WEEKLY STATUS REPORT: MAY SUBSCRIBER ITEM, FLORAL HATCHING POTIONS, MONTHLIES AND YEARLIES, IOS UPDATE, UPCOMING API CHANGES, JOINED A GUILD BADGE, AND PARTY USAGE SURVEY
Hello Habiticans! It’s time to take a look at all the exciting updates and releases from this past week!
First, the May Subscriber Item has been revealed: the Feathered Fighter Item Set! You only have seven days to receive the item set when you subscribe. If you’re already an active subscriber, reload the site and then head to Inventory > Equipment to claim your gear! Subscribers also receive other perks including the ability to buy gems for gold and the exclusive Jackalope pet! Best of all, subscriptions let us keep Habitica running. Thank you very much for your support – it means a lot to us.
Also, Floral Magic Hatching Potions are back! Between now and June 14, you can buy them from the Market and use them to hatch any standard pet egg. After they’re gone, it will be at least a year before the Floral Hatching Potions are available again, so be sure to get them now!
Next we have some great news! We’ve added Repeatable Dailies, one of our most-requested features. Now you can set a Daily task to be due at any interval you choose, including on a specific day of the month or year! Repeatables will be available on the Habitica website, as well as on our iOS and Android apps! We hope this helps you get even more out of your Dailies list!
We’ve also released a new iOS update! Now iOS users can view, join, and leave Challenges via the Habitica app. We’ve also smashed some bugs including the issue where Dailies would not always be saved on iOS 8 and 9 and a fix for the crashes some users were experiencing when using To-Dos and checklists. We hope you enjoy the update! Be sure to download it now for a better Habitica experience!
Next, if you’re a third-party developer, there are some important upcoming technical changes to Habitica’s API that you should know about. Read more about these exciting updates and how to prepare for your app for them on the Habitica developers’ blog, The Forge!
There’s also a brand new badge you can earn by joining a Guild! Guilds are a great way to meet fellow Habiticans who share your interests and/or goals! Earn the new achievement by joining one or more Guilds. If you’re already in a Guild, you’ve received the achievement automatically!
Lastly, are you in a Party? We’d love to know more about how your Party uses the text features on your Party page! Click here to take a brief survey. If you provide your User ID at the end, you’ll earn the Helped Habitica Grow achievement! The last day to take the survey is May 31, and you can expect your shiny new badge by June 7!
Habitica is full of wonderfully creative folks! If you are one of them and want to find communities with like-minded players, check out this month’s Guild Spotlight post with Guilds for Arts and Crafts!
