❧ The Arboretum: Fanclub!

[coatiferous]

Quick reminder that the giveaway I'm hosting on the main thread ends today ! So get your entries in if you haven't uvu

[OrangeSocks]

@OrangeSocks you didn't miss much!
upcoming:
- dog auction (cats are probably postponed because there was a cat for halloween?)
- mascot design contest
- probably an inventory cleanout
- half tanks + dye item is coming

Though none of that is likely to happen soon--the contest will probably be first--I made the badminton team and training will be long + frequent, even if the season is short... honestly I don't have time for anything anymore help


@fuiuki ah, I have no spare zodiacs :'c I'll just get a low advent or something for first place?

Awesome! Thanks :3
I'll probably be in a quiet corner of the fanclub from now on <3

How about a question? I've never really done one of these owo

For people with multiple jars:

Code: Select all

[b]Out of all your jars, which one would you want to live in, or at least visit, if you were the size of either a mouse or ladybug? Why?[/b]

For people with one jar, or anyone else:

Code: Select all

[b]If you were living in a life size version of your jar, where would you hang out the most? Why?[/b]

I guess I'll answer :3

Out of all your jars, which one would you want to live in,
or at least visit, if you were the size of either a mouse or ladybug? Why?

I'd probably pick this one, as my buddies Joe and Jim are in residence there.
Plus, that waterfall would be fun to hang out by <3

If you were living in a life size version of your jar, where would you hang out the most? Why?
Imma do a different one for this

For this terrarium, I'd most likely spend my time on the
roof of the little house. Looking out at all the flowers all the time would be wonderful

probably my little tank if i was a mouse with scuba gear so i could chill with jeffery the axolotl.

also, finally updated my signature. sad to see jeffery's tank go, but glad the little fish is here. probably going to switch out jars + font color + quotes every two months or so. c:

this one!!! i love peaches and i would be able to chat with the ghost and lay in the moss cx

If you were living in a life size version of your jar, where would you hang out the most? Why?

i think i'd like to hang out under the bonsai and see snow fall! knowing me i'd probably also try to climb the snowdrops and break my leg

competition is up!

@blakebelladonna Actually, I probably won't need the help next week o: But from then on until the end of April, I'm probably going to need as much help as I can get ;H; Expect like, a billion hiatuses/one super long one since I'll have time to relax literally one day every two weeks? I'll have to think about something I can hold in the time that I'm gone...

If you were living in a life size version of your jar, where would you hang out the most? Why?
I only have one jar! It's sorta strange since I have the freedom to make a bunch, but I'm honestly content with my small top hat uvu

on stone whale's little top hat! I'd sit there like it was a horse, and then slide down the back of the statue :'B

hi again!
Sorry for double posting. :c

I've made a sort of jar preview thing.
Please give it a try! I didn't use flash or html for mobile users, seeing as that didn't work the first time. It seems to work okay on my phone, albeit a little finicky. I'm most interested in the loading time and "run smoothness" right now!

To clear an item, drag it back onto its corresponding tab and then close the tab. Their layering is currently dependent on the order that you dragged them out in.

first (teal) tab: plants
second (pink) tab: flowers
third (red) tab: decor

Right now I'm just testing the drag and drop part. If it turns out to be a success for the most part, then I'll add in layers + jar switching, flipping, rotating, and duplicate items. Once that's been tested the rest of the items will be added! c:
Unfortunately, substrates don't seem like a possibility, the jar variations are tough to implement. :c

Thanks everyone!

omg i'm so excited about a jar preview!!!!! that way i don't have to sketch out ideas <3

[watts]

I love it so far!! I like this idea I currently have; I might actually use it and add some/change the jar once the preview is complete. Very exciting c;

welp, that's not to say that it's completely perfect!
One of my rules is that nothing can cover the one pixel gap between the jar and its contents, so your foxglove and aloe would need to be moved. And also, since the fence is more in the foreground than the statue, it'd be further down ^^;
I suppose the preview maker is just to give people a general understanding of how their items will fit.

I'll try to implement a button where you can send what you've made to me! Hopefully, that'll make things easier when ordering.
I'm also a little wary of people saving screenshots of their jars especially since this is offsite (and last incident), so I'll be adding a couple of text watermarks. A bit like the artist tryouts on other adoptables. I hope that's understandable!

second edit: should update automatically! c:
