News, Announcements, & Dev Log
Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about Belial!
 | Name: Belial Appearance Doll: Monster Tracker AD Guardian: @breadestbowl Give Love! Bio: The elusive monster tracker, Belial only ever had one goal: to find the demon that took his mother from him, and to make sure it never harmed anyone else again the way it'd done to her. But along his travels, more and more people need help, and more and more entities reveal themselves, making it harder for Belial to return to his initial quest. As well as making it harder to claim that 'monsters' are the only cruel beings in this world. Battling his own demons, struggling to accept the crushing truth of what wretched thing he is, the only rest is found when he checks into the hotel on the far edge of town, or finally returns to his homestead after a long hunt. Safe. At least, until night falls. |
Favorite Treasure
Wilted Rose | Phantom Fiance Locket | Goat Horn Dagger
Short Story
The stables have all been locked, the coop shut tight, the curtains drawn and deadlocks bolted. The nightly checklist was completed, leaving only one thing left to do: sleep.
After all, there's only so much those locks and wooden boards can do. So much the raging fire filling the chimney could smoke out. And so Belial remains awake, perched at the edge of his mattress, wiping a worn cloth along the dirtied blade of his goat horn dagger. His one good eye fixed on the doorway to his room, watching the shadows dance up along the wall from the lower floor. Every faint creak of the floorboards, each groan of the old house settling noted with a flick of the ear, Belial pressing his thumb harder through the cloth to scrub out a particularly stubborn stain.
“Be.....liiii......all......”
His leg bounces idly, indifferent, hearing the muffled voice through the walls. He recognized it, he always did, but he knew better now than to acknowledge them, he still had the keepsakes etched into his skin from the first time he'd made that mistake.
“Be....liaaaal.......”
He notes a particularly abstract shaped shadow with little more than a hum, eyes beginning to droop as the hours stretched on.
“Belial.
You are no better than me.”
Instantly, the world falls silent. No faint calls of his livestock in their stables, no crickets chirping in the long grass, the wind, even the crackle of the fire having gone quiet. Leaving only those words, echoing in the emptiness, a repeated pang in the back of his mind. Punctuating each wipe of the cloth along his dagger.
Repeating, even as his hearing returns, a mantra that does little more than pull a worn sigh from the tracker's maw.
Much like every other night before it.

Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about Annulment!
 | Name: Annulment Appearance Doll: Graveyard Groom AD Guardian: @sabrih Give Love! Bio: Nullitas is a self taught artist who misses his husband-to-be a lot, after an accident involving a certain dark haired renowned musician and a falling piano took his life prematurely while they were finishing preparations for their wedding. He will do anything to bring his beloved back to life, to finally get married and enjoy the happy ending they both deserve. |

Short Story
What could possibly bring you to my atelier? I am quite busy!
Ah, could it be that you wish to purchase a painting?
(You nod, and that seems to lift his spirits.)
In that case, I could use the company, and the extra coins it comes with!
You've heard of me, have you not?
(You give him a sympathetic look, knowing of the demise of his loved one, and he sighs.)
That pitiful artist that had his fiancé taken away from him by death's cold embrace?
Well, that's not the ending of our love story!
I met someone who's willing to help me, but necromancy isn't cheap! Or so I've been told..
(You can only imagine that someone being Mia, a mysterious mortician who claims to have an affinity for all things related to the occult.)
(You think she's a charlatan, but you refrain from telling him so, as he continues to paint.)
Oho! While we were chatting, I've finished my painting!
(You look at the painting, entranced, and ask him how much it costs. This seems to surprise him, and his eyes light up with pride.)
You... want to purchase it? Well, I can at least guarantee the subject is of the finest quality! What do you think?
(You look at the painting and notice it's his own portrait. You can't help but say that he's talented, and that makes him laugh.)
You think I'm talented? My, dear customer, surely you don't expect a discount for pointing out such an obvious fact?
(You sheepishly glance at him, as you hold a coin pouch, and he glares at you. It seems you're not the first person who's tried to praise him to obtain a bargain.)

Greetings Fanlings!
In an ongoing effort to keep Goatlings as inclusive and welcoming for as many players as possible, we're releasing a set of new blushes for HA Buddies, as well as a new approach to HA Buddy faces moving forward.
These blushes come in multiple natural shades so that players can use the blush that best suits their own HA Buddy's skin tone.
Natural Blush 1-6 are official staff designs by @r00p (Give Love!) and are now permanently available at the HA Buddy Face Space in the Shopping District!
Additionally, in the future, our art staff will minimize adding blushes to new HA Buddy face items, in an effort to make each face as versatile as possible. We're excited about this change, and hope this gives our players even more freedom and flexibility when it comes to building their avatars!
Thank you, and happy customizing!
