Hi Friends,

It's that time of month again.

We'll start this post off with announcing the contest winners as the votes from the staff are in! Thank you for taking part and we hope to see you again when we launch the contests again in March!

It was a close decision between some of the entries, you certainly did not make it easy.


These little guys are ready to go to their new homes. (pardon the lighting)

Winners for the Create a Pixpet contest:
First - @MaudFS's Duskub variant
Second - @NerysRhys' Rainbow Dolphin
Third - @ShinySaturn's Cabybara


It was a tough choice between the pixpet designs. However, we loved the idea of a possible variant for unicubb and its evolution line and will work on getting it ready to be a pixpet soon.

Winners for the Create a Pixpal contest:
First - @Tyree's Barbary Lamb | @pio's Crumblet
Second - @Overcast's Talotl
Third - @Dragonick's Snek


The pixpal designs were adorable, but ultimately Tyree's Barbary Lamb along with pio's Crumblet were the hot favorites out of the oven. We will work on adding it to the pixpal lineup for when we launch it. Due to an error, there will be 2 winners for this one. In future however we will ensure that you cannot win twice in the same 'round of contests' so that more players can be awarded the physical prize. We apologize for the mix up.

Winners for the Create an Adventure quest contest:
First - @Tyree's Marsh Lights (Edit: Sorry for mixing up the names X_X)
Second - @ShadowWolf's Treasure Hunt
Third - @KingSpinosaurus' Education Quest


We loved the creativity you guys put into these quests. Tyree's Marsh Lights however stole the show with it's eerie twilight zone feel and we have a feeling you all will love it!

Prizes & Badges have been issued onsite. Winners have been contacted about their patches and shipping will be arranged once all winners have gotten back to us.

A small token of appreciation has also been issued to participants who did not win. Thank you for taking part.

~~~




A new friend joins the pixpet crew today, meet the Cappukin! Good luck on finding our new little friend. (Vivid Cappukin will join the crew in early March while we are working on Adventure updates.)


~~~






You were aware that we were working on Duel in the Desert, but we figured, why not two games?
We will be adding them to the live server soon. (We're preparing for some tweaks to the arcade system so apologies that there is a slight delay on the minigame releases, the games will be released very, very soon. We just did not want to delay this post as we wanted to inform the contest winners of who won.)

~~~


This is going to come out of the blue but... here's a look at the upcoming revamped housing decorator (complete with Drag & Drop functions for both PC & Mobile.) Due to the Pixpals being a new 'item type', we figured we should get this up and running first instead, so that we don't need to backtrack and alter the pixpal system.

Currently the system is working and undergoing QA testing and bug fixing so we are hoping to launch this as soon as we are able so that the Pixpals can follow suit.

We are aware of inventory issues and concerns and are also planning on adjusting the system with care so that we don't strain the system.



Mobile Preview


PC Preview



Currently, the pixpal line up is about 40 odd pals or so(inclusive of color variants) and counting. Due to the extra time we've been using to revamp the housing system, we've been able to get more done. We plan to launch them after the new decorator is implemented.

As mentioned prior, we will be implementing new quests to the Adventure mode in Early-Mid March. (Inclusive of evo item for Vivid Dracoforge, contest winner and some continuation to the Main Story amongst them.)

We apologize for the delay on the Pixpal & Minigame launch and ask for your patience. We want to make sure they have smooth launches that don't cause problems for other areas of the site and are thus taking the long way around.

Thank you very much for your continued support of Pixpet.

~The Pixpet Team

Congrats to all the winners! I had a feeling those ideas would get attention because they are really good and creative. Also can't wait to see the new quest, I love twilight zone eerie atmosphere

Oh, is the new one based on Cappuccin monkeys? I didn't expect a monkey based Pixpet, they tend to be a rare specie in adoptable games in my experience.

Really excited for these minigames, the art is so pretty and I have a feeling they'll be easier to play casually, for example while watching TV.

Is the house decorator meant to replace the current way we place items in our house or is it like an extra where we can decide where in the chosen square the item will stay in?

:X I was really obvious with the Cappu part huh. XD.
I think its mostly cause in general, they're hard to make look cute lol, but I'm very satisfied with how the Cuppukin turned out. (^5 @Lorienee)

Regarding Minigames, yeah that is the intention, I hope to bring more to the site just so we have a variety for different kinds of players.

Regarding Housing, it is meant to enhance and does not replace the current system. So players comfortable with the current system will be able to use it. Those who wish to use the drag and drop, will be able to use it.

Congrats to all the winners! I'm deeply flattered I managed to place with my little gumby looking dudes, I thought they might be too niche |D. It was so cool seeing what everyone else came up with, I'm looking forward to doodling some more things in the future with y'all \o/

Y'all are just rolling along with all the cool updates holy smokes, we're gonna get another game this fast? And the house decorator gets to be drag and drop??? Don't apologise for delays, jeez, this is a ton of work and it'll be worth the wait to take the time to have things finished and ready!

ALSO. MONKEY!!! I'm stoked to get one :D

@Cherche
I am so happy with the results and I have one thing I need to add: you confused my first name in the writing entry for my username. I clarified in the email:

"Hi Cherche (or whoever receives these emails),

The quest I wrote is attached. Please let me know what you think, or if you need me to send it in plain text in the body of the email.

Cherche made an edit to this post : removed player's name for privacy.
pixpet username: Tyree"

...please check for yourself since saying so here isn't likely proof enough. I think it's cool somebody here has my first name as a username, but I would still like credit for my own work, and whoever they are they'll likely be pretty baffled.

But wow! This is exciting!

Cherche is sleeping at the moment, but I've DMed her about this so hopefully it'll be one of the first things she sees. Apologies for the mixup, and huge congrats on placing first in two contests! Your entries were really creative!

Thank you! It's exciting. I'm sure the mixup will get cleared up easily enough, so I'm not too worried about it. It was fun to work on the entries.

The Barbary Lamb, also known as the vegetable lamb of Tartary, is a mythical creature that I've been fond of since I read about it a long while ago. Other names: Scythian Lamb, and Borametz

I included those in case one of those proves more appealing as a name for the pixpal.

ONE THOUSAND APOLOGIES

@Tyree AIYAH. I am terribly sorry for the mix up in names. Altered X_X

@pio Your design is now sharing 1st place.
@Overcast Your design has been bumped up to 2nd place to reflect the mix-up.
@Dragonick Your design has been bumped up to 3rd place to reflect the mix-up.

In future, we will ensure the same that people are unlikely to win in **all** contests just so that other players have a shot at a patch.

Might be a good idea to prevent that by making it so somebody can only enter one contest at a time. Thank you for fixing the name mixup!

Hehe, we won't stop people from creativity, plus it gives them more chances at winning ;)
We will just have to make sure Cherche doesn't type more sleepbrain essay news posts and hitting the submit button.

Top post has been edited to reflect reveal of the Cuppukin since one has been found by players already & prizes have been handed out.

Housing Decorator for the general public? Playing Pixpet was becoming stressful with how painful for my hangs was decorating the house using the drop down menus, that coupled with my perfectionism and inability to decorate my rooms into something I would love made me leave Pixpet. I might become active again once the decorator releases.
