Are you a new member looking for help on how to get started?
You've come to the right place!
Below is a guide on how to get started on the website!
It covers all parts of the experience, from character creation to the ARPG.
Feel free to come back if you're ever feeling lost and need some pointers!
✦ CREATING YOUR FIRST CHARACTER - FREE MYO GUIDE ✦
In order to create a Tatsukoi character, you must have a MYO (Make your own) slot.
All new members may claim a slot for free from the Free Gift shop!
In order to obtain your slot, select the MYO Ticket and click the "Use Slot" option!
This free slot has a few requirements! It can only use traits up to layer three, and it has two additional prompts that must be drawn in order to be approved. These should be linked in the comments when you submit this MYO for approval.
The drawings must show the Tatsukoi's full body, have clean lines (cleaned up sketches are fine), and must be fully colored. Shading is not required. These do not need backgrounds, but you are free to add them if you would like! Step 3 is encouraged to have a transparent background as it will be used as the masterlist art for your Tatsukoi!
You may also use these free to use bases for your design if you would like!
FREE BASE (BABY) / FREE BASE (ADULT)
The steps are as follows:
STEP 1:
Draw your Tatsukoi during their childhood! What were they like then?
Did they look much different than they do now?
STEP 2:
Draw your Tatsukoi just before their first climb up the falls! What did they bring with them? (This drawing should have them with no traits other than Layer 1 traits)
Did they leave their home layer at all? If not, draw them something they like doing!
STEP 3:
Draw your Tatsukoi as they are now! What layer have they settled on for the time being? This drawing will be your Tatsukoi's masterlist image! Please do not include clothing on this art, accessories are fine though!
Here is an example of each step using my own Tatsukoi Pepper!
✦ I'VE GOT MY CHARACTER... NOW WHAT? ✦
Once you've got a Tatsukoi of your own, you can start participating in prompts and other events with them!
All of our prompts can be found here!
There are several different categories of prompts, you can read about them here!
Almost all prompts will reward gold, a currency that can be used to buy upgrades for your Tatsukoi, trait items, pets, and additional MYO slots! Many prompts will also reward treasure chests, which contain crafting items (which you can use to craft upgrades instead of purchasing them) and rare pets!
Sometimes we also host limited time events which may have other rewards! Be sure to read the latest news for any info on upcoming or current events!
✦ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ✦
If you're interested in obtaining additional Tatsukoi, there are several ways of doing so!
As previously stated, you can purchase additional MYO slots, but you can also obtain additional slots and premade Tatsukoi designs through raffles and sales!
