Site News

Two years ago today, Soapuppies officially re-launched as  a full-fledged ARPG! We've come quite far until then, and we have a bit in store for this year's celebration! Please also be sure to read this newsletter in full, as it has a lot of information on current and upcoming stuff!

Monthly Prompt

January's monthly prompt is fireworks! Draw your Soapuppy watching or lighting fireworks!

raffle! prz-2000

Another thousand characters on the masterlist! Once again, we've reserved slot #2000 for a very special friend!

As per usual, Tickets can be purchased for 25 Duckies in Cocoa's Confectionary! For the sake of fairness, you can only purchase 10 entries, meaning you will have a maximum of 11 total if you've claimed the bundle!

This design is a collab between zorua, sam, fennecbug, and mikeyway! It will be rolled on February 1st.

Anniversary Bundle:

A free 2 year anniversary box can be found in Cocoa's Confectionary! It includes many fun goodies for you all!

Recruitment Rush

Starting this month and reoccurring anually, referral rewards will be tripled for the month of January! Any new registrations that mark you as a referral will reward 60 Duckies instead of the regular 20!

Please note regular event rules apply. Multi-accounting or exploitation (e.g. getting friends who don't have interest in the site to sign up) is prohibited and may result in a strike or ban depending on severity.

Misc.

• slug has formally returned as a web developer!
• We have decided to prohibit Imgur links from being used in pound submissions due to being inaccessible to some of our staff. Imgur links will no longer be accepted! ImageBB, sta.sh, Filegarden, and Google Drive are good alternatives!

January Raffles

Four new characters are being raffled off from the pound this month!

PND-1187,  PND-1190, PND-1193, MYO-985

Enter here!

Upcoming

• Another mini gacha, similar to last year's. A preview will be posted later in a separate post.
• Valentine's Day is soon approaching... expect another lore event for the month of February!

Hello everysoap! Our monthly newsletter will be published on January 4th this year, since that is the second anniverary of Soapuppies! We have some very special things for you all, stay tuned!

Here are the winners of our raffles!

Christmas raffles

Cookies and Milk was won by Puddin! Aurora Snow Cone was won by Dropett!

Pound raffles

PND-1137 was won by Caketoast, PND-1156 was won by Leo, PND-1159 was won by J3ster_Th1ngz, and MYO-947 was won by CrookedAnchors.

Congratuations everyone! Stay tuned for more raffles!

Happy Holidays Soapuppies! Today is the last day of our advent calendar! Today  you'll be able to receive the Starlight Gift from the advent if you have claimed every day of our advent this year! If you have claimed every day of the advent and don't receive the gift, please let us know so we can verify for you! It was a little finnicky last year...

Mystery Raffles

We have some mystery raffles open until December 31st! Tickets for these raffles can be purchased in Sudsy's Shop, and are also contained in the Starlight Gift.

Have a lovely day everyone!

P.S. A new theme is claimable for free in the Theme Shop! This will be for free until the New Year, when it'll cost the standard 2 Theme Tokens. Enjoy!

Happy December Soapuppies! Winter stock is now back in rotation. We also have lots of updates for you this month!

Monthly Prompt

This month’s prompt is night sky! Interpret this how you'd like!

Advent Calendar

Starting tomorrow, there will be an advent calender on-site to claim a daily prize! Dedicated claimers might just get a very  special prize at the end! The advent will be accessible from this link, and will  also be added to our nav bar shortly!

Open Registrations

Soapuppies is now OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!!! Everyone rejoice!

Trait changes

Scented has been downgraded to a common trait to compliment the common Toppings trait. Since all of our non-exclusive items are free, compensation will not be provided for this, apologies! Hopefully this is helpful for all your future MYOs, though!

POund changes

Starting from now, the duckie value of Soapuppies and Dirtkitties will be adjusted to 700 duckies, which is the price of a Deluxe Bar or Gourmet Cup. We feel this is a more fair price for all of you! These values need to be added manually so it will take some time for all of them to be adjusted. Happy shopping!

Additionally, we will now be holding monthly raffles of pound designs to help these designs find homes with people who want them. The number of pound designs raffled per month may vary slightly until we find an amount that works best, since we aren't sure at the moment how pound input will change with open registrations. 

You can self-enter for these designs here! You can join as many as you'd like, but can only win one. 

Masterlist links: PND-1137, PND-1156, PND-1159, and MYO-947.

Upcoming event

We will be holding a small raffle design event later this month similar to the one from last year! Keep your eyes peeled!

Hello everyone! Our Halloween event has officially come to a close! Encounters have been deactivated, and the Halloween Hut will be removed later today. Make sure to get in your last minute purchases!

Pound Changes

Thank you all for participating in our poll last month! Here are our results!

Traditional pound submissions will now be required to include a digital color palette. 

Staff changes

Since the leave of one of our major species artists, we anticipated we'd need an extra hand in the future art-wise. We reviewed applications from our previous staff applications and decided to invite kitterbot to be one of our guest artists! She's made so many amazing designs for you all already and we're very happy to have her on the team. Thank you kitterbot!

Scavenger Hunt close

Our ongoing scavenger hunt will be closing on the 15th of November. Make sure you get in all your submissions before then! There will not be any additional scavenger hunts for this event, apologies! We'll make it up to you with something special, promise!

Misc.

• Themes have been moved to be next to borders in the inventory. 
• The gacha no longer drops blank balls.

Monthly Prompt

This month’s prompt is candies! Depict your Soapuppy eating, sharing, or making candy. 

Event

Our Halloween event is currently live until the 7th of November! Check it out here!

Community Poll

We have noticed that generally, traditional pound submissions are not getting adopted from the pound. We think this is for a variety of reasons, including needing to remake a reference, unclear designs, and inability to colorpick references. We've decided to open a community poll to gague everyone's opinions on handling this. We'd appreciate it if you filled out our survey!

Pound Submission Survey

Staff changes

Our lovely moderator and webdev slug will be stepping down indefinitely, aside from some minor side help for the website. Main webdev will be passed on to zorua in the near future. We love you kiki!!!!! Thank you for all your help!!!!!

Birthday box compensation

We have been having some recent issues with site rollover. If you have had a birthday in the past few months and have not received your box, please comment here to claim it! Birthday boxes will only be handed out to accounts with a birth month publicly visible.

Misc.

• New stock has been added to the Halloween Hut and Pet Shop!
• Our short hiatus is over, and all submissions have been reopened.
• Emailing is currently not working, and anything that requires an email to be sent out will result in a 500 error. Unfortunately, due to further external issues, this isn’t something that can be fixed at the moment. As soon as it is within my control, it will be fixed, but until then, thank you for your patience!

zorua

"Muah-hah-hah-hah! Welcome to our evil Halloween event!"

"You're scared, right?"

It's Halloween time in the bathtub once again! Are you ready to have some fun?

Prompt

There’s only one prompt this event, but you may do it as many times as you want! Draw your Soapuppy in a halloween costume! The minimum requirement is simply a clean fullbody. Each completion will reward you with 75 Duckies and either a raffle ticket or food. Your first entry will also award you the Halloween 2025 award!

Dailies

Alfred is back to hand out treats! You can check in with us everyday to earn something tasty! These can be used as food for our encounters! You also have a small chance at winning raffle tickets, which can also be sold for a small amount of duckies.

Encounters

Encounters are back! If you're unfamiliar, check out the event section on the site guide! Explore new areas and try your best to choose the right options for a prize! Relax in the Pumpkin Patch, hang out at a Costume Party, or... wait, what's that?!

Trick or Treat street

For a unique kind of encounter this event, you can go trick or treating at Trick-or-Treat Street! You will be given a random character to trick or treat with who will give you a goodie bag. Watch out, though! Failing here will lose two energy points rather than one! This area is high risk high reward!

Click here to visit our encounter areas!

Shops

Check out the Halloween Hut to see what fun stuff in stock this year and the Pet Shop to see what Trix is stocking during this event!

Mystery Raffles

We have four raffles this time. The designs are a total mystery, including their artists. However, you may be able to be clued in by their appearances and written hints! The tickets for these will primarily be available in the Halloween Hut, but can also be won by other regards. These tickets can be resold for a small amount of Duckies if you do not wish to enter the raffles.

These may be confused for food items if won, so please be sure to check either the item tag or description to be sure of what you are opening. Food items are labeled as “Encounter Potions”, and raffle tickets are labeled as “Boxes.”

Guess the candy

On October 30th, we will be hosting a game exclusive to our Discord Server! This follows the same rules of our egg game for Easter, in which you will be guessing the attributes of a mystery design, and all the correct guessers will be thrown into a list of people to randomly draw the winner of said design from.

Here is a preview of some of the candies we have in store for you! These will be chosen randomly and not in the displayed order.

Misc

The Duckies to Theme Token converter has been added back to the Theme Shop!
All drops and rewards are subject to change if we notice imbalance with being too little or too much.

This event ends November 7th. Happy Halloween, everypuppy!

Summer Sunset Scavenger Hunt

We're on the last stretch of summer… Let's do something fun with the last of the sun and clear skies! How about… a treasure hunt!

For those not into Scavenger hunts, we have two routes this time. Only one can be selected. If you do the prompt line, you will not be able to receive rewards from the scavenger hunt. If you do the hunt, you will not be able to do the prompt line. You can do a different option for each part, but not both!

Be sure to read the information below thoroughly!

Option A: The Hunt

Each part, a new scavenger hunt will be posted. Each hunt will have 15 items to find, and will last until the end of the event.

Nowhere is off-limits! This includes characters, encyclopedia entries, and any page on the site – even ones that cannot be typically edited!

Extra hints will be given out for the previous part when the next is posted. Users are allowed to provide each other hints, but please keep these vague and do not reveal exact locations where things are or aren't!

Option B: Prompt Line

If you're newer to the site, or just prefer to draw or write, you can do a series of prompts instead!

Each prompt has the same minimum requirements of a clean, colored fullbody and a scene background, or 500 words if you’d rather write. You can do more than this, but you will not get extra rewards for doing more than required.

When you finish either option, you can submit your locked items to that week’s prompt. You must submit all 15! If you submit extras, you will not get additional rewards. If you submit lower than this amount, your submission will not be accepted. You must have completed the previous week’s prompt to be able to submit to the next.

Let’s go on a treasure hunt! To start things off, you’ll be searching for Rusted Chests!

The Hunt:

Here’s a hint to start you off!

It's another scavenger hunt! Why not stop by and get something to eat? You’ll need the energy!

View this week’s hunt here: https://www.soapuppies.com/hunts/7!

Note due to site limitations, each hunt has two parts! If you finish the one in the link, you'll still need to find the last few items.

Prompt:

Prefer to be on the helping side? Why not help restore the treasure? You can even keep some of it as a bonus!

Depict your character examining or reminiscing on an object from the past! This does not have to strictly relate to treasure, it can be anything!

Minimum Requirements: Clean, colored fullbody with a scene background, or 500 words.

Completing this prompt will award you 15 Rusted Chests. Submit it to the Anicent Treasures prompt!

Once you obtain 15 Rusted Chests, head over to the Derust and Dust prompt! Your treasure will be restored for you to open, and you’ll receive a bonus for your hard work!

That's all for this week. Have fun!

Monthly Prompt

This month’s prompt is Autumn! The prompt is vague, so interpret as you wish! A bonus can be given if you include your Soapuppy's pet in the piece.

Open Applications

• We are seeking four guest artists for our Halloween event this year! If you’re interested, apply here! All further information is here as well. Applications will close on the 9th and artists will be chosen shortly after! https://forms.gle/8wn6eiMU1FBPtsYk6
  
  This is not paid monetarily, and the designs will not be sold. Artists will receive 150 Duckies and their choice between either species’ rare or randomized MYO!
  
  
• Although not a necessity, as I haven’t been able to manage the site much lately, having some extra hands on deck would be very useful. As such, I would like to optionally seek a new permanent web developer, specifically in the realm of backend development (extension installations, bug fixes, etc.) There is no formal application for this, but if this interests you, please contact me @sodabeaches on Discord!
  
  As with the rest of the staff, this is a volunteer position! You will receive the same benefits as the rest of the staff, being that you will be rewarded in a staff-exclusive currency you can purchase items with, and be able to join in on our adopt batches and events!

Misc.

• Autumn stock is back in rotation!
• Emailing is currently not working, and anything that requires an email to be sent out will result in a 500 error. Unfortunately, due to further external issues, this isn’t something that can be fixed at the moment. As soon as it is within my control, it will be fixed, but until then, thank you for your patience!
• Our species rules have been updated! Although this was already announced on Discord, please read them over again if you missed that!

Upcoming:

• A staff adopt batch being sold for Duckies will be uploaded on the 10th!
• A new event will be up later today, which there will be a seperate news post for. Keep an eye out!
• Halloween this year too, yay!!
