Concept for the new hatchery

Today I’d like to share more details about the future plans for the Hatchery! This post will be covering all the main points.

The Hatchery

⚡❗ The information below is still in its early stages of development. The images you see here are mock-up sketches that help present the overall concept of the hatchery itself and how hatching eggs will work. Details here can and likely will change before its official release. Also be aware that this new version of the hatchery will not be created until after the foundations of the new website have been made. We want to share this with you early to ensure the concept is solid when that time comes.

Overview

Rescreatu is a futuristic universe where we can travel between planets.

The advanced technology of an average person’s Hatchery provides all the basic care that their eggs need, and therefore eggs can be hatched without being incubated. This becomes our current hatch system as the default setup.

The Incubator becomes a special prep area for bettering your eggs’ color-hatching odds (among others)!

This allows you to strategize and influence the outcome of your hatches.

👇 Below covers these aspects in more detail:

The New Hatchery

Your hatchery takes care of all your eggs’ basic needs. The incubator allows you to strategize and influence the outcome of your hatches.

Casual Hatching

Incubation is not required. No more waiting to hatch your daily eggs!

The Incubator

The incubator is an extra feature that’s not required to hatch eggs. Hatching eggs within the incubator gives you extra perk options, if you wish.

Incubating Eggs

When an egg is incubated, it guarantees it will not hatch a natural. Once started, eggs are locked-in for the entire incubation period.

Incubator Slots

The incubator has a limited amount of space for eggs to be incubated. The number of slots you have unlocked (permanent) also represents the total number of hatches you can do each day.

Unlockable Incubator Slots

You start with 3 slots by default and can unlock 2 more with tu for a total of 5. Premium accounts unlock 1 more slot for a total of 6 slots.

Attach Boons to Eggs

Use specific boon items to add that Boon permanently to an egg before incubation begins to increase its odds. These egg boon items can be bought, obtained, or made yourself. There are 3 kinds of boons you can choose from.

Boons

Color boons increase the chance for a certain hatch color. A Double boon increases the chance of hatching two Creatu from a single egg of a different color. Mutant boon increases the chance for a mutant Creatu.

Optimized Boons

Optimize your boon eggs when putting the same boon on all incubator slots at once. Optimized Boon Eggs give a slightly higher chance increase than regular boon eggs.

Incubator Energy

Using the incubator costs energy, whether incubating eggs or hatching eggs within the incubator for additional perks. Cooldown periods are reduced by cleaning and resupplying the hatchery.

Incubator Hatching Perks

Hatching eggs placed within the incubator gives you additional perks at the cost of energy. The “Cozy Placement” perk slightly increases the chance your hatch will not be a natural. The “Twins” perk increases the chance your hatch will give you twins of the same color.

Hatch Bonus Meter

Consecutively hatching eggs that have the same Boon increases a Hatch Bonus meter, giving your boon eggs even better chances! The meter resets once your boon has been granted.

Daily Rewards Bonus

Complete this new Daily Rewards tier for another increased chance for Twins on your hatches for that day. The current tier for one extra hatch will replace this new daily perk. This bonus can stack with the Twins perk from hatching within the incubator.

Egg Ages and Mutants

Hatching mutants will now only hatch from Old eggs by default. Spoiled eggs will not be hatchable and will become a utility for making Boon Items. Spoiled eggs make your hatchery dirty, slowing down the cooldown time of your incubator’s energy restoration.

Combining Tactics

Choose your strategy based on what you’re going for.

Examples: To potentially get 3 babies from one hatch, build your Hatch Bonus meter by hatching Double Boon eggs in combination with the Daily Rewards bonus and incubation hatching (for a higher chance for twins)!

To potentially get 2 albinos from one hatch, build your meter by hatching Albino boon eggs in combo with the same twins-increasing options!

CS Creatu

Incubating, boons, perks, and bonuses for Cash Shop pets will work differently. However, we’re not sure exactly how yet. Any ideas?

Levels of play

Below shows the amount of dedication you can have to strategize your hatches.

Casual gameplay: Get eggs and hatch them! No wait.

Moderate gameplay: Incubate eggs and wait! Guaranteed to not hatch a the color Natural. When starting incubation, additionally have the option to add a special Boon to eggs to increase odds at hatching a certain hatch color, double creatu, or a mutant. Hatch within the incubator for more perks.

Dedicated gameplay: All the above PLUS earning higher-chance Optimized Boon Eggs when putting the same Boon on all incubator slots at once. Reach a new Daily Rewards Bonus that gives your incubator an additional chance for Twins. Consecutively hatching eggs that have the same Boon increases a Hatch Bonus meter, giving you better chances.

❗ What do you think about this new hatching system?

We’d love to hear what you think or questions you may have in the comments!

I’ll be directly responding to them for further discussion, and sharing more details about the new hatchery as things go.

❓ Optional: Daily Rewards Discussion

What are your thoughts on how the Daily Rewards currently work?

What things do you do to reach the last tier?

Or do you not usually make it that far?

Do you have any ideas on what would make it more fun and rewarding? What’s it lacking?

I hope you are as excited as we are about the new Hatchery concept. See you next time!

[rescreatu]

Today we’re sharing our plans for the new map system that will be in the next version of Rescreatu. Let’s have a look around!

Traverse the planets far and wide!

Maps will become the centralized place for Rescreatu citizens to explore the universe. You can go to every location directly within this new map system. (There will be easy ways to access certain places or pages via a site menu as well.)

⚡❗ Heads up: This information is in the early stages of development! The images you see here are mock-up sketches showcasing the overall concept of our exciting new map system. They’re designed to give you a sneak peek at how it’ll work, but keep in mind that some details might change before the official release. Just a friendly reminder: We’ll begin creating this map system after we’ve laid the groundwork for our shiny new website. We’re sharing this with you now because we value your input. Your feedback will help us make sure the concept is rock-solid when the time comes to bring it to life!

The solar system map

Visit each planet quickly through the solar system map view. Currently there are 4 main planets you can visit and 1 inaccessible planet in the Rescreatu solar system. And who knows what else is out there!

Planet maps

Each planet map is projected in an isometric view, such as this concept art above of Relcore’s new map. You may notice some familiar locations and some new ones. 😉

More places to discover

This new map system will allow Rescreatans to chart the planets more than ever before. There are so many unknown discoveries that await! Have you ever asked yourself what’s on the “other side” of these planets we all know so well? 👀

Interactive user interface

The planet maps will have an app-like interactive map experience where you’re able to easily zoom, show/hide labels, and click on specific locations. Above is a mobile demonstration showing this.

Locations

Each location has an icon that can be clicked to see where it leads, and every location will vary on what you can do there. This could be a specific activity or shop that you can visit to bring you to a new page, or you can have your creatu explore a location to see what items or eggs they can find.

Location information

Clicking on a location will show at a glance what each location entails before entering.

Detect new species, quests, or items

Checking locations will also tell you if the system detects a new creatu species or quest item that can be discovered there.

Creatu spots

Most creatu species can be found while exploring any location throughout their given planet. However, it’s been discovered recently that each creatu species has a specific location where they can be found more frequently as well.

Map visibility/progression

New location icons will appear as you explore and do quests, and parts of the map may even be revealed by becoming uncovered.

Quests

Your quests may often lead you to any of the four planets in search of something or someone. Available and current quests will be noted by distinct icons on the planet maps, so you know exactly where they are.

What do you think about the new map system?

🚨 Attention - Inactive Account Clearing Alert & Weekly Raffle Coming Soon! 🚨

Heya, it's been a while!

First things first - we want to give you a crucial heads-up. If your account has been inactive for five years, your Creatu and their names will be removed. However, your accounts will stay intact.

📅 Deadline: Thursday, November 23rd (23:59:59 Rescreatu Time) 📅

You still have time to rescue your Creatu and their names! Simply log in before the specified date to keep your precious virtual companions safe.

Now, for the exciting news: Starting on Black Friday, we'll introduce a new automatic account clearing process, along with a weekly raffle! The cleared pets will be offered in this weekly raffle, giving you a chance to get unique pets that were once unobtainable.

🌟 What's Changing:

We're reducing the time limit for marking accounts as inactive from 7 years to 5.

Cleared Creatu will now first be relocated to the official NameClearings account showroom.

Get ready for our Weekly Raffle page! You can purchase one non-refundable ticket for each Creatu up for raffle, ensuring equal chances and fairness for everyone, no matter their time zone.

Raffle winners will receive their pet automatically after the weekly deadline.

Unclaimed Creatu will be made available in the account's Rancher shop.

Pets that remain unsold for an extended period will be released in the Atqueen Forest.

This cycle repeats weekly, with the next batch on display in advance.

Our goal is to create a more balanced economy and enhance the name-clearing experience.

We believe this new feature will bring an exciting dimension to our community, allowing these pets and unique names to rejoin the active pool rather than remaining dormant on inactive accounts.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

IF YOU CAN'T LOG IN, do not make a new account! 🙅‍♀️🚫 Please contact us and wait for a reply: rescreatustaff [at] gmail [dot] com

Best regards, The Rescreatu Team 🌠

Opening of the Shrines

Good people of Rescreatu, I must thank you for helping Toby find the Shrine on Atquati. Now that you have found my shrine, you may now find the shrine on any planet if you look for it. Just remember that you may only use a planet's shrine if you actually belong to that planet, and that Creatu may only be blessed at the shrine of their home planet. I can't tell you exactly where the shrines are, but if you look, I have faith you will be able to find them on your own. 

For now, you can only access the shrines if you have completed the whole quest with young Toby. The quest will be removed on Sunday night, and then you will be able to access the shrines without having completed the quest beforehand. For the chance of blessing your adult Creatu you must donate your possessions to the shrine. The number of points you receive for each offering depends on its relationship to the planet and its rarity. There are four different item prizes to be obtained from each shrine. See if you can collect them all!

The blessings and item prizes will be awarded randomly, but the higher your reputation, the higher the chance of receiving a blessing. Unlike the Enchanted Springs, you may leave the shrine page to choose the adult pet you want blessed, and the blessing will still be waiting for you when you return.

I must inform you that not all Creatu are able to be blessed yet. There are kinks in the blessing spell to work out for each one. As we refine the blessing to be able to permit it to be applied to more Creatu, we will keep you informed. For now, the Creatu you can bless are:

Relcore - Berrok, Chimby, Jaaku, Leverene, Malal

Scria - Intes, Kayoki, Mirabilis, Meragon, Zaphao

Reiflem - Ardur, Ebilia, Kurrabi, Meiko, Otachie

Atquati - Ahea, Draqua, Goiba, Quelis, Skaldyr

We also need to tweak our spell a bit further for the special Opal birthstone color, so those Creatu are not yet able to receive a blessing. To keep track of which Creatu can be blessed, you may go to the Creatu Species list and see a preview of what each species and color will look like with any effect it has available.

Upon consideration, Credit Shop and Uldavian Creatu will not be accepted by any of our shrines at this time. You might say that they're not quite of our four worlds, and we aren't entirely certain how they would best aid our beautiful planets.

The Shrines, Aura Candles and Residence Permits are permanent additions to the site. We will be monitoring the impact of the new feature and making adjustments as needed, but your feedback is also welcome.

[rescreatu]

Will You Find It?

Yesterday you and Toby were close to discovering what that odd Creatu was. Hopefully, today you will find it! Head back to Scria to pick up Toby to continue your quest to discover the origin of the strange looking Creatu!

You may have noticed that some strange candles have been floating around lately. If you light them, and make a heartfelt wish, they will temporarily surround you with the aura of the planet they came from. After a day has passed, the aura will fade, and you will once again be a part of the planet you originally lived on.

In case you want to move permanently, you may also purchase a single use residence permit from the Cash Shop.

Some of you have noticed a large number of spam accounts being made recently. 

We believe these are accounts made by some kind of Bot, some of which are being made with links to unsafe websites displayed on their profile.

We are currently looking into ways of stopping them and also take this opportunity to remind you not to click on any strange links!

We have a Hacker Smasher for hackers but we're currently unarmed in the fight against weird bot accounts! If you could wield any weapon to stop them what would you use and what would you name it?
