🎁 PROMPTS + CINNA OF THE MONTH 🎁

We have some lovely prompts for you all! Check them out here!

Our winner for Cinna of the Month is... Perry ! 

As a reminder, you may choose to draw COTM Cinnas instead of NPCs for the Rarity Prompt!

We have TWO themes this month: Box of Chocolates 🍫 & Children's Programing 📺!
 As always, submit designs to THIS gallery for your chance to have your design made official for free! 

🍫 TRAIT UPDATES 🍫

We have a few traits that we'd like to draw your attention to! Check out the updates below:

bunny ears

Bunny Ears of any style are now allowed to be used with the use of a Golden Mead, but only  if the Cinna is submitted for approval in March, April, or May (bunny season).

horns clarification

The "Horns" trait covers every hornlike appendage on the face! Think tertiary horns like rhinos, triceratops, etc.

BEHOLDER CLARIFICATION

As object heads have become more commonplace, we'd like to clarify that a Cinna's head being an eyeball will fall under the Beholder trait! Cinnas that already have this design feature will be updated on the ML accordingly.

removing MANE AND UB: HOLLOW

As we strive to expand the creativity with which you can design a Cinna, the team has found that a few traits have become redundant. Mane (common) and UB: Hollow (rare) have been removed from the trait lists. You can of course still make Cinnas with these design elements! They will just no longer require traiting for the ML.

Cinnas that had Hollow have been compensated with vintage badges, which can be turned in for a Rarity Rune if you so choose by submitting a claim on-site.

Trait ART UPDATES

As a quick update, trait art is still in the works! We once again thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!

🎆 ROADMAP UPDATES 🎆

Less of a concrete update and more of an explanation for our lack of a January update, as well as a teaser of things to come!

The Cinnaverse has a rather big change coming, not to the species itself, but rather to the space we gather in! Given all of our IRL schedule conflicts, we needed to postpone the launch, because we want absolutely everything ready to go before we release it.

While our original intent was to fully keep things a secret, and then reveal it all in a grand flourish, we understand that some people may prefer an advance notice, so they can gear up and prepare for the changes being made. Therefore, just so everyone is aware, our Discord server will be changing before the end of the year. Consider this your first heads up!

 Our current goal for finishing this project is August 2025. Hopefully that deadline will give Kenna and us admins time to get all of our ducks in a row so that we can have an awesome newcomers MYO event!

Hopefully this update is enough to chew on for now! If anything comes up between now and the proposed August deadline, we will be sure to let you know. We want this to be a smooth as possible!

As of time of posting this, say a Happy Birthday to the species owner, Kenna darkvvision ! Their birthday was just yesterday!

Aaaaand that is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff!

Happy holidays and enjoy your few more weeks of winter! Lots of love. ❤️
