    Collecting in games, good or bad?

    I like collections to a certain degree, and I prefer collecting things that offer functionality, unless they are avatar items, then I'll take fluff if I can decorate with it.  I think decorating is a purpose in itself though, so again there is some utility.  I'm not so much into achievements...

    When you start programming, what do you do to mentally prepare?

    Since I can't drink coffee anymore due to acid reflux (boo!) I now use MiO Energy Iced Mocha Java water droplets which have caffeine and B-vitamins.  It tastes pretty good even though it's not exactly like coffee.  I always start with my caffeine drink, LOL.  If I need to think, I'll usually...

    Free art pieces, or always going to get paid?

    The only art I've given away for free is to friends and family, and usually that's some of my traditional practice pieces or crafts.  I currently have no time to do a lot of art because I'm in college and working, but all my digital art has been going into making my own game art.  I have very...

    Coding pains

    Oh gawd, yes, I've had similar bugs like that only to realize it was something so simple!

    Solpets

    I always love seeing more games added to the game list.  Do you have any examples of what pets look like?

    Draconis Theory

    So something really cool happened to me from one of my breedings.  I had a dragon that I swore was one color when it hatched, then later it was a different color.  When I looked at her stats, sure enough, she was born with a special talent which allows her secondary color to change.  Dragons...

    Show off what you are working on

    I'm making pet icons for the pet system in my rpg browser game.  This is my first time making pixel art.  I bought Aseprite on sale on Steam, and it really does make creating pixel art so easy.  Here's my very first one that I just made this morning, which is now on the alpha test site of my game:

    Dragon Ruhtel

    Your first dragon looks an awful lot like the one found on this site http://forestofmirrors.x10.mx/levelup/click/YLj3b You are clearly drawing or tracing from other people's art work, and this is not only going to turn people off from playing your game, but it could get you sued by the original...

    Coding pains

    I do find it frustrating to go back and rewrite stuff too.  Even worse is when you test something and no matter what you do, it just will not work, and you have to end up reverting everything and start all over again.

    Coding pains

    I think it's important to take breaks and just relax, watch a show, read a book, or play a game that isn't yours.  The brain does need rest just as much as the rest of you.

    Show off what you are working on

    Today I added some hover boxes on the main page of my game to give tooltips for some of the options that players first see once they create an account and login.  I've had a few people register for my alpha test, but so far no one has actually played or leveled up, so I thought maybe people are...

    Show off what you are working on

    I thought I'd show avatar art that I made using a hybrid of traditional and digital art for my old school RPG game.  In trying to keep with the archaic feel of being old school, I'm experimenting.  I have an NPC that also sketches (will eventually be responsible for all the art on site) but I'm...

    New features + bug fixes + breeds!

    Oh the pretty nature pony!

    Coding pains

    I get that when I do boring stuff like typing in descriptions or writing quests.  Programming itself, while very difficult and a serious pain at times, gives me the feeling that others get when solving puzzles once I figure out how to do something.  It started out as a way to relieve boredom and...

    The adoptables on this site do not grow through clicks.  They grow through making forum posts.

    What did you use to build your project?

    What will the benefit be to transitioning a game already fully developed with its own PHP to a framework and putting all that work in?  Just curious :)

    What did you use to build your project?

    For my dragon RPG game I'm using an old php game engine called Dragon Knight which I updated to be PHP 5.6 compliant, and using mysqli.  I also added a bunch of much needed security features to the engine.  If and when I begin my pet game idea, I'm most likely going to use Mysidia Adoptables.

    Preferred Programming IDE/Editor

    I know there are probably better ones out there, but I use Notepad++.  It works fine for me.

    I think this one would be much easier to integrate into a website : http://twinery.org/

    Feedback: Adoptables

    I evolved my Kitsu and still can't figure out how to name it.  I tried naming it when I evolved it and got a database error, so I did a regular unnamed evolve, and now I can't name it.  Is there a way to allow us to manually name them?
