News, Announcements, & Dev Log
Greetings Fanlings!
After a long hiatus, the Goatlings Gazette is BACK!
The Goatlings Gazette (aka Goatzetts) is a collaborative book containing content made by Goatling members and staff. The books feature art, comics, stories, poems, guides, HA Buddy Fashion, interviews, jokes, games, and more!
CLICK HERE for more details or continue reading for summarized version!
HISTORYIn the past, Goatzettes were hand made by Krisgoat. However, hand making the books was time consuming, and interest was low. So after just 8 Issues, the Goatzette's were put on hiatus until a better solution was found.
As the site grew, so did the interest in official Goatlings merch! As steps to create professionally made merch were made, plans to bring back Goatzettes were also made and a reliable bookmaking manufacturer was found.
WHAT IS NEWFor those who are familiar with the classic Goatzettes, you'll notice a few changes.
+ Each issue will be available in one cover, compared to having a choice of three.
+ Books will now come with exclusive collectable stickers instead of cards.
+ Size is increasing from 4x5 inches and about 25 pages, to 5x7.5 inches and about 50 pages.
+ If all goes according to plan, a hardcover Volume will also be released once a year containing all of that years issues. (There are 4 issues per year)
+ Free digital versions of the Goatzettes will from now on be available at the Palace Story Nook.
AVAILABILITY The Goatlings Gazette is free to read at the Palace Story Nook.
Physical books will be available at ko-fi.com/goatlings.
THANK YOUThese special Display Name Icons are gifts for members who contribute to the Goatlings Gazette. The GG Artist Icon for artists, and GG Writer Icon for writers.
+ Members who contribute to the Goatlings Gazette will also receive 1,000 Diamond Dust!

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 Aqua!
 | Name: Aqua Appearance Doll: Sea Punk RAD Guardian: @crows Give Love! Bio: Aqua is a siren without a voice. Of course, they can communicate just fine in a handful of different sign languages (you never know who you're going to meet!), but they have no access to their siren's song, the source of mermish magic. But who needs enthralling magic when all it takes to seduce pirate queens or captains' wives is a flex of your impressive muscles and a demonstration of your incredible competence at fixing boats? And sometimes strange things happen around them when they sign, almost like a new kind of magic is being born... . |

Welcome to Studio Blu!A monthly prompt event based in the official Goatlings.com Discord server!
How it works!At the beginning of each month, a Discord moderator will post an inspirational theme. Members wishing to participate can draw or write a short story or poem about a Goatling using the theme as a guide!
Prizes!At the end of the month, two entries will be randomly selected to be featured on the site News and the members will receive a special in-game trophy!
The Studio Blu prompt for June was: Carnival rides and games! And the winners are:
@Reyes (Give Love!)
Artist's note: Jalus likes to spend carnival time playing as many games as possible and winning an equal amount of prizes!
and @hellits (Give Love!)
Writer's note: [a short story (featuring my goats wrene & verette) about a moment at the snc inspired by a ych i commissioned from @SilkySheep.]
a knock came on wrene's cottage door, and they jumped in shock. they went to open it anyway. outside was their friend verette.
"hiya wrene! you want to head down to the carnival in town with me?" verette grinned.
"... oh. if you insist but- i'm not too sure." wrene stumbled with their words in reply.
"it'll be fun anyway since its with me." verette rolled her eyes and dragged them along. wrene always had this unenthusiastic attitude.
...
after a little bit of trotting along in silence, the two arrived at the carnival. the sun was setting at this time. you could start to see the lights of all the rides and booths at the carnival. it was such a beautiful sight... but the carnival was bustling. wrene was standing there shaking kind of, they felt really off because of the amount of activity happening at the carnival.
"hey, don't just stand there like that! i'm here for you, you know that right? ...come with me, lets try our luck at the booths." verette said.
"... you know what. lets grab a drink first." wrene mumbled as they were passing a vendor with various cute looking milkshakes.
the two picked out a caramel milkshake topped with chocolate and sat down at a nearby table to enjoy it.
"this shake is really good! what do you think?" verette said.
"mmm. i like it too." wrene replied, a little smile appeared on their face.
Congratulations and thank you everyone for participating!
