We are not open yet but should be soon! There are some things I would like to mention moving forward.
Back when I first started Ransolites, over 3 years ago, soon 4 in just a few more months, I had a lot of spare time. Far too much. I was able to make 50 ransolites for a single event, eggdrops near weekly as well as constant danced rans and customs. But as the years passed, my time became more limited. I know how to drive now and soon I should be getting my first job. My time is going to be a fraction of what it once was.
Right now, Ransolites have eggdrops roughly every other week, 6 at a time, so 12 each month. For large events, they are about 30 rans in the entire event. Taking those numbers, 48 weeks in a year, 24 being eggdrops, 5 of them having events. That leaves 19 weeks of normal eggdrops (114 rans total) and 5 events (150 rans total) making 254 rans to be made per year. Not counting danced rans, giveaways, customs, or vouchers. That means I would need to make about 1 ran every day to keep up. Granted thats under the assumption eggs sell each time they drop, but I cant expect eggs not to sell in hopes to have a little more free time. I simply wont have the time to make a ransolite every day, nor the motivation. Motivation is the big killer, I can make like 10 rans in a day if I had all day to work. But without motivation, it feels like a chore, an unfulfilling one. And theres other things I would love to get done. My Arbor comic, my book series as a whole, Dragonfruit's endurance, more character ref sheets, icons, commissions, the painting I never finished, the sculptures laying unfinished in my closet, the yarn still waiting for me to learn how to crotchet. I would love to get to those at one point and need to make time to do so. So that means stopping things I no longer find joy in.
Ransolties is only part of that. As a whole, I still love them. Love making them, using them, seeing others use them. But parts I hate. Like gathering, or things that never get attention like contests, are best to scrap entirely. Im more or less gutting Ransolites and removing a lot of things from it.
Things that will be removed or altered include
- Gathering
- Potions/Customs
- Ransolite Contests
- Ransolite Giveaways
- Ransolite Referral
- Inventory
- Collectables
- Contest Archive
Things that will remain more or less the same
- Dancer's Crystal
- Lore + Extra info
- Item/Ran Exchange
- Dancer Pairing
- Trading
- Trait list archive
- Unique Trait Archive
And moving foreward. I will no longer be using the current lineart to make Ransolites to sell. It's heavily dated with art thats going on 4 years old and there is no way I can redraw over 100 traits. So instead, this shop will sell Retro Ransolites, the ones that I made in the past that havent sold until I run out/have too little to sell. Future Ransolites will all be on ToyHouse and will have all unique lineart, adult or frost. BUT adults will still maintain the same traits as retro. (So a pearl tail will still look like a pearl tail you an get on a retro, just redrawn) while frosts still have more freedom and still undanceable, but can be grown up now.
A lot of things will be on ToyHouse as it is just much easier to do things there and get attention there. So if you need a TH code just ask me! I have plenty to spare!
There is simply far too much for me to explain here so I will be working on the change and explaining it as it gets done. All you need to know is until this shop is closed, here will have priority. In addition all active members here who bought a ran in the last year will be getting loads of perks to help them with the change or simply be a nice farewell gift if they no longer wish to stay. Returning owners will also get the perks upon being active for the first time in awhile. I should also mention that no item will be removed without something to replace it. So nobody is going to suddenly find their 10k coins gone overnight, not that I plan to remove coins yet anyway. I rather have it used
