    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    I accept your apology, but volka is still right. I understand that back in the day, making web apps, pet games, and games in general was very expensive, so your advice would hold water back then. However, now the internet is full of free resources and tutorials to give people a head start. Later...

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    No thanks, IntroJS seems to have what I'm looking for.

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    Why spend $10 when there are free alternatives that can basically do the same thing? (IntroJS for example) I use free hosting  (for both of my sites) and only need to pay once a year to keep my domain name, so I'd rather save up for more important things like better hosting and staff (when I...

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    Looks useful, but I'm only looking for free options (jTour costs $10)

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    Something like IntroJS is actually exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I'll be sure to use that search term though, so I can look at other options.

    On-site tutorial with PHP?

    This is something I've failed to find on google, since no matter what I type I always get general PHP tutorials. What I'm talking about is some sort of interactive tutorial for the pet site. When users first create an account, they might get a pop-up about how to get their first pet and where to...

    Coding pains

    That's exactly how I'd describe it! It feels like it's melting or frying or something x_x

    Open Q&A!

    In order to both answer questions from the community and get some feedback at the same time, I've decided to do an open Q&A for Wild Souls! Have a question about the game? Post it here and I'll try my best to answer it! I won't be keeping a master list in the OP, so it's best to read through...

    Coding pains

    I agree that finally getting that code you were struggling with for a long time feel extremely rewarding. It usually feels like I broke a barrier or some sort, especially since I am still learning. It's kind of like "I actually did it! :0 Now I can do more stuff". I do need to take breaks...

    Question about Pet Game Item Art Styles

    I'd say it depends on who's buying. From what I've seen, art styles in pet/sim games are pretty diverse, and semi-realistic and cartoony/neopets styles tend to be used equally as often. One style isn't going to appeal to everyone, so no matter which style you decide to choose you're always...

    Illustrations and a video!

    I painted two illustrations in FireAlpaca today, one of Ventum Collis (the moorland biome) and the other of Nigrum Montis (the taiga biome): (Hey wow would ya look at that sheep) I also created a video on youtube! It shows off the in-progress registration process, including character...

    Coding pains

    A pretty general topic, but does anyone else get that weird sensation thing while coding for a long time?  It's not exactly a headache, it's more like a "feel-bad" sensation in your head; not unlike when struggling on a really difficult math problem.

    What did you use to build your project?

    I've been using Mysidia Adoptables to build both of my sites. It saves me a ton of work that I otherwise would have spent months on, and it's relatively easy for me to expand on.

    Preferred Programming IDE/Editor

    For private, online projects I use cPanel's built in legacy code editor (Not the new AceEditor, can't work with such thin wordwrapping margins omg). When locally developing I use Notepad++, it supports a ton of languages with syntax highlighting and it does what it should without being clunky. I...

    Most recent topics

    The section for the most recent topics seem to have disappeared from the index since the update. There's "Join the discussion", but it shows topics from last month or before. There's a most recent section on the home page, but there isn't a way to get there from what I can see besides typing...

    ChoiceScript

    I've never even heard of it, but I'll probably give it a try today! EDIT: Trying it out now, and it has great potential so far! It does seem easier to integrate too. It took some time, but I managed to separate the jumbled mess css and javascript code that was sandwiched in with the html so I...

    How do you name things for games?

    Actually, you just described exactly how it goes (for me at least). For foodbabs, most of the pet names are very obvious puns. A ragamuffin is a muffin-cat mix for example, but ragamuffin is also the name of an actual cat breed. Names and stuff for wild souls were made off the top of my head...
