Hi, everyone—I was really hoping to avoid this after having to close MYO submissions and design updates last week, but I just can't keep up with the rate they've been coming in right now.

For those unaware, as a result of flying to my parents' house to say goodbye to my childhood cat last week, I caught covid for the first time. It's really been a bad week. Thanks to being up-to-date on vaccinations, and starting paxlovid within the first 24 hours of developing symptoms, I'm not in any danger, but I'm feeling pretty sick, and have a very limited amount of energy to put towards Succubuns work.  

This month, I still need to update the current event each week, judge the Create-an-Imp contest and put the finalists up for voting, select and onboard new GAs, and finish preparing the September event (...to the best of my abilities), and I worry that I won't be able to get everything done on time if I spend hours on approvals every day. The only other person qualified to do approvals to site standards is Yves, who fortunately did not catch covid from me, but currently has their hands full with taking care of me and doing their actual job.

I'll chip away at the designs currently in the queue over the next few days, and will re-evaluate how I'm feeling and hopefully reopen the queue again on Monday. I don't like preventing people from submitting their buns, but I think it will be easier for me to rest and get other important work done without worrying about dozens of submissions piling up every day. 

Sorry to everyone who will be inconvenienced by this; I wish I could go back to work at full steam this week, too.

MYO submissions and design approvals are open again. Thank you everyone for your patience.

Hello all!
We're aware that many users used up their stamina before the lovely harpups made their way onto the scene!
Luca wanted to keep this a surprise from me, and so I couldn't give gameplay thoughts like that which I normally would when we put up a mini-event like this haha~

To remedy this, the Harpup migration errand will be extended till August 12th at rollover so everyone has a chance to do some more errands~

This should ensure every user has a chance to get some harpup pals~
Thank you for all the kind words and birthday wishes-- I love succubuns and this community so much, and I'm so happy to be able to celebrate with you all. Make sure you enjoy yourself today on my behalf!

Hello, Burrowgatory!

Today is is an annual event known as the harpup migration. Towards the end of the summer as the tides shift, these cute little imps wiggle and roll their way from the Forneus Sea to distant caverns unknown, passing near the city of Burrowgatory on the way. For whatever reason, this day always seems to fall exactly on August 11th…

Only on August 11th, you can complete the Harpup Migration errand to catch harpups.

Everyone, please join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Yves.

Succubuns is made from lots of different things I love, but it wouldn’t exist at all without my love for Yves. I wanted to make a game that they would enjoy playing as much as all the other ARPGs we’ve played together, where they could make whatever storylines they wanted with their characters without worrying about them being inappropriate, and where I could design them as many little guys as they wanted without having to worry about getting MYO slots for other adoptable species. That last one may have fallen to the wayside as I’ve become too busy creating site content to design many buns, but it still makes me so happy to see how much fun they have collecting and creating succubuns!

None of this would be possible without Yves. They encouraged me to develop the idea of Succubuns when I was in a rut and unsure of where to go with my artistic career, they figured out how to use Lorekeeper and built Succubuns.com for me, they helped to build and manage the community and the mechanical side of the game, and they supported me for the two years of development it took for Succubuns to start earning me a living wage. I am so, so grateful for everything Yves has done, and I’m so glad that a project that we created to make each other happy could inspire so many other people.

Happy birthday, Yves, and thank you for everything you’ve done for me, and for Succubuns!

Content warning for pet death.

Hi, everyone, this is Luca. I just found out that my childhood cat has gotten very sick, and she's likely not going to hang on much longer. I'm flying out to my mom's house tonight to say goodbye to her while I can.

MYO submissions and Design Updates will be temporarily closed while I'm gone. I'll update you all again when they're back up in a few days. Thank you all for understanding.

The first week of the Imp Training Camp competition has come to an end, and the competitors have blown the week one goal out of the water! As Team Peach has taken a hefty lead, Quince has prepared a reward for you all.

"Good work out there, everyone! I've whipped up a little treat to keep your energy up—dessert before dinner's always a winner!"

The week 2 milestone is 4000 imp tricks. Good luck, everyone!

Hello, Burrowgatory!

This is a reminder that guest artist applications close three days from now. Don't forget to get your applications in if you're interested in joining the Succubuns guest artist team!

Succubun Trade-Ins

We'd also like to announce a new feature that will be coming to the site on September 1st, when the new GA system comes into effect: Succubun Trade-Ins.

Once a month, players will be able to trade in an unwanted official succubun for a Hell in a Handbasket. These traded-in succubuns will be held on the admin account to later be resold, raffled, or used as contest prizes. (Note: MYO succubuns will not be eligible for trade-ins.)

We hope that this feature will both allow us to offer more free succubun opportunities for our players, and will allow players to have an easy way to trade designs they've lost attachment to in exchange for an opportunity create new designs they'll love!

With the addition of the Succubun Trade-In feature on September 1st, we will no longer be allowing official succubuns (those with IDs starting with BUN-###) to be redesigned, unless done by the original artist. Doll forms and MYO buns will still be able to be changed freely, but official bun art will no longer be able to be replaced with art by a different artist. We understand that some players may be upset by this change, so Luca has prepared a statement explaining the reasoning behind our decision.

Hello, Burrowgatory!

As promised, guest artist applications for the September-December 2023 season are now open until August 10th. We're so excited to welcome some new members to the team for the first time since last December!

You can read up on the rules, responsibilities, and rewards of being a guest artist on our Succubuns Guest Artists page. After thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the requirements, follow the link at the bottom of the page to submit your application!

Succubuns Guest Artist Info

Before we get to this month's event, we have an exciting announcment:

Succubuns is now on Patreon!

If you've ever wanted the chance to give Succubuns a little extra support, you can pledge to a variety of monthly tiers to receive an exclusive award for your profile, previews of upcoming events and adopts, access to a patron-only channel in our Discord server, NSFW illustrations of the NPCs, and all sorts of in-game goodies.

Funds from our Patreon will pay for our moderator team, site coders, rising site maintenance costs, new types of merchandise, and other incidental expenses. Anything left over will help the site creators earn a more consistent income for full-time work on the site than adoptable sales are able to provide.

Let's spend some quality time with bun's best friend!

Imp Training Camp

A rival pet has shop moved in across the street from the Imporium, and Hutch has decided to host a free imp training event to drum up business. Unfortunately, this seems to have done the opposite of deterring Quince, the owner of Pedigree Pets, whom Hutch seems to have some history with...

This event will be our first ever team competition event. Pick a side and earn points for your team to effect the outcome of the event!

For the duration of this event, the Imporium will be accessible without the Imporium Key. Take this chance to adopt a new imp friend today!

Check out the Imp Training Camp page for more information, and to collect your daily sesame treat.

New NPC: Quince

The headstrong Quince has always been passionate about food and sweets. After being introduced to the world of imp care by Hutch a few years back, she became fascinated by the strange effects her sweets had on imps, and threw herself into experimenting with the new imp species that evolved as a result.

Read more about Quince on her profile, or get to know her in the new NPC prompt.

Pedigree Pets

Pedigree Pets has opened its doors, offering a variety of fanciful and bizarre "pedigree imps" to discerning imp owners. Would you like to take home a cribbit, lepidaisy, stellaram, or stroodle?

Every month, a new pedigree imp will be released based on Patreon poll results, and the oldest imp in stock will be cycled out. (Since the starting stock of 4 imps is being released all at once, cribbit will be the first to be cycled out in September, followed by lepidaisy, and so on.)

Though the average customer may get sticker shock at the price Quince charges for these cuties, she'll gladly trade one in exchange for some of Dan's limited deluxe sweets...

Patrons who pledge $10 or more a month will receive one Wagashi, which functions as a coupon allowing the purchase of any imp currently in stock at Pedigree Pets. All players can also purchase one Wagashi a month for carats at Dan's Dango.

Create-An-Imp Contest

Since imps were first introduced to Succubuns.com, there have been twelve species permanently available to adopt at the Imporium. For the Succubuns anniversary in October, we'll be adding four new basic imps to this lineup. Three of these imps will be designed and voted on by you!

Check out the Create-An-Imp Contest page for more information.

Meet Impup!

Impup is a new standard imp, now available in the Imp Training Camp event shop, and as a reward for participating in the imp competition event. During this event, you can collect drops from your impups to earn points for your team!

Impup will join the three winners of the Create-An-Imp contest in the Imporium this October.

New Dango Flavors

Dan's Dango is now carrying Watermelon, Peach, Yuzu, and Raspberry Dango. Treat any standard imp (including impup!) to one of these fruity, summery sweets to change them into one of four new colors: Magenta, Orange, Yellow, or Cyan.

The recipes for these dango have also been added to Dan's Recipe Book. If you've already completed the prompt Dango 101 and have opened the recipe book to unlock the dango recipes, please submit a claim with a link to your submission approval to receive the additional recipes.

Imp Tamer RAFFLE

This month's free raffle succubun comes with an attached chirop, phloof, and impup!

MONTHLY PROMPT

The August Monthly Prompt is now available.

Swimsuit Season

Thank you to everyone who filled out our Summer Feedback Form in June and July—your responses were incredibly helpful to us in determining how to handle future site content, merchandise, and Patreon. We hope you all enjoyed the longer, quieter event, and feel refreshed and ready to jump into the Imp Training Camp.

The Swimsuit Season event shop will remain open until August 7th, at which point all remaining seashells will disappear.
