[pixwits] Probably a very long WIP thread C:

[WillowArmadillo]

Hello (again!)

I ventured into the Mysidia script a couple of years back, but frustration and life took over for a little while, but now I'm back and still have my little adoptable dream >3<

I tried setting up with byethost and x10 host but ended up stumbling at the first hurdle, so HoF has very kindly setup my site on Mysidia host :D

Today I've done some very simple things like choosing a theme and uploading my first few pets, but I'll be documenting here everything that I'd ideally like to see completed!

Sample stages of the basic Black Pixwit, egg, hatchling and adult, as well as the rarer alternate (albino) form.

Although I'm not going to (in the near future at least) be branching out species-wise, I will be making a lot of diverse Pixwits, some variations can be seen below.



I've had a fondness for these little pixel idiots for a while, they were originally a forum based adoptable, but I think they deserve a bit more than that C:

I've never had any heavy lore written up for them, the idea being that they're very silly/easy going and cute, based in this world but with some fantasy elements. As such I don't really have any NPCs planned or a "world", just a setting of a sanctuary in Scotland.

Generally the creature and item art I'll be creating myself ^^

x Items needed to explore (they'll be places to carry your Pixwits safely on a journey)
- Jean Pocket, Teacup, Toy Boat, Mitten - 4/4 done
xTrinkets (random novelty things your klepto pixels will hoard)
- Secret - 10/10 done
x Rarity + special symbols - pixel stars
x Pixwits (aiming for 50 types on release)
- 4/50 done
x Advertising logo/banners (might have to hire someone for this)

[ feature WIPS ]
- - - -

I may or may not have to seek paid help with further coding, since I'm only really experienced with the very basics, but I'm going to at least give things a shot

x Explore system: Forest, Fields, Loch, Highlands (guide)
x Pet profiles (guide)
x Held items (guide)
x Rarities (guide)
x Quests (guide)
x Egg limits for USRs (found old guide which needs the 'doadopt.php' which I can't seem to find...will attack again at a later date)

After those more important features I have some more challenging ideas, that might not be possible to implement but we'll see.

x Equipping - The idea being there will be 'overlay' items that sit on top of a pixwit, like Flight Rising's apparel. However I'm assuming this has to be done on a system that loads images a different way, but like I said I don't really know about these things so please forgive my ignorance

x "Battling" - More like "bluffing with style" :p
Pixwits aren't aggressive, but I'm thinking it'll basically be who can show off the most with movesets like: Puff up, Flutter Eyelashes, Sing and Scream
Winning would grant currency and trinkets.
I know there are some battle system guides but I've not looked into them yet C:

[ feedback ]

Let me know what you think of my plans!

Do you think a click adoptable with only one main species is too restrictive?
Would the lack of lore/world put you off? If so, what would you like to see (maps, in depth info about the sanctuary, NPCs?)
What would you like to see in general!?

If anyone wants to take a look at the site as it is barebones I'm comfortable with that, as long as you're aware that it's mainly for feedback at this time and any pets/currency will be wiped before release.

Ty for looking <3

Eeep! These are so cute >w< I'm definitely going to join. owo

Are you going to be opening any artist positions for your site? c:

[WillowArmadillo]

I’m glad you like them!

At the moment I’m considering hiring someone to make to the logo and banners, which are an important thing to have I think.

Some other ideas I’ve had which I might open a position for will be explore NPCs (animals not humans) which would need to be pixel art, and finished off a certain way to fit in with the site style.

And the other being shop artwork :)

If you are interested feel free to PM me with what you’d be interested in, and I can go into specifics! :)

[Pear]

Ooh, I might take you up on that. :3 I'll PM you later when I have free time, as I'm supposed to be doing HW rn |D


Edit: I actually don't think I have the time rn to help out..But maybe some day I'll apply! >:3 <3

Looking cute so far!

[WillowArmadillo]

Just a quick note to say I've got a week off coming up and I'm really gonna try and bust out some coding and get some features on the go. The site's been neglected a few months there but I'm going to get back to work soon
