    RPG-esque online game [dev ramblings]

    A lot of posts overnight o.o I'll try to get to them. Monitoring might be better in this case, since I remember having this problem once when my sister used to play pet/sim games; especially if there was only 1 computer in the house.  I can see the divide there too. Getting people to work...

    Life and death in virtual pet sites?

    I actually don't mind either. From a developer POV, death (a.k.a flavor-text deleting) is a good way to keep the DB from clogging and slowing things down. I also feel like it gives users a reason to return more often.

    RPG-esque online game [dev ramblings]

    I realize, but there will be measure to prevent this; like preventing the creation of more than one account with the same IP.

    ChoiceScript

    Anyone else here heard of ChoiceScript? It's basically used to make "choose your own adventure" type games, and it's beginner-friendly too. I've played around with it in the past, but never felt like making a full interactive story with it. It can have some cool uses on VPS sites though. Maybe...

    RPG-esque online game [dev ramblings]

    You play as only one wolf at a time. When you die you lose any relationships and milestones you had, but your stats and SP-bought markings/colors carry over. If you happen to die and not have any points (or not enough points for other modes), then you have to start as a pup (easy mode) again...

    What things scare you the most about developing your game projects?

    One of my fears is never getting to the final stage, but another one would be css themes. I like to try them out, but at the same time, converting them is an absolute nightmare. The newest css theme on Foodbabs I don't even touch anymore because, whatever the reason may be, that theme in...

    RPG-esque online game [dev ramblings]

    Feedback: Additions to Game List

    I have another one o3o What about a simulation section? We have a pet sim section, but I mean a section where you are the animal/creature instead of taking care of it? Lioden for example wouldn't really fit into a "pet" section. This might not work at the moment though, since the niche is so small.

    Suggestion Boxes!

    First off, I got Imagick running on my server again! Now I can continue working on Wild Souls without having to look at an ugly "can't read file" error. Second, I've started some minor renovations so things are more eye-catching, that includes starting to fill in the index page: Now onto the...

    Feedback: Additions to Game List

    I've been thinking this for a while, but maybe you could make it so you can only post news for games you submitted to the directory? So when you type into the "game" field, only games submitted by you should appear. This is mostly because I freak out about accidentally posting news to Wild Howlz...

    Building a Team

    I actually work alone for the most part; I just started getting volunteers when I made a post about it a little while ago. I've been working on Foodbabs for 2 years (3 once October finishes out), so how early you build a team depends one your needs and personal abilities. I would say to always...

    Halloween hybrids are here!

    These are the 4 special hybrids available through breeding during the month of October. Once October has passed, you won't be able to breed for them again without a special item. Don't fret though, next weekend we have another update coming your way! Users will be able to try their luck (at the...

    Version Control with Git

    Is it possible to make a tutorial on version control with other free Git software? SmartGit is only free for non-commercial use, and you would have to buy a license to use it if your site ever makes any kind of profit (to avoid termination).

    Special Halloween hybrids and new profile page

    It was hinted at in a previous news post, but there are some very special hybrids coming this month! These hybrids will be obtained only by crossing outside of the same breeding class. For the month of October, they will be freely available through breeding. They will be rare, and you'll most...

    Battle System ramblings

    Nothing solid here, just ideas! So I'm thinking about eventually spending time to make a simple battle system with javascript (or HTML5 idk) Exploring would trigger these encounters, and it will move to the battle screen with music and other sounds; kind of like this little mockup I made: I...

    Exploring: Random or Directional?

    I'm about to start working on the explore feature for Wild Souls, and I wanted it to be where the user can discover new areas. There would be an image map where the places you haven't been to are greyed out and marked with "???", and you can't fast-travel to them until you discover it. The...
