Dev Tracker

Almost an A+ thread, 9/10; only one note (and would elevate this thread to perfection) — remember to add image descriptions whenever you can, to share your genius work with the apparel layering system with your fellow players who use screen readers!


And with that said, I hope everyone's ready for next week's Theme Week!

As comments about the art are shifting away from constructive to something more like hot takes and non-actionable feedback, we're just going to go ahead and lock the thread now. Thank you.

Hello @Axolotl62, quick heads up, your thread title was edited to bring it in line with our Forum Etiquette. Thank you and congratulations!

@Kaifloof, I think you've found a bug. In my actual signature code, it does link to my profile. When you click on it via my signature though, it's stripping out my username. Interesting. You can get the link to my profile in this thread here though, Cozy Stream for Dragons.

lol hype is fine, as long as folks keep an open mind.

The issue is when hype turns into rigid expectations for a hoped for or specific release/update/content. When the event/update turns out to be something else, disappointment and even resentment can set in, which is detrimental to both yourself and communities in general.

So hype responsibly, keep an open mind, and if the event/update isn't your cup of tea (which is 100% valid!), there's always the April Fool's toggle in your Account Settings to turn it off for your account. @RadiumRadz

@Fujiko18, nope! If that's what we meant, we would have communicated that in plain language.

Some community members have been very clear in the past they don't like disruptions or pranks. The April Fool's Event starts at 06:00 server time, Tuesday April 1st. We're making sure everyone has ample time to set the toggle to their preferred setting before the event kicks off

Yup

April 1st is fast approaching and, once again, we have plans for the site and community

As a reminder for everyone, there's a toggle towards the bottom in your Account Settings. This toggle lets you decide if you want to participate in the April Fool's Day shenanigans or not before they begin at 06:00 server time, Tuesday April 1, 2025!

Cheers!

A wild pinglist appears!

@LordJeanliness, yes, yes that is an excellent idea.

On a related note, this me, to me, about me (gif):

Yes, we hope to be able to do little cozy game breaks for the community again! I may not know if I'll be able to stream until midday the day of. On days I'm able to stream, I'll announce on my socials and the forums with as much advance notice as I can give the community. I'll also go live 15 to 30 minutes and hold in a stream starting soon state before I intend to start the game to give folks time to log in — be sure to give the AequorinFR account a follow on Twitch if you want Twitch app notifications.

@StarDay @SillyFilly

It means it's okay to hype — responsibly. Be excited for the event, but keep an open mind. @Asbel

The word chest should now be appended to Gone with Wind.

I poked some engineers about the chest categorization in the database, as that's not something I can directly edit myself!

Thank you for the report. This should be corrected now!

Apologies. This should be corrected now!


Thank you. The fix is in!

Thank you to everyone who joined! We had a lovely time, just taking some time to hang out with the community, talk Stardew Valley, Flight Rising, and our favorite games as our farmer Bean began her journey on Bean Farm.

We hope to do another A Cozy Stream for Dragons as a little break for the community soon (date to be determined). It's an opportunity for everyone to take a moment to breathe, connect (or reconnect) through shared game interests, and for staff and community to engage in a different way. This is something we're trying, and we'll see how it goes, one stream at a time.

What we can't do right now is commit to a firm schedule, as part of my job is responding to the day-to-day needs of the community across multiple areas. I will do my best to give the community as much advance notice as possible the day of the stream. Below are some ways for you to receive notifications on stream day.

Rules & Expectations

When I'm streaming, I'm streaming as the Flight Rising Community Manager, and the rules and expectations for the chat reflect this fact.

Thank you for the report @Knuckle

While effects worked fine in Firefox for our own testing, it's possible you're experiencing a compatibility issue due to hardware limitations, an old version of the browser, or browser settings.

Please make sure your performance settings are set to "Use hardware acceleration when available".

You might also have webgl set to disabled. You can find this setting by entering "about:config" in your browser's address bar.

(sorry, been a busy couple of days!)

@allothere @StarDay - Thanks again for reporting this issue. The bug should now be fixed.

We've removed a post with a video that involved questionable animal care practices.

Please be mindful of the videos you link to. Not every "funny noise" an animal makes is because they're being playful. Sometimes the people around the animal cause them distress purposely in order to get the sound clip or "funny" shot they want to post online. Thank you.

Mistral Jamboree Skin Contest
The twelfth annual Mistral Jamboree will begin on March 23, 2025, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Please note that the contest ends on a Tuesday, as we announced in a prior update! Click here for more information!

Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Checkers and Chess expansion. This thread is for the newly modern version of these genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly





Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on April 28, 2025. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.

Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Checkers/Chess gene expansion, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.


This thread is accepting reports on the following genes only:

Thank you for the report @allothere
