Greetings Fanlings,

We are writing to announce an important update regarding Goatlings’ leadership and operations.

Effective immediately, Goatlings.com is fully managed and owned by a new admin team. Krisgoat has formally stepped down from all staff roles and will not be involved in moderation, management, or future site developments as of this news post.

The new admin team wants to thank Krisgoat for founding Goatlings.com and for the many years of work that went into building the site and its community. As Goatlings.com moves forward, we will be responsible for all decisions, operations, and communication.

Below, our team will introduce themselves so members can better understand who is now overseeing the site. Each of us brings either long-term experience as a Goatlings.com player, experience moderating other virtual pet communities, or both.

Our focus is improving and maintaining Goatlings.com as a creative and welcoming space for players. Additional updates about site plans and staffing will be shared through the dev log shortly.

Comments on this post are locked so we can move forward without reopening past speculation or conflict. Please respect the privacy of the new admin team and the former staff so that Goaltings.com can move forward to a positive future.

Welcome to Spotlight Blu
A monthly creative prompt event based on the Bulletin Boards! Spotlight Blu is a combination and revamp of two retired events: Studio Blu and Goatling Spotlight. Studio Blu was a drawing prompt game in our official Discord, and Goatling Spotlight featured Goatlings in the on-site News. Spotlight Blu merges these events on the Bulletin Boards for more members to enjoy!

How it works
At the beginning of each month, an inspirational theme will be posted in the News. Members wishing to participate can draw, or write a short story/poem about their Goatling using the theme as a guide! Their entry can be submitted to that months' Bulletin Board.

Prizes
A Spotlight Blu Trophy will be awarded to every member when their entry is Accepted. Spotlight Blu Trophy can be collected, traded in for a classic Studio Blu/Goatling Spotlight Trophies, or other prizes from Blu's Trophy Trade Shop.

At the end of the month, two of our favorite entries will be featured on the site News! Additional items are not available for featured entries.



The Spotlight Blu prompt for October was: Cooking!
And the featured entries are by:

@Rootbeer (Give Love!)
Artist's Note: Sometimes Stagstride only has time to make a simple mushroom soup after a long day of work and read the local news. Despite how warm and comforting the soup may may be, he can’t help but think wistfully of a delicious veggie burger instead…but for now, he’ll just enjoy what’s right in front of him



and @ii_Far (Give Love!)

A wonderfully... interesting smell wafts out of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Shroom. Today was a very important day. After all, it was Sherman Shroom's birthday! Mish Shroom had spent all day preparing the meal she had made for when her dear husband returns home. Sherman had been out in the town all day, working at his very own wood working shop. As much as Mish didn't like him working on his birthday, it certainly gave her enough time to make sure he came home to a nice, hot meal.

Working so diligently on her meal, Mish didn't notice Sherman coming home early. With a beautiful fall bouquet in his mouth, he couldn't help but wonder what the wonderful smell carried by the wind was.

The front door swung open with a loud, sing-songy, "Helloooo~!" from Sherman. Mish jumped and shrieked, nearly dropping the bowl of pie filling she was mixing.

"Sherman?! What are you doing home?" Mish asked, poking her head out into the living room where Sherman was wiping his hooves. "The flower shop across the street from our shop displayed these lovely flowers!" Sherman beamed, handing the bouquet to his wife. "I couldn't help but see them and think, 'Misshy was right! I should be home today!'" He stood proudly.

Mish's heart melted as she accepted the bouquet, putting the mixing bowl down to fill up a vase to display the flowers. "I'm glad you're home, mi'love, but I haven't finished your dinner! I was going to surprise you with your favourite," Mish sighed, watching Sherman's surprised face as he trotted into the kitchen and saw the meal-in-progress.

"Sorry for interupting. How very kind of you! Why don't I help and take some pressure off of your hooves?" He asked, already picking up the mixing bowl.

"I'm sorry you're having to work even after coming home," Mish sighed, rubbing lovingly against Sherman.

"Nonsense, getting to spend the day cooking with you is the best gift I could've ever asked for," He replied, gently pecking his wife on the cheek.

Sherman and Mish spent a few hours cooking and baking together, laughing and talking the whole time. They were left with a few days of leftovers, and passed out cuddled on the couch from a food coma (only half way through the movie Sherman picked to watch).

Greetings Fanlings!

The residents of the Goatlings Kingdom would like to share a very special end-of-year tradition!

All year long Goatlings save their biggest and prettiest Sugar Stars and turn them into charms. On the last day of the year (December 31st) Goatlings gather together and stay up late in order to greet the New Year at midnight! In the hours before midnight, the Sugar Star Charms are given to others to express an important message. The color of each charm represents something different.


Pink - I care about you, you're my good friend!
Blue - You're appreciated, I'm glad you're here!
Yellow - Good luck and prosperity in the New Year!
Purple - I love you!
Orange - I'm sorry.
Green - I forgive you.
White - Thank you!
So, if you've have something meaningful to say to someone but haven't had a good chance yet, or it's too hard to say out loud, the Sugar Star Festival is the perfect time to let it out!


The Goat Princess will be passing out free Sugar Star Charm Boxes every few days until the last week of December! When opened, you will receive a random Sugar Star Charm! Save them until Dec 31st to give them to someone you care about!

Send a Sugar Star Charm to another member by clicking the charm in your inventory, choose 'Give To Friend' from the drop down menu and click 'Use', then enter the member's name and click 'Send Item'.

CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE PRINCESS
and enter the code:
FESTIVAL

Please note: The Princess Gift page will not work on some mobile browsers.



Additional Sugar Star Charms and Sugar Star Charm Boxes can be found in the Diamond Dust shop and during Saturday Night Bidding Wars! Sugar Star Festival items will not retire, however they will only be available in December.
