Keypers Foundry

Hello again everyone! Things have been really busy for me the last few months (moving across the country tends to do that to a person, whoops), but now that things are finally starting to settle down and the holidays are over, I’m ready to get back to work on this species! I’m making it my goal to get more steady activity flowing through here this year, and I hope that this will spark some inspiration and desire to develop your Keyper characters too! So!! Let’s get right into my plans for this upcoming year!

EVENT PLANNER/LORE WRITER STAFF SEARCH

I mentioned this briefly in the discord server a few months ago, but my main goal with this species is to introduce a community-involved, interactive storyline. I want to create something that community members are able to participate in and help the Keypers world (and species as a whole!) change over time. While I have some great ideas and starting points, I’m struggling to create the actual details. Plus, my writing isn’t very strong, so!! I’m looking to bring on another staff member to help out!

I’m currently looking to bring on someone who enjoys writing to help me plan out monthly prompts and seasonal events; compile lore/wiki entries; and contribute to the species storyline! This will be a volunteer position, but mod work can be compensated either through in-game currency, items or MYO tickets, or through monthly character adopt sales. This position is also more of a specialized staff role, and not necessarily a moderator, so you won’t be expected to handle typical mod duties. 

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in helping out with, please fill out this form to apply! Applications will close around January 20th, and they will require a small writing sample of at least 400 words.

GUEST ARTIST SEARCH

And along with searching for a writer for staff, we’re also looking for a handful of guest artists for the first anniversary event! I’d love to have a few guest artist batches alongside the ones created by me and Silk, so if you want to considered for that, please apply here! Applications for guest artists will close January 20th at 1:30 PM PST. Please only apply if you can complete at least one design within the month of February!

FIRST ANNIVERSARY EVENT INTEREST CHECK

And speaking of the first anniversary, I want to hear your guys’ thoughts on what that should include! I’d super appreciate hearing your thoughts for what kinds of events and prizes the first anniversary should have! Things on the poll include your thoughts on free raffle/paid sale design batches, a scavenger hunt, advent calendar, custom or premade artisan sales/raffles, and more! Please take a few minutes to fill this out, as I really do want to include things in the anniversary event that would make it fun for all of you!

And I think that’s it for this announcement! Thank you so much for showing your interest in this lil species throughout the year. Here’s to 2023 being more fun and active for everyone here! Hope you all have a safe, healthy, and wonderful new year!!
