The Best Update Ever

Hey Jammers! If you didn't check out my recent post about who won my summer raffle, click here. Today's update is unique and much-anticipated since much of it was leaked earlier on, and it is everything and more of what I dreamed it to be.

Because you must be so so so super excited, I'll just get straight into the Jamaa Journal! 

The rumored Graham's Workshop adventure is out and better than I ever dreamed! It's a group adventure for all Jammers.

The premise of this adventure goes like this: tools and resources are scattered throughout the area. You need to use specific tools to gather specific resources. Then, you report back to the crafting table and use those resources to make your very own items!

Here's me and my gloriously green Bamboo Mat, nonmember and made with 75 bamboo shoots. Seems like a lot, but that's a small amount compared to the other stuff in the guidebook! Sheesh–– if you want items you're gonna have to work for them.

That's actually something I like a lot about this adventure. You don't just grab your items and leave, you have to take your time. Because you're there for so long, you start to really appreciate the adventure! The items you get also feel more special when you get them, like an award kind of. There's some pretty sweet natural-looking items, too!

In addition, I like that this adventure sort of teaches us about how hard some people work and how many resources are taken up by the stuff we buy thoughtlessly in real life. Just a thought...

Play Wild is out and roarin' on iPad in the USA! If you have an iPad and you're debating on whether to get Play Wild or not, it is definitely worth it and you should.

One of my favorite parts of Play Wild is how detailed the dens are. The trees and items cast shadows on the walls; the walls having a slight stucco-texture. The yard outside is spacious and beautiful... It's literally the kind of place I would want to live in IRL. 

So if you're able to, go ahead and get Play Wi–

Wait, hold on a minute.

Did I just see what I think I saw?

OMG. I DID JUST SEE WHAT I THOUGHT I SAW.

LYNX. KITTIES.

LYNX. KITTIES. ON AJ!?

MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE! THANK YOU, AJHQ! I FORGIVE YOU FOR MAKING THE PANDA'S PLAY ACTION SO UGLY! I FORGIVE YOU FOR EVERY TIME YOU EVER WRONGED ME! FROM THIS MOMENT ON I WILL NEVER WHINE AND COMPLAIN AGAIN! I WILL ALWAYS BE HONEST AND KIND AND FAIR!

AJHQ, I LOVE YOU! (>0_0)>♥<(0_0<)

Speaking of fantastic/beautiful/wonderful/baby/precious/important big cats, Snow Leopards are once again roaming the land of Jamaa!

And oh, what's this? A new party? This update just gets better and better!

Within this party there's a big court with a single basketball and net. As you explore, you'll find a locker/cubby area, a grade school/kindergarten room, a middle school+ room, scattered types of fun playground equipment–– and a water fountain, that I can't reach. It's gonna be hard to stay hydrated at this school.

For the record, this party does have a shop! I didn't remember to take screenshots of it because I was having too much fun to care about items, but the things it has so far go as follows: Jamaa Flag (nonmember), Teacher's Desk (member), Student's Desk (member), Lockers (member), Whiteboard (member), and a bell/alarm (member). 

Nice selection so far, I can't wait for what they'll release next!

A helpful new Achievement feature is here! Access a list of all Jamaa's achievements by clicking your animal picture in the bottom left corner of your screen:

This is a great addition. I used to have to go to the Help section for a list of all achievements, and even then they weren't as well organized and were a bit outdated. Yet again, thanks AJHQ! :D

National Honeybee Day passed on August 15, so honeybee pets won't be up for adoption for very long! For National Honeybee Day I bought a bunch of bee-friendly flowers and put them outside. Did you do anything? Comment if you did! :D

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa! DoomyPanda, signing off~
