January 2009 News Archive

After a lot of hard work and listening to your opinions, twelve new fake avatars have been added to our fake avatars page.  Why not take a look at our graphics request form while you're at it?

On the Open Beta version of Keyquest you can now play on an entirely new board with a whole different set up than the regular three boards. This new board is Valentines day themed (with lots of chocolate) and can be played by starting (or joining) a game of Keyquest on a Neopia Central board. At random, this will trigger the use of the Valentines Board. For more information on Keyquest and how to play, read our Keyquest guide.

SunnyNeo now has a brand new Cheeseroller guide for everyone to try out. In it you will find a strategy tip that has helped several SunnyNeo staffmembers get the avatar with only a few tries. We hope that you find it usefull! Also, visit our other game guides in our Gamesroom.


TNT also decided to launch a Best of 2008 survey. If you vote for your favorites of 2008 you will be rewarded with a nice item. There are many different items that are being given away. Most likely there is a different reward for each different combination of votes.

Also, in case you missed the message from the neopets news about KeyQuest (then where on earth have you been, they posted it on the news every single day for a week long -_-;!) there is a special test going on January 29th between 5-6pm NST (yes thats the middle of the night in Europe, THANKS TNT). Everyone who enters a game during that time will receive a virtual prize. Whatever that may be... and double keys!
Update: TNT hasn't given any virtual prize so far.

Hi there! I'm Uber, and I'm your new SunnyNeo graphics staff member =)

If summer cannot come fast enough for you, why not try this new guild layout to bring that day at the beach a little closer?

Starting today a brand new tutorial for Photoshop can be found on SunnyNeo. This tutorial will teach you how to create a perfect preview for your graphics by cropping and resizing. It also teaches you how to make a 1 pixel border. Find the Perfect Preview tutorial here, or on the Tutorials page.

Also good news about our Keyquest Prizelist. Thanks to feral_shade we were able to add many new prizes, especially for lead keys. If anyone finds any more prizes that we are missing, please do contact us.

Our apologies for the NC Mall page not being up to date for a while. We have solved this problem and it is 100% up to date now and we plan to keep it that way! Major thanks to sarika_ambrielle for contributing many pet images to us!

Thank you everyone for continuing to submit information, and test theories.  Keep Hyhen and I busy!

We have added two new pages to our project.

We added the Puzzle Adventure Game Page hoping that TNT left us a hint in their newly released game.  Thanks to iloenchen, we were able to obtain screenshots and show them for all of you who do not have the game.

There are also quite a few Shenkuu Food items that were released but are not found anywhere.  They could be possible results from the Culinary Concoctions.  We set up the Mystery Items Page to list those items and all possible ingredients that were released before the mystery items were.  Try mixing some combinations in the Culinary Concoctions to make them.

With the questions I've been receiving regarding custom avatars, we've decided to make SunnyNeo a tutorial on how to make these.  The tutorial focuses on Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop; for those that don't have these programs, links to free trials can be found in the tutorial. The tutorial can be found here, and has also been linked to our general tutorials page.

Good news! Petpet Park has finally opened up for new Beta Testers! If you want to be a beta tester, go to: www.petpetpark.com and login using your neopets account. For all testers logging in between 12pm and 3pm NST today (January 17th), neopets has a special gift (a Park Badge T-Shirt, matching with the plot Beanie). If you want to learn more about Petpet Park, check our Petpet Park Guide!


Update: Our Petpet Park Guide has been totally renewed. It now resembles our Keyquest guide. You can read all about Petpet Park in small little sections. Enjoy!

Update 2: The Petpet Park guide now has a brand new Characters page!

Good news for owners of the Nintendo DS Version of Neopets Puzzle Adventure. On the DS, in order to unlock the Site Theme, you also have to complete a multiplayer part of the game. If you do not know anyone to play the multiplayer game with, and therefore cannot complete the game, you can now contact Neopets for help. If you send them an email through the Merchandise Contact Form, explaining your situation, they will help you out by sending you a replacement code for the multiplayer part of the game. This will allow you to unlock the site theme after all. Note: Dont ask for a replacement code until you're actually finishing the game.


Yesterday I asked if anyone knew a good free cursor host, that we could suggest for our Cursor Tutorial. I'm happy to say that with the help of veecal we have found a new cursor host named FileDen. For those of you who have been making their own cursors but could not find a place to upload them, visit our Uploading Tutorial for more info on FileDen.

Just a reminder that Sloth Day is coming up, so remember to get those avatars if you still need them.  You only get one chance each year!
There are two obtainable avatars on Sloth Day.  The I *heart* Sloth avatar can be obtained by going here (you'll need to put the answers C, D, B, C, A in order to get it - and don't forget to tick the box), and the other can be obtained by going here with the I *heart* Sloth avatar as your active avatar.

The holidays are past and it is time to freshen your shops with 2 new layouts.
A nice fresh clothing shop, with a tailored look, or why not try a fresh stop at a Neopian cafe. check out these new shop/gallery layouts!


Have you been training your pets for so long that you feel like a codestone factory?
Try the new adoptables and show your codestone loyalty (or addiction)!!

Hooray, the Destruct-O-Match avatar has been made available again! Score 2,500 or more in Destruct-O-Match III to get it.

Hey everyone :) I'm Beca, one of SunnyNeo's newest graphics makers.  I'm currently working on custom avatars for all staff members, which are displayed in their newsposts and on the about us page.
Avatars for all Neopians to use probably won't be up this week, but I'll get everything done as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can use our existing fake avatars.

As you may have read on the neopets news, the About Us page on neopets is back. This means that the Adam avatar (Number Six) is available again. You do now get it by having the same amount of neopoints out of the bank as the cost of the asparagus and then visiting the about us page on neo. Currently this is 9,859,457 5,271,254 NP. The amount changes daily. The reason they changed the page is because many staffmembers, including Adam and Donna, no longer work for neopets.

With great pleasure I bring you SunnyNeo's newest userlookup!
This userlookup is Bonju themed so each and every one of you can show their support for our bonju project.

We also would like to bring you some updates on the Bonju Project.
First off, everything is going really well. We are happy to see that lots of people are signing up as testers and  submitting new theories to be tested. Hopefully, if more people keep joining in, we will find out the mystery of this avatar soon.
We would also like to ask if people who own the Neopets Puzzle Adventure game could contact our bonju staff members, as more clues may be hidden in the game.
Furthermore, we sometimes organize Bonju discussion boards on avatar chat, if you want to see if any are currently going on, check the userlookup of jujerz.

If the Fountain Faerie isn't letting your Neopets take a swim in her pool, maybe you can convince her with this stunning and exclusive new lookup!

Rainbow water is completely sanitary and radiation free.

Neopets has awoken! They have just made the Korbat's Lab avatar available again for everyone. So how do you get it? Same as before!

Be in the top 50 of the Korbats Lab highscore table. (You get the avatar when the trophies are handed out, around 11.50 pm NST).

Today the avatars were handed out to people who are in the top 50 of this highscore table, proving that the avatar is really back. Let's hope TNT will bring back the Destruct-o-Match avvy soon as well.

Don't forget we still have the Bonju Avatar mystery to solve, if you want to help join SunnyNeo's Chef Bonju Project.

As you might have noticed, we've recently added a RSS feed icon next to our News and Information header. This means it is now possible to subscribe to our RSS news feed, to keep you up to date on SunnyNeo's news.

So what's an RSS feed, it basically is a way that our website tells you when we have a new newspost! If you want to know more about RSS, please don't neomail us, but read a more detailed explanation here.
