A large part of the Fansites are inspired by the hobbies of the administrators and this is reflected in the fansite items, whether they are books, dolls, etc. What inspired you to have a unicorn as a fansite item to represent TibiaGoals in Tibia?

We were trying to create something that represented the change and the progress. We thought of different things, a bird hatching from an egg, a swan, but somehow these ideas seemed too normal. Then our love for unicorns emerged. We thought about the story of a pony, Juna, who turns into a real unicorn. Juna’s goal was to become something different, and she succeeded. That is a small part of our lore
When Luna was created, there were already unicorns in Tibia, there was a unicorn figurine, the baby unicorn that you can buy for tc, also a unicorn mount or a unicorn sausage, so we didn’t create something that would stand out from Tibian norms, nor we invented something new when implementing it, since there were already unicorns in the game. We mixed the unicorn with adorable and cute semi-copied colors from items like Energy vein or Stuffed Teddy, so that’s what makes it different from the unicorns that already exist in the game! We wanted our unicorn to be more like a stuffed animal.

Having the idea and knowing what you want is the first step to carry out the project of having a fansite item, but this does not end here, since fansite item creation contests for fansites are very popular in the community, while that other fansites recur to PixelArt artists so they can establish a better communication of what the administrator really wants. Both options are valid, the selection process is the most difficult because it is an opportunity that will only be present once and it is the item that will represent the fansite forever. Tell us a bit more about the process of creating Luna.

Luna was first created by Divine’Angel, however we decided to send the idea to the tibian sprite specialist-Makadamia We gave her the idea, we told her what we expected from the item and we saw that if it was possible to do and that it would be a bit too much. Originally, there were going to be two versions of the item. One was to be a brown pony (Juna), later changing to the colorful Luna. However, we wanted Luna to have two positions. A dreamer, with her eyes closed, and a Moon ready to go, sitting up and fabulous. We really wanted to stay with the dreamer, so we dropped the idea of ​​switching from Juna to Luna. Unfortunately, we couldn’t mix both ideas, since there are certain sprite limitations that we wouldn’t be able to meet.
We also didn’t want Luna to be static, we wanted her to move all the time, move her hair or hooves a bit, to make it look like she’s alive in some way, despite being a stuffed animal.
