    Looking for a new “home”

    It's not quite open yet but you might like Oripets when it does open. One I am working on now that is a more traditional pet site. Most of the ground work is laid out already, but I am trying to finish up a basic quest system and a couple other minor things beforehand so hopefully soon. I ended...

    Do you own more than one virtual pet site?

    I currently own 2 live virtual pet sites, Eliyo and Animal Acres and have 1 that will hopefully be released soon called Oripets. Eliyo and Oripets I created and Animal Acres I bought. Right now I don't really focus on any of them as much as I would like, since I have had some personal life...

    Breeding on Virtual Pet Sites: Essential Feature or Overrated Trend?

    I think it really just depends on the game and the focus of it. On games that are about collecting a lot of pets, like the ones mentioned above it works. And I think especially when you can get fun colors from them for it. But in games that are more like neopets, and there is going to be a limit...

    Whats the hardest part of developing a pet site?

    Personally I think ideas come easy. But it takes a lot of time and dedication to keep things going. And it can be hard to stay motivated or make the time, and especially with the state of the market these days, as pet sites just aren't in their prime anymore. And they also require a lot of...

    How long does it take to build a virtual pet site?

    It definitely takes a long time to build something that would be successful and especially complete. I can't really say how long I took to build out either of my games Eliyo or Oripets (still in progress) since it's not like I worked only on them having a full time job in addition, but I would...

    Oripets - Coming Soon

    Thanks! I'm not sure on an exact opening date right now. Part of that would be deciding on what all needs to be done for a public release. We have started letting some people in a closed basis and will probably open up to others soon on a still closed bases for some continued testing and...

    Buying Map Location Artist

    I'm on the hunt for an artist who can do area location maps for a new project I am working on. The style is a more simple cell shaded one with gradients used at times to match our current item and pet assets. But we don't have any location areas done yet that need to be matched so this will be...

    Concept Art

    I love multiple poses. That's what I did for my game, but it is a lot of work. Especially if you do any separate parts and all the markings needing to match. It has made it harder to get more creatures though which is a big trade off. In my case immersion and feeling connected to your creature...

    Announcing Pereia! A new exploration pet RPG!

    Yeah it can be hard to conform story to mechanics. Maybe the user could describe what it looks like or something like that. Just throwing a thought out there anyway. Nice. There is definitely a lot to do overall with games. I have been a developer for years with a couple of my own game...

    Announcing Pereia! A new exploration pet RPG!

    Sounds pretty interesting and fun so far. Though I think it'd be better if you could work in some way for the user to actually pick the egg they receive. It makes sense story given your story for it to be random, and that can be kind of fun, but if you get one you don't like that can be pretty...

    Eliyo - Need Item Artist (Closed)

    Update: Job has been completed. Thank you. I'm looking for an item artist that can create about a dozen wooden statues that look like our animal creatures for Eliyo. Something like this is the idea. And I would be interested in getting a stone re-textured version of them all as well. Some...
