Do note that things like concepts and other behind the scenes development will appear on PixPet Patreon from now on, take this one as a freebie on the kind of content we're looking to provide there. ;) To take part in the contests, please head on over to the new contest section within the forum. Other than that... happy hunting! Edit : Text Blurb at the bottom for those who just want to read. We’d like to start off this post by introducing the Pixpals! Think of them as tiny friends for your Pixpets. Those odd stones the research team found in the mines contained some pretty strong magical energy stored within. We’re in the process of learning how to help these little critters materialize from the stones. One of our our code monkey’s is hard at work, toiling away to create and implement the Pixpal Dex so that they’ll be able to meet you soon. (We figure we’ll give you completionists a run for your money trying to discover all of them, so until you discover a pixpal and its corresponding colour, it will not appear in your dex.) As mentioned prior, these little guys will follow the one pixpet that they’re paired with. We are working to setup a system for you to meet, interact and play with them in user profiles. At this point in time, we are hoping to unleash the Pixpals sometime in the middle of Febuary. (if we are able to release them earlier, we will do so, but for now we’re looking at a mid Feb release barring no hiccups.) This is ‘Duel in the Desert’, currently we’re in the process of pixelizing the artwork required for the game before passing them to code monkey. For this, we are looking at a mid to late Feb release give or take. You might remember a shadow, long lost to time. But no longer, as you will find the little tyke starting on hoards today. (We’re gonna go ahead and remove the pixpet goal thing on Patreon in favor of other perks. However, more on that at a later date.) Last for today’s announcement, but certainly not least, we will hereby be launching MONTHLY CONTESTS. (Or at least, that’s the plan depending on how these go.) One of you eagle-eyed readers was right and we are indeed working with a plushie maker to create some limited patches for the contests. It is a pity we cannot go with plushies at this time due to cost and shipping constraints due to covid-19. It’s something we’d love to do in the future. We have chosen to go with Drax for the first patch, it being the first pixpet in the dex. ;) The brown blue patch you saw, was a fake out (or was it?) It’s been an interesting process to say the least with picking out the right cloth, fabrics and thread to work with. There are THREE contests for a total of 9 winners. The THEMES are as follows (further submission details in respective contest threads.): DESIGN A PIXPET DESIGN A PIXPAL CREATE AN ADVENTURE QUEST Winner : Patch + 150 PPT + 15,000 PC (value $30) Runner Up : Patch + 70 PPT + 5,000 PC (value $20) 3rd Place: Patch + 30 PPT + 2,500PC (value $15) For ART entries, please post your entries in the respective thread within the forum. For WRITING entries, please submit your entry to the email provided in the respective thread. Entries submitted to the wrong place will not be valid. Late entries wil not be entertained. Contests submission ends 18th Febuary, 2022. 11:59 PM, EST. (UTC-5) For discussion about the contests, you may also find threads to talk about them within the forum. Ps. if there is interest in more patches/other merch feel free to reach out to us, if there is enough interest then we can look into actual merchandising. |

First of all I'm PUMPED for pixpals, I love to collect things and they are SO cute. Along with being interact-able (SWEET), do we know if they'll give buffs for adventures or hoards, or will they be purely decorative? Either way, having some more things to add to pixpet profiles will be awesome, I'm all for more customisation and making things more personal (which reminds me I still need to draw something for my mobaths profile boxes... all 16 of them lol). I'm also appreciating the added challenge for collecting them, I flew through finishing the vivid dex so fast and I kind of regret not taking my time to smell the roses a bit more haha This new game has me thinking it might be a rhythm game?? I hope that's the case! I'm also overjoyed to see the little brontosaurus buddy got added to the game after all, I hope they'll get evolutions in the future too! Lastly, MONTHLY contests with physical prizes each time?? I hope this doesnt come off as anything other than sincere; I used to work on another pet site, a couple years back, and from that I learned it's really important not to take too much on all at once. So while I can't speak for every user, nor do I ever want to sound like I'm trying to, I just hope the team knows that fun things are worth the wait. And if anything feels overwhelming and needs to be shelved for a while, or winds up taking longer than anticipated, just look at the response to when adventure was in development! Lots of people were echoing the same sentiment that they're willing to wait, as long as communication stays open and they know where everyone's at. I know personally, I love to just check in and hear how the people running the place are doing Anyways TL;DR: I'm stoked for all the new things we're getting, hope the staff are doing well and remember to take breaks! |

For the moment the pixpals have no involvement with adventure in its current state (though I'm not discrediting their appearance in newer quests). It's okay, you can smell the roses abit after I finish editing the current batch of quests and implementing them. Currently, pixpals are planned for decorative/site mechanics (beginning with interaction as mentioned prior). Not a bad idea for buffs though down the line, probably something we can revisit after current plans for the next few months have been executed. Thank you for the suggestion. Regarding contests, for now, the current plan is monthly(at the end of the day, this being the 'trial run', if we need to step back and turn it into bi-monthly or delay, we will certainly do so. Had to leap off the deep end to trial user interest and such first hehe.) Thank you kindly for the concern. <3 Regarding your last point. Huh, everyone keeps saying cherche go sleep, what's that? --- Thank you everyone for the interest and continued support of the site, we're working hard to bring the planned content to you as soon as we are able :3 |
