It is time again for another Recode Preview! However, this Recode Preview will be a little different. We have some new, exciting changes for Icepets!
After a lot of discussion and feedback from our valued members, our Staff has decided to merge V2 into V1! Changes in technology in the past years have made recoding V1 into a new site unnecessary and time-consuming. We want to bring our Users new features as soon as possible, and V2 would have taken too long. Our first priority will be adding features shown in previous Recode Previews, starting with a new layout! The current layout is a work in progress, and we would love to hear your thoughts on how it looks! Future layouts will be added; If you have any ideas for future layout themes, feel free to let us know!
As you can expect, this requires some major coding. We have been steadily working towards finishing it, so stay tuned! If you want to check on the progress on the new layout, you can view our brand new Trello Board! Currently, you can see what pages have been coded, what pages still need to be coded, what pages are ready for testing and what pages are finished. In the future, this board may contain other spoilers about what our Staff are cooking up! This will also be our last Recode Preview. From now on, when a feature has been coded, tested, and receives a news post, it will be released!
We want to thank you, our lovely Users, for sticking by our side for all these years. Many changes have taken place, and we hope that this last major change will be the one that everyone will love. We can now devote our full attention and time to giving you new, exciting features and updating old ones. This also means that we can start adding features that were considered impossible, or only doable in V2. We hope you continue to show us your support and in turn, we will bring you new features, fun games, and plenty more in the coming years. As always, we love to hear how your feel and what suggestions you have.

I wonder if their wings are smooth...
Some Crystal Pets introduced us to a new friend! They managed to get a Crystal Novyn to come out of hiding and grace us with their presence. It is said that Crystal Novyns collect beautiful crystals and hide them away. If they think you are special, you might get to see their treasure trove! If you want to add one of this darling Pets to your family, make sure to keep a steady supply of metals around. Crystal Pets love to eat them as a snack!
Woah! Look at that shine!
If you decide you want to adopt a Crytal Novyn, make sure to head down to the Snow Jar Igloo and keep an eye out for a Crystal Novyn Morphing Potion. You may be there for a while, but don't lose hope! For those who can't wait another second, scurry on over to the I.C.E Shop and pick one up for 500 IC (450 for Gold Members)!

Our resident stylist and Allison over at Sugar Rush have been sending us notes, letters, and paper airplanes asking us to update some of their stock. After careful consideration, we have decided on revamping some of the more common Items!
First on our list is something everyone loves to pull over their ears in those cold winter months, or throw on when their in a rush! Our new Beanies come in all of the original colours, such as purple and green, and we are released two brand new colours! You can find the Yellow Beanie and Ancient Beanie stocking in the Grooming Parlour!
It looks like one of our questionable Items have received an entirely new look! The Ear Earring, Brown Ear Earring, Ear Necklace, and Brown Ear Necklace were remade into the Gold Drop Earrings, Silver Drop Earrings, Gold Drop Necklace and the Silver Drop Necklace. You can find these stocking in the Grooming Parlour, as usual!
Ending on something sweet, our Gummy Lips gained a new look! Now they look tastier than ever, and you can find them in the usual flavours, like grape and strawberry. Speaking of flavours, it looks like Rainbow Gummy Lips is the newest addition to the Gummy Lips series! Be sure to pick up a few over at Sugar Rush before they run out!
On a last note, the Snow Beanie has been renamed to White Beanie, and you can no longer receive it from the Snowman. However, you can now buy it at the Grooming Parlour.

It looks like Aiko isn't done with his tricks just yet! Doesn't he know that the Festival of Evil is over already? Someone should let him know, gently. However, it looks like he used what was left of those Corrupted Hearts to add some more Items to the Love and Evil Store! We suggest caution when purchasing any of the new Items. Who knows what Aiko did to them? It looks like that Hidden Avatar might have something to do with it...

Woah! As it turns out, one Krittle obsessed with his own vanity has been hiding away a super secret, super soft treasure. A treasure that we think any Pet, Krittle or otherwise, would be thrilled to get their paws, wings, or claws on!
Stocking now at Glacia's favourite (and only) Plushie Mania, Krittle Plushies can be found and given to your Pets to share and cuddle! Every basic colour of Krittles are avaliable, from the Blue Krittle Plushie to the Yellow Krittle Plushie, and every basic colour in between.
Samuel looks like he'd like to keep a few of these for himself as well. He's started asking for these cute stuffed toys in his Plushie Quests now, so go prepared!

It looks like Jacob over at the Frozen Collectives Emporium has received a fresh new stock. This may just give you a reason to pay him a visit, maybe strike up a conversation! Or... maybe not. While there, you should probably snatch up some of the new Ice Cubes. This includes, Angelic, Baby, Fairy, Storm and Tech. These would look great in your collection and it seems like our Snowman will also be on the look out for them as well!
Do these new Ice Cubes inspire you? If you have any ideas for future cubes, feel free to make a board over in Ideas and Suggestions!

Flowers are blooming, creatures are coming out of hiding, and the air is so refreshing. The only thing that could mean is Spring is here! And with the new Spring air rolling in, some nifty new Items have found their way into the Token Booth! You should swipe up the Gingham Coin, Moryello, and Cherry Blossom Flower Crown before they sneak off into hiding! If you were looking for some older Token Booth Items, you can purchase a Spring Goodie Bag!
If the changing seasons remind you of all that Spring cleaning you have to do, you can head on down to the I.C.E Shop to pick up some new home decor! Hang the Fairy Dovu Clock by your bed, or set the Pirate Dovu Figurine on your bedside table. And in case you missed out on it last year, you can now find the Fingerprint Ice Cube stocking as well! Grab as many as you can, because these Items will be removed at the end of the month.
