If these games want to be relevant, I think going mobile might be more of a necessity than it used to be, or at the very least, there will need to be some more drastic changes. The nostalgia factor can hold some people over who've played before, but if people want to reach out to younger...

I think you hit the nail on the head for the main issue. They're boring. I'm not sure how well people understand the importance of having a dedicated social media manager versus an RSS reader. Things I would love to see if I was into a pet game on their socials: sneak peeks/previews, jokes or...

Oh WOW your work has improved a lot! Gorgeous, best of luck finding work :D

@Angel  Well, no one hires right off the bat from randomly finding someone online. Social media is just an opportunity to be discovered, then things can go from there. I don't need to ask, I've seen several posts on Twitter of people mentioning it. Though that in particular was back when the...

I honestly don't know one professional artist (and I mean Western comic artists, mangakas, video game artists, etc) that /don't/ have an Instagram. I've searched up random professionals online and often the first link that comes up is their Instagram. I'm also always hearing stories about how...

It's given to you automatically in your mailbox, @Corleone :)

They've started their Christmas event today! :D  Go get your free santa hat :P  

It has quite a few differences. Granted, I'm only familiar with the older games, not New Leaf. You run your own campsite. You do favors/requests by collecting items. You have no control over what gear you use (fishing pole, net, shovel) since they're based on location. (In certain spots, you can...

@WinterBlues WOW you've improved a LOT since I last saw your art :D Awesome job!

Bump! Halloween is coming up if anyone wants these themed items :)

Unless you have some sort of game in beta, odds are you won't have a successful Kickstarter. I've seen many attempted crowdfundings by various pet/sim games and most all of them failed in one way or another. Same with other games or other non-game related projects. People are more distrusting...

This is another old guide of mine that I've spruced up a bit. -- Moderators are an important aspect to any company, that includes pet site games! They're the face of your business, the ones dealing directly with your userbase and customers. They're the ones keeping everything safe and...

I keep finding old stuff, haha. An old item tutorial I made for a croissant :D  I also posted another thread that focused on coloring if you'd like to see a different style of shading. View full guide

Two step by step walkthrough examples of how I cel shaded items. The art is a little dated, but the method I use is still similar and this should still be helpful regardless. :) The important thing is to keep in mind light source and to have it be consistent throughout the item, it's varying...

Super old, but still might be helpful to someone?? View full guide

(To be fair, this is an old guide I typed a while ago, though I went through it and fixed it up a bit.) I figured I'd post a 'How to Get Started in VP World' guide-esque. This will mainly contain my thoughts on what I feel are most needed to get started in making your own virtual petsite. You...

Happy to help! I guess in case you may want it, here's my tips on marketing on Deviantart: http://fav.me/d8ykf2k I guess it could be useful for general follower gaining, and they may share your stuff around which could help you reach the right people? Worth a shot, perhaps? XD

What you're looking for is marketing advice, which is something I can't really help with, unfortunately. I have no idea how to market on anything apart from Deviantart, and you don't want to be doing commission work there. ^^; Perhaps look into marketing tutorials? Maybe YouTube or Coursera...

A prize for a patron of mine :)

Just be sure that ya'll (and anyone else reading this) actually deeply understand the TOS you implement into your site. These aren't just empty words. These are not only the rules of your site (something you'll have to defend when users question or break them) but also things you would have to...
