Last Moon Revival News #1


Hello everyone,
Thank you for playing and taking an interest in Last Moon and what it's future looks like.

First of all, lets begin with some history . . .
Last Moon is a server based off an old 2007 game called 'Impressive Title' that was closed down for good in 2010 due to lack of security in the source codes. Even though it did not last long there were thousands of people who enjoyed the little 3D chat room where you run around as a custom made lion and because of this we decided to begin Last Moon to continue 'Impressive Title's life including new updates and features.
Last Moon has been running since Jan 2013 which now makes it 5 years and 3 months old. During this time we have moved from a free forum service to an official website, made it possible for players to play as other animal species, introduced a quests system and generally improved the game overall. We have had a lot of fun in this little community we can all call our own, so..

..We have big revival plans for Last Moon.
Everything is still TBD but we have many ideas. Our main goal is to make LM more 'modern'. More information will be announced once confirmation comes through.
A few of our original Last Moon staff team have decided to make a return to work with you all and make Last Moon great again.
For now keep an eye on this website for possible future announcements~

P.S. If anyone is interested in helping in any way just let me know :) whether its making stuff or not. Won't turn anyone away who wants to make their game better!

Our Radio hosted by CloudFish is currently playing some hype music to get the mood going -

Deadline for submissions has been extended to September 9th, 2015.

That’s right we’re having a contest!
We've been wanting to change the look of LM for a while now, and the thing that stuck out the most to us (And we’re probably not the only ones) Is the outdated Winter GUI. Although it doesn't go without saying that it is a gorgeously designed GUI, it’s been getting a bit too old for wear.

So we've come up with this!
We thought there could be no better way to get some community interaction into Last Moon than a good contest!
Here are the details.
Dutchval has collected most of the GUI and Main Menu’s components together, and has put them all together in a little zip folder for you all. These include the buttons, Mini-map, Main Menu Background, and more!
Please note that all the files in the folder are the exact names as they stand in the game’s files, so please do not change the names of the files. The only thing you can change is the name of the folder you will eventually be sending in.


RULES
1) In order for your entry to be accepted, you need to change each image file! We’ve taken the liberty to exclude which ones we don’t want changed, so everything that’s currently in the folder, is what we want altered.

2) You cannot change the file names, except the name of the zip folder you will be sending in.

3) As well, Do not re-size the images in anyway. We’d like to preserve this in case of anything funky happening if something changes.


HOW TO ENTER
1) Download the zip folder provided by us and open it.

2) Edit/Improve the image files you see. We want totally original designs, but how you design them (Image editing, hand drawn, etc) is up to you. All we are looking at is the final result. How you get there is up to you.

3) Re-zip your folder, and Rename it “[Username] GUI ENTRY” as your zip file name.
4) Upload to Mediafire (Or any site, for that matter, but at least somewhere we can download it).

5) Send a Private Forum Message to either Dutchval or Husky (or note xFatedDestinyx on dA) with the link to your Mediafire/uploaded zip folder.

6) Congrats! You’re in!


Prizes
The winner will get the following:
1) A custom forum title!

2) Two Diamonds!

3) Their GUI will be fully implemented into Last Moon!

Deadline
The deadline to hand in your GUI is September 9th at 12 PM GMT! Any entries afterwards will be discarded.

Have fun, and be sure to hop over to lastmoon.org to keep up with all updates and the community!

Thanks loves, xFatedDestinyx
Now that we've got a little help with modelling and meshes, we've decided to compile a list of prey (e.g. mice, lizards, moose) and meshes for maps (e.g. seaweed, rocks, different types of trees) and thought we may as well ask the players what they want!
So go ahead and comment what prey/meshes you'd like to see implemented in the game below.~

Thanks loves, xFatedDestinyx

Hello again everyone! Hope you've all been well since our last little update thread was posted. As you know, we have been working to open up preset submissions again for all of the members in Last Moon, and that time is here. We will however be adding them in in clusters, so you may have to be patient in order to get it in-game. Our staff has been working hard to benefit all players with new ideas and plans to help Last Moon along on its own unique path. Now, onto the nit and grit of the update shall we.

Preset Submissions
As mentioned above, preset submission are now open!. Each preset will cost TEN USD or THREE diamond medals.
Each player will have a limit of EIGHT presets.
We hope you enjoy making and having your unique characters in-game!

Rules:
1) Your Preset’s files need to be correctly named. Your .MATERIAL file needs to use the PS_ prefix. As well, all your image files need to be in PNG format, and use the HeadTex, ManeTex, TeethTex, BodyTex, TailTex, EyeTex, WingTex, (And ScrollTex if your preset is animated).

2)Your Preset cannot greater than or equal to 1MB (1000KB). This is way enough for a high quality preset, and even then 1 MB takes up ALOT of room. Please make your presets as small as possible. That is, for total size, not image size. If you are having trouble with your preset’s size, Use this website: tinypng.com/ to decrease the size of your preset. Infact, you should use it either way, to compress the size of your preset, without losing quality.

3)You must upload your files to Mediafire, zipped up. To make a .zip file, you need to put all your preset’s files, Script and all Image files, into a folder. Then right click, Send to… , Compressed (zipped) folder. Then upload your .zip file to Mediafire.

4)You are responsible to make sure if your preset works or not. If you are missing files, or your preset doesn’t work, I WILL NOT be running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out what is wrong. If your preset doesn’t work. Fix it, or have someone else fix it. Not me.

How to send in your preset:
1) Collect all your Preset’s Files, .material file, and all image files, and put it in a folder.

2) Zip up that folder into a .zip file

3) Upload the .zip file to Mediafire

4) Copy the link to the Mediafire download

5) Create a Message on the forums, (Personal Message, not Thread), and Paste the link to the Mediafire download onto the message body. Send it either to Me or Dutchval.

6) Click Send!

Forum Mod Applications
That’s right! Forum mod applications, starting right this moment, are now open! Think you got what it takes to help manage the forum? Make a forum mod application in the right subtopic in the apps topic or send it to either Me or Dutchval via PM. PLEASE follow the correct format stated while applying, otherwise we will not take your application seriously.
Everyone needs to make a new forum mod application, regardless if you made one before! (This applies to those who want to apply to the forum mod application, and not to existing staff members.)

Note
We’d like to personally thank all of you folks out there who enjoy Last Moon and all it has to offer. We value your unwavering patience and the sense of community you all have brought here, and appreciate all of the activity and suggestions. Hope you all have a nice day!
