Fallen Down Wrap

Thank you to everyone who's played along with the Fallen Down plot event. We've waiting so long to share this story with you, and it's been absolutely amazing to watch your excitement with every installment.

If you have yet to finish playing through the plot, we recommend you do so before reading the rest of this news post to avoid being spoiled!

 

For those who want to reread their favorite parts or revisit the plot at a later date, we've created an index of all of the plot pages.

The plot rewards will be available until the end of December 31st.

 

Cherubuns

With the conclusion of the Fallen Down plot, cherubuns have officially been introduced to Burrowgatory! It may take a little bit before more cherubuns are ready to brave the fall, but in the meanwhile, you can read more about them on the Cherubuns info page.

After falling in love with Dove, we know many of you are chomping at the bit to obtain your own cherubun characters. For the sake of transparency: the method to obtain cherubun MYOs was originally intended to be released in the beginning of January. However, due to the setbacks caused by the leaks earlier this month, the framework for it is not yet finished. We can’t promise exactly when we’ll be able to release them, but we’ll do our best to get them ready for you before the end of January!

To help curb any speculation and set your minds at ease: cherubun MYOs will not be purchasable for site currency or USD. Players will be able to earn cherubun MYO items by completing a series of endeavors involving different facets of Succubuns gameplay, including new features that are coming soon!

Every player will be able to obtain one cherubun MYO item a year, which will be account bound (though the cherubuns created with them will not be). These precious angels are few in number, and incredibly rare within Burrowgatory—we hope that earning one will feel like a truly special achievement.

 

New NPC: Dove

After a harrowing encounter with the self-righteous angel who raised them, Dove is finally here to stay in Burrowgatory. This brave and kindhearted cherubun is eager to indulge in everything their new home has to offer—even if their idea of “indulgence” is still rather adorably naive.

Read more about Dove on their profile, or get to know them in the new NPC prompt.

 

Demons' Favor

Ever since the launch of Succubuns, the Blessed Hell in a Handbasket item has been a source of confusion for new players who are uncertain if it differs from the standard Hell in a Handbasket. With the introduction of cherubuns, we foresee this becoming an even greater issue, with players potentially assuming that Blessed Handbaskets are used to create cherubuns, or that blessings in general have an association with cherubuns due to the nature of the word.

As such, we’ve decided to rename the currency from blessings to favor, and the item from Blessed Hell in a Handbasket to Hell in a Handbasket (Favor), bringing it in line with the Hell in a Handbasket (USD) item.

We apologize for the confusion this will inevitably cause current players, but looking towards the long term good of the site, we believe it will prevent far worse confusion for new players in the years to come.

Pillow Piles Update & Image URL Protections

Posted 5 months and 1 week ago :: Last edited 5 months and 4 days ago by Luca

Happy Holidays, Burrowgatory! We're excited to announce a new update to the Pillow Pile, as well as some changes made to Succubuns.com image URLs that may affect off-site projects.

Pillow Pile Update

In the spirit of giving, players are now able to donate carats directly to the Pillow Pile, which will keep a running score of your donation total and reward you with small thank-you gifts at milestones. Donating items will also increase your score, with sellable items like foods counting for their carat price, and non-sellable items counting for a set donation price (typically half of their shop price).

Carat donations must be a minimum of 10 carats, and 10% of carats donated will be taken by the Pillow Pile. Please be aware that carat donations stay as lump sums, so if you want to donate a large amount of carats to be split between several users instead of all going to one, please make sure to separate them into multiple donations! As a reminder, players can only claim one donation from the Pillow Pile per day.

Players who donate at least 2,000 carats over the course of their time in Succubuns will be honored with the Philanthropist award!

We hope that this update will make donating unneeded items feel a little more rewarding, and will help to liven up the Pillow Pile with more goodies for all.

 

Image URL Protections

We've made some changes to how Succubuns.com's image hosting works, as some players have already noticed due to embedded official images no longer working off-site (such as on Google Sheets, Toyhouse, or other websites).

Earlier this month, a player or players used URL manipulation to discover images of unreleased content planned for next month, and publicly leaked it on an anonymous third party platform. While we've successfully had the images removed from the web and dealt with those responsible, this was an extremely unpleasant and taxing incident for our team—it happened at just about the worst possible time, and spoiled upcoming content that we've been eagerly waiting to release for over a year now.

In order to prevent this from happening again, we've implemented new image URL protections for Succubuns.com. Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer be able to open official Succubuns images in new tabs, or embed them directly onto sites other than Succubuns.com. In exchange, however, we won't need to worry about leaks like this in the future, and can continue to pre-upload content as it's created to prevent update maintenance from taking multiple hours.

Scrambling to clean up this incident and put new protections in place has been very costly for our small team, and all planned content creation has been on halt for the past two weeks as our admin team and coders were forced to focus on resolving the leaks and putting these new protections in place. As a result, it's very likely that several new content updates and features that were planned to release within the next month will need to be pushed back, which we deeply apologize for.

We respectfully ask that you do not attempt to seek out any unreleased content, as doing so will devalue the countless hours of hard work we put into making new updates as exciting as possible for our players. We hope you're all looking forward to the next update of the Fallen Down plot tomorrow, and we thank you as always for enjoying and supporting Succubuns!

Plot Link Fix

Posted 5 months and 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 5 months and 2 weeks ago by Luca

Hello, Burrowgatory!

We've run into some issues with players reading through the Fallen Down Intro and receiving their Mysterious Feather, then reading the Bunnery segment next and losing the feather, thus getting locked out of the Rabbit Hole and Imporium segments that are supposed to go in between.

To make sure this doesn't happen again, we've removed the links to the plot pages from their respective shops; each page of the plot will now directly link to the next. Now that they can't be stumbled upon before reading the Intro, we've also removed the Mysterious Feather requirement from the Rabbit Hole and Imporium segments, so players who did them out of order can now go back and read them.

Please make sure to read the Intro, Rabbit Hole, Imporium, and Bunnery segments in that order if you want to experience the full story!
