Pixel Adventures and Dilemas

[Willow]

Hey there!

I've been away from all online sim life for a while, but am getting back to it now C:
I've been hovering a few days considering delving back into Secundi for the adopts, and also I'm thinking of adopting out as well >3<

Last time I was around I tried to do a Mini Kennel revival,

*mini kennel info*

Unfortunately since then I've lost basically all my old files, any old adoptables I had are gone ;____;
Luckily it would be easy to retemplate the ones I had posted here, but I've lost all the lines I had ready to release as well which just makes me feel kind of eh.
Also with this latest Photobucket thing I'm not sure if anyone still has access to their old dogs? o_O
I honestly don't use Photobucket anyway anymore, but it could effect the old dogs out there.

I really want to keep pixelling, because that's what I tend to enjoy and have been mostly doing for the past year.

Another idea I've been toying with is releasing these little lines as a new adoptie, I've been affectionately calling them Bitey Ponies ~


They would be pretty simple, collect, breed, free giveaways etc.
Full customs would be rarer, I'll most likely offer a lot of palette customs, as full customs take a lot longer and I'll be wanting not to overload myself C:

If I was to do the Kennel instead it would most likely be a month by month schedule, e.g one month breedings, next month customs. As there will be more of them and the lore/base adopt has a bit more depth to it.

So really I guess they're the two I'm thinking of at the moment!
Let me know if you'd like to see the Mini Kennel rekindled, or something new ^^

Of course if neither appeal then I'll just take a back seat and be happy collecting all the other adopties available

[PonyMama]

I like the doggies, but the horsies are cute too, so I am no help

[Willow]

Okay thank you PM! xD
At least  that's a "happy either way" vote C:

[YourLoveOnly]

I have a love for tiny things, so my vote is Mini Kennel!

[Kahlira]

The horsie things are cute XD

I vote either.

[Willow]

Thank you both!

Mini Kennel 3
Bitey Ponies 2

The little doggos taking the lead! ^^
I've managed to find the old Mini Kennel photobucket but oh jeez this site is so freaking terrible! D:<
Less than a minute into logging in I've had to close three ads and the layout is just *aaargggghhhhh*

how did I ever use this site I mean really.

[PonyMama]

its like me finding my computer after a couple years.....my filing system is so confusing

[Rosewood]

I like the ponies a bit more, just size wise ( have terrible eye sight so easier to see markings and stuff on slightly bigger images). BUT the doggos are cute and I'd be happy either way.

[BabyKittenCandy]

Since we have the FCFC active i think id rather see a different type of adopt active. I cant say the horses call to me as im not that keen on the lines but perhaps a 3rd mystery option

[Ryuukokoro]

I agree with BKC, I think pixel are is so cute! But the Mini Kennel and bitey things don't look like things I would collect. Hmm maybe a small horse adoptable that focuses on breeding the way that Quin did? Or something with a large backstory, I love adoptables with backstories that evolve as we collect and play!

[Willow]

Hrmm okay, thanks for more feedback!

I really want to do something that I'm inspired to colour though, otherwise it won't be as fun for you guys either, and I'll likely lack the staying power.

At the moment for a different third option, I would consider bringing back Tiny Whyos.
Individually drawn pixel critters with lots of different trait options?

Or Flickers which are templated, but little flamey ponies?


Although other than the mini kennel I won't be sticking to purely naturals like the Quin, again so I can keep myself entertained ^^;

[Ryuukokoro]

Aww I love 'em both! They are so cute! I like the poses on the Tiny Whyos, but I like the hair on the Flickers. I like that the Flickers are a little bigger, too. The poses on the TW are really adorable, and their different traits, but so small that it's hard to see. They don't have an outline either, so some of their colors are blending into the tan background of Secundi. (For example the Lutes and FCFC are both tiny but they have an outline around their bodies so it's a little easier to pick them out.)

My vote is for the Flickers but maybe outline them so they don't blend in with the background.

[BabyKittenCandy]

Both are cute but I think the Flickers are sweet as! Id like to follow them, but yes, most important is staying power

[Willow]

Maybe I should just make "The Pixel Realm" and that way I could do giveaways, customs and breedings of multiple species/lines. But they'd all be my art, and if I'm feeling shark ponies one day, flame ponies the next, then mini doggies another, then I can have it both ways D|

And if you like one set of lines, then you can focus on collecting just those, and people can trade off the premades of species they don't want etc etc

/is terrible at making decisions
/just wants pixel everything
/and loves the bitey ponees
/and everything..
...
/should go to bed

eta:
omg, I found the garden critters, from 2010! O:

[YourLoveOnly]

I am good with something called Pixel Realm xD And I'd even have ideas for how to tie a bunch of different tiny things together in one shop thematically if you do want something that makes more thematic sense (I don't mind much either way but it's always nice). Feel free to hit me up in Discord to chat anytime

ALSO. I am the biggest fan of customizing. I adore custom poses, even if they are all premades, and I adore lots of traits. Any shop with a butt-ton of variety will get my love. If you make them all unique posed that is even more great.

[Willow]

Okay cool! I've dropped you a PM YLO ^^

Well the good thing about my pixels is that I love to make unique edits and lots of mutations to make things interesting, Bitey Ponies already have three mutations I made >u>

And a few species would be super easy to get unique poses for (e.g Flickers)
Whyo are all unique so that's a given.

Mini Kennel I can look into tiny equipabble items. But only if they look right.

ALSO SOMEONE PLEASE I FOUND MORE D8



These were called Pixwits, and have loads of templated mutations, but wouldn't be animated anymore >w<


*drowns in pixels*

[Kahlira]

Those kitteh!

[PonyMama]

Gosh I want PixWits

[Rosewood]

I want tiny pixel kittehs..... o.o I want everything :O

[Wildfilly94]

The last horse and kitty pixel ones you found though... :hearteyes:

[Willow]

Okay, so I am making an adoptable out of nearly all my pixel lines, it will be called pixelhearts, and thanks to YLO for the idea there will be a Gashapon theme to collecting/adopting. So if you want to only focus on one set of lines that will be possible!

I'm working on retemplating the Mini Kennel, here's the progress!

New:
Doberman Pinscher, New Pom lines, Cocker Spaniel and English Shepherd lines
Changes:
Old Pomeranian lines will now be classed as a Chow, as they're pretty big compared to the rest of the small/toy dogs. New Pom lines are 2nd in first row, with the little "blep" tounge.
Question:
Does anyone care about the shading, or do these sort of flat colours look okay?


Fancy Cats also templated! female/male


Depending on how productive the next few hours are (and how long I stay up >3>) I might be ready for release this weekend, or at the very least get some setup posts done C:

[PonyMama]

Shading isn't important
but need so many chinese crested puppies

and if you don't wanna run pixwits you can hand them to me to colour, I wouldn't mind, just saying, I need lots of them in my life

[DarkRhiannon]

i like the bitey ponies and the flickers and what not.

i actually rather like them all. i just like the horsey stuff more
