The beta has been online for nearly a month now and a lot of changes have been made already to increase the games experience! For this round a lot of values have been updated again. The changes are mainly devoted towards the cooking mechanics:

• Recipe Book: There is now a recipe book in the game! It will collect all recipes that you successfully followed. The recipe book can be found under Game -> Cooking -> Recipe Book. A list of all recipes in the game can be found here.


• Cooking Improvements: The three main cooking types Brewing, Baking and Refining are now visually distincted with colors to avoid confusion. The recipes are also organized in recipe groups now (Stew, Powder etc.).


• Evobar Requirements: On the pixpet haord page, it is now displayed which evobar is needed to evolve a pixpet. The minimum grade required is also displayed.


• Pumpkin Growth: The pumpkin growth interval has been reduced from 6 hours to 4 hours. Watering intervals stay the same. This will only affect newly planted pumpkins.


• Plant Growth: The plant growth interval has been halfed for every potted plant!. Watering intervals stay the same. This will only affect newly planted plants.


• Rarity Adjustment: The rarity for Seeds, Fertilizers, Special Ingredients and Potion/Evobar Ingredients has been adjusted to match the demand better.


• Hoard Adjustment: The base probability to find items and pixcoins on hoards has been increased. The chance for higher pixcoin findings (especially on higher pet levels) has been tripled.


• Plant Pot Limit: The limit on how many plant pots can be placed has been increased by +1 for every type of house. The chance to find plant pots on hoards has been increased likewise.


• House Prices: The house base prices have been cut in half or decreased drastically for all house types.

Bugfixes:

• Share Links: A bug with broken egg share links has been fixed with eggs obtained from the market. Share links for new market eggs will work now.


• Pumpkin Display: A bug with displaying pumpkins on multiple garden slots on the house grid has been fixed.

I hope to increase the games experience with those changes!
Planned/Upcoming Features:

Egg Hatch Helper: Public visitors can help placed eggs hatch faster.
Grade Averager: To match requirements for cooking better, a grade averager will be implemented to average out item grades. (Example: Create 2 grade 50 items out of one grade 0 and one grade 100 item of the same kind)

Have fun playing and thank you for the supports/bug reports!

The site wide code overhaul that took over a week is now finally complete and I have been working on improving/changing current features already:

• Share Links: Share links are the images automatically generated for every pixpet which can be found on their hoarding page. Share images are now generated for eggs too! Also the sharing section has been visually improved. The tiny icon sharing image now changes too when your pixpet hatches or evolves. This change has been done so that pixpets can now be advertised before they hatch.


• Full Pixpet Display: On userpages, the full information for each pixpet is now visible as well as their big sprite. This is a preparation for an upcoming feature where visitors can help eggs hatch faster!


• Badge Display: The display for badges has been improved.


• Pixdex Ranking: This is a new page where the players with the fullest pixdex are displayed. It can be found under Game -> Pixpets -> Pixdex Ranking. Playes are ranked after how full their pixdex is (primay), how many pixpets they have in total (secondary), and how many items they have in total (tertiary).

There have been many bugfixes all around the site, for example an important bugfix to the cooking feature. The brewing/baking and refining features will now receive special attention:

Upcoming Feature: Recipe Book! This will be an overview of all recipes that you successfully followed so far. Recipes for evobars will also finally be revealed, so that you can start evolving your pixpets!

Upcoming Feature: Egg hatching helper! Visitors on your public userpage will be able to help your placed pixpet eggs hatch faster.

Upcoming Changes: There will be a second game balancing round where a lot of parameters will be adjusted. Most importantly a huge reduction of the house prices. Also the chance to find seeds and potion/evobar ingredients on hoards will be increased.
