I've seen a lot of people use Patreon as just a tip jar with no real rewards apart from furthering the creator's ability to work/generally support the creator. Keep in mind, without a following to start, you're most likely going to see little to no success with it. Not trying to bring you down...

Echoing this :)   I think I'd be fine with the forum branching out to like-minded games, like Tamagotchi or other pet care games. If it fits the theme, I think it could work. Plus I'd be totally open to hearing about pet care phone apps XD

W3Schools, Codeacademy, and Coursera are probably nice places to start. The fun thing about HTML, CSS, and JS is that you don't need a server to test stuff out, you can do it all in Notepad and opening up the file in your browser. :)

Drawing with a mouse is 100% possible and you can do a TON with it. That said, if you want to make things easier on yourself, that's why tablets were invented. You won't magically be a genius with digital art after getting a tablet (as soooo many beginner artists believe), but it'll make things...

Congrats again! Fun contest, thanks for hosting it :)

Lack of funds, lack of planning, lack of time, lost passion, lack of organization, staff dropping. Probably the ultimate one would be lack of planning. That's essentially the core cause of all the sites I've been a part of failing.

Appreciate the clarification :)  (Sorry for my attitude, my patience for that crowd is all but gone nowadays x'D) I'd try Deviantart's forums. I can't guarantee the person would stay on, but you might find some people nostalgic for the idea. That's really the only place I can think of.

I'm sure you could find artists like that, most likely either very young or very passionate about your project, but for the rest of us, what we hear is you essentially asking for free work and we'd just turn you down. I can't help but shivver when reading this. In all respect to you, take the...

I don't remember the specifics, and there were quite a few reasons. I think it was a mix of lack of funding (despite the Kickstarter), poor planning, personal drama in the owner's life, and other reasons. There was quite a bit of a backlash around its closing as the owner seemingly disappeared...

Deviantart, Youtube, Patreon for feeds. The gallery would not be a feed. I shouldn't need anything backend for the gallery, I would think.

The numbers you've listed are meaningless without knowing anything about the site's economy. It'd be more relatable and understandable to advertise the idea of: Easy: you start off with x amount of in game currency (ie normal pet game play) Medium: you start off with no currency Hard: you...

Note: This is not immediate work. I'm just looking for quotes for this project right now. This is also not pet site work, but for a personal website. Idea: Very simplistic layout. Ajax with in page loading, mobile friendly/dynamic. Horizontal text navigation at the top (fades with hover). RSS...

If you ever want to try ads again, perhaps a more controlled route might be better? Having site owners purchase spots or something?

Thank you so much x3

NPCs are are just non-playable characters, that's what it means. As far as what they are, their purpose, what they can do, the extent of their code, etc., it's all up in the air. There isn't really a standard.

Congrats to everyone! :D

No worries, happens to all of us XD

Banks are fine, that's not what this thread is about. It's asking about users actually owning and managing their own bank, rather than having an "account" with a bank that the site controls.

It's an interesting idea, but I think it gets complicated really quickly, especially if you involve loans.  I think Anoua hit most of the points there. Speaking as a pet site feature, it doesn't really feel /pet/ site-y. I think it could maybe work for other themed typed games, but for pet...
