Announcements

We're kicking off February strong with Arena Remastered wave 4, PvE skill fixes, quality of life updates and preparations for a PvE system overhaul! This will include cleaning up gearing processes, implementations of new areas, and giving people more things to do.
First and foremost we would like to congratulate the winners on our Multimedia, Fashion Nest, PvP, and Solo gameplay events!
Absolutely gorgeous piece by 1st place winner Asteral(Celery). This will be featured as the Skitzovania's primary loading screen from now on! We're absolutely astounded by the amount of hard work put in this background and proud to show this off as our town's new banner. We'll salute you while you flex your brand new Pixel Pretty title in-game!
Big shout out to 2nd place! Mr. Summ delicately crafted the greatest set of emojis to ever grace Project Duck and the Discord Servers. This service will never be forgotten and the denizens of PD will forever be grateful.
Garden of Solace - New loading screen! Special thanks to Mirein for this delectable piece that didn't end up causing harm to any quackums. I'm assuming this is a big warning to stop buffing Gladiator, so we hope you find yourself distracted by many players in awe traveling to the garden.
There were MANY other exceptional submissions and if you're the artist or the player that was looking forward for something on this list don't fret! None of these are down for the count and you can BET you will see them at some point in the future. There is absolutely no way we would let these creations be lost in time.
With that being said, let us continue to PvP/PvE balancing and some miscellaneous changes. We're specifically highlighting Dark Avenger's PvP revamp and quality of life changes to streamline us to the future.
