Anniversary Beta Week

Posted 1 week ago :: Last edited 4 days ago by IIIXKitsuneXIII

Welcome to the Ketucari Anniversary celebration Beta week! 

 

We’re celebrating an entire decade of Ketucari! To celebrate the opening of the game and the anniversary of the first Beta week, we’re offering a free Geno to old and new players alike!
Open until August 1st!

 

I'm interested! How do I get started?

  Here are three good places to start:
Getting Started! 
Your First Week
Activity Requirements

You can find all sorts of useful links there and begin exploring the group to see if it floats your boat!

Make sure to create a ketucari.com account too!

How to get a free Geno:

  Make a journal, post, etc. on an art/lit site that allows advertisements with a link to the website and our anniversary beta event. We want to spread the celebration and free genos as far as we can! 

 Your next task will be to figure out what you'd like for your free semi-custom geno! This is a "thank you" from the group for taking part in our celebrations! Read the limitations below carefully:

 

Base semi-customs include:

    • Ww litter size gene + a lineage
    • Player's choice of a Smooth Feathered ketucari of one of the following formats
      • 4 common genes
      • 3 common genes + 1 uncommon gene
      • 2 uncommon genes
      • 1 rare gene
    • Uncommon marking may be swapped for horns as horns are considered genes OR an additional common marking
    • An uncommon gene may be used to apply tint or any of the Dun Modifier Coats or Sheen Modifier Coats!
    • A rare gene may be used to apply a feather type that is NOT smooth!
    • Any subspecies build released at the time of June 2026 may be chosen 
      You may want to take a look through our Design guides  to see the various gene options! Common genes are any with a pass rate of 45+. Uncommon have a pass rate of 20-40. Rare have a pass rate of anything below 20. 
    • IMPORTANT TOS NOTE: Free Beta Week semicustoms cannot be sold for real liife currency. They may be traded or gifted.


Finally, make a comment on this news post with a link to your advertisement and the Geno you'd like! You may ask for a randomized Geno if you'd like.

Phenotype: (Insert the markings you'd like)
Feather Type: (Smooth default) 
Build: (Standard/Ryno/Danuoc/Garoch)
Horns: (Select horn type or delete if not applicable)

Update!

We would like to give a chance to get an even more exciting semi-custom so we are offering the chance to add an additional gene by giving a gift to another player! 

If you create gift art or literature for another player you may upgrade your base semi-custom with your choice of Either a Feather type OR +1 gene of any rarity! Limit of 1 per person.
This would mean with gift art your semi custom format options would look like this
Feather type + 4 common genes
Feather type + 3 common genes + 1 uncommon gene
Feather type + 2 common genes
Feather type + 1 Rare gene
4 common genes + 1 gene of any rarity
3 common genes + 1 uncommon gene + 1 gene of any rarity
2 common genes + 1 gene of any rarity
1 rare gene + 1 gene of any rarity

You can search for ketucari who allow gift art and/or lit by using the advanced search options in the character masterlist page. There’s also a dedicated channel in our discord for people to share ketucari that they’d love to receive gift art/lit for!

This event has now been extended until August 1st to allow for plenty of time to complete art/lit.

Stay tuned for even more celebrations and a big group event to come! There will be even more opportunities for prizes as we continue to celebrate 10 years of Ketucari!

I wanted to let you know that we have made the decision to add a way to gain an additional marking/change feather type, and have lengthened the event as a result! Please respond to this comment to let us know if you’d like to keep your current request, or respond with an updated request.

Oh! What a lovely update, thank you for letting me know! :D Could I hold off on this geno then? I'd like to do the gift art option to swap their feather type, but definitely need some time to draw that ^^

Hello! Thank you for your interest and advertisement!
I wanted to let you know that we have made the decision to add a way to gain an additional marking/change feather type, and have lengthened the event as a result, so you may want to take a look and see if you’d like to change anything!

I also wanted to see if I could help with any possible confusion. Currently you have 3 uncommon genes listed: rosewood, which would be the tint gene, and eye rings, as well as the request for horns.
And 2 common genes: panagre and sooty.

Currently with the semi limits you could have a base color of buff, bronze, brown, or charcoal and then choose genes to add on. If you wanted to keep both rosewood base and eye rings then that would be 2 uncommon genes total and take up the gene allowance. Horns are considered uncommon genes so you also wouldn’t be able to add horns on this way.
If you wanted to choose only one of those listed uncommon genes to keep, then you could have 3 common genes as well to let you keep sooty and pangare, and then choose another common gene.
If you’d like to chat more about gene rarity types, or need any assistance you’re more than welcome to send any messages about it in the group discord, or you can reply to this comment.
