Keypers Foundry

Welcome to the Keypers Foundry!

In celebration for our official species launch, we've set up  a few different events for you guys to participate in!

free MYO slot claim + special trait raffle!

From today (March 1st) until March 31st at 6:00pm PST, every member is allowed to claim one free Basic MYO Kit!
Follow these steps to claim:
1) Create an account on the Keypers Foundry website (that's here!)
2) Make a bulletin or journal advertising the species launch. Please include a link to either our toyhouse thread, or the website homepage! Make sure you mention the species is 18+ as well!
3) Fill out the following form and post it in the toyhouse thread:
 - Keypers Foundry username: {namehere}
 - Link to journal/bulletin: {link}
4) If you also tag a friend in your forum post (optional), you'll receive one entry into a raffle for a free special trait inscription upgrade for your MYO kit! You can tag multiple friends, but will only receive one entry. The number of special trait inscriptions raffled off will be based off the number of entries into the raffle. Raffle will be closed March 31st at 6:00pm PST, and rolled no later than 10:00pm PST in the species discord server. You can check the current entries here.

Please note that these MYO Kits will not be able to be resold or traded away, so make sure you're certain you want to create a design before claiming! Special trait inscriptions are also account-bound, but do not need to be used on these MYO Kits. Please read through the MYO Approval Guide for more information on how to save your design image and submit it to the site!

The slots themselves do not expire, so take as much time as you need to design them! If you no longer want to use this slot, please contact me either on toyhouse (rosewtrs) or through discord and I'll remove the slot for you. You will not be able to claim one from this event again, though, so make sure you're certain before messaging me! Otherwise the finished MYO design can be gifted away 14 days after the design is approved.

official design sales + auctions

On March 3rd, at roughly 3:00pm PST, a flat-sale raffle will open for the first two official Keyper adopts. This flaffle will be open for entries for 24 hours, and will be rolled around 5 or 6pm PST in the species discord server. Flaffle entries will be collected using google forms.

You may also purchase additional MYO Kits (Basic AND Artisan!) throughout the month on our on-site Gem Shard Exchange shop. Gem Shards are earnable as a reward for completing prompts and events, but may also be purchased with USD through the species shop on Ko-Fi. These MYO Kit sales will never close, so feel free to save your currency throughout the months!

Then later in the month (date to be determined!), two separate auctions will take place! More news on those will be posted when it gets closer to that time. All sales and auctions will be held through the Keypers Foundry website.

monthly prompts open

Each month we will have two prompts for you to submit art or writing to in order to earn the group currency, Gem Shards! One will be themed, and the other will be an open prompt. You can only submit to one prompt each month, so if you decide to do the monthly themed prompt, you won't be able to submit to the monthly open prompt! Feel free to read through our Prompt Submission Guide for more detailed information on how to submit prompts.

The themed prompt for this month is [MT-01] Keyper Introductions! Submissions for this and the March 2022 open prompt will close at March 31st at 11:59pm PST, with new monthly prompts going live at April 1st at 12:00am PST.

Website banner contest

You might notice that the banner at the top of the website is a little plain. We'd like to fix that! So we'll be hosting a banner design contest. Entry period will last from today (March 1st) to March 26th at 5:00pm PST. Users will then be able to vote for their favorite banners from March 27th - 29th, and Kye and Silk will pick one finalist from the top 3 user favorites to use for the website banner! The winner will be revealed and added to the website April 1st.

Contest Prize: Your art featured at the top of every page on the website (with credits to your art socials on the About and Credits pages) + 5 Gem Shards.

Contest Entry Rules:
- Must have an activated and verified Keypers Foundry account to participate
- Banners may be repeating patterns, or a single scenic image. Repeating banners should have a height of 200px, but can be any width you want. Single-image banners should have a size of 1800px (minimum) by 200px, and leave room in the center for the Keypers logo!
- Please avoid including offensive symbols in your banner design. Banner design entries that are done in bad faith (trolling, attempting to promote racism/transphobia/homophobia, etc) will be discarded.
- Banner designs must be SFW and not contain any nudity or gore. Banner designs should also refer back to Keypers in some way: keys, lockplates, magic gems, magic circles, ribbons, etc.
- If you'd like to include Keyper characters in the banner, please only draw the three NPCs: Maria, HB, and Merrick.

You can submit your banner entry using this form! By entering, you agree to let us use this art on our website.
