    Thunderbolts and Lightning!

    Today another awe inspiring animated background has been added to the world of Flutter. Check out the WWF store to see the raw power of nature unleashed in the new “Thunder Storm” background. As always you can add it to your own grove for just 40 Facebook Credits. This is also a WWF item so remember this helps meet our target to build sustainable farming facilities in the Amazon.

    Speaking of which: 90% of the way there! That’s so close guys, cant wait for us to hit it :)

    Higher level players will find an incredibly cute new story quest awaiting them as the fruit bat looks to welcome a new addition to the family.

    We also have an exciting new announcement coming in the next week as we’ll be launching Flutter with a big player in the casual / social gaming space. Stay tuned.

    The Daily Quest Spirit

    You asked for it, you got it!

    More quests have arrived in Flutter, and not just one or two, but more than 50! We’ve built out a new system which gives you a new quest every day. That means more daily XP, and a new way to help the rainforest every day. Can’t wait till tomorrow? For just 10 Facebook Credits you can get yourself another quest straight away. This new system has taken a ton of work but now that its in there we’ll regularly be adding more and more quests to keep everyone busy in the rainforest. Got some ideas of quests for the system? Let us know!

    Get hunting for the red forest spirit to pick up your daily quest, and if you want more you can pick them up in the Power Ups tab.

    Also very importantly: we’re 78% of the way toward reaching our fund raising target to help our the Amazon! Let’s band together and help these guys out team, we’re so close to making a huge impact on this community’s life.

    Get a Pygmy Monkey, Make a Difference

    A Pygmy Marmoset monkey, a rich Heliconia (which your Hummingbird will love!) and some cheerful glow flowers have today been added to the WWF store.

    Every time you purchase one of these cute little critters – all real-life flora and fauna of the Amazon – you contribute directly to sustainable nut farming communities in Bolivia.

    Flutter is inspired by the Amazon, so we want to give back to the very environment that was our muse.

    The indigenous people of Versalles and Mategua are fighting for a sustainable Amazon by growing Brazil nuts instead of logging. But these guys are under-resourced, so they need your help to upgrade their operations and lead the way to a sustainable future.

    We’ve set a target to build 8 Payols (Brazil Nut storage barns) that will dramatically increase the productivity of these harvests by protecting nuts from spoilage.

    Every item purchased from the WWF counts and we’re over halfway there already with your contributions to date. So let’s do this together and increase the quality of life for these amazing people.

    The Eco-Friendly Nut

    Buy a Brazil Nut Tree in Flutter and support a sustainable Amazon

    You might simply know them for “always rising to the top” of your nut mixture, but Brazil Nuts are a surprisingly crucial element in the plight of the Amazon Rainforest. As well as being a great food, the nut’s uses span cooking oils, cosmetics, artists paints and even clock lubrication! As such they’re a valuable commodity on the global market, but more importantly, they are a sustainable crop that must live in a balanced, thriving Amazon environment.

    The indigenous communities of Versalles and Mategua in the Iténez protected area of northern Bolivia are two communities striving to break the trend of harmful mass logging, instead supporting themselves through the harvest of Brazil Nuts. But they are poor, under-resourced, and need our help. Together with our players we’re raising money to:

    • Improve crop value through organic certification
    • Build better storage facilities for crops
    • Build gardens to support better nutrition for the farming community

    20% of the purchase price of every Brazil Nut Tree in Flutter will go directly to funding these activities through WWF’s support programme in the Amazon. You can find the tree in the special WWF store, or in your Functional Items menu when in your grove.

    We’ll be bringing you updates from the community as we progress the initiative and hear more about their story. Thanks for your support!
