the next floor is september 1st (hopefullly)
Hello, hello, I hope you're ready!!! For the info of the upcoming setting change!! Happening soon!!
I thought it had been 4 months since we started, but somehow, it's only been two wtf. Anyway, we're on pace for setting change as needed, but If it feels like we need to be faster OR slower, we'll adjust for the future! I want to make sure everyone has ample time to enjoy the floor before getting situated into the next one! We wanted to note what to expect and give you things to hum and haw over (its types, we know you want types).
Just so you know, there will likely be bumps and lumps along the way! We appreciate your patience since we're always experimenting what is the best balance between everything, and what people like to play with, but also, we are but two people. We'll try to explain why we make the changes we do, and if it doesn't work out, we'll adjust as we can! We know realistically we cannot make everyone happy with everything, but at the same time, we do want to make sure people can enjoy most things! SO THANKS FOR BEING SO CHILL AS WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THE PACE WORKS FOR EVERYONE.
So let's get to the part you care about.
3F - THE OCEAN VIEW FLOOR
(ooc: You will see me call the ocean view floor also as the second floor, every so often. It is the third floor, I am just stupid. The 2nd floor hotel rooms should actually be the 200s, you might see me secretly fix this later.)
While the second floor had the general vibe of being sleazy extravagance, this floor is focused on refreshing relaxation. Truly one thing many people have been clamoring for is just actual nature to interact with. It seems there's only so much extravagance people can take before wishing for the feeling of a warm breeze blowing across their face. Well, look no further cuz the third floor is here for you!
Despite being indoors, you'll find that you would never realize it because there's so much nature to interact with. Some key locations will be a grand beach and a waterfall to enjoy. Yes, you do have skies above you, yes the water is real, yes the sand and grass near these locations are also real. How does it work inside of a hotel? Ask Nana.
But do you wanna see other things to look forward to?
LOCATIONS
Hope that gives you an idea of what to expect! So now that we've gone over what the scenery will look like, let's talk about types cuz this will be a big overhaul.
TYPES
Types have been readjusted for the water floor! The reason for this is because we noticed missions were the biggest appeal in this game which made type tasks redundant! On top of that, some tasks were harder to achieve with limited options so there wasn't really a reason to participate if the incentive isn't already there. Since the only reward was "a positive boost", it felt like an add-on that most people didn't need to bother utilizing.
So we're rehauling it as an add-on boost to missions instead. From now on, when you complete a mission with someone, if it results in a positive or negative emotion to your character, your character will end up affecting the person they achieved the mission with. First, you can see the types and their effects here:
♦ Mermaid (#94FFAF)
+ Positive: Mermaid-types will make the other person want to kiss people.
-Negative: Mermaid-types will make the other person want to hurt people.
♦ Kraken (#00CED1)
+ Positive: Kraken-types makes the other person become more dominant/submissive (their innate preference).
-Negative: Kraken-types will make the other person be more aggressive.
♦ Selkie (#C6E2FF)
+ Positive: Selkie-types can make the other person have the power to shapeshift.
-Negative: Selkie-types can make the other person be under 100% truth compulsion.
♦ Megalodon (#6996AD)
+ Positive: Megalodon-types make the other person enjoy the taste of anything (including blood and other substances).
-Negative: Megalodon-types make the other person want to eat people (interpret as you like).
♦ Oceanid (#0276FD)
+ Positive: Oceanid-types give the other person the ability to manipulate water.
-Negative: Oceanid-types give the other person memory/identity loss to some degree.
♦ Lusca (#FF94A6)
+ Positive: Lusca-types give the other person increased confidence/ego (king complex?!).
-Negative: Lusca-types make the other person experience fear of [whatever they choose].
♦ Hydra (#0D4F88)
+ Positive: Hydra-types cause the other person to be extremely affectionate.
-Negative: Hydra-types cause the other person to lose control of their emotions.
♦ Siren (#AAAAFF)
+ Positive: Siren-types cause the other person to lower their inhibitions.
-Negative: Siren-types cause the other person to be obedient.
An example! Kuroro (who is a mermaid) and Lotor completed a mission! Kuroro was happy completing the mission with Lotor! So now, Lotor will have an added effect on him. In this case it would be, Lotor wants to now kiss people because Kuroro had a positive emotion.
There will be no type to type advantage on this floor, one type can have an advantage over any other type.
What if I don't want to play this out? What if I forget to play it out? That's fine! Think of it like there's always a chance to be paralyzed with a thundershock, but it's always a chance. Sometimes it lands, and sometimes it doesn't. This is just a random bonus status effect chance that can happen that can help enhance fun things to play with the cr you're playing with. No one has to play if they don't want to.
How long do these positive/negative advantages last? They will last as long as a player needs to for fun, but the general rule is up to half a day and/or until the next mission is done!
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
♦ When the third floor opens, the second floor, Casino Hall, will remain available. There might be occasional events where it is locked out, but outside of those, it will always be open. That being said, the types will work here as long as you icly and oocly want it to. That means, people who OOCly do not want to keep track of it? You can just ignore it if you'd like. However, if people really want to keep it, it'll work on this floor only. Likewise, the current floor types work everywhere.
♦ People who app in later cannot receive old types for previous floors, BUT they can buy them if they want?!
♦ As noted, if something doesn't work out, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR TYPE. We'll try to give a better explanation of how that works but for now, email is the best way to go. We won't change the types of previous floors though. And like I said, these are only here for about 3-4 months anyway or until people are ready for floor 4.
♦ You can keep your room on floor two and it will soon have stairs/a latch/something that will lead you to a new room on floor 3. You get two rooms!!!! I'll add proper descriptions later for how it will work out.
♦
♦ This floor will be open, HOPEFULLY, September 1st, 2023, Friday (Depending on how busy mods are). I won't close apps, but I will hold apps until the location is released unless SPECIFICALLY asked to be placed earlier. I understand that since the new location is coming relatively soon and that there is body parts happening now, ppl might wanna touch those and that's fine. Just specify or DM me, otherwise new apps will all be placed on the 1st!!
♦ Previous floor types could only be gained if you apped in on that floor and unless stated otherwise these cannot be used in later floor's missions. They only work on the floor they're linked to. IT'S OPT-IN ONLY you can totally ignore it and forget it ever happened if you want, you can keep your discord role for collection funsies and/or if you like the color for your name.
♦ All your tattoo marks are forever though.
♦ NOW THAT IS ALL DONE, if you know what type you want to be? Go to this post and comment your new type for the Ocean Floor. We'll have emotes and things along the way, but until then, we hope you have fun! Obviously, types will not go live until the new floor goes live, but this gives you time to think about which one you want. (You can also ask us to pick for you).
ONE LAST THING, we are entirely grateful that people are just having so much fun. I really thought it had been like four months, but it's only been two and we've already got over 50k comments. It actually makes us feel really happy that you guys are enjoying this place. ;_; WE LOVE YOU GUYS A WHOLE LOT, WE HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN WITH US AS LONG AS WE'RE RUNNING!!
ASK QUESTIONS HERE, WE KNOW ITS A LOT.

ASK QUESTIONS HERE, WE KNOW ITS A LOT.
Re: QUESTIONS
Personally, i think its funny so i will say yes. However, if it becomes cumbersome to a thread every single time, it's legal to say that the type didn't trigger, too. Dreamworlds aren't always perfect!
