Happy New Years 2025! January Newsletter
Posted 3 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by ApolloHello everyone, 2024 was a rough year for a lot of folks (us included) and we know even just as far as the species goes, 2024 was just as rough. Heading into 2025, we have a lot of big plans and updates that we'd like to do over the course of this year.
I hope 2025 treats everyone well, and here's to the new year! Thank you as always for sticking with us.
Staff Updates
First things first off the bat, we have several members on staff who are going into retirement soon (after some tasks are finished up,) or have already gone into retirement. We wish everyone well, and hope to continue to see them around the community. Thank you everyone for all your hard work for your time with us!
Following this, we are looking to open staff applications next month in Feburary.
I know it's always a topic people ask about, especially if there's a lot of staff changes ongoing at the time. We are looking to restructure staff a bit as a whole (like assigning specfic tasks and being split into groups) to make the job a bit more streamlined for everyone involved, which will help to benefit the community by having more dedicated focus groups.
Birthday Gifts
User's now get a special birthday box gifted to them on the first of their birthday month, due to the Lorekeeper birthday rewards extension by CH3RVB and Moif!
This extension also allows users to set their birthday display to be visible to members only, or only display the month. Birthday gifts are an automatic feature and will be granted to ALL accounts that have their birthday set to some level of visbility (public or sitewise.)
Due to this, if you have your account's birthday settings private you will not get the gift. They have to be visible to some degree!
Anyone born in January who did not have their birthday visible and missed the gift, may send in a report or a message a staff member on discord to get their gift- due to the suddenness of this update, however, in the future we will not grant gifts to any users who miss it!
Birthday Boxes are set and will include a prize of 500 sanddollars, a rare treat, as well as a birthday cupcake collectable item for the current year.
Archie's emporium updates
Archie's shop is finally getting his long-awaited return and overhaul!
He will now be running a shop that takes starfish and sanddollars as currency, and he'll still continue to sell runestones as he did so previously- along with a plethora of new merchandise and items! He has also gained a new and updated banner for his shop.
These items prices have been set to reflect the current state of our Starfish and Sand Dollar economy and are subject to be changed in the future as it evens out.
Archie's will have a rotating stock of items, and will restock at the first every month!
Items are a monthly limit per user, and not first-come-first-serve.
Here's some of the new items you will be seeing in there!
Multiplier Statue
A small statue that can fit in the palm of your paw!
It is imbued with the power to grant your character any one of the following traits.
Only one trait can be used from the list above.
Sand Sculpting Kit
"Hey look, a kit for making sand sculptures! I wonder what we could do with this..."
Gives your character the Shaped Sand trait!
Shaped Sand comes in several different styles, refer to it's trait description to see everything currently available.
The sand sculpting kit will only provide one kind of shaped sand to add to your character.
Any addtional kinds of shaped sand will need another kit, or legendary treat.
Self-Breed Restoration Slot
This ticket grants the ability to add one additional self-breed slot to a character of your choice!
You can attach this item when submitting a self-breed design for approval, just make sure to mention which parent the item is being used for.
Scratch Tickets
Purchase at your own discretion, items will not be re-rolled or refunded after purchase.
Make sure you are okay and comfortable with the fact that you might end up with an item you won't like and/or use!
Scratch tickets are purchased with fake on-site currency and are entirely just for fun.
Rare ticket will give you a random rare trait
Legendary ticket will give you a random legendary trait
Mythical ticket will give you anything from a random legendary trait, species potion, or a mythical trait.
You can only will one prize per ticket!
monthly starfish raffle
https://waterdogworld.com/character/MOD-8217
This month's starfish raffle design is by GREML0RD !
You can enter for this raffle design by purchasing this month's ticket over in Archie's Emporium under the "Raffle Tickets" tab for 25 starfish each!
Raffle Tickets for starfish designs will now be purchaseable at Archie's instead of the Sand Shop!
Last Month's winner has been rolled and the winner is PeachTea congratulations!
Tide Pool updates
Following the latest discussions around the tide pool, and staff's own discussions on it, we've decided on some changes to the shop going forward.
Of course, if things don't work we can always make more changes later! Don't ever consider anything here 100% permanent, we want to try different things and solutions to try and make the community experience better, and if something we do doesn't work it can always be changed in the future.
The free prompt submission limit will be lowered from 3 per month, to 2.
Starfish output rates have been raised accordingly for this!
We will be opening up another prompt for the tide pool alongside this change, for people who want to be able to use their own items and design just for the fun of it. This was something that was widely requested when the tide pool first opened up by members of the community, and we want to make it happen.
The first submission will reward starfish per month, but each submission afterwards will not. This prompt has a limit of 3 submissions per month.
No-Item Prompt
This prompt does not require items of any kind to submit to it.
Prompt limits are set to 2 a month per user, and will reward you with 35 starfish each.
Dogs only, up to 1 rare trait- no legendary or mythical.
https://waterdogworld.com/prompts/86
Items Required Prompt
This prompt requires items to be submitted with the design! This prompt will reward only the first submission per month, based on the above pricing guidelines!
This prompt is good for users who like to design and want to use any items they might have, but don't want them for themselves.
https://waterdogworld.com/prompts/113
monthly prompt
The prompt this month is focused entirely on New Years Celebrations, or New Years Resolutions!
Does your character do anything specific to celebrate, or anything they want to do this year?
Draw or write about it!
Writing must be at least 500 words.
You can find the monthly prompt located here - https://waterdogworld.com/prompts/112
Species hiatus
We wanted to announce that starting next month, there will be a planned species hiatus from Feburary - April.
We wanted to give you guys a month's notice heads up in advance, to help plan everything out accordingly.
During this time we will be focusing on hiring and training new staff members, continuing our work on the masterlist updates, art and site asset updates, and giving more time to focus on coding and overall site updates and improvements.
Ideally, we would like to upgrade our site's lorekeeper version to v3, as well as looking into several site extensions and QOL updates.
During this hiatus, we will be closing down several aspects of the website, which include
- MYO Submissions
- Tide Pool Submissions
- Prompt Submissions
- Site Events (such as Easter)
Design Updates will still be allowed over this timeframe!
The hiatus could possibly be shorter than planned if everything continues to go smoothly and we end up getting done what we have planned beforehand, but for now the deadline we're looking at is April.
We understand this is rather upsetting news, and is quite a bit of a break from a lot of aspects to the species, but ultimately things are a bit messy and disorganized, and we want to take more time to be able to focus strictly on taking care of everything that we need to. We aim to bring a better experience to the community and this is going to be our first step into doing so.
Any artwork created over the duration of the hiatus is welcome to be submitted to the sand bank after the hiatus is up!
re-working the sand bank is one of our priorites over the hiatus, and to create a higher reward output for submitted artwork.
*NEW* Site themes have been updated
The waterdog month 2023, valentines, halloween, and winter themes have been given a new look with the new year!
While we'd like them to be perfect it's likely a few values were missed accross the four themes so a thread in the discord server has been created to share screenshots so anything can be fixed asap.

Decemeber's Dailies Issue
Posted 3 weeks ago :: Last edited 3 weeks ago by G0DSYNDR0M3UPDATE:
All incorrect trophies + logs should be removed now! We'll manually grant the correct 2024 trophy once the day is over so we can see the total number of people who claimed all 24 days and grant the trophies all at once and (hopefully) not miss anyone then if we grant it through-out the day!
Apologies again for the mess-up :')
___________
Hi all!
We're aware that for those who collected all days of our winter advent that today's advent (day 24 out of 24) gives out the wrong trophy! These will be switched out later today when possible with the correct year's trophies!
Apologies for the confusion!

Secret Santa + Tide Pool Announcement
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by AlienOddity
Hello everyone!
We have a couple announcements to go over with you guys today, specifically Secret Santa as well as we will be closing down the tide pool shop for the month of December. While we know this isn't desirable to hear so soon to the end of the month, regarding the tide pool, but we will be closing it down just a few reasons
- Giving our team a small break for the holiday season.
- We'll be looking into new features and QOL additions for the website that we'll apply when we can.
- We are looking into restructuring the shop, and the starfish currency (new ways to use it) and will be opening up a community discussion with some of our thoughts and ideas- and we want to hear your thoughts and opinions! We'll be opening a suggestion thread in the discord, as well as an anonymous google form for anybody who's more comfortable with that.
Tide Pool / Starfish Discussion Form
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsxdVXeGzcr53H392hEQ_UXLcJtAvCkjQezNAar4qEk1cziA/viewform?usp=sf_link
WHAT IS SECRET SANTA?
Secret Santa is a fun event where we anonymously exchange art pieces! Each member who wishes to enter will be assigned another member to create an art piece for! The identity of the gift giver is secret, and won't be revealed until the gift has been given. For our Waterdog specific event, you'll be assigned another Waterdog owner, and you'll have a few weeks to create an art piece of one of their Waterdog/Watercat characters!
GENERAL RULES
- Only official Waterdogs/cats can be entered for the event. This means they must have a masterlist entry on-site to be valid!
- Don't spoil the surprise! Keep your identity a secret to the person you're drawing for.
- Once you enter the Secret Santa, you cannot back out (except for very special circumstances.)
- All art must be completed and gifted by January 1st.
Please let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you need to drop out of the event due to an emergency so we can have someone fill in for you.
Note that this is only in the event of an emergency - if you do not tell us or drop out for reasons that do not qualify as an emergency, then you will be blacklisted from entering future events on the website.HOW TO ENTER
CLICK ME TO ENTER!
Please enter using the Google form above. Your submission will be logged and entered into a spreadsheet which will become accessible by the community after entries close.
You can also check yes or no for whether or not you'd like to be a backup artist! We'll be compiling a list of backup artists and randomly assigning them via DMs to anyone who did not receive an art piece by the deadline (December 31st.)
Once entries close on December 1st, we will randomly assign you a community member to draw for, and you will receive a DM on Discord (or on here, in the case you do not have a discord account) with their username and a link to their character(s). Please be patient with us, this may take some time!
REQUIREMENTS FOR ART PIECESYour gift art must follow these general guidelines
- It should at minimum be one clean art piece with clear effort
- Your piece must be decently lined and coloured
- Traditional and digital art are both allowed
- Backgrounds are not required
We strongly recommend that you draw a complete fullbody. The less of the body you draw, the more detailed the rest of your piece should be!
You are more than welcome to draw more little pieces for your community member, just make sure that you have one piece that explicitly fits the requirements above to be given as a main gift!
ART SUBMISSIONSOnce you have completed your gift, please send Waterdoge a DM on Discord with your piece (or your main piece if you have/plan on doing multiple!) We won't be uploading it for you, this is just so we can record your gift as done.
If you finish before Christmas (December 25th) DO NOT share your art piece! Once your art piece is finished, hold on to it and just DM us with your art. On Christmas Day, you may start posting your art! All art pieces must be posted or sent to their owner by 11:59 CST on December 31st, 2024. There will be a new gallery to share your gifts in here on the website named Secret Santa 2024 which will become available on the 25th.
Secret Santa gifts will be given an SD bonus! Your main art piece will be given a flat bonus of 300 SD on top of however much you gain on submitting it to the bank. Any extra gifts you make for your gift receiver will earn an extra 100 SD!
NOTE: You will only be able to redeem your SD (and the bonus) for Secret Santa gifts through a special prompt on the website that will open up on the 25th of December. The first piece of art you submit will gain the 300 SD bonus, all other submissions you make after that will receive 100!**Please don't try to scrape together something quick on the last day. We want this to be special for EVERYONE participating, and that means putting thought and effort into your art. Anyone who does not complete their art piece will likely be blacklisted from similar events in the future, without prior communication to the staff team.
BACKUP SANTASIf you submitted your entry form with the offer to become a backup artist if necessary, we thank you very much!!
Hopefully, we won't need to contact you - if you don't hear from us, don't worry, no news is good news in this case. If we do require a backup artist, we'll DM you with the extra details after the initial deadline passes by. We can't have anyone going giftless this holiday season, can we? - Only official Waterdogs/cats can be entered for the event. This means they must have a masterlist entry on-site to be valid!
Tide Pool Updates
Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by AlienOddityEdit November 21st
Hello everyone, some more lil tidepool quality of life updates for you!
We have coded in:
- A check to prevent co-owned designs from being surrendered, so long as they're connected via the site co-own feature.
- A check to make sure users can't purchase their own surrenders, or tidepool designs created via the prompt. (You can still purchase designs you made/previously owned, as long as they were not submitted to the shop by you.)
- A counter to make sure surrendered designs have been owned for at least 30 days before surrendering. Surrenders will now automatically send an error message if this criteria has not been met.
We hope this makes your tidepool-ing experiences easier, and feel free to reach out if there's any issues with the code!
Big thank you to Kite for coding these in! 💕
---
Hey everyone!
We know it's late, but we have a very important announcement to make regarding the tide pool and some updates for it.
Recently, I had commissioned a custom code for the shop, placing some limits onto it. This includes
- A monthly purchase limit per user. Users can purchase 3 characters each month from The Tide Pool. This number should reset on the 1st of each month.
- Custom cooldown for the shop, characters adopted will now have a 30 day cooldown placed on them. This will prevent them from being sold or traded to other users.
(Users can still purchase a design as a gift for somebody else, and just submit a report or a ticket to have them transferred by a mod. This will still use one of your purchase slots for the month, however, for the user who purchased it!)
- You will not be able to surrender designs that you have owned for under 30 days.
We hope these changes will encourage everyone to think if they truly want a design before purchasing, and allow for more people to be able to use and interact with the shop.
We understand this might be upsetting for some, but ultimately this feels like a step in the right direction upon fixing a lot of the current issues within the shop.
Big shout outs and thank you to Min in the lorekeeper discord server for doing the custom coding for us! 💕

New mythical trait - shapeshifting
Another highly-request trait we're adding into the mix, is shapeshifting! This will be a brand new mythical tiered trait, right along with multiform, and will allow your character 1 additional species form.
This new form can be any exisiting real world animal, or fantasty creature- and yes this does include dogs/cats/big cats! If you've ever wanted your character to have both a dog and a cat form, now you can!
The alternate form must include water on the design, they need to be reconizable as the same character, just with another species' form.
This new trait will only be availble through the event shop in a limited quanity. We will have five winners total for the shapeshifter potion, and winners will be drawn on Halloween day - Thursday October 31st 2024.
This trait can be passed down in official breeding batches from the staff team- but cannot be passed with self-breeds. Similar to multiform!
