@Cherche ok so i have a few questions (hope u dont mind that i pinged u /w\)

question 1- for the pixpet contest is it a multi-stage line or a single evo? (most of my ideas are multi lol)
question 2- for the pixpet contest are we allowed to propose new gamemacnics? ie a gender split or an egg that can hatch different versions of the same pet, spical evo requirements (one of my favorite concepts has a split evo depending on whether or not its inside or out as it evos, or another cool one that requires two of the same pet) and so on and so forth (this is obvs irrelevant if the contest is a one stage pixpet lol)
question 3- do we design the pixpets egg
question 4- so the pixpals have a 3 color variations right? is it just that their stats id is different or will there be a visual cue as well?
question 5- do we design the pixpals origin rock?
question 6- how many tabs/stages/sections(idk what to call them srry) are we meant to make the adventure advent?
question 7- are we allowed to have battles initiated in the advent?
question 8- if submitted once can we resubmit a prier entry for the next contest of the same catorgory?

srry for the info flood im just hype as hecc man :0ccc

edit- forgot the most important question hecc man
question 10- i cant post/see images on forums due to complicated school browser blocking/firewall issues, is there an alternative way to submit my entries? (also due to the aforementioned issue i can't see the format for the adventure advent could you maby give me a brief rundown on what it says?)

@pio

We are technically looking at single, however a multi as a whole package is indeed not a bad idea at all if we think it suits the site. Idea is to have fun and express your idea, so if your idea is a baby to adult, I ain't stopping you :D


question 2- for the pixpet contest are we allowed to propose new gamemacnics? ie a gender split or an egg that can hatch different versions of the same pet, spical evo requirements (one of my favorite concepts has a split evo depending on whether or not its inside or out as it evos, or another cool one that requires two of the same pet) and so on and so forth (this is obvs irrelevant if the contest is a one stage pixpet lol)

It is possible. But likely will be classified as two seperate entities in pixdex kind of like a variant if it comes down to that.

question 3- do we design the pixpets egg

Not necessary but you are welcome to do so.

question 4- so the pixpals have a 3 color variations right? is it just that their stats id is different or will there be a visual cue as well?

I was wondering when someone would notice the fine print on this one haha. Visual cues, I confess I left in the ? ? in the announcement post image on purpose. Unlike pixpets being an established feature, We have the opportunity to release pixpals with unique images/looks to the same species and we took it.

question 5- do we design the pixpals origin rock?

Not necessary, but again, if it's part of your idea as a whole, feel free to.

question 6- how many tabs/stages/sections(idk what to call them srry) are we meant to make the adventure advent?

No limit. Can be long, can be short, what we're looking at is for something fun suits the world and lore that players can enjoy playing through.

question 7- are we allowed to have battles initiated in the advent?

Yep, you're free to be creative in that area.

question 8- are we allowed to give rewards for the advent?

Yup, you're free to suggest an item reward. However should the quest win, it's one of those, we may or may not give out said item if its something that will unbalance the game and may replace it with something else.

question 9- if submitted once can we resubmit a prier entry for the next contest of the same catorgory?

You mean like when we host Feb's contest and you want to reuse a submission? It's not guaranteed to win if we think it doesn't suit the first time around its unlikely to change opinion the 2nd time around. But For now there is no rule against it.


I hope this clears up any confusion you might have had :)

I'm really glad that you guys are showing interest in the contests :) I hope you guys have a ton of fun with them! Some pretty interesting ideas so far, I feel like we're gonna have a headache picking when we get to the end haha.

This is the right question >:3c

If you can post a link to the image, that works too. Of course, if your school's firewall also blocks sites where you can upload images (like imgur, google drive, deviantart sta.sh) then that makes it tricky. If that's the case, then you can just describe your entry as best you can.

Edit: Oops, forgot to answer your second question. Here's the quest template that Cherche posted, in text form:

(Vivid) Fluffpaxa: False Love Scroll
Area: Pixpet City | Conditions: Morning
Pixpet Required: Fluffpaxa | NPCs involved: Romeo (CUSTOM NPC: Fluffpaxa with a necktie), Juliet (CUSTOM NPC: Fluffpaxa with a ribbon)

It is a bright morning in Pixpet City. A perfect day to lounge around away from your usual hectic protagonist lifestyle. You are enjoying some fine tea at the cafe close by, sipping it leisurely as you idly watch the other passersby go about their day.

You spot an unusually nervous looking Fluffpaxa seated across you seemingly gazing wistfully in the distance. You turn your head towards the same direction, spotting another Fluffpaxa near the central fountain. The other Fluffpaxa is beautiful, with a ribbon adorned neatly to her fur. She sits at the side of the fountain looking daintily at the rippling waters.

"Oh Juliet, how gorgeous thou may be!"

The male Fluffpaxa comments out loud dramatically, nervously clapping his hooves together. You cannot help but feel nosey about the situation once again.

[Girl problems?] (+10 mins) | [That's embarrassing... ] (+10 mins)

> That's embarrassing... ] (+10 mins)


"Embarrassing? Oh, sweet young one, thou have no taste in beauty at all. Thine eye is not as perfect as the great Romeo himself."

i have a little question here. Is it possible for the winners to reject receiving the patches? If yes, can they choose any decoration or rare item instead of the patches?

Dont get me wrong, I would love to have some pixpet official merch someday, but in case of being one of the winners, i just don't feel very safe righ now to share my home address. I also live in a very isolated place and I'm afraid of shipping and cost issues.

I believe other players may have the same problem.

Totally understandable. Yes, rejecting them would be possible. As for an alternate prize and choosing, I believe we can discuss a suitable prize with the winner/s that decide they would not like a patch. :)

Best of luck with the contest!

Hi!
I've got some submissions for the PixPet and PixPal contests, but I have no idea how to add images to my posts.
When I click the image icon, it just adds a few HTML tags to my post, and I don't know how exactly I use those to upload the images.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this

@Dragonick
To further iterate on what Pudding has mentioned,
You can upload your images to free sites like imgbb.com/ from there you'll be given a link in which will have several but the one you'll want will look like

Silly question, probably, (old lady who doesn't use forums much ^_^;) but I just found out that stash on dA doesn't work for hosting images for forum use, and I'm a little leery about using other image hosting sites. If I were to post the artwork for my pixpet design entry in my gallery on this site, would that work? Or is it okay if I just link to the stash post?

Edit: I feel I should clarify that I mean is it possible to use the on site gallery as a place to host an image for on site forum use?

What is the definition of a “Decorative Item Set”? Is it items with a particular theme or they would have to be in 16 colours or made of the same material (like wooden)?

Looking more at items in a theme, or made of material, however not ruling out 16 colours if it really stands out and the judges end up loving it. :)

I'll alter the main contest post to reflect this.

Hi! I’m back with more questions.
In the thread it says
“Please note that while you can participate in both contests, you will not win twice so as to give other players a chance at obtaining a patch as well.”
Does winning mean 1st place or 1-3rd place? I’m assuming it’s the latter because 1-3rd place all will receive patches.

I’m not exactly sure what happened last contest period, but I assumed the error was because someone won twice and people thought it wasn’t fair? In my opinion though, I think it’s more unfair that someone isn’t able to win twice. Let’s say we submitted for 2 contests, and both of them were loved by the judges. But because the person can only win once, the judges can only the one they like the most out of the 2. The other idea (the idea less liked in comparison) would be forced to not be included in the top 3 for another contest, even though it was really good. There’s no rules against resubmitting, but it’s highly discouraged. So, the person would’ve assumed that their other idea would be bad and never resubmit it, even though the judges thought it was good. As long there’s some sort of restriction with winning (either 1st place or 1st-3rd place), this would still be a problem. If it’s only 1st place then the problem would be less but still restricting us. The judging is based off our ideas, why should it be restricted like this?

And what if the person who won doesn’t want a patch? The extra patch could be raffled off to the others through discord or something, I just think that the reason why we can’t win twice is weird.

Also, another problem, badges. From patreon we could see that there’s 4 badges, and they come in 3 different colours, gold, silver and bronze according to the place you got in the contest. Considering that you can’t score top 3 in more than one contest in one contest period, it would take I think at least 1 year to get all the badges, not to mention that you have score 3rd, 2nd and 1st once exactly each time. Wouldn’t that be unnecessary long and hard? I think it could be counted as an event badge, and be like you scored 1st in a contest (any)! 2nd in a contest (any)! 3rd in a contest (any)!

Sorry taking awhile to respond to this, I want to make sure this is thoroughly discussed within the staff.

Currently 1-3rd are awarded bronze-gold respectively. We will think on this 'event badge' pitch that you have suggested as currently they have been implemented to the system separately. Regarding the winning & obtaining badge concern, in the event that judges cannot decide between 2 winners and one of them just happens to win another contest during that round of contests (in this case both decorative contests for example), we are not opposed to 2 and can grant the badge in that scenario to both(the person who has won 2 thus receiving badge while getting the honourable mention in respective rank) while each winner receives 1 patch. We feel that this will give participants a fair shot at patches, while at the same time spreading the prizes out amongst the players while also catering to badge collector concerns.

Since we're being totally transparent here, with regards to whether we felt a design is suitable for the site or not, resubmitting issues, we had reached out to winners the last round for their permission to use their design on the site in upcoming content as we felt that while rank 1 winners had amazing ideas, so did some others. So in the event we feel that something benefits the site, we will not hesitate to reach out :) The restrictions in place are really just to give all users a shot at prizes, rather than a monopoly.

Hope this addresses your questions and concerns thoughtfully.
