WIP some custom pet overlays 🤭 Hmm they seem familiar..

[rescreatu]

Today we’re sharing our plans for the new map system that will be in the next version of Rescreatu. Let’s have a look around!

Traverse the planets far and wide!

Maps will become the centralized place for Rescreatu citizens to explore the universe. You can go to every location directly within this new map system. (There will be easy ways to access certain places or pages via a site menu as well.)

⚡❗ Heads up: This information is in the early stages of development! The images you see here are mock-up sketches showcasing the overall concept of our exciting new map system. They’re designed to give you a sneak peek at how it’ll work, but keep in mind that some details might change before the official release. Just a friendly reminder: We’ll begin creating this map system after we’ve laid the groundwork for our shiny new website. We’re sharing this with you now because we value your input. Your feedback will help us make sure the concept is rock-solid when the time comes to bring it to life!

The solar system map

Visit each planet quickly through the solar system map view. Currently there are 4 main planets you can visit and 1 inaccessible planet in the Rescreatu solar system. And who knows what else is out there!

Planet maps

Each planet map is projected in an isometric view, such as this concept art above of Relcore’s new map. You may notice some familiar locations and some new ones. 😉

More places to discover

This new map system will allow Rescreatans to chart the planets more than ever before. There are so many unknown discoveries that await! Have you ever asked yourself what’s on the “other side” of these planets we all know so well? 👀

Interactive user interface

The planet maps will have an app-like interactive map experience where you’re able to easily zoom, show/hide labels, and click on specific locations. Above is a mobile demonstration showing this.

Locations

Each location has an icon that can be clicked to see where it leads, and every location will vary on what you can do there. This could be a specific activity or shop that you can visit to bring you to a new page, or you can have your creatu explore a location to see what items or eggs they can find.

Location information

Clicking on a location will show at a glance what each location entails before entering.

Detect new species, quests, or items

Checking locations will also tell you if the system detects a new creatu species or quest item that can be discovered there.

Creatu spots

Most creatu species can be found while exploring any location throughout their given planet. However, it’s been discovered recently that each creatu species has a specific location where they can be found more frequently as well.

Map visibility/progression

New location icons will appear as you explore and do quests, and parts of the map may even be revealed by becoming uncovered.

Quests

Your quests may often lead you to any of the four planets in search of something or someone. Available and current quests will be noted by distinct icons on the planet maps, so you know exactly where they are.

What do you think about the new map system?

Backers Beware: Santae

"Santae - An Enchanting Virtual Pet and Avatar RPG World!" is a Kickstarter campaign raising funds to further develop Santae.net, a browser based virtual pet site. Through aggressive marketing campaigns and releasing a highly polished alpha build, the project has amassed a large following and supporters. As of writing, the campaigned has raised over $70k, nearly quadruple of their $20k goal.

Unfortunately, numerous allegations have emerged surrounding the project. Claims ranging from design plagiarism to shoddy interactions between staff and the playerbase have been reported, but the most concerning of all has been this exposé on the artist paying rates.

Santae Artist Rates Exposed

This post was submitted by Anonymous. Thank you for the fantastic information: Hello! just wanted to send in a message regarding artist pay

For those who may not have the time to read through this lengthy post, I would like to highlight this excerpt:

"Please bear this in mind when you think about those 150 to 500 dollar price tags on the Kickstarter for designing items. 150 dollars for Hair, when the artist will get 5. 200 dollars for a single clothing item, when the range the artist will receive will be 2 to 8 USD."

As of writing, there has been no official statement regarding these alleged pay rates.

I do not wish to see Santae fail. I gladly welcome any addition to the relatively niche genre of virtual pet games. However, I cannot rest easy knowing hundreds of people might unknowingly be supporting a project that exploits the people it owes its success to. The linked post has been reblogged less than 20 times.

The primary goal of this post is to spread awareness. Backers deserve transparency on the projects they are supporting. I implore readers to share if they can, as the campaign ends in 8 days.

New desgin for my fursona

She's based on the rescreatu iluvu bc thats also my username and favorite creatu

[poogle]

Ahhh yes. Exactly what I wanted.

[pan-xichen]

My username is Xichen (you all know why, lmao) on the virtual pet site Rescreatu, and I'm a moderator. In exchange for working for the website I got my very own item that users can buy from an NPC shop for the website's virtual currency! I got to design it, and a site artist did the official artwork. I even got to write the item description! Since I wanted to avoid copying him directly, I designed a soft little dragon with the colours of Xichen's robes, holding a tiny flute. Here he is in all his plush glory!!
