Kovaze v1.8 (Part 2) - Release Notes

BOUTIQUES Boutiques are now out - a new way for you to buy, sell, and gift designs! For 35 Diamonds, you can open a boutique for 10 days and sell designs that you own. You will earn a 100% profit on all unworn designs, and 50% profit on all worn designs. Once you sell a design in your boutique, it will disappear from your inventory. Gifts sent via the boutique will not count towards the users gift count. Boutiques are personalisable and will appear on your profiles! All newly purchased designs are set to "Unworn", even if they were worn by the previous user. DESIGNS - Navigating to a design will show you which boutiques it's being sold in. - Designs page now displays number of users that own that design - Permissions rework: instead of permanent permissions, buying permissions to a design will allow you to post +3 stock. All existing permissions currently set to 15. SHOPS - See permissions rework above. - With the introduction of boutiques, shops will still play a vital role on Kovaze, being the place that new designs are posted. Gifting from shops will also contribute to the user's gift count. AUCTIONS Out of the three outlets that you can buy and sell designs in, the Auction stands out as the most profitable - at 80% for all items, worn and unworn. We want to give Boutiques room to shine so we'll be looking to nerf the auctions somehow, more on this next release. WHAT'S NEXT? Now that users have year-round access to a plethora of different boutiques, we anticipate the demand for Shops to slightly decrease. To respond to this, we will be slightly decreasing the number of shops that open up over the coming rounds. The idea will be that most purchases will occur through boutiques, with Shops being the outlet for obtaining new and exclusive designs that nobody has yet! We're excited to see how the addition of boutiques shakes up the marketplace on Kovaze.
