How are your kittybots enjoying the chilly weather this year in the Commons? Do they join the fray of the ongoing snowball fight, or bundle up by the fire with a hot drink in hand?

This event will end on January 5th, 2023 !

IMPORTANT - New Masterlist [READ]

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago by 021VII

/ IMPORTANT - New Masterlist

06/29/22

This is an important post regarding our KB masterlist - even if you don't read the changelog, do read the section!

As of the 29th of June 2022, we will now shifting our masterlist over to our new site: The KBDex!

All Kittybots have now been reassigned new Dex numbers!! More info below!

All new KBs will now come with their new KBDex number during approval. Existing KBs have been issued new ids, meaning the old ML ids are now outdated.

/ how does this affect me? what do i do?

If you're currently a Kittybot owner, here's what you should do:

1. highest priority - do this first

  • Look for your KBs in the new masterlist. The KBDex has a search function; simply change the dropdown from "All" to "Owner" and type in your toyhouse username in the search bar, and you'll find all Kittybots listed under your ownership.
  • Save your Kittybots' new KBDex numbers. By clicking each ID, you'll be brought to their individual KBDex profile. I highly recommend pasting the kbdex profile link or typing the new Dex number somewhere on your KB's TH page so you don't lose it + have new proof of ownership and approval.

2. okay, i see their profiles!

  • If you see any incorrect credits, links or information, submit a form to fix them. The new "Update KB" thread is linked below.
  • If you don't like their current one, change their Dex image. The new "Update KB" thread is linked below.

2. Help, i don't see their profiles!

  • If you don't see your KBs on the Dex, don't panic! Fill out a form to submit them. The new "Submit KB" thread is linked below.

/ changelog

What's new?

  • All Kittybots have been reassigned new KBDex numbers/IDs - this means that the old ML ids are now outdated/obsolete. See above.
  • Each KBDex entry has their own designated page - you can now link your KBs to their own profile in the masterlist!
  • The KBDex is far more informational than the previous ML - includes more credit details, full dex image, trait info, etc!
  • You can now change your KB's masterlist image - previously, their TH profile icon was the default image used.
  • The Dex has search function! - you can now search for KBs by Dex number, KB variant, design type, owner username and designer username!

What's the same?

  • Kittybots are still automatically uploaded to the Dex - like before, there's generally no input is needed. I upload KBs to the Dex on your behalf.
  • It's up to members to update ownership changes and username changes - like before, i do not automatically log these.
  • It's up to members to submit KBs they own that I've missed - i still sometimes miss kbs, especially the old deviantart designs that have unfortunately been lost to time. Every so often, I do a sweeps of the kittybot tag via "browse characters" on toyhouse, but these instances are rare.

/ other notes

Additional information about the kbdex

As the admin who runs the masterlist, this change was sorely needed - the old masterlist was extremely unreliable and quite frankly - messy, unorganised and "ugly", or at the very least was unoptimised for design documentation. A large-scale rework and overhaul has been on my mind for a while now, and I'm glad to announce that it's finally live!

The KBDex is powered by CharaDex and neocites - as much as I'd love to have a lorekeeper and a unique website domain dedicated to the Kittybot Commons, the funds would probably mostly come out of my own pocket,,, and I honestly just don't have the funds to support something minor like this, that I only do on the side in my free time LOL. Due to the wide spread of users in our community and the constant fluctuation of member activity, a lorekeeper for KBs would probably go unused anyway, which makes CharaDex the optimal choice for a masterlist rework :p

Fun fact: I deadass speedran this whole thing bc I was bored and actually had the means to do the overhaul; I set up the website, uploaded all 332 KBs (as of this going live), and filled out as much info as I could for each profile in 2 days SHJDFH

Another fun fact: for those of you who aren't in the KBC Discord, there was a battle royale held to determine who would win KBDex number 069 LOL

/ kittybots are for lovers

02/04/22 - 03/21/22

Get ready to feel things! For the rest of February through March, the Commons will be hosting a Kittybots Are For Lovers: Art Exchange for the 2nd year in a row!

Signups start on February 4th (today) and end February 10th for matching! This gives everyone a month's time to complete their piece and submit on March 21st!

Everyone will be matched with another sign-upee; this is a secret santa type of event, so secrecy is required in order for your match to be surprised! Let's celebrate every Kittybot's individuality together, shall we~?

/ prompt

❥ Time for some springtime loving - Pom is helping those in the Commons send love letters! These can be to a stranger, a friend, or a partner! Let's break out the cute stationery ~

❥ You can decide to sign up for a little gift exchange below, or just draw your Kittybot taking part in the festivities!

❥ Kittybots Are For Lovers is a strictly art-based event, sorry! Any kind of drawing counts, but you will be asked what you're willing to put forth; every participant will be privately matched with a different user who's willing to put forth a similar amount of art. Every participant will have their form put in a channel on the KBC discord specific to this event.

❥ You don't have to own a Kittybot yet to participate! - You can put up a friend's KB in your form, but there are limits to how much one individual can get.

/ event rules

  • A Secret Santa event is where a group of people exchange presents anonymously; in this case, everyone is expected to exchange a piece of art!
    This piece of art can range from lineart to a fully illustrated piece, but you have to include what you're thinking of doing in order for us to match peoples' efforts!
    Please understand that signing up for this Art Exchange is a commitment and you will be expected to meet the submission deadline.
  • You must have at least 1 approved Kittybot in your form to participate! We don't want anyone to be left out because they don't have a Kittybot, so using a friend's or someone else's is fine, but every member has a limit of 2 guests using their Kittybot for the exchange.
  • All matches will be randomized to an extent! As stated prior, we will be trying to match according to effort being put in your exchange piece. We will not be responsible for any changes in effort between matching and submission, so please don't lowball anyone if you can't put forth what you've stated.
  • The moderators require at least 10 participants total for this event to work! If we do not have many participants, it won't be as exciting for everyone involved. Some moderators will also be participating, but we're trying to reach an even number of participants by the end of signups!
  • By signing up for this event, we are expecting you to submit 1 piece of art for your match! Please do not sign up if you think you're going to flake out, are too busy, or just want free art of your Kittybot without putting forth a piece.
    Anyone who misses the submission deadline of march 21st (without telling moderators) will be suspended from joining the next art exchange event we may have, and their match will receive 500 KC as compensation in place of art.

    Thanks!

/ happy h0l1day

12/22/21 - 1/31/21

Whew, after that server test, I think it's time to celebrate the Commons' cold weather! Bundle up!

Camille and the Nyavigator have set up a hot cocoa stand for residents, a free for all of chocolate hot drink, to say thanks! (=^・ω・^=)

FUN FACT: Despite being cold to the touch on windy nights, some bots have built-in heaters, kind of like a seat-warmer! Of course there aren't any flames or melted metal, but it can definitely warm you up! Does your bot have a heater or are you cozy by the fire?

What would a bot do without their loved ones? Give someone a gift! Even if it's a stranger! It can be a kiss under the mistletoe or a pair of socks, anything goes!

[ Event ] Good Day for Bugs 🍄

Posted 2 years, 3 months ago by kinqley

dizzy_camille_sprite.png

HELLO, USER!


User! Today I'll be doing a server check for all Kittybots in the area!

Coincidentally, all bots involved (KBC) have a 99.9% chance of getting bugged! 🍄


It won't be that bad, plus the server test will update the internet speed ^•ﻌ•^
nyavi_thumbs_up_sprite.png


either way, the server test will proceed! make sure you watch your bots („ᵕᴗᵕ„)

it'll only last like... eh... some days?

it'll be fiiine ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

let's go over what might happen to them, user!

dizzy_camille_sprite.png

/.totally not Y2K

nyavi_pointing_sprite_2.png

11.27.21 - 12.19.21

Fear not, user! The Nyavigator won't leave you hanging! They may be bugged, but you just have to wait it out (and/or laugh at their misfortune).

▷ Bugs are separate from viruses; a Kittybot maintains full control, but can be inconvenienced or uncomfortable.

▷ Bugs can range from visual errors (forms of colorblindness, long afterimages, etc.) and audio malfunctions, to motor impairments (slack limbs, vertigo, temporary loss of sensation, etc.).



sneezing_camille_sprite.png From random shutdowns to persistent vertigo, bugs can vary immensely! Seeing a green bar in your vision? Getting ad popups? Voice glitching? Feverish symptoms? You're bugged, buddy! 🍄

▷ How does your Kittybot deal with server test bugs? Are they down bad, or just inconvenienced? Does their owner help them recover by a trip to the programmer's?

▷ Participants can get an extra +50 KC per piece! Writing is also accepted!

This event ends December 19th!
