[h2][color]New Features[/color][/h2]

• [color]New Decoration Items - Paintings & Posters [/color]: Showcase your space with stunning paintings and posters, including exclusive posters featuring Weyrdworks' original games!
  
  
• [color]New Furniture Set - Bold Series [/color]: Introducing the Bold Series furniture set — sleek, stylish, and chrome, perfect for a futuristic touch. Available now in Calcubot’s store.
  
  
• [color]New Utility : Coin Toss [/color]- Let your Weyrdlet flip a coin for you! Access this handy utility via the Toolbox 🧰 icon in the Radial Controller, then click the coin to flip it whenever you’re ready.
  
  
• [color]New Microgame - Copy That [/color]: Test your memory with Copy That, a fun and challenging Microgame you can enjoy with your Weyrdlet. To begin, navigate to the Microgames menu in the Radial Controller, and select the circular icon. Press “Spacebar” to start the game, and input the sequence using the arrow keys on your keyboard, or click on the arrows using the mouse.
  
  
• [color]New Idle Activity - Reading [/color]: Your Weyrdlets have discovered a love for books! To start this Idle Activity, click the Book icon in the Idle Activities menu of the Radial Controller.
  
  
• [color]Draggable To-Do List Widget [/color]: You can now drag and place the To-Do List widget wherever you find most fitting. This feature is available on Desktop Mode as well as on the Cozy Island.
  
  [color]New Twitch Integration Commands[/color]
  
• [color]!Pat[/color] : Let your Twitch viewers pat your pets live on stream! Your viewers can start by typing in the chat [color]!pat[/color] followed by your pet’s name to initiate the command. For example : [color]!pat Wagyu[/color]
  
  
• [color]!Fartme [/color]: Remember the !eatme frog command and the explosive !explodeme command? We’ve added another froggy feature to the mix. Viewers can now make their frogs fart while zipping around. 💨 Once a viewer spawns in as a frog, they’ll just need to type [color]!fartme[/color] to send their frog on a quick blast-off. This won’t destroy the frog, but they’re still at risk of being eaten by Weyrdlets.
  

[h3][color]Pet Behaviour Updates[/color][/h3]

• [color]Weyrdlets & Furniture [/color]: Pets will now interact with furniture. Watch them sit on chairs and sleep cozily on beds. If you need them to move, simply click on the furniture they’re using to prompt them to get up.
  
  
• [color]Weyrdlet & Weyrdlets [/color]: Pets will now occasionally interact with each other and even join in on Idle Activities together. To stop their current activity, right-click on the pet and select the Idle Activity icon that appears.
  
  
• [color]Pet Status Effect [/color]: Unclean pets now have a stinky effect to match their... unique aroma. Grab some Soap from your inventory and drag it around the pet to clean them up.

This in-game event will last from the 28th November till 15th December.
