RocketSnail has given an update on the announcement channel on the official Box Critters discord. This is what he had to say:

MONDAY: This week I am busy working on chat logs (which includes profiles, mute and report), minigames, server scaling and new registration system. The twins are busy creating rooms, new games and a secret opportunity. PapaD is busy on summer clothing. Pants is working on a multiplayer game prototype. Oh and Chilly is busy on summer outfits. Cosplay outfits and back to school.

It’s great to see the whole team are focused on getting many aspects of Box Critters up and going. I wonder what this ‘secret opportunity’ is? – What do you think it is?

Which update are you looking forward to seeing?

Monday is approaching and a new item of the week has been released. This week it’s the Pink Pirate Hat. To get to the shop, walk over to the shop at The Port.

• Pirate Vest – 100 coins
• Pink Superhero Cape – 50 coins
• Blue Shark – 400 coins
• Pink Pirate Hat – /freeitem

What new item do you like the best?

RocketSnail has added a logout page, so instead of pressing the sign out button and it saying in game ‘Disconnected from Box Critters’, it will now redirect you to a page with this:

RocketSnail has also announced the following:

UPDATE: Moving back to a single domain name for Box Critters. My goal has been to find a simple solution for development and running a single domain seems to be easier to maintain. As I learn more about modern browsers and Cloud servers it’s amazing all the tools available since I made Club Penguin. I am working on a couple ideas to help Box Critters scale. My personal goal is 1000 people in the Port. Curious if this is even possible.

What does this mean? Well Box Critters is now on a single domain, you can play the game at https://boxcritters.com/ again instead of play.boxcritters.com.

The card game has been removed and is in the process of being written in HTML 5. It’s still playable outside Box Critters at https://boxcritters.com/games/cardgame3/

I love these outfits, do you? – I can’t wait for these to come out, they look amazing!

Rocketsnail has tweeted on his personal account Lance Priebe calling out any artists that love to create backgrounds like Club Penguin.

The image in his tweet is the Crash Site on Box Critters. If you are available between August and September and are an artist that likes to create backgrounds like Club Penguin and would like to help Lance, make sure you reply to the tweet.

Box Critters have updated the chat emote icon to now show a window with a message saying they are working on a chat log. Take a look:

It’s great to see that we will get a chat log in the future! Are you looking forward to this?

If you open up the shop in game you will now notice the shopkeeper at the top of the window. The shopkeeper in the future will give you the ability to talk to him and unlock additional items. Take a look at the animation show far:

He is now at the top of the shop in game, looking like this:

Are you looking forward to the shopkeeper? I can’t wait to chat with him.

Rocketsnail has announced a few new updates to Box Critters. He has given every critter who has logged in within the past 7 days 1000 coins.

RocketSnail mentioned that development is ongoing and they are working really hard on getting ways of you earning coins but in the meantime has given critters some coins.

This is what he had to say:

It’s great to see that Rocketsnail has hired two new developers to help and they are doing all they can to get mini-games that can earn coins!
