    Where To Start

    I think Pet Game Framework's back-end is PHP so you should learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.  A brief rundown of each:  HTML is what you use to structure your content, text and images on the page.  CSS is what you use to style your content with colors, sizes, borders, and whatnot. ...

    Closed!

    Looks pretty good.  Some questions to help you get bites:  - When you say icons you mean the first set of imagery/item-like images?  - What file format would you be sending your images in? PSDs?  - What method of payment do you accept? Paypal or something else?  - How would you handle...

    Worldbuilding + Concept Creation

    Morning.  Think I'm far enough out to actually start the building. I bought a server, domain, and have everything set up and configuration on my server. That was the easy part. Now, I have to figure out how all of this is going to work.  Since I don't really have anyone to bounce this off of...

    Worldbuilding + Concept Creation

    I think the question to ask yourself is What do you want to accomplish? Adam was pretty candid about what he wanted to do when creating Neopets. He wanted to make a place where people could go when they're bored and maybe make a little revenue off banner ads. He accomplished both of those...

    Look at how far this game has come! So, you're using a Custom Solution over Twine now?

    Game Economies? How to Stop Them From Getting Out of Hand?

    It sounds like you're describing two different problems but I'll get to that in a minute.  The important thing here is to consider " How much is too much? "  Back in the Day(TM) when I ran games I was beginning to learn scripting but didn't have any a server that could run it, so I did...

    Generally speaking, I just wanted to make them darker so they looked less like McDonalds.  Instead of doing a reinstall I just went in and fixed the code myself and it seems to be working now.  I'll look/play around a bit when I get home tonight.  Edit: I decided to do a fresh install and got...

    Mysidia Deluxe

    Well, it's too hot to cook (heat index 105) and I'm just waiting to jump into portals so let's give this a spin.  1. Downloaded from Github 2. Logged into my Server  3. Upload + Extract went fine  4. Noticed ... my AddOn domain isn't working. I'll do that later.  ONWARD.  Ah. I remember...

    Mysidia Deluxe

    It's nice to see that some people are doing something with this script. I agree that it is a pretty good framework and it's done wonders for helping me get better at PHP. One of the reasons I stopped using it (besides deciding to change directions creatively) was because it was so old and used...

    Where Do You Work?

     Office Jobs tend to be like that. Most office workers wear a variety of hats and do what is needed of them.  I do about 15-20 tasks on a daily basis, but feel its easier to just say " I update the website " since most things fall under that banner.   The CEO is usually not the one doing the...

    Where Do You Work?

    I work in an office. My official title is Web Content Analyst - Digital Marketing Manager.  What I do at my day-job is actually pretty close to what I want to do for a pet/sim site; update the website. I post new content, update existing content, help plan content, and code/comp out some new...

    What anime are you into currently?

    Admittedly, I'm also in a bit of a rut after watching a few stinkers.  Here's some of my favorite anime and how I'd summarize it for newcomers in a sentence:  Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood  Two brothers use Science-Magic to save their country from Demons. Spice and Wolf...

    Not yet (aiming for later this week), but Vanilla has a whole showcase full of forums that were built in it.

    Pet site vs Pet world

    Yeah. I took a look around your site when I did my audit in May and remember user-submitted content being the concept.  In fact, it was one of the few websites I distinctively remember during the audit because it had an unusual concept. Think that's a vital first step.  Since I already...

    Forum Software - Codoforum

    Simple Machines Forum supports SSO but you'll have to do some work to get it to look nice. Invision Power Board is probably the best of the older forum software packages (but that may be bias talking since I hosted my earliest games through here).  I'm not sure about paying more for a forum...

    Pet site vs Pet world

    In my eyes, nothing.  A Pet Site is a website who's main objective is capturing/creating/breeding monsters. You usually have to do some matter of busy-work to earn money and items to take care of your acquired pets. It could be farming dailies. It could be playing mini-games. It could be quests...

    Petsite

    @Boltgreywing That is an interesting Rules Philosophy.  I got (or am rather still getting) into it with someone on a certain Sim site about exactly this. They are adamant the game should have a Block/Ignore Feature because they dislike one annoying but still rule-abiding user who has a knack...

    Petsite

    I think there might be a misunderstanding?  When I did the audit back in May I looked at over 200 different Pet/Sim Sites. I wasn't looking for all four criteria on all sites/games. Having just one of the four was a Pass. Your game Duelingpets initially failed the Test because the last news...
