====== Needle Day ====== ^ Needle Day ^^ ^ Type | [[:Event List|Event]] | ^ Event style | Holiday | ^ Event date | November 11th | //Needle Day// is an annual event which occurs on November 11th, or 11/11. It was chosen for being the "pointiest date", suiting the aesthetic of [[ghost:Needle]]. The event is not formally organized with rules, but instead, the developers of Needle ([[dev:Galla]] and [[dev:Zichqec]]) release an update on the day, and new shells may be released for download as well. Fans of the ghost sometimes submit additional shells of their own. {{SIDETOC width18}} ===== Needle Day 2022 ===== The very first Needle Day, being the first 11/11 to occur after Needle's release in [[event:Ghost Jam 2022]]. Needle v1.1.0 was released, and two shells were released by the developers. These releases are when the term "Needle Day" was coined. ^ Thumbnail ^ Name ^ Developer ^ | {{shell:needle:close-up_view:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Close-Up View]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:tiny_pokey_pixels:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Tiny Pokey Pixels]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | ===== Needle Day 2023 ===== The second Needle Day was the first to be anticipated, and be planned for well in advance. Needle v1.1.1 was released, and 11 shells were released by the developers. 4 additional shells were released by fans of the ghost shortly after the update was released. ^ Thumbnail ^ Name ^ Developer ^ | {{shell:needle:a_thousand_thousand_dots:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:A thousand thousand dots]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:carved:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Carved]] | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:colored_pencils:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Colored Pencils]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:felting_needle:appearance.png}} | [[shell:needle:Felting Needle]] | [[dev:Zdzisiu]] | | {{shell:needle:fluffidle:appearance.png}} | [[shell:needle:Fluffidle]] | [[dev:digi_056|Digi]] | | {{shell:needle:foil:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Foil]] | [[dev:Vita]] | | {{shell:needle:forbidden_galla_shell:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Forbidden Galla Shell]] | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:graphite:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Graphite]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:hands_included:appearance.png}} | [[shell:needle:Hands Included]] | [[dev:digi_056|Digi]] | | {{shell:needle:inkdle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Inkdle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:markers:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Markers]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:maybe_a_tornado:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Maybe a Tornado]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:needlegon:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Needlegon]] | [[dev:Pommy]] | | {{shell:needle:safety_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Safety Needle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:wobbly_mouse_art:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Wobbly Mouse Art]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | ===== Needle Day 2024 ===== The third Needle Day was the first to have releases for the day besides shells for Needle and a content update. Needle v1.1.3 was released for the occasion and brought Needle to 1000 dialogues, a record in the English community at the time. It was nearly beaten out by [[ghost:Skrunkly]] which was updated less than 24 hours prior to Needle Day and was only a few dialogues short of 1000. The achievement was declared a shared victory by the devs. On November 9th, Galla and Zichqec presented a pseudo-crossword game in the Ukagaka Dream Team Discord server. If the crossword could be solved by the community, a new balloon would be created for Needle. The puzzle was {{event:needle_day:crossword_2024.png?linkonly|solved}}, and so the balloon [[balloon:Needloon (readable)]] was created. Beyond this, the shell [[shell:skrunkly:Needkly]] was created for Skrunkly, which depicts Skrunkly with Needle features. The shell [[shell:needle:Needle Dog]] was also re-released, and made publicly available for the first time. ^ Thumbnail ^ Name ^ Type ^ Developer ^ | {{shell:needle:asciidle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:ASCIIdle]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:ballpoint:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Ballpoint]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:blushie:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Blushie]] | Shell | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:correctly_drawn_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Correctly Drawn Needle]] | Shell | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:expensive_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Expensive Needle]] | Shell | [[dev:Galla]], [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:fineliners:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Fineliners]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:glitchy_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Glitchy Needle]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:moneydle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Moneydle]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:needle_dog:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Needle Dog]] (rerelease) | Shell | [[dev:cyanidecafe|Sappha \ CyanideCafe]] | | {{shell:needle:needle_hound:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Needle Hound]] | Shell | [[dev:CyanideCafe]] | | {{shell:skrunkly:needkly:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:skrunkly:Needkly]] | Shell (for [[ghost:Skrunkly]]) | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{balloon:needloon_readable:thumbnail.png}} | [[balloon:Needloon (readable)]] | Balloon | [[dev:Galla]], [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:needly_accurate_angle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Needly Accurate Angle]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:rotedle:appearance.gif}} | [[shell:needle:Rotedle]] | Shell | [[dev:Digi_056]] | | {{shell:needle:upholstery_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Upholstery Needle]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:x-ray:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:X-ray]] | Shell | [[dev:Zichqec]] | ===== Needle Day 2025 ===== The fourth Needle Day saw the release of Needle v1.1.5, bringing Needle to a total of 1111 dialogues. Additionally, the ghost [[ghost:hazy days]] was updated in order to respond to Needle poking while Needle is using the shell [[shell:needle:mosqueedle]]. ^ Thumbnail ^ Name ^ Developer ^ | {{shell:needle:3d_printed:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:3D Printed]] | [[dev:Pommy]], [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:corkscrew:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Corkscrew]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:embossed_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Embossed Needle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:expansive_needle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Expansive Needle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:fashionable_needle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Fashionable Needle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:glitterdle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Glitterdle]] | [[dev:Vita|Vita/yuyudev]] | | {{shell:needle:left-handed_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Left-Handed Needle]] | [[dev:Galla]], [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:mosqueedle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:mosqueedle]] | [[dev:idkimtired]] | | {{shell:needle:needle_irl:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Needle IRL]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:needle_of_needles:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Needle of Needles]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | | {{shell:needle:robed_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Robed Needle]] | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:sewing_machine_needle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Sewing Machine Needle]] | [[dev:Galla]] | | {{shell:needle:spindle:thumbnail.png}} | [[shell:needle:Spindle]] | [[dev:Pommy]] | | {{shell:needle:wiggly_needle:thumbnail.png?300}} | [[shell:needle:Wiggly Needle]] | [[dev:Zichqec]] | {{tag>Event Needle_Day}}
