Halloween Event Almost Ready

We're currently testing the Halloween event internally, once we ironed out the bugs we will release the event either tonight or early tomorrow.

Trick or treating will earn you items that will be used during the event. We will be turning it on shortly so you can start earning the items. I'll be back with more news very soon!

Halloween event fixed

Apologies for the delay, as we close in on finishing the game we ran into a few more issues.

There are still a lot more features to be released, and additional stages will be made available also. Please stay tuned for more updates tomorrow.

Halloween Event Difficulty Adjustment

We've been collecting your feedback and we had adjusted the difficulty on stages 1 and 2. We will continue to monitor everyone's progress and make sure the game is challenging but not impossible for all of you. Thank you for your patience.

Halloween event adjustments

Hello everyone,

We've once again adjusted the difficulty on the first 2 stages (Rina and Edmund). Hopefully we can see the majority of players being able to make it through to the end. For those who are having trouble, we will be releasing some power up items to help with beating the stages.

starting tomorrow we will be releasing a new stage every 2 days.(*) There will also be a different game mode plus leaderboard coming next Thursday. Meanwhile, we will continue checking on everyone's progress and making additional changes.

* sorry I had the schedule wrong

Avatar Builder Updated

Sorry things took longer than anticipated, but we found a few bugs related to avatar save states in the Avatar builder that hopefully should deal with the issues of avatars losing progress mid way through dress up.

I also found some room for improvement, mainly for avatar to save state even after logging off. We will have another update coming early next week.

Halloween event updates

Hello everyone,

We've noticed that many of you are still having trouble beating the higher levels in Fashion Fray, so we had made the following changes:

- Point requirement had been once again lowered
- Number of trick or treat grab bag limit had been raise to 60

Here are some tips for beating the stages:
- Collect more of the Halloween grab bag through trick or treat, or from beating older stages to collect more items to add to your wardrobe
- Post in the event forum to collect power up items which can lower the score requirements for each stage

Once reaching stage 6, your scores will be submitted to the leaderboard for additional prizes. The additional prizes includes a medal and bonus platinum. When the event ends on the 17th, everyone who made it to rank B and above will receive a GCash bonus.
(Please note that there had been a mistake with the first prize grant on Friday where GCash was given out by mistake, they were meant to be given out by end of event.)

PS - There was a bug for stage 6 where the style to avoid is the same as style to use. That bug had since been fixed.

Halloween Event Updates

We've just fixed the following issues :

- Platinum grant items will always grant the full amount
- Leaderboard reward system will grant a lower rank item if the current rank item had already been won before.

With these fixes, we have extended the Halloween event for another 3 days, so now it will end on November 20th. Have fun!
