Proceeds from Ko-fi support will go towards maintaining and upgrading The Space Station's website. Regardless of whether or not you choose to support us financially, we thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Additionally, the cash shop has been moved to our Ko-fi page. This allows purchases to be handled automatically, streamlining the process for everybody involved.

When supporting or purchasing an item via Ko-fi, please ensure that your Ko-fi email is the same as the one associated with your site account!
If it is not, you will not recieve your rewards correctly. In the event that you do not recieve your rewards, please contact an owner as soon as possible so that it can be sorted out.

In order to reduce strain on staff, particularly during events and large updates, we have decided to introduce Species Artists as a new role for our staff team. Species Artists will be responsible for the creation of website graphics such as item art on a sign-up basis.

This position is non-monetary and paid via a special on-site currency that can be used in the Staff Shop to purchase species items. Additionally, Species Artists will have the right to participate in USD adopt batches, gachas, breedings, and other design opportunities.

You must be at least 18 years old to apply. The sign-up form will close on January 7th, and we hope to announce new staff on January 10th.

Sign up here!

GuEST ARTIST OPPORTUNITY:

We are looking for guest artists to create an adopt batch this month!

Artists will get to create one design of any species to be sold for a price of their choosing. The deadline for design completion will be January 29th, and the batch will go up for sale on January 31st.

You must be at least 16 years old to apply. The sign-up form will close on January 7th, and we hope to announce guest artists on January 10th!
