Looking for a programmer knowledgeable in PHP and comfortable doing some modifications to the Mysidia Framework to finish up a trade system I've nearly completed. All I need now is to add a feature when accepting a trade to switch all trades including that pet to closed. Trades in the MySQL...

When deciding to join/check out a VPS, what do you consider the "bare minimum" of features that make it worth it? While I have a rough grasp of PHP, I am still working on learning (and doing so self-taught fashion) so things come slowly, and I do prefer to focus most of my energy in developing...

I've enjoyed virtual pet sites, adoptables, and sims for as long as I've been active online. However one of the biggest things that eventually leads to me abandoning a website has been a lack of immersive content. I'm planning a long-term project and I have plenty of my own ideas, but I'm just...

Hello, Name's Crows. I am a freelance hobby artist mainly working on 2D digital artworks. I am open for commissions to help cover my medical costs and to care for my animals (chickens!) Here are some of my recent examples;   Current Work in Progress (commission): All characters (c)...

I've only skimmed over all of this but breeding is something which I'm passionate about. Offline, real breeding is not how you describe it. There are many decisions that a breeder must make such as how often an animal is bred, at what age babies are weaned and rehomed, which animals are sent to...

I generally see folks sell at larger sizes that are meant to then be reduced down to a smaller size. If it still holds well when resized then I'd say whichever dimensions you prefer work just fine! (I personally like items in the 80px to 120px range, pets in the 300px to 500px range)

Oh yes, this is a huge issue with the vast majority of artists (myself included). We just find a face structure we like and subconsciously reproduce it, same with body type. I've been practicing drawing a variety of body types, nose shapes, and eye shapes to see if I can get out of the habit...

I develop species concepts more than characters. I pretty much always start out by sketching something super sloppy to get the rough shape I want down. Then I take some time imagining how it moves. Once I have an idea for movement I find an animal with a similar movement style and do some...

Looking back over the latest sketch with a fresh mind I'm curling my lip at it, thay design has lost the powerful build that I'd like them to have. I'll drop back to Sketch 1 and work on the paws...I think I'll go with a fossa like structure for the feet. Thanks all for the feedback! I...

While I cannot do much (if any) of the programming for my little project, I can and am working on developing/revamping an older species of mine! Figured I would show off some of my work in progress pieces. If anyone has suggestions/questions I'd greatly appreciate it! The species started out as...

Hey all, So my project is just a wee baby in the earliest stages of development right now. I have an array of features thought out or at least planned as bullet lists, but most of what I plan comes from my own particular experiences and desires in regards to the VPL/Sim community. I want to be...

CURRENTLY ON HOLD Hello! I am now to the point where I am looking to hire artists for the artwork I cannot do for my work-in-progress game. I've already reached out to map and environment artists, so now I am looking for an item artist or two (if those two can match styles closely). This...

Absolutely still  an active Play-by-Post RPG community! There are dozens of them if you do some googling, and many are very active. There will always be people who prefer writing to playing a video RPG, and if you cater to that niche then you would end up with a healthy, active community, I...

Right now my immediate goal is find a way to get my digital artwork to reflect what I can do traditionally, as the divide between the two is unsettling for me. Long term I'd like to illustrate my own graphic novel. In the most broad sense my dream would be to look at my artwork and feel...

Hello TGL community, I am looking to commission a programmer who is experienced with GD Library/dynamic images for pet customization/dress-up on my website. I would like to have the feature added so that users can add (pre made, of course) backgrounds to their pets, and items on pets. This...
