Halloween Shop Update + Official Release!

I love Halloween so much, thank you for these super cute additions!! Although it means that I’m very broke now :sob: Can’t wait to get more reviews (that’s a first) to see my Night Sky progress bar as well! :pray:

(Surely you guys wouldn’t add a shark/mackerel as a pin and/or something else (or a certain vtuber I’m totally not referencing with this :innocent:))

ah! thanks so much! had no idea I had to do an extra step.

I still have 2 questions though (for anyone):

  1. I can’t find where I can change my profile pic. I was able to for the Community site but can’t find it in Bunpro site itself
  2. How can I make my badges appear? → never mind. I was looking at the wrong thing.

I didn’t join the beta back then, but now that I’m checking out the shop I’m seeing some gorgeous profile themes.

My favourite holiday is New Year’s, and Japan has some wonderful New Year’s traditions, so I’m secretly hoping that a New Year’s-themed background will be added in the future.

And a mahjong tile pin.

Man I really hope for you that the internal country flag priority list is not sorted by the country’s aspect ratio…

I’ll be honest, I was pretty indifferent about this update when I first saw it in beta, but I’m a sucker for Halloween so you’ve won me over :joy:

So cute! :ghost:

Edit: I’m getting so much joy from seeing this little pumpkin race across my screen :sob: thank you for this update!

I haven’t used Bunpro in a yearish since starting job hunting and then finding a job. I just recently came back to see this update and absolutely love it. I feel like being rewarded with fun little “toys” for studying is such a good way to hit that dopamine receptor and encourage participating more.

(Would love to see more Hokkaido/Sapporo and maybe some Kyudo stuff, though!)

Good question!

  1. I can’t find where I can change my profile pic. I was able to for the Community site but can’t find it in Bunpro site itself

This is done through Gravatar.
Basically you have to create an account through them using the email that is attached to your Bunpro account

Awesome update! I’ve been stock piling my points waiting for something like this. Out of curiosity are the Halloween items only available for purchase this month or will they always be in the shop?

Really enjoying studying with the purpose of making the ghost head towards its brutal demise:

Ghost Progress

Mostly due to it going unrequested, and us having limited bandwidth! We’ll add it in the next Shop update though. :wink:

Is there any where that gives a detailed explanation of how this works? I have questions like:

  1. Can I try something first to see what it looks like or do I have to buy it first?
  2. If I buy it, can I return it or at least exchange it?
  3. It seems like some of these items might interact with others so what happens if I buy one item and then buy another one that interacts with the first? Again, it’d be nice to see what the final effect is before I actually buy something that I end up not using.
  4. I’m guessing if I try this I’ll end up with more questions, so again, is there some where that explains all this in detail

Hi there! Those are all good questions to ask

  1. Can I try something first to see what it looks like or do I have to buy it first?

Yes you can! You can preview items in 2 ways—

Preview 1 item

  1. Click on the shop item you would like to preview
  2. View in item provided preview window. For example, I was testing how the ‘Haunted’ ghost frame would look with my current ghost pin and blue flower background.

Preview Multiple Items

  1. Start by adding one or multiple items to your cart
  2. Click on the cart in the top right corner
  3. Select Preview All Items to view how all of the items in your cart would apply to your profile. For example, if you’ve added an avatar frame and 2 pins to your cart, you can see how all of those would spice up your current profile :sparkles:
  1. If I buy it, can I return it or at least exchange it?

Unfortunately, after you buy an item, you will be unable to return it. There is currently no system in place for item exchanges so we recommend testing out your items with the preview features first.

  1. It seems like some of these items might interact with others so what happens if I buy one item and then buy another one that interacts with the first? Again, it’d be nice to see what the final effect is before I actually buy something that I end up not using.

These issues should be avoidable by using one of the two methods: Preview 1 itemor Preview Multiple Items. You also do not have to have all of your unlocked items applied at the same time. You can equip and unequip items as you please in the my items page on the shop.

As for items that can be applied to your profile, you can have a max of: 3 pins, 1 frame, and 1 profile card theme in use at any given time

  1. I’m guessing if I try this I’ll end up with more questions, so again, is there some where that explains all this in detail

Hopefully that answers your questions, but if you need some more clarification please let us know!

Thank you for your help! :slight_smile:
So I made the following changes as shown below but when I click on ‘Hide’ every thing goes away including the Duolingo, Foodie, and pins.

Is there a way I can just hide the bottom 4 rows (Days Studied…, Current Streak, JLPT Progress…, and Recent Badges?

2 Likes

No problem! Glad it helped you out :tada:

Currently the hide button’s purpose is to reveal only the card background you have unlocked. There is no way to hide the other selections yet, but this is a really good idea. I’ll pass this onto the team so we can chat more internally about this :+1:

Making it modular-ish would be soooooo nice! It’s kinda sad having such a nice background but it’s hidden by all this clutter ^^
