Thanks again 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I am currently in the process of closing down "Lewd & Nude | Anime Collector", To make room for my new F2P title in development called "Anime Collector: Evo". I will be removing the "Purchase" button from the steam store page shortly and in one month time i will completely shutdown all services relating to the game.

Anyone who has purchased "Lewd & Nude | Anime Collector" within the last month may request a refund via Steam.

Anyone who owns the game upon launch of our new F2P title will get free claimable in-game items that will be marketable & tradable.
Why am i shutting this game down?
This will help me focus on the new title "Anime Collector: Evo". But i have also made this decision based on how many users are exploiting the current market of the game.

My Story:
See when i first started development on "Lewd & Nude | Anime Collector" i thought it was a very niche idea and i really did not think the game would get to where it is today. But because of this mindset i ended up creating the game on a very unstable core foundation which makes it incredibly difficult for me to fix issues that lay deep within the game core without me technically re-writing most of the game from the ground up. Because of this i have decided to create "Anime Collector: Evo" which is a completely new core foundation to the game. Evo will be a large scaled MMORPG based off our original game, Still containing all the bits of fun that came included in the original game but with so much more to do!

Evo is a completely server sided game making it impossible for all those people who have exploited the current game to exploit the new game.

If you would like to Enter our "Tester Program" or simply keep up with updates/news on our new game then feel free to join our discord server as this is where i will be posting all news/updates on the progress of the game from now on.

And lastly i just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who played and enjoyed "Lewd & Nude | Anime Collector" the game would not have grown without you amazing people and i do hope to see you all around on our new title and discord server!

Happy Lunar new year everyone!
To start with I would just like to apologize for the miss of the XMAS update so because of this there will be 2 new cases that will only be available for 2 weeks. "Lunar New Year 2021" & "XMAS 2020" cases.

Patch Notes:

• ADDED: Lunar New Year 2021 CASE
  
• ADDED: XMAS 2020 CASE
  
• REMOVED: Application Focus Check(The game will no longer close if you minimize!)

You can obtain both these cases by opening the "Sexy Girls" case. No other cases contain these collections!

Since I started working on EVO I've always wanted it to be better then the current game.
EVO is no longer just a simple rework of the game's backend but instead it's a new standalone version of the game.

Anime Collector: EVO, once released will be a different type of MMORPG with its focus for the players to collect rare loot(art) that they can later trade or sell via the Steam inventory service. The game's player base has increased and therefore the update will no longer be a free addon to the game but instead a new "Free To Play" Steam game with microtransactions. Make no mistake I never want the game to be "Pay to Win" and I will try my best to keep it this way.

Now your probably asking yourself, why not just release it as an update?
The simple fact being 'Budget and Marketing'. As "Lewd & Nude Anime Collector" is almost 1 year old the game has had its fair share of visibility on Steam, the new update would most likely not gain any traction that would allow me to provide long term support. The cost of running the servers for a MMORPG compared to the current build is around 15x the price, additionally I am also paying for 3D models which is far more expensive then paying for 2D art.

With all that being said I will now explain the end vision for EVO...

My end vision for EVO is for it to evolve to be a MMORPG trading hub for both normal/lewd/nude anime art. All Legendary art will get their own custom character/s which you'll be able to equip and use as your player avatar, if you own it.
EVO is a massive city containing different games that can be played to earn new loot. As stated the game will be a MMORPG this means that you can play with other players and chat to them in-game!

More information will be disclosed at a later date how ever if you would like to participate in our Tester Program and get insider information then you can find the application form in our discord(https://discord.gg/hwHaxvkAKk) server

As some of you have noticed there has been a large amount of the new "Trick or Treat" cases on the marketplace as such I have been investigating, and believe I have found a possible exploit with-in the forge system and have pushed out a patch. on top of this a new art work "Ena" will now be added to the loot table of the "Trick Or Treat" case.

For the time being i have disabled the "Trick Or Treat" case from being marketable and tradable and I am attempting to find the user who has broken the game so that I can attempt to remove the items.

Apologies for any inconvenience that this has caused, I will be posting a new announcement with-in the week going over what my plans are for "EVO"

Trick or treat?
The Halloween event forge is now opened, The game will require a small update so a possible steam restart may be required.

Just a quick note... I am still waiting on a few pieces of art so as i get them i will be putting them into the new "Trick Or Treat 2020" case that you can now claim in the "Event Forge"

Patch Notes:
-ADDED: Trick Or Treat 2020(case)
-ADDED: Chia(art)
-ADDED: Mai(art)
-ADDED: Luna(art)
-ADDED: Miyu(art)
OPENED: Event Forge

The original Halloween Trick Or Treat case that contains the "Grace 0.1%" item will continue to drop in your steam inventory until the event ends.

The Event Forge will stay open for 2 weeks starting from 31/10/2020

The Halloween Event starts today.

PATCH:
ADDED - Trick or Treat event case

How the event works:

Every 8 hours you have a chance at obtaining the new "Trick or Treat" case this will randomly drop a maximum of 3 times in an 8 hour period. In this case you have a chance to get the following items...

Pumpkin(currency)
Candy(currency)
Jack o' lantern(currency)
Grace(art)

The items marked as "Currency" will be used to redeem art in the "Event Forge" which will open on Halloween(31st) and continue to stay open for 1 week after.

When the event forge opens the "Trick or Treat" case will no longer drop.

The Artifact event has now ended. All items regarding the event will no longer drop in the game but will still be viewable if you have the items in your game / steam inventory.

Patch Notes:
*Artifact Event Ended
*Forge backend has been changed to fix several issues (As the forge is still in development there may still be other issues that i have not found.)

NEWS:
As most of you know i want to start working on a "Star System" for the game how ever i fear that the way the game is currently setup this will lead to problems with the current build further down the line, So my current plans are to start "ANIME COLLECTOR EVO" i will be working on a new core engine for the game that will allow more flexibility for newer and more interesting content while also making it easier for me to add new content. Right now it is quite overly complicated.

What does this mean for the current build of the game? Nothing really... Not yet... I still plan on trying to hold monthly events and releasing new cases/content on this version of the game how ever my main focus will be to try and get "AC EVO" up and running as fast as possible.

Will "ANIME COLLECTOR EVO" be a new game or a free update? EVO will be a free update that will replace the current build of the game.

I plan on releasing a TRELLO board and making small public dev logs on our discord server so if you want to keep up with EVOs development come on in and say 'Hi' https://discord.gg/FZ7DnKX

The new "Artifact" event is live. "Unknown Artifact #1/2" will now stop being dropped. The in-game event forge has been opened. This update brings massive security improvements and new content into the game.

Update Notes:
ADDED: Space Girls Case
ADDED: Stay At Home Case
ADDED: Lucky Case
ADDED: New Mission System(Event Forge)
OPENED: EVENT FORGE(This will stay opened only for 1 week)
ADDED: Improvements to Security
FIXED: Some sound issues(not all)

The "Event Forge" will stay open for 7 days starting from the release of this announcement, After that ALL event items will be removed from the event and will remain tradable/marketable

All the new EVENT items have special animated steam inventory images.

Over 30 new Art works have been added into the game!

A small server change has now made it possible for the game to force stack all items.
What does this mean? Nothing really... the game should continue to function normally if not better now that it is able to correctly read all items in a stack. The only change is that now if you purchase an item from the marketplace the entire stack will be trade ban and not just that single item, Once the trade ban is lifted you can trade all items in that stack normally again.
