Sad to see this post! TGL seems to be that last remaining resource for game owners and industry freelancers alike!

Hello all!

I am on the hunt for a dev to integrate iFrames to CE's competition feature (during show entry) and Beauty Contest feature (during voting) to cut down on scrolling and improve the user experience. Feel free to reach out via Discord (Mae#0107) or send a PM here if you are interested in taking on this task!

Bump. Added more info since my initial post as lazy and terrible.

Celestial Equine is in the middle of a major overhaul, and we are in search of a wonderful writer! This is a paid position with tons of room for growth as the site grows.

What does this position entail?

We are initially looking for a writer to perfect CE's backstory (I will assist) along with writing an initial story for our world merge. I do have rough outlines and writing style examples, so you will have a good amount of guidance for this position! In addition to the backstory and initial merge story, we are wanting to release monthly "lore" to tie in item releases and other site changes.

Interested? Feel free to contact me on Discord Mae#0107 or via PM. I am hoping to fill this position very quickly!

@Ibbit I may have some long-term work! Will reach out via discord!

This can be closed. Found the error.

I just shot you an email with the .htaccess doc @Design1online

Mind shooting me an updated email address and I will reach out through there? I will get that info sent over!

@Design1online

Yes. I actually had sent you an email about this a few days ago. We have updated the .htaccess file along with the language table (url) in the db. There seems to be an issue with directing to the correct dB for the dev vserion, but my other devs have not had success with this issue.

Hello!

I am seeking a dev to set up a development server for www.celestialequine.com. We do have the sub-domain setup but are having issues with redirection to the live site. We are running on PFG (pet game framework). Feel free to shoot a private message if you are interested in taking on this job!

EDIT: added financial information

I have found myself having less and less time to devote to www.celestialequine.com which has lead me to consider selling the game.

About the game

Celestial Equine is a browser-based fantasy equine SIM for all ages! Basic game-play is completely free, but upgraded features are available in our special Cash Shop. Players can create their own fantasy horses, compete in shows, battle, and breed to create unique genetics. Celestial Equine features 18 unique worlds, which are unlocked through game-play. Each world houses unique breeds, shops, clubs, competitions, mini games, and more! With so many interesting features, players can choose to focus on a single game-play aspect, or attempt to master multiple areas of the game! Whether a player is interested in breeding unique genetics, playing mini-games, or winning competitions, Celestial Equine users are sure to be amazed!

Here is a quick breakdown of the game's current features:

• Standard registration/login/credential retrieval
• Forum/Chat
• Breeding system
• Horse Sale System
• Private Messages
• Player Reviews + Rewards
• Random Events
• Upgraded Gameplay
• Battle System
• Competition System
• Clubs (not currently enabled, but completed)
• Quests
• Advanced Admin Panel
• Cash Shop (Paypal Integration)
• Discord Server Integration
• Moderator System
• Unreleased art/items

I am proud to say the game has been profitable for the last two years and does currently support itself. There are a few bugs lingering around the game that I have not been able to get fixed due to a lapse in a full time developer. I would also consider a partner with the appropriate buy-in as I do love CE, but I simply cannot devote as many hours as it needs to be successful. Serious buyers/potential partners can contact me through private message here or via Discord (Mae #0107). I am happy to share AdSense revenue, Paypal Revenue, and our current game stats through private conversation!

Thank you!

I am looking for 2-3 recolor artists to assist in recoloring images for www.celestialequine.com. Please PM me with examples of your work, rates, and availability!

Congrats!

Hello TGL community!

I am looking for 1-2 developers looking for a few short term projects at www.celestialequine.com. We only have a handful of tasks left before we exit live development mode (aiming for an August 1st launch). These remaining tasks are a mixture of bug fixes and current feature enhancement with flexible deadlines. CE is built off of PGF but is heavily modified. It is a plus if applicants have experience with this framework!

If interested feel free to send a PM here or contact me via Discord Mae #0107.

Hey! Sent you a PM.

He randomly popped up again about two months ago looking for work....I made the mistake of indulging and am out a little under $300. ARG! He has vanished on me before, but I have NEVER experienced paying him and being left high and dry.

Hello everyone!

I am looking for 1-2 additional developers to help complete the last few tasks remaining before our grand opening! 

DEV ONE - front end cleaner

The first open position is to help optimize a few of our mobile view pages and to clean a few messy designs. This will not include any backend work!

DEV TWO - back/front mixture

The second position is a mixture of bug fixing and assisting completing our admin panel migration. These features are complete and operational in our old cp but I would like everything to be accessible in one place! 

If interested feel free to reach out via discord. Mae #0107 is my handle!

I actually have an amazing writer I can refer! I just shot this ad over to her.

Hey there!

Based on our AdSense feedback from our three units we had 100,195 page views, 281,355 impressions, and 134 clicks.

Hello all!

I am selling two 300x100px ad slots at the footer of Celestial Equine at $20 per month. These ad slots are available to other games, artists looking to promote their personal pages, or other types of websites (so long as they are appropriate). If interested, please shoot me a PM with any questions!

Celestial Equine has huge news! We have launched our first Indiegogo campaign to help fund our database optimization/genetics overhaul, server upgrades, and other various developmental updates!

Why indiegogo?

Celestial Equine is currently in a live development mode with an amazing, active group of players. We are entering our final phase of development, which includes perfecting our current features, resolving lingering bugs, and most importantly improving our game's load times. In order to speed up Celestial Equine, we are needing a total overhaul of our genetics system. Due to the massive amount of genetics available for players, we have ran into glitches during breeding, breed registration, and an overall lag during browsing and other activities. Here is a breakdown of where the $1,500 will be spent:

• Genetics Overhaul - $500.00

The genetics update will not only improve load times, but also result in a more interesting breeding experience! In addition to optimizing our database, we also have a new breeding algorithm to introduce! This new genetics feature will allow for carrier genes, incorporate genetics from the parent breeds, and add a rarity factor into the breeding script.

• Server Upgrades - $500.00

We anticipate a sizeable influx of active players once our load times are resolved, so upgrading our servers is our second most important priority. We would like to raise 3 months worth of server fees + the fee our developer will charge to assist with the move. Our upgraded server will ensure Celestial Equine stays lighting fast!

• Bug Fixes - $300.00

We have a handful of pesky bugs (errors) remaining that need to be resolved. These fixes will help improve the game experience and allow us to introduce new features!

• Genetics Management System Upgrades - $200.00

The last bit of our raised funds will go towards upgrading our genetics management admin panel! These upgrades will include the following:

• Adding a rarity aspect to each gene and integrating into the breeding script
• Speed up gene uploading process
• Ability to preview recently uploaded breeds to check for errors

All additional funds will go towards new features!

As previously mentioned, Celestial Equine is currently in LIVE beta mode, so you can check it out for yourself before deciding to back our project. Our goal is to move from live development by August for a grand opening!
