Hello and welcome to the first Generator Manager Event ever hosted!

This is going to be a casual event that will be ongoing mostly during the times of my preparation for the huge 2.0.20.1 update, created in favor to increase the “spirit” and uprising interest in those kind of stuff to a point where I could finally be energetic enough to release the update, unlike the past few weeks where I planned the update much earlier and ended up getting delayed a lot due to massive business stuff struck around in real life. The big update turned out to be even more massive than I think would be because that’s when I was aware that I wasn’t going to release the update as planned and I’m going to have to set up lots and lots of things and re-wirings prior to the actual release of the update.

As the name implies, it’s about an adventure, so go make some adventure/space themed generators to be submitted into this event!

Starts: 30 June 2024, 12:00:00 UTC

Ends: 14 July 2024, 12:00:00 UTC

Generator Rules:

  • Make any adventure/space themed generators, as long as it’s not explicit or adult content
  • It’s recommended to add some color in your generator! Maybe simply make the background colored, add some decorations or whatever you like to further glow up the generator.
  • You can submit your generators to this community as well. Make sure to submit after the event started and before it ended.

To add some spark into the preparation event, I want to mention a bit of thought I have left for the changelog of the big update: We’ll be back regularly releasing some improvement updates to the generator hub page a few times every single month, and that’ll happen right after we release this very exciting update! These follow-up updates will often star some massive improvements and rollouts of features planned to be in the 2.0.20.1 update that wasn’t in the update afterwards, including the long-awaited dark mode and the re-aligned Home page, in the follow-up Generator Manager updates after that! So, don’t miss the mark out if you’re waiting for those really cool updates! (And the Event page will get a kind of an overhaul, too, for an even richer experience.)

Happy creating and stay together for the event! 🚀

    While the event is starting, I want to mention some more thoughts I’ve been keeping earlier after hosting the event midnight, about some planned updates for the Events page in the future (and probably going to implement them in the next Preview updates right away):

    • Some of the big events (like image contests and big moment updates like “A Venture for the Big Update”) will be integrated into the Hub for greater visibility (so the event will also be shown as a Hub event in the Events tab), but some smaller events (like break times or Silent Days) will only be exclusively shown on the Generator Manager Events page
    • The description will also use Markdown since I feel that wasn’t well-polished enough and would sometimes break out when writing down for the first event
    • Probably also planning for an entire UI overhaul/rearrangement for the event page as well
    • Also planning to implement an events flyout somewhere in the sidebar or the Home page (similar to the Events flyout in the Hub)
    • etc, etc…

    (Will write down more once they start to pour in)
