Astral Pets - Development Updates

[AstrophelChasmata]

Making a thread here to show development updates in regards to our upcoming virtual Pet Game, Astral Pets
Currently a team of four working on this large project.
Art is headed by myself AstrophelChasmata and Zenostias.
Writing by Lakaishia.
Coding by Judda.

As of right now we are working on getting our Splash page/Landing page up and running on website end.
For art our first focus is getting at least 5-6 starting species and 5-10 colorations per for alpha launch.
Next will be a compendium of 50-100 items for start, and a Human avatar base and 1-2 games for scoring and currency rewards.


Current Species in Development for Colorations.

Sceons, Spectas, Gruffs, and Gornagunms


Our site will plan to be an art style diverse site with the ability to eventually make custom edits to pets in percentage amounts based on the item used to submit the custom request.
Human avatar and custom edits will eventually be released though both custom options are not currently planned for Alpha release at this time.
There will be pet breeding events periodically on the site as well in waves and limited release of related items.
Currently developing more colorations for these current 4 start species and some item sets are our next goals while also setting up for the multi-realm/world map for players to explore and be released over time.

To be honest, I'm super excited about Astral Pets. Having 5-6 starting species with 5-10 colorations each sounds like a game changer. It will make the game so much fun.

I think it would be cool if we could actually have the feature that allows us to design our own items for our pets. I think they can add a special design studio where we can create and trade items with our friends.

We plan on having custom making items in the future for the pets in which you can submit several designs or colorations, and you will have the option as a user to submit several of the same if you wish of your customs.

Lower percent edits will have a In Game Currency item you can purchase over time for a limited amount each month and there will be windows for submission of customs as the edits must be approved and there will be a certain quality regulation along with the percentage. There will be cash shop higher custom edit makers over time as well.

Because of Lakaishia and I’s experience with other games with these kinds of items a feature we also plan is for there to be a limited trade up amount, for in game cash for the premium currency for those who can not spend RLC in the game. It will be a slower build then those who can invest in the cash shop to help with site cost in time, but it will make to where even our free to play players over time can buy things from the cash shop as well without having to put anything into the site. The exact amounts have not been discussed as this feature will be something developed in the future and determined by overall in game economy.

We’ll have events too eventually that can award the fancier items or breeding items we plan to release, over time as well to give more players a chance at them, whether it be through writing contests, art contests, scavenger hunt events, and so on.

There will be more on this in the future as we get to that development point but there will be options for everyone and a way where anyone can eventually get the premium currency option items and stabilized trade for anyone who wants to trade currencies.

Those are great ideas! It shows you are on top of your plans. Just keep going and don't relent on your effort.
