Foodbabs! (Open alpha)

[Dinocanid]

(As a side note, I don't know if this belongs in the sites showcase since it doesn't seem done enough for it? This can be moved if it has to.)

-Introduction-
Foodbabs! My very first try at doing anything involving adoptables. They're adorable, lovable food animal hybrids.


A few of the available starters

All of the editing and art is currently being done by me, so progress isn't exactly fast, but my goal for the site is to be charming and memorable; and a bit unique.

-Features-

• Seasonal adopts that can only be obtained through the event shop.
• Pet shows and contests (Not yet implemented)
• Luck and karma system (Partially implemented)
• Integrated forum
• Breeding oriented. A few starter breeds are available, but a majority will only be obtainable through breeding. Collect 'em all!
• Rarities and variants (Not yet implemented)
• User-friendly interface

-Extra Info-
Not a lot of features are on the site yet, but without a team I wanted to get feedback and suggestions from the userbase, so it's currently open alpha. All I ask from users that sign up is that they let me know of any bugs they find so I can fix them! It's very bland looking now, but I plan to change the layout later. Currently, the site is only compatible with computers.

I started to work on the festival grounds so seasonal adopts can become available, and I don't have much further to go. Meet Slyther the candy corn snake! He likes to get into the holiday spirit.

It looks very nice! If you want someone to...color-in your site appearance....then i'm here.

[Dinocanid]

If you could help with the site appearance that would be nice! I've been to busy with the technical stuff and adoptables to get to it.

The site's going to look a bit wonky for a while since I'm trying to make a theme. So if you go to the site and there are odd colors and tables everywhere, that's why
In addition to that, there are two new fall adoptables available:
Pumpkat (The namesake actually comes from the cat, which is pumpkin flavored. Not the pumpkin on it's head.)
Black Forest Dog (Has cherry filling and fluffy wool. Actually pretty snappy and is happiest when they are the center of attention.)

As an update, there have been a few completed in the recent weeks:

The first one is a hunger/thirst system. They don't deplete yet, but it should be fully implemented soon. The second one is backgrounds! The only background so far is a simple cardboard box, since the art for the others are being worked on. (The background is not currently available in the shops yet)


Next we have the sidebar! Active pets will now say things from time to time and find currency for you. Later on, they'll be required in order to do certain activities such as exploring. Below that, there is a counter of how many species are available on the site so you can keep track of your collection.




The Festival Grounds now has a link to the event shop for the current month(s).


Karma is now on the site as well. It is gained by clicking adoptables and lost by eating them. It doesn't serve a purpose yet, but it will later be used to join associations and get exclusive items and babs from boxes.

The guidebook on the site has been updated. There is currently an "adoptable ID 0" bug on the profiles of users who haven't assigned a fav pet. If you get this error, just PM me and I'll fix it for you. I'm working on a permanent solution, but I haven't found one yet.

Signed up! Your idea for the site is awesome. Who doesn't love pets based on foods!

[Dinocanid]

Thanks! ^^
Right now I'm working on "shelf space" so you can only have a max of 10 adoptables unless you upgrade your shelves. It's not done yet, but it does work for the adoption center so far.

[Bexasaurus]

Nice work! I've noticed you also changed the theme of the site as well.
Bug/Issue: Whenever I try to view my profile it gives me the following error: Adoptable ID 0 does not exist or does not belong to the owner specified...

Actually it gives this error for some members and others I can view.

Another issue is that the "go to my account" (link in the sidebar) is giving me a blank page...

edit: pm's are off to the far right

[Dinocanid]

Fixed them!
The adoptable ID 0 thing is an ongoing issue that I can't seem to find a fix for. It happens because new users don't automatically have a favpet when they sign up. I'm working on it though.

I'm not sure in what context you are having the error, but as I heavily rely on favpets for my site I have codes in place (thanks to various Mysidia users <3):
Example of an explore page (you need a companion to explore):

PHP Code:

if ((int)$profile->getFavpetID() == 0) { 
            $document->addLangVar('It seems you do not yet have not assigned a companion! Assign one and then come back.'); 
        return; 
        } 


Example of my sidebar:

PHP Code:

if ($profile->getFavpetID() == "0"){
            $this->FavPetSB = new Paragraph; 
            $this->FavPetSB->add(new Comment("<center><b>No Companion</b><br><a href='http://inekel.mysidiahost.com/account/profile'>Choose one!</a></center>"));
        } 


I hope this helps?
