More customization is always a good idea, especially for pets since they're the central part of the game. So I fully support this. I also like your ideas for the various types of edits and restrictions.

The only thing I'm on the fence about is who should be able to make accessories. I definitely understand the need to have the art style match, and the site would suddenly become a weird-looking place if players could submit their own designs. At the same time, for accessories I'd like to have a bit more freedom, and not have to wait in a queue for weeks for something I can draw in half an hour.

My hope for an accessory system would incorporate both options; i.e. players could choose to submit their own designs (with a major restriction, which I'll explain) or commission a site artist with PPT.

The way that I think player-submitted acessories could work without too much clashing with the official art is to simply make those accessories account-bound. In other words, player-submitted accessories would be untradeable and unsellable, to prevent widespread style clash. This option would cost PC. And of course, ideally there'd be an approval system similar to the gallery for filtering out rulebreaking designs or stuff that's not sized/placed correctly.

But if a player wanted to make an accessory that could be traded and/or found on hoards (or they'd prefer it to be made by someone else regardless) they would have to commission a site artist with PPT. And yeah, I feel it should be up to the player whether the accessory will be one of a kind, a few copies, or available to everyone. Part of what makes customization fun is being able to have something unique.

Those're my thoughts :B


Oh, yeah, good points. I honestly got nothing against user-made accessories, trade-able or not, but the reason it works well on other petsites is because they're not restricted to pixels only, welcoming a larger variety of artstyles and skill levels. So I was pretty much just weighing pros and cons of an user-submission system that's a bit less artist friendly than what you normally see but ultimately it still wouldn't be a bad idea imo if Komodo was actually ok with it. Plus users could commission artists with pixcoin to make accessories for them and stuff.

there's also the option of allowing user-made accessories to be non-pixel but I feel like it'd maybe clash too much with the aesthetic. I wish I could say with better certainty what Komodo's style limits are but so far, everything is very strictly pixel-oriented, to the point where the arcade artwork feels very out of place lol.
