The Impys Update – v2.21

Say hi to update 2.21, dreamers. We don’t know about you, but all we can think about right now is the Impys! Speaking of which, naturally this update is about Impys features... but that’s not all! There’s also Message of the Day, a new social page, a notifications overhaul, search filters for My Creations, and more. Check out the details below.

What's New?#

  • 2nd Annual Impy Awards Features: The 2nd Annual Impy Awards are right around the corner, and this update prepares the Dreamiverse for their arrival! We’re adding new imps, new playlists, and of course getting the awards ready for our winners and nominees once the show is over. Oh, and you’ll see a brand new boot image when loading up the game – time to celebrate! *Once this patch is downloaded, all players who have completed the Impys Hub scavenger hunt will receive the Fitz and Renee imps*

  • Message of the Day: To keep all dreamers up to date with the latest goings-on inside and outside of the Dreamiverse, we’re introducing a Message of the Day! You’ll find the latest Message of the Day at the top of the main menu, and you’ll be able to recap on previous messages via the Highlights area.

  • Notifications Update: Ever wish similar notifications would group together so they don't clog your feed? We've now grouped thumbs up and follows, so you get a collective view of what's happened. Players’ notification areas have had an overhaul – the layout is now a playlist-style design, allowing for easier notification management.

  • New Social Page: On a dreamer’s profile, or a creation’s cover page, you’ll now see a new Social area! This makes it easier to see the engagements (thumbs up, comments etc.) associated with the dreamer or creation.
