Hello! We have some

Multispecies NEws

Major Breeding Update!

Breeding for all breedable species (Rixixi, B-NOMALY, and Mechanix) has been moved off dA! An info page can be found here, and a general prompt can be found here! If any info is unclear, please let me know - most of the information is copied straight from the dA pages and so I may have missed something that needed touching up. Everything should be the same for the most part other than consolidating the info into one page and moving the prompt, though.

Rixixi and B-NOMALY can now crossbreed as of this update! Information on that can be found at this page! To crossbreed, you'll need a breedable Ixi and a B-NOM (or slots), and a breeding ticket for the B-NOM! Not all genes are available, some will not pass if it doesn't exist on the other species, while some genes just pass as something else that's similar - this is detailed on the linked page!

With this update,  B-NOMALY NPCs can officially be used in any breeding freely, but the resulting eggs will not be considered canon for them!

As a note related to breeding, as Rixixi will be transferred to the site soon (and their breeding comments with them), dA breeding comments will still be considered valid and will be mirrored on-site!

A known bug:

The default character order in each user's own character page seems to have been randomized somehow. We're not sure how this happened, but we're looking into it. In the meantime, if this isn't something you're okay with or if you just want to sort your characters, you can manually sort your characters at this page!

Other:

Apologies for the mood drop, but we would like to remind Chasmhome players to be kind to each other - this goes for your fellow players as well as interactions between players and admins. Please show respect for others, including things like differences in cultural backgrounds and gender presentation/identity. If there is a concern, you can reach out to us. We would like this to be a welcoming place for all sorts of folks.

That's it for now! As a small heads up, I may be a bit scarce on the admin front for a short time as I focus on art - things have been chaotic and stressful for a bit and I haven't had time to work on things I need to do as much as I'd like. Thanks, see you soon with more!

Update Nov. 22:

Just a quick update, so I'm using trhe same news post!

• The Leyline-Connected Achievement is now up! Completing the Leyline-Connected prompt or completing any IHFY event prompt with both a B-NOMALY and a Rixixi will grant the achievement to both the Rixixi and the B-NOMALY! Starters/NPCs can be used for this (and may be useful if you don't have both a Rixixi and a B-NOMALY), but will not be granted the achievement.
• After some more testing, Seraph's Styling Station has been updated. Alt forms like Bunshifter forms no longer have to be put as a link, they do upload as a new image rather than replacing the main image.

Happy Halloween! Here's some

I'm Here For You

IHFY's intermission just launched! There was a separate post about it, over here! The intermission doesn't have its own prompt, it's just additional plot, but chapter 3 is fully written and hopefully will be coming out soon! Check it out!

Additionally -  the achievement hasn't launched yet, as I haven't had time to make the art, but completing an IHFY prompt, including Leyline-Connected, with both a B-NOMALY and a Rixixi in the piece, will grant a specific achievement for that Rixixi and B-NOMALY! This achievement, when released, will be granted retroactively!

Chasm Fae

Chasm fae are now available as an alternate form for both Rixixi and B-NOMALY! Chasm fae have lore courtesy of iiixkitsunexiii and pawstepsinthesnow, and this lore and the design guide can be found here! While the guide is currently mirrored on Nsk Net, the main link may be moved somewhere else when Kitsu and Sian have it up somewhere of their choosing!

Chasm Fae have specific design requirements and require a Faery Circle item (this can be crafted with Rixixi items or purchased in the B-NOM Labs shop) - read up on them in the guide to see what you'll need!

Several Rixixi starters are fae, and their true forms will be linked to them shortly!

Comments on imports

Comments are on imports now, and breeding/achievements comments have been added to all B-NOMALIES! The following will be happening as a result of this:

• Breeding will be getting an overhaul to make it work better with Lorekeeper
• Breeding comments from dA will still be honored!
• Rixixi will be uploaded to the site soon!
• Rixixi/B-NOMALY breeding will be possible soon!

Coming Soon:

• IHFY Chapter 3, and the Leyline-Connected achievement
• More Funerary, of course!
• Rixixi on site
• Breeding overhauls

Happy Halloween! Have a good Samhain!

Hey there! Today we have some

Multispecies News

Accented

Accented has been moved to Nsk Net and updated! It is also now open to B-NOMALIES as well as Rixixi! Bunshifter forms are now extremely open!

The rules on Aexented forms may be Rixixi-centric, as Accented was originally a Rixixi-only prompt. If you see anything specifying that Rixixi can do it, B-NOMALIES should still be able to do it, except for the rules on B-NOMALIES and Rixixi shifting into each other - those are still a bit specific. B-NOMALIES cannot shift into other B-NOMALIES with Accented, and Rixixi cannot shift into other Rixixi with Accented.

If you have a Rixixi with a B-NOMALY form, they should be properly linked soon!

B-NOM Sales post

Additionally, there's now a Chasmhome post for all B-NOMALIES currently available for sale! This post also acts as an orphanage - you can trade in B-NOMALIES that need a new home, and obtain tokens in return! Undesigned eggs are fine to trade in here!

Coming soon:

• Still working on IHFY and Funerary stuff! Hoping to have a few things out around Halloween! <:

See you soon!

Apologies for this news being late, was dealing with an IRL crisis

B-NOMALY and Rixixi news!

Rixixi News

Mostly new items and "new" items here!

Funerary fall items have been up for a few days!

• Forest Monarch Cape
• Harvest Sickle
• Fall Radiation
• Minion Crown
• Wisp Aura

And two new food items have been harvested!

• Drupe - fruits with pits
• Tropical Fruit - suggested by Fey !

B-NOMALY News

The Fridge Werebun prompt is active throughout October! Draw/write about your B-NOMALY as a Fridge Werewolf to get the Bunshifter: Fridge Parasite item! Due to this news being late, the prompt has been extended so that it goes a week into November!

While it's not time-limited, it's seasonally relevant - there's also a Trick or Treat prompt! Rixixi also has a separate (fall-only) Trick or Treat prompt that allows B-NOMALIES to enter, and it has been ruled legal to enter both of these prompts with the same piece if you're interested!

Lastly, there's some halloween adoptables going up! These will contain Rixixi traits that are being ported to B-NOMALY in anticipation of crossbreeding B-NOMS and Ixi! So far, Bloodstained Bun is up!

Coming Soon:

Things are a little hectic right now, so I don't have an ETA, but I'm hoping to really work more on IHFY this month!
Other than that, it's mostly the obvious Funerary Beta Updates and B-NOMs <: And of course that feature mentioned in a previous news post.

See you soon!

Rixixi News

Just a quick update on the Funerary Seasonal Items!

The summer items are up!

• Shimmerwing Cape
• Picnic Bandana
• Summer Radiation
• Coral Crown
• Beach Dust

Some Migraine Issues delayed the fall ones, they'll be out within the next week! See you soon with those!

Here's Rixixi's Fall Festival!

Pixie's neck frill stood tall. There was something... off about the woods tonight. Something suspicious. Turning, however, their look of dread turned quickly to a smirk.

"You headed to the party too, Lat?"

The black-and-red Funerary crept in the branches above them, head twisting unnaturally in what Pixie assumed was supposed to be a show of curiosity. Skittering between the trees, Latrodectus descended like a spider until they were almost eye-to-eye with the diminuitive 'Rixixi'. Holding eirself upside down between the boughs, Lat seemed to be pondering.

"I might be. I don't have much of a costume, however," Latrodectus mused. "Speaking of, do you think I should politely decline the Witches' request to come along? They always come as, ah... witches."

Pixie snorted. "You're literally a spider, and the Witches come with snacks. Don't sweat it. Now c'mon, we've got a rift to catch."

Fall Changelog

• Today's new starter is Latrodectus, a Funerary! Ey're a black widow spider.
• There's a hub on dA as usual!
• As previously mentioned, there aren't new seasonal items this year to make time for more updates. As a result, all past fall items are available in the Event prompts - there's a selection of three in Picking Pumpkins and Costume Party, and Fall Radiation is available as a bonus prompt in Endless Night.
• I realized that I forgot to put the Funerary summer items out at any point during summer, so I'm going to be working on doing Summer and Fall's seasonal items for Funeraries over a week of time! I can probably do this, as I already got one summer and one fall item prepped fairly quickly. If I can't get them done in 7 days' time, I'll post what I have done all at once and then just continue on for however long it takes.

I'll be rolling over the shop and everything else using seasonals either a bit later tonight or when I wake up! <:

Coming/Ending Soon

• As a reminder, the Semi Sale is still going until October 5th! We've got slots, Mechanix, and DIY kits as well!
• Something very cool is coming with an ETA Around Halloween! Expect more lore and another alt form item!

Suddenly, more news?

Rixixi News

Factions are now up in beta!

This is actually fairly major news! This is a feature I've been meaning to launch since the ARPG started!

To join a faction, your Rixixi has to have completed Main Quest Chapter 3! You can then head to the Join Faction prompt and pick your favorite! While you may want to read up on your choices a bit , as your Rixixi can only be in one faction at a time, you can change your faction - it costs 10 of your current faction's currency (this takes two tier 1 prompts or one tier 2 prompt to obtain). Additionally, factions are one per Rixixi, not one per user!

Factions currently grant:

• Boons for your Rixixi! This may be an extra loot drop, companion slot, radiation resistance, etc! The main boon differs between your chosen faction!
• The ability to obtain currency in Tier 1 faction barters, and the ability to partake in Tier 2 faction barters!
• A shop for your faction, with slots, a new mechanix chip, and some useful items!

As mentioned above, there are new Mechanix chips available! They're specific to each Faction, and have similar boons to each faction!

Regarding the shops - While faction currency is nontransferrable, the only items in them that are nontransferrable are the loot drops. This is because the loot drops can contain faction currency. Everything else is tradeable, and slots will be marked as such - please feel free to buy slots and items for your friends if you want!

Loot drops contain a variety of thematic items intended to be useful, and they do have the chance to roll contraband. They are eligible for Lootbox Hero. As well as appearing in the shops, they show up in tier 2 faction barters.

Coming in the future:

• Exclusive apparel for each faction! This may take the longest, as it has to be fitted to each subspecies!
• More Boons! I almost had 2 boons for each planned, but some of them couldn't actually exist until post-IHFY...
• More Shop Stock! The shops are a bit of a WIP right now! I just wanna add useful things to them. A couple more exclusive things may show up as well?

A thing I didn't want to bump off, and a thing I forgot:

September's Semi Sale is here! Just didn't want to lose that link or bump it off too soon!

Additionally, the item barters for September are Myrk's seasonal sale and Lunar's Cat and Mjilikae barter! Since these are favorites, I wanted to make note of it!

See y'all soon!

Rixixi news is here!

Rixixi News

September's Semi Sale went up yesterday! It'll be going until October 5! Sales here will be going towards keeping the site up, if we exceed a needed amount, it'll still be going to the ARPG <:

Mechanix are available for purchase as well! This is a new addition as of this semi sale. The only chip unavailable is Beta Tester.

The New Recruit is open for new entries during this time! If you have an existing entry, please finish that entry before making a new one or request to cancel the old one. Thank you!

Funerary Updates:

• RXX-NOMALY Funerary Mutations Pack has (partially) released! More X-NOM muts coming soon!
• Funerary Extra Masks Pack - for more premade masks!

Coming Soon:

• More Funerary (of course)!
• Factions in beta?? This may not happen at the next update, but it only needs some double-checking of things and uhhhh for the shops to actually be properly stocked v:

See you soon!

Mostly Rixixi News here!

Rixixi News

Funerary Updates

The following things have been released for Funerary:

• Funerary Mutation Pack #1 - Released in part, more mutations coming soon! Didn't want to delay this pack any longer.
• Tail Bags base

Coming up next is most likely more basic muts, X-NOM muts, and Problems! Apparel tied to a skill takes priority over apparel not tied to a skill.

New NPC

Nemo has arrived as an NPC! Including Nemo in an activity allows you to request any item that could roll in that activity. This item will roll, but replaces your main roll. (Pack Cats, Tail Bags, etc still roll.)

Nemo was fired from the AexLabs due to poor lab safety. He'll show up in a future event!

More (Multispecies):

Rules Ported

The Rixixi rules have been ported to the Lorekeeper and reworded to work as Chasmhome rules as a whole. They may be edited in the future to work better with the other species, but they have been edited a bit already. They now contain clarifications on timing-related rules as well (chasmjumping timing, kellas cat timing, monthlies, etc) because I just... didn't have a good place to put those all in one location otherwise V:

Coming Soon:

• More B-NOM adoptables! There's a set in the works based on carnivorous plants.
• Rixixi Semi Sale on September 5th!
