A new Main Story Chapter has just been released!

It will stay open until August 20th, 11:59PM BRT.


Following the majority of the votes on our latest poll, we'll be uploading the next Chapters on @NPCAmalthea's account, until customization is revoked, or we get a better alternative! Feel free to watch her, her account will have no side content other than the group's.


For your conveniency, we'll ping you via here whenever something new from the plot is released too, since some people voted for the group journals as well. We also have the Chapter Summary and recently released chapters linked on our sidebar to the right, on the group's homepage. There's no way you can miss our updates! :wink: rvmp


We hope to see you there, and thank you very much for reading! Stay safe, everyone, and take care!

Next Chapter release and poll Black Sparkle 2

With that being said, the Chapter 1 is now officially closed for voting. We're already working on the launch of Chapter 1.2 as I speak, and it'll be released on July 10th. Remember this date!


Because of Eclipse's instability regarding journals and customization, which we need to release future chapters, we'd like to ask your opinion on our LATEST POLL. Please check it out, if you haven't yet! While the instability might be temporary as the deviantArt team sets up the new interface and site, we think it's all too unclear to wait until they're ready, so we've thought of some possibilities. Please let us know what you think, or, if you have a suggestion to make, hit us up in the poll comments!


Black Sparkle 1 Playability changes: Resources system revamp

We have reworked the way Community Resource Items work, for a better conveniency and understanding of both you and us! Previously, gathered Community Resources were stackable, and unlockable benefits varied accordingly with how much of each an user had in their bank. This means they would always sum up and would never be spent, acting as a "key" to unlock benefits permanently, and you could use said benefit as many times as you wished without having to unlock it more than once.


New * The new system is as follows... New *

Community resources are now spendable. Instead of unlocking benefits permanently as before, now resources will be used to unlock a benefit once, given you have the necessary amount of each resource to unlock what you want. The resources needed for that will then be spent. This means you'll need to unlock benefits more than once, spending the required amount of resources each time you want to achieve them. Think of it as purchasing something in a store; the resources being the "money", and the benefits being the "item" you want to buy!


We believe that the new system not only makes more sense, but it also helps giving the users goals and reasons to gather resources in the long run, which sounds more fun playability wise!


Playability changes: Avatars and Memory Fragments Black Sparkle 2

Previously, Avatars which aren't bound to a Keeper were unable to earn Memory Fragments in activities that would reward them. However, we thought that this could have been potentially killing the fun for users who don't wish to have their Avatars bound to a Keeper, or users who haven't been able to, or are unable to get a Keeper at the moment for any reason they may have.


With that in mind, we are currently working on a system that will allow them to do so, starting on the next Chapter release. That doesn't mean we'll be enabling them to earn Memory Fragments the same way Keepers do, though! Avatars who wish to be able of getting the skill to earn Memory Fragments will have to do something special, which we'll be explaining when we have the system ready to go~

[Memory Keepers] Grand Opening Event - OPEN

Greetings, and good evening, everyone!

We are founders Ryo and Tiaa, bringing along riveting news!

Or, that's what we'd like to say. Eclipse still looks pretty inconsistent about which features it removed or not, and despite having everything ready to launch, we noticed even though we could make journal drafts the same way as before, and despite the journal interface not changing, the groups' journal editor lost all its CSS customizability.


We rely heavily on customization for our journals to work at their best, and the skins we use the most didn't have many compatibility issues on view mode, but we are unable to apply them as it currently is. We'll be sending a report to deviantArt, since we have purchased a Super Group for a reason, you know? haha


Regardless, we'd still like to launch the ARPG opening event, and the Chapter 1 as it had been planned, so we worked our way around it the best we could. Please check out the following submissions:

Counts as our Opening Events' journal! Runs until July 5th, 11:59 BRT.

Counts as our Main Story's Chapter 1! Will be open for voting until July 5th, 11:59 BRT.


Thank you all so much for the patience, support, and for keeping with the group so far! We apologize for the inconvenience, as things are a little messy. If Eclipse gets this fixed in the future, we might reupload the Chapter 1, for consistency's sake. For the time being, please bear with us, we'll be doing our best to adapt to the new site and still offer quality to you!


Thank you very much for reading, hope to see you all participating in our events!

It’s a calm afternoon, much like the afternoon before, and the one before it. It has been little more than a month since this peace came back to the village and its surroundings, which makes us wonder if the war is really over. And it is such questioning that makes Capella believe it’s a good time to launch a reconnaissance expedition.

The expedition targeted by Capella aims  to check the real situation of the world outside the village and to get some supplies, since the local resources have proven to be quite worn out by now. This is what’s being discussed at the meeting room today.

Hello, my child. Please make yourself comfortable, you’ve arrived on perfect timing! Right, Capella?~

Yes, thank you very much for attending. By making use of my late mother’s memories, kept by Amalthea, we managed to map the areas surrounding the village and chart possible expedition routes. We’d like your feedback on which one you think we should initially take.

Since the expedition is something pertaining to all of us, we thought it would be fair to let you have a saying on it. It’s important to settle things democratically~

In case things run smoothly, we will be able to explore all of the surrounding areas; but, as we’ve been saying, we need a starting point before thinking of exploring everything. Ale, could you tell our guest more about the routes we charted?

With pleasure, Cappi. Please, take a closer look at this map.

[Memory Keepers] Map of the First Continent by mr-tiaa

Following through to the extreme Northeast, we will reach the beautiful Kingdom of Salientia. It is commanded by Princess Vasilisa – one of Mother Nature’s children -, and her Keeper, Henry. Apparently, both were very gaudy and enjoyed launching grand parties, splurging of their kingdom’s prosperity and wealth.

Despite their pride, they were very generous and have helped us a plenty in the past. However, strangely enough, we haven’t heard from them since the past year. I wonder if they’re alright…?

…Following through to the East, we’ll see what’s left of the Village of the Seven Goats, led in the past by Capra, the kindest of Mother Nature’s children – Amalthea’s former partner, and Capella’s mother. The village was modest and mostly rural, but, seeing how it’s a territory they’re familiarized with, we may be able of finding provisions and other useful things in the debris… Are you sure about this, Capella…?

I thank you for the concern, but this is fine, I’ll do all I can to help my current home. Besides, if I spot another one of those fleabags whom destroyed the village, I’ll show them with how many wolves you craft a cloak!

Capella, you’re going to scare our guest.

Hngh-! Sorry, I got carried away. Please, go on...

...Yes, of course. Let me see…
Following through to the Southeast, we’ll arrive at the mysterious Moon Capital, kept by mister Taketori, Mother Nature’s son, and his Keeper, Kaguya. We don’t have many information on them, since the town remains secluded, surrounded by a massive bamboo grove. With security measures this high, they’re apparently guarding something very precious.

We’ve never visited them personally, but it is said that even though they’re reclusive, they’re very gentle and pacific.

Thank you very much for helping with the explaining, Ale.

Glad to help, Cappi! It had been a while since I've last drawn a map.

Well… so? After listening to what each route reserves us, which one do you think we should take first? Choose the option which best suits you.

👑 The route to the Northeast, heading for the Kingdom of Salientia
🐐 The route to the East, heading for the Village of the Seven Goats
🎍 The route to the Southeast, heading for The Moon Capital

For fairness’ sake, to guarantee everyone will cast their votes only once, when commenting, please identify yourself with your approved Avatar Sheet, or with your Masterlist Entry.

We’ll be listening to the feedback of everyone who manifests themselves until July 5th, 11:59PM BRT. After that, we’ll tally the votes and the route chosen by the majority will be the one we’ll take. Please do tell us what you think, my child~

Hey, everyone! How have y'all been doing in quarantine? Have you been washing your hands properly, avoiding to go out? Are y'all safe? I've already managed to cut my own hair hahahaha
It's easy to go bonkers in a situation like this :') but I really wanted to have my short hair back for a while now and then BOOM PANDEMIC SOBS

Since deviantArt will force everyone into Eclipse and it's now terminal, I decided to shed some light on this as well, as in, what I'll be doing; which is: nothing! I'll stay here. I don't really like Eclipse, and yes, it's broken, and the dA staff doesn't listen to us, but... welp, what's been done, is done.
If I didn't already really like the site, there's my spouse and I's closed species group, MemoryKeepers, which is my (our) pride and joy, so we're not moving it anywhere else; neither moving ourselves as well, for that matter.

But since many people seem to be keen on leaving, if anyone's interested, here are my other social media places

As for updates on myself, I just would like to say that updates have been slow because my own pace is slow. With all that's going on, I've focused myself on distractions, so it's like a "soft break". Working makes me think too much, so I've reduced work to a minimum so I can stay with a healthier mind during this crisis.
I've been cleaning things more often and more thorougly, as well; ever since Covid-19 was confirmed to afflict cats/felines (albeit very, very rare), even if they don't spread it to us humans, and symptoms aren't grave, I absolutely do not want my cats sick. Cleaning on my own isn't an issue and I believe I have a good personal hygiene (mild germophobe here asdfgjhkl), but controlling animals is way harder, so best bet is to have everything very clean, very often.

But 27 year old me is basically a 70 year old with a bent back, so I get pretty sore from all the cleaning and worrying and whatnot |D
So most of the time all I want to do is turn one of my Sims games on and chill, or lay down and rest a little. My social energy's been lower than ever, but I've been keeping in touch with family and friends, and most importantly, my spouse. So when I get everything done, I mostly just crash down and don't want to think about anything else xD

But, I've been doing things, with all this spare time we suddenly have to ourselves. So I do have content, but it'll be coming very, veeery slowly... o3o'
I won't say I'm not scared, things are super scary as of now, especially here in Brazil - because, well, anyone searching up Brazil's president and health minister can understand why LMAO -, so I'm doing what I can, staying home and taking care of myself, being extra careful whenever I go out (and scolding grandma in the rare occasions SHE went out)... so I think overworrying about other things than these is pretty much trivial at this point.
But as always, I'm really happy and grateful for the comments and whenever I'm interacted with, so I'll be trying to keep up with these more, since posts will be slower. Just thought a heads up wouldn't hurt, you know?

Anyways; to finish my ramblings, I really wish and hope you've been all safe, and taking care of yourselves! Hope the people you're quarantined with are also cooperating. This is a hard time we're going through, but I want to believe things will be fine, eventually. We'll rise stronger than we were before!
