Thank you for the offer. What datatype can I use instead of INT? Here is a screenshot of the data for one rabbit's genetics. Each column has a number for the allele. And then we display the alleles as letters (which are specified in another table). I recently switched these over from CHAR...

Thank you everyone for the advise. I have looked into many options and spent many hundreds of hours recoding the basic structure of the site and optimizing the database. I recently made another huge optimization. unfortunately, it's not enough. Right now, we have a thing called 'legacy...

After working on my first game for 5 years (Leporidae), I wanted to try my hand at another game. This site is eggadopt.com and will focus on eggs and the creatures that hatch from them. I was inspired by the adoptables community, such as on deviantart, and people who collect images of their...

I commissioned Pepper-Head for some artwork for my site. I was very impressed with the quality, the work is fantastic! Easy to work with and it was a pleasure to work with them, great experience. 

Such a shame about those features not picking up speed. Thank you all for everything, though! I love that we have this forum and hope to see more activity pick up later. 

We usually have about 5-10 online at any given time. Last I checked, there were about 150 'active' accounts. We don't make any money really, but sometimes it breaks even with the server costs.

Thank you, Digital! We've considered turning the genetics into a blob. We constantly view and update genetics, so that may not be an option. I can look into caching.  And thank you for the info on Novilar's limits. I've been looking for any sites that have higher limits on allowed number of...

Thank you everyone for the advice! We resolved the issue by removing starter money and binding starter items to the account holder. There is no longer incentive and we're not seeing multiple accounts like we used to.  I also wrote an autoban script to help deal with obvious multiple account...

How many animals do other sites usually allow players to have, and does the limit include offspring?  How many offspring do they have?  What kind of restrictions are on players and their number of animals? What techniques are used for coding and database for breeding games that save space? ...

Hi. I've worked on breeding and image generating code in PHP/MySQL. I haven't done anything like that with Javascript, but the concepts might be similar. You provide the genetics of each parent, it randomizes between the two, and then outputs a genotype for the offspring based on Mendelian law. ...

Hello everyone! If anyone wants to add me on Discord, I could totally use some TGL buddies. =D Mine is: Lunar Eclipse#6934 If you want to hit me up to chat about art, code, development, or anything else, feel free.

Hi! Good to meet you! I was just thinking about making an 'in search of friends' thread myself =3 You sound nice, feel free to add me. Welcome to TGL!

That's what we do, too. We also have another table for shops and collections.

This is wonderful! Happy birthday to TGL! ^^ Thank you, Digital!  And to all the forum goers, thank you too!

We have this on leporidae.org. I use PHP with Imagemagick and and a MySQL database. Feel free to message me if you need any info on how to implement it.  When breeding, we get alleles from each parent and give 50/50 chance for offspring to inherit them. For mutations, maybe add a random chance...

Thank you very much! This is great to know. I'll look around and learn more about it. =D 

This is a good idea. I added a one month wait period recently for new accounts on sending money. Will definitely add the alerts list for staff, that should make the funneling issue much easier to deal with. Ooh, and I had no idea about having a database moved elsewhere. Do you recommend a...

I agree and would like to remove this rule we have. It's a pain to police and there shouldn't be a problem with multiple accounts on the site. What drives users to create them should be removed. Most players on our game are creating multiple accounts for the starting money (I can see them...

 Are multiple accounts allowed on your game? Not allowed? If so, why? If not, why? And what do you do to deal with them? I'm having a problem on my game. I would prefer if multiple accounts were allowed, but we need to be able to limit the number of animals each player has so the site doesn't...

I have strong opinions but am always interested in hearing what others think. I've been involved in animal welfare and husbandry for many years and have entertained the possibility that breeding is abusive with deep concern despite the fact that I breed rabbits IRL for show. I would stop if I...
