Catisserie!

[Abronsyth]

Unfortunately closed due to personal health and time issues.

[Nieth]

This is a cute idea. We have a similar idea we are working on, but we're using a different animal. ^^

I really like the floofy kitty art, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside and the detail put into the items is pretty nice. Its refreshing to see diverse items that actually impact the pets, lots of sites like Neopets and just just use the same item with different color pallets. I can understand doing that for background items or something that isn't used for the pets themselves but I love the progression here!

Cats like mice -> Treats are tastier -> fish flavored is even tastier -> An actual fish is even better!

I love it when I see people putting in the extra effort. ;-;

I also suppose that you've studied french or have a slight frenchie obsession like I do? xD

[Abronsyth]

Great minds think alike, haha!

I'm glad you like it, as always it took me ages to settle on artwork I actually like! I had to teach myself how to draw cats more accurately, but I think it paid off! The food items each have a chance of giving a cat more clicks (the mouse gives 2, treats 3, kibble 5) and the fish are used to alter pets (switch gender, change to alternate outcome, etc)! I'll also be adding canned foods and raw food options (raw being the best!..aside from that mouse)!

And yes, haha, I studied French for a while...and one night I was thinking about cats (don't ask it's a common thing for me) and figured I'd like to make a little cat site, and for some reason the first word to pop into my head was pâtisserie (a french bakery specializing in pastries/etc) so for some reason I decided that'd make a good website name XD

I appreciate the kind words! It means a lot :)

[Nieth]

Yeah, I knew exactly what the name was based on, that's why I mentioned it. x]
I'm glad that you've finally settled down on something, I've seen you around quite a bit on here but you were always bouncing around between species!

[Abronsyth]

Haha, yes, I'm rather infamous for having difficulty settling on things, haha!

Cats are good though, they have many varieties, are very amusing, easy to draw, and many folks like them...so now to just continue on art and hopefully get the mods working right XD

[Nieth]

I wish you luck, we are also trying to get our site up and presentable to the public.

[Abronsyth]

Introducing the most common breed of cat...the moggie! Upon opening this will be the only breed available for free, other breeds (such as the oriental and NFC) will have to be purchased through shops!

[Abronsyth]

Introducing one of my favorites! The Japanese bobtail!

And her majesty- the persian!

[Abronsyth]

And another personal favorite, the American Curl!

[Abronsyth]

Here is the very small and lovely munchkin!

Next I plan on adding the levkoy (my favorite breed of cat)!

If anyone has suggestions for breeds I am very open to them! I'd like to open with 10 breeds completed (so far I have 7).

[Hall of Famer]

Oh it looks really nice, your art is amazing as usual. And Levkoy is a cat from Russia isnt it?

[Abronsyth]

Thank you <3 Ukraine, but close! They're rather unbecoming things without fur and folded ears, but I love them, haha.

[Hall of Famer]

I see, Ukraine. That's very interesting, I think my russian girlfriend may know something about the cat species since Russia is close to Ukraine, maybe I will ask her something about it.

[Abronsyth]

My ultimate favorite cat breed- the Ukrainian Levkoy!

Now I'll just add the Cymric and Scottish Fold, and then make sure there are at least 2 different cats in every shop (18 total purchasable), 5 in the free shop, and then I'll get 1 riddle up before we're ready to open for Beta!

[Abronsyth]

Two updates!
First- the Scottish fold!
http://i.imgur.com/7Ger1xt.png

Second- I've added an explore feature! It's very small right now, but all events are illustrated to some extent. There's only 1 are at the moment, and only 1 item and 1 kitten to be found, but there will be more!

[Abronsyth]

Here is the last official cat breed, the cymric!

[Hall of Famer]

Oh brilliant, its so nice to look at arts from Mysidia users, always makes my day delightful to see such awesome work. Good luck Pero, hope to see more in future.

[Abronsyth]

Thank you, HoF! We're nearly ready to open, I just need 10 more designs and I'll open for Beta testing...which will make this the 3rd site to open to the public out of the many potential sites I've created in my time.

http://i.imgur.com/wbMhbFx.png
T'is the season!

[Abronsyth]

Catisserie is now open for public beta testing!

[SapphirePhoenix]

Yay! Finally!

[Abronsyth]

Though it has only been opened around 3 days, Catisserie has over 50 wonderful members, and over 600 cats have been adopted! A new explore area has been opened, and I've added Leopards and feathered "Fleets" as well!

Coming up in the future:
-Alchemy
-Quests
-More Exploring and more cats!

[Abronsyth]

A new variety of Fantasy cat has been released!

Meet the lovely Druid!

I have also started accepting orders for customs (here are some examples), and Catisserie has already raised quite a bit of money, all of which will be put towards hiring a programmer to create new features.
http://catisserie.mysidiahost.com/picuploads/png/72fe10c9c60f47bbea78a549936b5ecc.png

Over 6,000 cats adopted, and over 170 players!

[Kyttias]

[Abronsyth]

Thank you <3 And I plan on adding servals this weekend, actually!

[Abronsyth]

[Kyttias]

Oooo they look lovely! :ohnoes:

[Hwona]

These are nice! I'm really loving the tiger! :D

[Abronsyth]

Catisserie is now hosted on a new host, which gives us more room to grow!

We also now have our own domain name, at Catisserie.net!

[tahbikat]

I love seeing how your site is progressing so much, Abron. <3
I've definitely been lurking and trying to catch any special cats that are released (love my 2016 one). xP

[Kyttias]

I know one of the requirements for Google's AdSense program is to have your own domain - now that you've got one, you should set up something! :meow:

[Abronsyth]

Just a little preview of the new explore art...I k now I'm not good at this kind of art XD

Thank you Pachoo ;3;

The domestic cats are getting a major art revamp!

Old American Curl vs New:
http://catisserie.mysidiahost.com/picuploads/png/e3ff32d6d00475dbac571ea711c81603.png vs http://catisserie.net/picuploads/png/d0c86650d6caf28ddd3e8debb67b112f.png

All adult domestic cats are getting their own unique lineart!

We also have a new species specifically for riddles- the Cheshire cat breed!
http://catisserie.net/picuploads/png/130006d6ec5f9f1a02f1f9dbec51c42c.png

Plus some new cat species on the way!

I am hoping that the site can be publicly opened around June of 2017. Things I need done before then include...
> Fixing the obnoxious logging in bugs
> Revamping the trade system (basically making a new one)
> Auction/Buying System for cats and items
> Name randomizer
> Cat Battles
>> Cat stats
>> Cat training
> Dress-Up (add items to cats and layer those items, then save and display that image elsewhere)
> Many more illustrations!
> Complete explore system
> Rehaul login and forgot password system (since they're super glitchy)

[Bexasaurus]

I'm glad to see that the site is still coming back! Sooner than I thought it would too. C:
Also, good luck on the revamp and I look forward to Catisserie's reopening! :smile:
