Oh nice, this site is getting better and better with time, awesome work Miss Ruinily.

I know I've been quiet for a long time here now, but I've been so busy with the site, life and some drama I havent had time for much else... But hopefully I'll be done soon with uploading all the old stuff and I'll be able to get on with the new ideas! I owe a lot of credit in the new opening to Hall of Famer, Abronsyth, and Isura for their greatly appreciated help in finding a site and getting through the many glitches and troubles. ^_^ Though theres still a few mostly cosmetic problems if theres any good coders out there who can help... I'll probably post up a help thread for anyone interested. :) Anyway the site is open now, though not everythings back up yet (mainly the map since thats a huge project) and I'm praying no big errors come up... Anyone that joins should check the message board and maybe the guides (pet site and forum) to check out how everything works now. If anyone has has any suggestions or problems feel free to tell me! I'm always looking to improve, though I'm still struggling with this new coding I will try my best. ^_^ So...

Okay, the maps finally back up! That was trickier than I thought... I had to rework some of the mechcanics due to the new coding system, but I hope its worked out alright. ^_^ Theres also little bits of new art hidden away, feel free to test everything out! I need to know if theres any dead links I missed. The only thing I couldnt figure out was the lottery system, but I'll work on that later. Now I'm going to work on restoring all the old pets, and then I have a new map place ready to be uploaded... If anyone has any problems in the meantime please let me know!

Its about time for something new! I've finished uploading the pets people currently signed up had, and the splicing lab is now open! You can find crossbreeds between a few creatures here. Theres only four at the moment, (one of which I had to give the site a pg 13 warning for...) but theres plenty more to come!

It won't let me sign up at all D: Keeps saying I did not enter a gender.

Darn it! I knew something like that was going on. :( I tried fiddling with the registration to stop spammers who kept invading my forum... but it looks like I've locked everyone out lol. I'll try and figure it out and test stuff tomorrow, I'm sorry but you'll have to wait for now, I was about to sleep lol. >.<'

And thankyou so much for telling me!

Okay, I managed to find what I did wrong and fixed it tonight! I'm sorry about that anyone watching, I was trying to block spammers out, but ended up blocking everyone out! But I tested it and it should be working again now, along with some anti spam stuff I installed. :P So feel free to join up! And let me know if anything else isnt working please. ^_^

Love the website so far *-* I noticed I can't access /myadopts.php though ono "The requested URL /myadopts.php was not found on this server."
---
I really love all the animated images :D Looks like a lot of work was put into making all of it. :pleased:

Eep, where did you access that from? :o Yeh I change a couple of pages names, I'm avoiding the common adopt word which is kinda difficult lol. ^_^' Partly because some of the 'pets' are objects and it sounded a little odd...

Thanks! Its been a labour of passion for about three years now? :D It was a bit hard at first, but I've gotten a lot better and faster, I can make a whole pet in about a day? Especially if its a small one. One of the big ones took me about three days straight just to animate it because its a weird ghost wolf and its legs cycle around, and all its many eyes, mouths and ears move lol. It was such a pain, but I love it. XD

I like your site too, its good to know how it is going every now and then.

Thanks Famer. ^_^ I hope you're alright, you havent been around for a day or two have you? :o

I found some links that still linked back to the myadopts.php and changed them, let me know if you find anymore! I actually had a really good night of coding. o.o' I changed some stuff in the pets pages to make it look better, like a redo of the icons, some added buttons and a lot of centering... and I remade the explore with your pet feature from scratch. :D And I even kind of fixed the messageboard/shoutbox with an instant refresh! I meant to make it show a blank page with something like 'click here to see your message' but it wasnt letting me and it was about 5am by that time so I just stuck an automatic meta refresh into the message that popped up at the bottom of the page. XD So hopefully after I get all the items finished and up and typed about the site will be pretty much done. :D Then its only a few small minor things I need I think, mostly pulling info over from the forum... Thats my next coding project, but for my next design project I'm looking at time travel. ;P That should be much easier lol!

Actually I havent been around for 3-4 days, and I apologize for that. XD

Seems that you are getting better and more comfortable at coding, this is really good to know. ^^

Lol its okay as long as you're alright, my site didnt crash and I'm sure it was very important to drag you away from here. :P

If I stare at it long enough sometimes it makes sense. XD Im sure I'll still be cursing it when I try to add or get stuff from the database with coding lol. I dont think I'll ever get up to being as good as you, or Isura who sometimes helps me out though. >.>'

I guess I should post an update, and I wanted to show some artwork off. XD I've been working hard on the exploring with the pet option I made, in the spoiler are some screenshots. I made it so that the image changes depending on the time of day, and the Vieren plant pet has been moved into the garden and automatically changes depending on the time of year now. ^_^ I have a bunch of other plans to add to the explore system, so watch that space! Now my favourite image that I've made from scratch. o.o

And here are some screenshots! If you want to see them moving or at different times of the day you'll have to lurk on my site. ;P

Oooh, these look pretty! What kind of explore system is it? Is it kind of like an adventure, or have you hidden pets in certain areas?

By the time I finish it I think it'll be both lol. I dont really hide them, you just have to click on the obvious stuff to get to them, like the shell on the beach. The hidden ones are the bottle pets you have to hunt down since they are hidden throughout the map. ;P

Well, sounds good! I should join... :3

Yeh you should. ;P

^_^ Joined! Looks really nice - the art is gorgeous! :D

Thankyou! As my aching fingers can tell anyone I made it all myself over the last few years. :D I need to join your site too, the art looks cute lol.

Re
 

Well, keep up the great work - i'll probably be lurking around, hoping to see more of the adopts and the new exploration thing! :D

Site's down?

Yeh I made a post about it in the twitter/facebook posts a couple of days ago. I've currently got a support ticket on it, and their looking into it, but since their busy with server transfers I think their a bit busy... :/ Its annoying its been down for about three days now... Luckily I can still work on images and the new wiki I made. thanks for the idea, it seemed popular. ^_^ And every item and thing can have its own page now lol.

Okay heres a little update, as some of you might have noticed theres been some more little changes and fixes. You can now organize your pets into groups, there is also two new item shops, though one does sell a kind of pet. ^_^ This is the start of a companion pet idea, and you can also get beds for your pets now. They currently dont do much besides look nice, but that may change later. ;) The wiki library has been completed, it just needs linking to the site, and battle system is well underway, but recently some bad some things have popped up in my personal life so I may be a little slow... if anyone wants to help out with a few little jobs to speed things up I'd greatly appreciate it!

Also to kick off the companion pets if anyone wants a special one just head to the keystone and type in 'life'. ;P

Hey, Ruinily, is it just me, or are users unable to log onto the site? I've tried a couple of times by now, but it's still not working...

Um, I've managed to just log out and in fine on firefox, at first on chrome I had an odd problem with the www. site popping up instead of just http, but it just seemed to go away on its own once I cut that bit out of the url... I have no idea how it happened, if it was through a dodgy link or if it was a cookie thing, but if you have any information on a logging in problem please give me as much detail as possible. ^_^' I know the server was being a bit dodgy earlier, might that have been it?

Well, it basically says that the login failed. :L

Um, could you please copy the writing and paste it here? ^_^' And did you check if the url said www. ? If it does can you tell me how you got there? o.o And whats your username on my site again?

No, there was no www. and I believe my username was Dream Beauty.

Oh well, I just rest the password - everything works fine now! :3

Yay magic. ^_^ By the way I think the passwords are case sensitive, that used to mess me up when I was logging in... If anything else goes wrong for anyone let me know!

um, currently it is possible to get more than one companion with 'life' from the keystone

Yeh I made it so that users can only get five since they're also edible. ;P Or in case they want a tiny army of angry bacon demons. XD

Okay this is a serious last minute halloween update from me! So I'll let it run for a couple of days more lol. ^_^' This halloween has serious creeped up on me, I havent even done my pumpkins yet! But I managed to do a few things for the Felkyo. :) I have a new item, soul soup, a new mini pet, a ball of slime, lol, and a new pet! The werecat in Hangmans square, though I will be adding the chance for it to turn into a vampire cat later. ;) To see the full updates check the message board!

Okay this is a big update! I have good and bad news. I'll get the bad news out the way first, our wonderful coder is taking a month or two out to upgrade and improve her own site. So its likely we wont be getting any heavy coding based projects (like the battling system) finished until around April. Its fine, she has her own great site too, and I have a bunch of things to finish myself here anyway. That leads onto the good news, I have photoshop back! :D And I've been going crazy on it, I'm really sorry I missed a couple of events, I'm hoping a few new pets will make it up. ^_^ So the old location pet will be moving out (finally!) next week, if you havent got it yet you had better go get it! The next location creature is very unusual... Its made out of fire and ice and its definitely one of my favourites. So as a little extra to apologise for my time off I made a special nebula version that can ONLY be gotten from the main Felkyo shop over the next two weeks. ^_^ There wont be any kept spare in the stock account, so you'll have to make sure you get them!

And I know I missed the Chinese new year, but its still the year of the horse right? So along with the special nebula creature I'm also putting the year of the horse creature in the main Felkyo shop for the next two weeks too. Its kind of a horse, mixed with some other creatures to make something very unique. I'll post a message on the message board the day before I take them both out.

Since its valentines day I've also made a couple of items, the valentines chocolates and a card you can send to someone special. ;) They are in Baulders boutique. I hope you all have a lovely valentines day! And because I know I've been bad with updates and people have probably stopped watching here I'll leave the valentines items out over the weekend for anyone that just wants to have a lovely weekend. :)

I'll keep you all updated as much as I can!

I was so caught up in the art for the next project I may have forgotten to change the location. XD Its all sorted out now, the Selkulf is finally gone, replaced by the Iglaciar! If you want to get one head over to the current location, and dont forget the more limited version of the Iglaciar and the Chinese new year creature will be going out of the Felkyo shop after this weekend!
