 | This week felt like it dragged on for me but after looking at the last week's stats, apparently that wasn't the case for some of you!! LOL That said, I'll only be including the weekly roundup of masteries & level ups for this update to commemorate our first weekly update, and to congratulate everyone who worked hard since opening to master and level up so quickly! I thought you guys wouldn't have many cards for now but I guess I had nothing to worry about :zany_face: Anyways, I wanted to once again thank you all for your activity and enthusiasm in this first week, and hope you continue enjoying the TCG!! Now let's get to the update! SITE MILESTONESWe'll kick things off with some new Site Milestones to celebrate our first mastery and level up: saya, who mastered sakyofuruichi-sweettemptation, and Jessica who ranked up to Auditionee! Congrats and good work, you two~ Everyone can take these as long you joined before today!  firstlevelup, ev-firstmastery GAME UPDATESOn-Location Filming is now ready to play, along with Local Shows refreshed for the new week. A new round of Hit or Miss is also up on the forums now, and the on-site rewards pick up (located in the Games section) has been fixed to give out the correct rewards! If you picked it up earlier, please report it on the forums so I can correct your rewards/send you the remaining needed.Remix's code has been updated so it'll temporarily remove the restriction on not being allowed to swap in a card from a deck already in the pile. Since we don't have many decks released right now, I thought it might become difficult to find something to swap in for the time being - but you still cannot swap in the exact same card that is already in the pile. Once we have more decks released, the restriction will be put back! Collab Stage (Prejoiners) is still open until the end of the month and while I *think* pretty much everyone who is a prejoiner has donated already, this is a last call for anyone who HASN'T submitted an image yet to please do so before next Saturday! Group Collect is also being handled on the forums for this month due to the nature of its theme so don't forget to participate if you haven't yet! I will be allowing second donations from anyone for BOTH Collab Stage (Prejoiners) and Group Collect starting the 24th which will be first come first served so you have been warned!! Sparkling Challenge has been open since the TCG opened as well, and now that the last set of site games are available, I hope to see some responses so I can get an idea of what I may or may not need to change/add/etc - along with potentially planning some future events! TCG NEWSSince opening, we've unsurprisingly encountered many errors, of which the most important is in regards to Training Activity Rewards, so if you've turned in any completed pages before January 13th, please report it on the forums with how many pages you claimed rewards for! I forgot to edit parts of the code which dictated how many trade points were needed to complete a page so it was taking 5 more trade points (per page) than intended; this issue has since been fixed but I will still need to refund those points back to your current count for anyone I haven't yet.I also edited this into last week's update late but in case anyone missed it: For those of you who donated any of the decks released at opening, you are free to take your donator (and/or deck maker, if that applies to you) pull now! Just comment on this update (or last week's) with what you grabbed for archiving and you're good to upload it to your trade post. Starting with today's release and going forward, donator/deck maker pulls are included in the claiming form along with regular deck pulls! Lastly, we will be allowing members to make a second wish in Wish Upon a Star so go ahead and submit another wish if you already played it this month! If you haven't played it yet then you can submit both your wishes, one after the other, each in a separate form so you can receive your rewards both times. WISHING DETAILSTo celebrate our first weekly update, there is actually NO LIMIT or restrictions on the number of cards per deck you can take for both wishes despite what it says (that's just the default limits which *will* usually be in place for most wishes)! I'll also be granting a double release wish weekly until we hit 100 decks so look forward to that :3cNEXT UPDATESee you all on January 24th for the next update!Wishing StarsKindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.
New ReleasesYou may take a total of 20 cards from the new decks but no more than 2 cards per deck, unless otherwise stated above.                     a3-mankaikaikasengen, adonisotogari-tamedbeasts, aimiyashita-princessoftheseapalace, anastasia-auroraprincess, arashinarukami-petalburstinglove, azusamiura-lovelykiss, camus-iceprince, chisatoshirasagi-enchantedmelody, d4dj-groomyland, doppokannonzaka-cybersalaryman, enstars-twinklingstars, goshikaneshiro-sakurapetals, kaoruseta-fleetingsamuraireverie, lenkagamine-cozysundaymorning, matsuritokugawa-sweetdreamland, riomasonbusujima-cookingflourish, rubykurosawa-sleepyhead, shizukuhinomori-livestreamidol, tsukasasuou-chivalrousknight, uzukishimamura-jumpingintotwilight Click here to submit your deck release pulls! |

 | The time has finally come: SPARKLING! is now open! This is probably going to be a long update so do make sure you read through everything - if anyone asks a question with an answer that can be found from this, I will redirect you back to this update! :3c REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!Click the JOIN US link in the navigation (or this update) to sign up!! If you get any doubles in your starter pack, you can exchange them HERE.Do note that activating your site account has 2 parts: a self-activation link sent to the e-mail used to register, and a manual approval by an admin; without the first part, you won't be able to log in to your account and without the second part, most features (games, activities, services, etc) won't be unlocked - so don't forget to do both! If you're having trouble completing the self-activation part, contact Cassidy ASAP because sometimes that e-mail does not get sent right away for reasons out of our control so I will need to manually activate that for you. Afterwards, head on over to the Starter Pack Bonus thread once you've uploaded your starter pack! Even if you applied for your Producer Card early during prejoin, you still need to fill out the form - just mention that your MC is already made instead. Remember that you are not an officially approved member until you receive a reply from an admin (currently that's only me, Cassidy!) saying you've been approved so don't forget to PM me on the forums once you have your starter pack bonus uploaded as well! Once approved, you can go ahead and play the games listed above (Local Shows, Studio Program, National Tour, most Overseas Schedule games) and use anything else available in the TCG; feel free to start trading too! The only features not available right now are Ruby Collection, Curtain Call, and Events/Seasonal Mini Events, whereas the On-Location Filming set will be available with next week's update so do not play it yet! For this month only, Group Collect will occur on the forums for a special custom theme. This is also a reminder for any PREJOINERS that prejoin-exclusive Collab Stage round is still open on the forums for anyone who hasn't submitted an image yet! PREJOIN REWARDSAs a reminder, rewards from prejoin (and pre-prejoin) will NOT be sent out right away! They will only be sent after we hit at least 100 released decks so that there will hopefully be more variety in the randomizer. As such, I do plan on increasing the amount of decks released weekly during the first 1-2 months of opening because of this which will also include the decks that were requested during prejoin by those of you who maxed out their deck donations!EDIT ON 2026-01-11: For those of you who donated any of the decks released at opening, you are free to take your donator (and/or deck maker, if that applies to you) pull now! Just comment on this update with what you grabbed for archiving and you're good to upload it to your trade post. REGULAR TCG NEWSWith SPARKLING! now open, it's also a new month so that means monthly donations have been reset. Everyone can donate up to 10 new decks max. as well as 2 rank badge sets and 5 Broken CD images if they would like; link buttons are not being accepted regularly as those were a prejoin bonus!I also expect there will be many errors/issues popping up now that everything is available to use and test so I would like to point out/remind everyone that we have an entire Help Desk sub-forum with different error reporting threads depending on the problem you run in to. PLEASE report everything in their respective threads (or whichever thread makes more sense to report in) and do NOT message me with errors! I'm prone to forgetting and losing things in my DMs so having errors in one place on the forums should lessen the chances of me missing anything. There is also a thread for questions, along with one for suggestions, but you can also ask anything in the #faq-and-help channel in our Discord server - however, posting on the forums benefits those who are not a member of the server but may have the same questions! That said, we do strongly encourage everyone to join the server as we post a lot of quick updates and notices/announcements in real time there so it's the best way to get updates and info from us ASAP. If you don't though, no worries; we still compile everything into the site updates, they will just be delivered to you a bit delayed compared to those in the server! SITE MILESTONESWe also have our first site milestones! There's going to be a lot but make sure you are only taking the ones you're allowed to. The first is our monthly milestone, available to ANYONE who is a member regardless of status but can only be claimed during January! It's also available in the sidebar for easy access in case you forget and need to take it later. ev-202601 The next are to celebrate our grand opening, the new year, and our current layouts! As a special opening gift, ANYONE who is a member regardless of status/when you join can claim these as long as it's still January. Afterwards, only those with PREJOIN STATUS can claim these at any time then!     ev-grandopening, ev-newyear2026, ev-layout001, ev-forumlayout001 Our last milestone today is exclusive to members with PREJOIN STATUS only! This can be claimed at any time, even after January, as long as you were a prejoiner.  ev-prejoin CLOSING NOTESAnd I believe that's it for now, unless I edit things in later (which I probably will as things come up because I feel like I'm forgetting stuff lmao)! We'll be following the regular update schedule going forward so the next weekly update will be on January 17th which will have our first release, wishes, and freebies. See you then! |
