Hey friends~

A small update for now.



We'd like to announce the arrival of Shiko & the Jade Bead.
Please head on over to the arcade page to play.
It features 3 modes. Easy, Hard & Extreme, you may tap/click on the difficulty to cycle through the modes.
Your arcade tokens will be automatically used upon finding a bead. Token will not be consumed if you fail to find a bead.
You may play the game as much as you like without tokens, but just be aware that there will be no PC awarded.

For Mobile: If you run into errors, please note the device and & attach screenshot. For some mobiles, you may need to turn on auto-rotate and refresh the page horizontally and/or back to vertical from there if you're running into display issues. Feel free to contact here or on the discord if you run into issues.

For PC: If you are unable to load the game, please make sure that WebGL is updated for your PC browser and not blocked. Please also make sure that your graphics drivers are up to date as since this is a newer game compared to the previous ones we have on the site, drivers need to be compatible. Alternatively, you can try a different browser to see if its a browser issue/PC issue running WebGL. Feel free to contact us here or on the discord if you run into issues.

We have upped the daily tokens to 5 for now while the arcade system is undergoing a revamp. We decided it was safe to launch this minigame first (Duel has some tweaks to do so we can't launch it yet.).This will only be reflected after your clock cycles to the next day.

Regarding the next cycle of contests, it will be around the middle of the month when we launch them, don't worry we will give ample time to take part. Just making sure that we get the current winners sorted out before we leap into the next batch.

Love the artwork for the arcade banner! The Shiroking looks so cute! Easy to forget just how huge and heavy they actually are.

Just tried the game and I love it! It's simple enough, doesn't require a long playtime if you can get the beads fast and the music is pretty relaxing

It is nice getting a new game to play in the arcade. Though extreme mode seems to easy too keep track of the bead.

Hehe, yeah didn't want to make it overly difficult since aiming for more of a casual feel for the game. We are however having a more 'challenging' game in the works. So eventually most ppl will find their favorites.


...though if there is demand for an even faster speed >.> I suppose we could do something about that.

Personally I'm stoked for more easy games, it's nice to have something to zone out to and I'm delighted to see it's not just any shiroking in the game, Shiko is one of my favourite characters in adventure, he's so sweet!

I'm also just really excited to see more growth in general? The arcade getting expanded is so awesome, I've missed browsing around at lunch to find some silly flash game to play like I did on other pet sites, and even with just the 4 so far this brings so much joy :DDD

Looking forward to the future year when players get to scroll through a whole gallery!

cool to see a new game.
only problem... it takes forever to load on a slower connection.
it actually timed out on me before the bar even showed much color.
now, grant you, i'm on satellite access. i'm aware of that my connection some times will nix some activities for me.
but i thought maybe if it's something I'm having a problem with, i should mention it.
and to maybe think about the file/game size when making games going forward. bigger/chunkier games will equal slower loading time for those of us with crap connection.
other than that, cool beans! i love seeing growth and activities happening in the places i hang.

Quite, surprised o_o. The game is 11mb(roodoku 7mb in comparison) which shouldn't be taking that long to load even on satalite (around 20mbps as far as I know at slowest?). Do you have the same issues loading roodoku?

We have however noted that webGL doesn't load well for some players and are considering/looking at alternatives.

no troubles with the other games. [shrugs helplessly]
i honestly don't have any idea why it won't load for me with out timing out then. my only thought was that it was too slow a connection for it. but wouldn't that have affected all the games and not just the new one then??

Hmmm... Are your graphics drivers updated? Wouldn't affect older games since made on older engine.

as far as i know they are. wouldn't a problem show up on sites like youtube and imvu too if they weren't?
with imvu being a graphics heavy 3d avatar based chat prog with monthly updates, wouldn't that be where the problem would show up first...?
course, haven't had any Real heavy use of it beyond puttering around with making my rooms more livable & my ava more... interesting. so maybe not...??
