🧵 I don’t have a Kofling yet. Can I participate in the community? 🧵
Absolutely! Everyone with an interest in the species is welcome to join the group and chat in the Discord or forums. You could draw gift art of the mascot, take part in the currency , and participate in community events like the Featured Kofling and Weeky Prompt! All the ways to acquire a Kofling of your own are listed here.
đź’ˇ How do I get featured on the homepage? đź’ˇ
Featured Koflings are selected to show off the hard work of owners! Four OCs are picked each month from the characters in the group, based on factors such as amount or quality of art, cool page coding, backstory and/or bio development. It can also be because the owner has been super active in the forums! It’s a way to shine a spotlight on the love you put into your Kofling and the community. Soon we'll be transitioning to a vote-based system, so the community can decide who gets a little extra love.📌 I have a Kofling from before the relaunch. Can I upgrade to a new one? 📌
Unfortunately, due to such a stark difference in the design/lore of 2016's Kofling species, and since most old Koflings were under very different ownership, unapproved, and don’t match requirements, this isn’t possible. However, once Koflings 2.0 are fully established, discounted MYO slots should open to owners of first-gen Koflings, and with these, I can help you design a Kofling that reflects (or doesn’t, if preferred) the energy of your original OC. Old Koflings are void and may not participate in this group, its events, or the community. For all intents and purposes, they're considered a completely different, inactive species.
đź’Ž Do you do custom Kofling design commissions? đź’Ž
At the moment, custom Koflings are closed since there are already so many ideas waiting to be fulfilled. However, they will definitely be opening as USD/EUR commissions some time in the future. Meanwhile, they are always available for purchase with Kofling Koins!🔋 Can I become a moderator for the group/forum? 🔋
Absolutely! We are currently seeking new volunteers to help the community run smoothly.
đź“Ž What do the different masterlist letters mean? đź“Ž
The masterlist is split into different sections to help keep it organised.001-99 are the official original adoptable Koflings created by myself, Oakiel.
M1-M99 are the approved MYO Koflings.
✏️ Can I become a guest designers for Koflings? ✏️
Guest-designed Koflings, like MYOs, have their own section of the Masterlist and be numbered accordingly (G0-G99). Guest artist applications are always open, and can be found here. Any requests to become a guest artist made outside of this post (eg. in DMs) will be deleted.
🧲 I want to make changes to my Kofling’s design. How do I do that? 🧲
Make sure you’re a part of the Discord group, and send a message in the “design changes” channel with your Kofling’s current design and what you’d like to edit. I’ll come and check over the changes to make sure they still align with the specific requirements of the species, and don’t stray too far from the original design and idea. If everything is okay, art of the new design will be used to replace the old design in the MYO Masterlist.🔑 What happens if someone breaks the rules? 🔑
Members should treat others how they’d like to be treated. Any user who intentionally, severely, or repeatedly breaks the rules, may receive a warning and/or a ban from the group - read more about this in the Terms of Service. If you discover a potential instance of rule breaking, please report your concerns directly and privately (via Toyhouse, Discord, or Twitter DMs).
🧼 Is there a trait guide? 🧼
Not yet! For now, each Kofling is treated as its own unique creation without a rarity tier for different traits. However, this does mean that they all have to fit neatly in the parameters of the species without too much variance in physical features - although we feel there remains plenty of room for creativity and individuality! In the future, a series of new traits may be added with a rarity guide to expand the range of ways that Koflings could look. Take a look at the current possibilities for Kofling designs on the MYO page.🪀 Can you update my refsheet with new information? 🪀
Absolutely! While the species is still small, I'll have the time to provide updates when you, as a new owner, have changes to make to the refsheet-listed information (such as name, pronouns, temperament, personality, etc.). Just leave a message in the #info-changes channel of the Discord server! I'll get back to you ASAP.
đź’µ Can I donate to support the species? đź’µ
Absolutely! While I love working on Koflings (they’re a total passion project), it takes an enormous amount of time to create all the resources, maintain the different websites, design and draw adoptables, and moderate the forums, server, and masterlists. This means there's less time I can spend earning money through commissions, so if you want to support the species (either with or without subscribing to a monthly membership tier), here is their Ko-fi!
