE I DROP OFF MY COMPUTER FOR REPAIRS AND GO IN FOR SURGERY LETS GO!!!

• As you can tell from the above, Anarchie will be AFK for a bit due to recovering from surgery. I'm going to be bored and won't be gone long.
• My computer is mostly fine and needs the fan repaired, that won't be a major time sink. It's going in for repairs while I'm in for repairs to sync up timing. I'm not going in for repairs it's gender based this is a bad joke...
• PRIDE'S ACTUAL DEADLINE, FINALLY, SINCE IT WAS EXTENDED TO "WHEN THE HIATUS ENDS", IS SET TO SEPTEMBER 15TH. This should be long enough for surgical recovery? If something goes wrong I'll update. If you have very late Pride ideas go ahead and send them in. Pride all year. There is an actual idea for Pride All Year, setting it to an optional RXX Prompt Library item in the off season, but if you actually want it in the current collab set, this is the deadline.
  The Pride collaborations have been archived on Toyhouse, easiest found under Roy's character page.
• A list of past events is in progress! I've been noticing that lore is absolutely scattered nonsensically across dA and Lorekeeper and Nsk Net and I'm trying to fix that now. I've almost got everything from dA so far, it's up to Cat Country.
• I need to finish figuring things out fully, and write up a full post, but the Ketixi page has been heavily updated with where to post things - there'll be a full update on this but in the meantime, there's more info for you, the players.
• IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH VERIFICATION, SIGNUP, OR ANYTHING SIMILAR, COULD YOU PLEASE TRY AGAIN AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS? Our email service was off and I believe I've fixed it. I'm very sorry!
• The Sales tab has been hidden due to trying to avoid hassle with payment processors. It is extremely unlikely that Having Sales Mentioned On The Site would be a problem but with how often the goalposts are moved on this, and with how it was mentioned that this could possibly be an issue if people were absolutely desperate to find one, I'm just going to turn sales off? I don't know just don't pay me on Chasmhome? ???
• In the meantime, sales are going to be moved to Toyhouse and likely Ko-Fi, and will likely be advertised on the galleries that the adoptables are posted on. Apologies if this is annoying, I am intending to keep communications open on as many sites as possible if I'm not using Chasmhome for it. I don't know just pay me where it's someone else's problem. This is so weird. I'm not going to hold back on saying that.
• As a reminder, other places to find Chasmhome:
  TOYHOUSE WORLD | BLUESKY OFFICIAL HUB | TUMBLR OFFICIAL HUB (not actively updated, nice archive)
• This was mainly mentioned on the Discord and I do not want to rehash it any more than very briefly: Please do not send personal drama to the Chasmhome/Magmatixi/B-NOMALY Labs/other official accounts. Those are effectively the business emails of Chasmhome. Asking if you have a penalty on your account because you don't know/can't remember is fine. Sending interpersonal drama that isn't about Chasmhome is not for this inbox.
• I'm forgetting something and have to go ASAP why did I do this. 

help

see you post-surgery

News affects all species

Hey, I'm sorry if this sounds alarming, but I have to take a soft hiatus, in general - I'm going to be on social media and discord less while I do this. The thing is, by soft hiatus I mean soft, I'll be checking in and doing rolls, and I kind of hope that being on social media less will actually give me more time for rolls, so calling it a hiatus might sound weird. I'll just be less personally available is the thing, but I'll be around. I'm really sorry for the trouble.

PRIDE IS BEING LEFT OPEN UNTIL THE HIATUS IS OVER BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE TRYING TO CALCULATE THE END DATES TO MATCH EACH OTHER. I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW WHEN I'M COMING BACK SO YOU KNOW IT'S CLOSING UP SOON OKAY

there's a plan to move off-season pride to the prompt library because Pride All Year was way too fitting to not keep as a real thing after it accidentally happened. anyways

Possible questions that might come up:

• Did something happen?

yes and i really don't want to get into it but the tl;dr is i'm pulling back because i need my friends not to be harassed because of stupid drama that doesn't involve them. i'm not doing that.
if someone bothers you please let me know so i can send that IP to the shadow realm too.

• When are you coming off hiatus?

couple of weeks probably i'm just catching up and chilling.

• I think I found your... vacation account... 👀

i wasn't very subtle with it but like maybe don't post it publicly all the same. you can dm me about it if you want??? :V i'm trying to keep it low on people so i might say no and just no offense i am just trying to be chill.

I'll be around, sorry if I'm not around immediately to answer something, but I'll be here, okay? Take care.
