First Words
I timed things poorly. I am not yet done with my egg salad sandwich but I guess it will have to wait. The first song was “Korobeiniki (Tetris theme)”. I played this before it's the tetris theme in crazy rock-style with electric guitars by Ozma and not um- people theorized once before who this this was by and they were wrong. Anyways it's by Ozma, it's by Ozma Um and as I said I played before, I was getting frustrated couldn't find something else, um and the second song is supposedly from FLCL. I don't remember hearing it, it's called “Stalker Goes To Babylon” by, um I'm awful with these Japanese names (The Pillows) or some such, Um, Cool there are emails but I'm going to assure everyone that I am working on the merit and flaw system. Um, and... OH! Other things happened but anyway, Vicious Ruff sent me a cool page that someone had made that collected merits and flaws from other books and combined them and I had a page like that-that I knew about myself, but anyway. I'm working on those. Um-I am. I'm working on them. And, the other cool thing, the cool thing is that I went and ate lunch with Hector um who I worked with at Barnes and Noble. He's not there much any more when I am so we don't get to ya know, talk instead of working, uh like we used to talk instead of work. Right, anyway,uh but we went and got lunch and that was cool it was it was ya know all you can eat Chinese, but we talked about crazy items and has some new ideas including one that I think will be enjoyable, there was a debate, we disagreed on how exactly this should be implemented, but a magic microwave, you can put in as much food as you want, and it spits out a random prepared meal of equal size. Um- although if you put in too much obviously...I don't know if it should give you multiple meals, prepared meals um, but again they would just be random meals it would have nothing to do with the actual food just the amount of-of food value you get out of it. Um, and there would have to be some limitations, on what exactly it could produce. Um, I would like it to explode randomly when you use it. It would be an invention that pets make. Um, and it would explode. Ah, so you couldn't use it all the time. You just get all these meals but um Hector doesn't like the exploding thing he thinks that, that will make people angry. Um, so anyway, I don't know exactly when I'm going to do that but that was really a fun idea, There was also, he talked about this when I first implemented the Dungeon um, when you clean up in the Dungeon the remains of the monsters that you have in there, like uh, their talons and quite possibly their dung, I don't know what you would do with dung. We thought maybe you could put it in the Fireplace add some hours or extract chemicals from it. It would be gross, you should leave them in the house your pets would be very unhappy. Um, anyway - fluff, talons, scales, possibly dung. It would be good times. Um- so that's what Hector and I talked about and we stayed there for much longer than I'm sure the, you know, people that ran the restaurant wanted us to. Anyway let's open up this little email thingy. I have lots. Ah, I even have some from last week. Well let's see if any of them are still relevant.What do we have here? I have here someone saying, “hi, yo yo what up?” *laughs* We all kno- okay, so here's something from-
Freezair SilverEye
"We know who the God's of psypets are but my question is who is the devil of Psypets world?" ...The Psypets um, ah- mythology is not based on Christianity at all. And there isn't a devil per say. I'd almost compare it more with the Greek thing just because there are multiple of them and the dead just happen to be tended by Rizi Vizi because he's the God of where things end and of endings. So it's not necessarily bad when you die, I don't think there is any inherent reward or punishment system for being good and evil. Um, other than, ya, it's much more old style religion where you know you're supposed to, if you want rain or then you know fertility, then you would pray to the appropriate Gods, in that case Gizubi, or what ever. Um, so anyway, what else to we have here?
Llamas!
Llamas! says, “Why do you not give people 200 monies like you used to?” that was a really, really long time ago. That was so long ago. That was before you were even playing I'm sure of it. Unless you're someone from college who has recreated an account under the name Llamas! That was so long ago. The 200 monies is more than a License to Commerce cost and there is no way I can let you get a License to Commerce for free because then you'll create an account and get a bunch of oranges and stuff and just syphon all those items to ah, you know, your main accounts. Um, it's been a long time and there were so mane changes after that asking that question is insane. I mean you used to start with 100, and you didn't start with items and now there is that free economy thing, and whatever you don't start with 200 monies anymore.
~Someone thinks broadcasting is cool and paper should be edible. umm, ah,
Vitriol
Vitriol says “I want to get 30% of listed prices at Barnes and Noble do they often put stuff up fro 40% off? ” Um, sometimes. *laughs* Most of that is for members.
What do we have here? Ben fix the tower...I don't know what's broken with it. Oh, that was a towers of babble person. I'm sorry I haven't been working on towers of babble, if any towers of babble people are listening. Um, there has just been so much to do with Psypets and towers of babble is not my priority. Sometimes it is and it just hasn't been recently because I've just been on a, I don't know a kick, or something with this Psypets. I don't know. So anyway... what else do we have here?
Cool Fool
Cool Fool says “What's up dude? Do you know if allowance options can change? I'm just wondering. Oh and just as a suggestion it would be cool if you made a new place and call it the grocery shop or something like this.” Um, I don't know what you mean about allowance options they can change if you go to the Bank you can change what you get for allowance. Um, and the grocery store doesn't exist anymore. Um, game run stores in general will never exist any more. Um, I don't mind the flower shop. It's the first exception forever. Um, and it was supposed to temporary just for Valentines but I decided to keep it around because, they were so popular, the flowers were. Um, but so most of the things are exchangeable. The problem with game run stores is they break the game. The reason is because-because the game values items based on how much players are exchanging them for um, if you, say for example someone had a candy store and they were selling candies at 4 monies because that's how much they're worth right now. It would be a day before people double the price to 8 monies and then you would buy candies from the game for 4 monies and then you would sell them back to the game for 8! *laughs* People do this because they are asses. Um, and they'll take advantage of any exploit. You're all bad people. So anyway, that's why there are not game run stores and it is possible to have the game, you know weight transactions, like if you buy something from the game for 4 monies then it should say, well, that's like a player to player transaction, 4 monies, so when we calculate the new values then you know it should it should only be 4 monies. Um, the only problem with that is that the values are recalculated until the end of the day and it kind of has to be that way. To collect enough data to say yes the market, we have enough data to, you know, change the values, of items. If that weren't true it would be even easier for people to abuse, the system is abusable and people like to abuse it so I stop, and um there are no game run stores for that reason. Anyway and the flowers the reason the flowers are there is that you cannot sell them back to the game so that exploit does not exist. Um, although one of the things you can still do is the pawn shop. The Pawn Shop is a-is a point of—I would love to destroy the Pawn Shop but everyone would cry if I did that, so I can't. Um, I just have to work with it. Anyway I'm pretty sure you can't exchange flowers at the Pawn shop...Is that true? I should check, anyway, Yeah, it's true they have no sell back so you can't in the Pawn Shop, right. Because otherwise the same problem will happen where, even when you couldn't sell the item to the game you could jack up it's value and then trade it for something through the Pawn Shop that is worth more money. I don't even think of these things. Just because other people think of these things, have abused them and then I have to go fix them. Anyway, I'm going to stop complaining about that. What else do we got here?
Chicho
Chicho? yeah Chicho says “I think you should start doing something to the Pet Shelter. It never has any pets when I go look. :( Perhaps we could start doing something like 'I will hence forth put so many pets in the Shelter each day' This will no only provide more pets for users but more importantly provide level one pets for adoption.” The Pet Shelter used to be um, regulated so there were always at least four pets or at least eight or something like that. Um, and then I did pregnancy and then I decided that I didn't want pets in the shelter. Pets do go into the shelter on a regular basis. Um, I have suspicions that some people are camping the- probably lots of people are camping the Pet Shelter. And reloading all the time. With or without a bot who knows. And nabbing a pet the moment it's available. Pets are available on a pretty regular basis. Not because they are being added to the game by the game but from deleted accounts and people putting pets in the shelter There's like a thr- sorry one month delay um, before a pet finally does appear. Um, slightly randomized. *laughs* And this is again because people like to exploit things that they are given the opportunity to. Anyway, after a month the pets will appear and there is a pretty regular stream of pets like every...let me go check. And I tell people this all the time, the pets are regularly entering the Shelter it's just that someone is getting them um, before you do. On the 16th at 7:17...in six minutes there will be a new pet. And then two hours later there will be a pet. Um, there will in fact be two pets and then 20 minutes after that there will be a pet and then 21 minutes after that there will be another. The pets are regularly going into the Shelter someone is just taking them before you get them. That's all it is. Um, and I can see all these pets because I am you know- I have that ability. But there are 44 pages worth of pets and varying time delays till they enter the Shelter. They are all there. Um, it's just a matter of getting there on time. Then again I think there might be someone-- oh look, someone just took the took I just saw. Someone is just camping and taking them up as quickly as possible but um, Something I could do is make it so that you can only adopt a pet a day or something. A restriction like that but that doesn't help people with multiple accounts. No, it does because then they would have to use a favor to transfer it. Anyway, So something like that might be in order. I don't know if it's the same person stealing all the pets or what but I can uh, I can think about that some. Anyway pet pregnancies are supposed to be the way that pets get into the game. And is working as is evidence by all the pets that are here. Um, when you do make a new account the first pet that you get that you can't put in the Shelter even when the account is deleted is not put in the shelter. So all of these pets have come from Scrolls of Monsters summoning, from pet pregnancy, um, or something. So I think that enough pets going into the game, just that it's a limited resource and everyone wants it. Anyway, let's see what else we got goin' on here...
gooey
gooey says “Wow you've been busy this week. Thanks for all the new items, pet graphics, and grammar monies etcetera. Could you tell us more about the pet quest that you mentioned earlier? Uh, what happens when a pet with a custom graphic has babies? What will they look like?” I'll answer the last question first because it's easy. It's a completely random graphic even the um, breeding only graphics, a um, custom pet has the opportunity to give birth to. There are currently, what is it? Like 107 public available graphics? Graphics you can get through a Scroll of Monster summoning or through sign-up. Um, I don't think I'm going to increase that numbers much. I would like to add more and more pets to the breeding only options. Um, and that will make custom pet graphics more valuable because there'll be an increase chance of getting a breed only pet. So we end up with 200 graphics total. 100 of them are, you know, available to everyone and 100 breed only. 50/50 chance when a custom pet graphic gives birth that you get a graphic that is not usually available. So that will be more valuable as more breeding only graphics get into the game. And when will I add more pet graphics? Don't ask. I don't know. As for the pet quests that I mentioned earlier. I want to do a pet ascension thing. Um, although it's goig to be more of an apprenticeship. Various NPC- This is my idea I've had for a while I just haven't made much progress. I've made some and I can talk about that too. Um, the ideas that the different NPCs will have different apprenticeship options. Where it will be like I will train your pet to be the uber-alchemist or the uber-smith or banker? I don't know. Or Scientist, researcher, you know, inventor, whatever, um so various NPCs will offer various quests for you pets will take one of them. Um, and then you pet will go through the early quest will be, you know, bring me a paper airplane that you invented. And you'll bring a paper airplane and this is why pets now have comments on the items so that can be tracked. This is a paper airplane that your pet made. Not that you bought from someone else or that some other pet made. So you'll bring it and it will say fantastic you know you're.. Whatever, you'll get some XP for completing a quest step. And then it will be like okay, bring me, you know, a bottle rocket, I don't have bottle rockets...Oobleck or something, so you'll have to get your pet to make all these different things, Um, and maybe you'll have, you know things other than making items can be involved. I don't know what all there could be. Um, maybe you have to sell something that one of your pets made and um, I don't know. So anyway, I can think of what I want to quest to be like. And then once you complete it all then your pet will be ready to venture forth into, you know, leave the home essentially. You finally send your kid off to college or to make a life of its own and so your pet will similarly. Pets don't like-- er sorry, Players do not like their pets leaving. So they won't actually leave. I think what I want to do, lots of games do this, where your character re~ or reincarnation or ascends. Um, and then you start over again at level one but with something you could have never had before with a level one pet. Um, and I think this is where the merits and flaws will come in and then breeding will become more crazy. I would like for pets to be randomly assigned like a single merit and a single flaw when they start out the game of like equal severity so the flaw should be canceled out by the merits unusual standing. Um. then when your pet ascends I would like to reveal, these are are the merits and flaws of what your pet has either remove a flaw or add a merit and then restart with the pet again. So your pet is now better than it could have been as a level one pet because it now has just one merit or two merits and a flaw. And then as you keep doing it you can add on the merits. Three merits, four merits, five merits and I'll keep adding new merits um, and flaws ideally. I already have a significant list so you can go on with this for quite some time, building up merits and flaws for your pets. And, some of the merits are like light sleeper which will make them more efficient they won't need as many hours of sleep. Or a deep sleeper as a flaw. I talked about that though, they won't rest as quickly. And then there is a flaw like um, light hearted so they won't be inclined to go um, or less inclined to go out adventuring and hunting because they don't want to harm life and um, things like that. Merit lightning calculator that makes them better at inventing I've been thinking of um, various merits and flaws I can do like this. Some of them are really powerful. I don't know how I'll let you get them. I guess if it's through ascension you should be able to get a super powerful thing. So that's what I wanted to do with pet quests. That is the goal that is presently in my mind and I will remind everyone that a goal one time in my mind was to travel to the hollow earth, didn't pan out so well. This is a little more feasible. Um, the code for doing like, light sleeper and heavy sleeper is ridiculously simple it's already in place. It's just that no pets have light or deep sleeper. Ah but none of the other merits or flaws are encoded yet although there are flags as to whether or not that has happened. They just don't have them. Um, so that's pet quests. I'm going to move on to the next email, there are a lot of them. It's already 7:18. That's crazy! Um, here we go...Ah! No, I can't do that. People are trying to tell me to tell everyone to give everyone money or something... People are asking um, 'my pets are sad and depressed, how do I make them happy?' These are on the Q&A forum. Go into the forums, if you can't go into the forums, do the tutorial again. Um, the tutorial is there to help you with those things. Um, it's in the help index. I don't want to spend time talking about it on the broadcast. *Chu chu chu chu chu...* Okay, so, and we've talked about- okay, someone is asking about
anniecmehil
anniecmehil ...I don't know “How do I get more pets? How many can I have? Will there be quests? Are there be pictures of houses? Can I use doupleme avatars?” Use what? Doupleme avatars? Like hotmail ones? I don't know what they are talking about. Like hotmail and I don't' use hotmail either. Anyway, you can have as many pets as you want, there's not a limit on that. Will there be quests- I've talked about. Pictures of houses, there are not pictures of houses. Yeah, I don't know... I don't think there ever will be. I don't know how you- I mean the houses get ridiculously huge. I can't even of what the real life equivinalt of a size 50 to a size 20,000 which is the maximum. I-I wouldn't know how to draw that. *laughs*
pearlstardust
pearlstardust “For April's Custom Item would you be able to make a watering can? You would be able to water one pant in your Green House per day to speed up the growth a little. It could be like Psypet's April showers. Just an idea to consider.” Interesting...That's not bad. One thing I try to avoid with the monthly donation item is I don't want it to give an advantage to players and I know that some of them already do. Um, like the windmill. Um, I'm trying to avoid doing that more in the future. *laughs* So, I wouldn't like- Like the magic microwave thing that makes a crazy food item. I don't know whether or not that gives an advantage. I kind of feel like it might so I don't want to make that a monthly item. Were it's never destroyed you just keep shoving in food like that. I thought about doing that as a monthly item but I don't want to do that. Watering can....Nah, I need to stay away from making the Green House better. The Green House is really too good as it is. I'm not going to make that better. Here's something else we talked about in the- during the- oh I almost forgot about this. Did I write this down? When Hector and I were talking we have the um- Green House to grow plants...What about having like, an animal pen where you can grow animals? Like, you can put in an egg and you could get two chicken legs. Which is kind of scary, but you know something like that. You couldn't grow steak because there aren't cow eggs. Though, in Psypets maybe there could be. There are rocks, maybe you could get gargantuan eggs and raise rocks, I don't know. Anyway, that was a weird idea that we had. Um, right a chicken coop. Oh yeah these are another weird idea we had considered. Something that I like about lots of games Um, mmorpgs...Anything were your character can wield equipment. Is it if you have like- they have sets like, like you'll have you know, I don't know what the sets are called. I can only think of Dofus because that the only one I play. They have a Gobballs set, Gobballs are these little sheepy things that are in that game. And so you can get like, the Gobball cape and there is a Gobball hammer and a Gobball ring and you know... if you wear the whole Gobball set you get increase in bonuses, the more items you have. The problem with Psypets is pets can only wear, or whatever wield one tool at a time. They can't have multiple parts to get a set with increase in bonuses. I would like to have sets and so one idea that we sort of had is that he was talking about having angry mob type items. A pitchfork and a torch and I already have a scythe and so he said something should happen, something special should happen. You could have all your pets dressed up like an angry mob. I don't know what it would be. He jokingly suggested they all go storm Vicious Ruff's castle. Um, but it would be cool if you had, not sets that happened on one pet but a set were if like each pet...It wouldn't even have to be all of them. But if there was an angry mob set with a pitch fork, torch and a scythe, and then you had one pet equipped with you know one of each...Then you would have a group of pets that was an angry mob. And then they could do something as a group or something weird would happen on their hourly activity because they're all dressed up as an angry mob. Um, something like that would be be funny. I don't know what I would do with it. I don't know what the angry mob would do. I guess there could be some weird evil castle- I don't know...But there's like some clown gear in the game again...I don't know what clowns would do. So it was an interesting idea. I thought that was really fun cause it involves multiple pets which could be fun. Um, and that's how this topic got started. I was saying that it would be cool if pets could do group efforts like gang up and beat up a monster. But coding fort that is really kind of tricky at best. I'm not looking forward to doing something like that, as cool as it would be. But if it's tied items and they do something completely different...Unlike any other hourly activity...um that would be mush easier for me to do. I could do that. Um, and it some ways...Well maybe it's not so hard to do, group together... But again it needs to be based on...Anyway, this idea would be neat so...Maybe that would be done maybe not. We talked about weather and wheelbarrows and all sorts of neat stuff...Anyway...Let's see what other mail I got.
Con the Dead
Con the Dead says “Potted pine equal profile.” I assume Con the Dead means that it is not and it should be. I will write that down. Cause it's true potted pine should be a profile item if it's not. Potted pine make profile...Who else have I got here?
Llamas!
Llamas! says, “Could you some how make jobs for pets to make money?” No, that was something we had a long time ago. Llamas! is asking about everything that used to be in Psypets. Who are you? “If you have two profile items instead of having two, could you just have a times two on the bottom of it?” M, consolidate the profile? I kind of feel like it should be in options. Not a horrible idea. I kind of like that, and I know other people do, wanted them to be sorted. Just like th- And I always say this...The profile items are your hoard. You're showing off your big pile of treasure. It's a dragon hoard, so I kind of like that chaotic mess of -like- Gems, Gold, and swords and stuff every where. I like that imagery it appeals to me some how. And reducing it down to numbers is so not grand. No one thinks the same way I do about these these things it's sad. Anyway. I don't know if I'm going to do that, but-it's a-not a bad idea but it is a little cluttered. But I like that messy I like it that way. Oh well what else we got here?
KSmall
Ksmall punches me in the face and says that I should work on teh Kitchen. Um, I've been opting to go for more tools. Just because the Kitchen seems so good. It takes all the work out of it but I guess that's the point. Anyway what else we got? Oh be sides the face punch Born2Bwild will wack you with a rolled up magazine Kitchen, Kitchen, Kitchen, Kitchen, Kitchen...I get the idea. *laughs*
Vitriol
Vitriol says, “With monster dung you could make pottery with it!” How delightful?!? All the pets will enjoy smelly pottery. Now I know you can do that.
achiral
achiral says, “The airs sarcasm, mischief and you get the idea... Are they still given out by the Gods?” Yes, they are. Um they are not given out by the Gos in the Auction house. They're given out if you donate a large sum of money by all at once, and by large sum of money I mean, at least 1,000. Like, if you give them 1,000 then it's a 1% chance to give you an item or something. And I don't remember exactly how the formula works. And it's logarithmic so you can't just double the amount of money or whatever. Um but anyway um, You have to donate a large sum of money to have a decent chance and then you might not get it, and then you'll cry because it was 2,000 monies. Um, it's a money sink to be honest. *Laughs* But you know it gets you a profile item, so you get something out of it that you can't get any other way. What else do we got here?
Llamas!
“Pets at your door pleeeeaaaseee?” says Vitriol. I assume referring to the Dungeon. That reminds me of another awesome idea that Hector and I had, that I did not write down, I'm so glad. Um, fireplaces, fireplaces. We were talking more about how sets of items have affects and I don't know if this is how the fireplace thing got started, from that mob conversation. But anyway...In Indiana Jones and in lots of movies and things you have a fireplace and it's a trap door, and it turns around and you know-Oh no! There are Nazis, or whatever...Um, and then you turn back around the the house is still on fire...Anyway something like that would be funny to do with Psypets I thought. Were it would be triggered by having certain items on the mantel place. Like, that's what it was was. He was saying, 'What if you had all plushies...' If you got like something extra like a set of items on your mantel and so there was some extra fancy display. Like-Ha ha plushie mantel...or something, you know...or gem mantel or something. Um, and so then I was talking about what would trigger, this trap door thing. And we were thinking of what could possibly be behind that and should it take you into your Dungeon, like you hear the nosies of the terrible monsters on the other side of the- Then you pull a lever and it's just in your Dungeon. We were thinking of crazy things because that's what Hector is for. So, anyway, that- what I thought would be hilarious and I didn't write that down. Even if it doesn't take you to your Dungeon or something as worthless as that. It seemed like it would be fun if you could have a trap door in your library or if I had the library or in the um-in the Fireplace which I think-Anyway most trap doors only take you places in your house and that would be useless but that's okay because it' funny. Um, I don't know you tell me. *laughs* Uh, we need this fireplace trap door. And we also ya know, talked about it turning around and revealing random things two guys tied to a chair or a room full of Nazis, a la Indiana Jones or other movies, we couldn't think of other movies. Anyway what else to we got here?
The Traveller
The Traveller , “How's the go league coming along? I'd really like to see it.” I know I haven't worked on the go league. It's because it's a lot of programming and I'm lazy. I'm gonna take a bite of my egg salad sandwich. I'm hungry. *bites* Maybe this~ doesn't know about the go league idea. Maybe other people don't as well. Organized game run park events basically is the idea. Where they- So players would not be able to host go league competitions. The game would list go league competitions and it would be more regulated. It would probably have to be completely separate from the park page. A different, you know, tab or something. For um, I don't know what you'd call them. Not sponsored events, but something. Anyway, were pets would have a ranking like you do in actual go and I forget what they are. Don ratings, one don ten don. So anyway, and then the pets would do it as if it were a stratage game. Whoever won would go up in rank. So you have a go ranking. And whoever was in top place, I don't know, I don't know how you make money by being a professional chess player. It never made sense to me. I don't think chess players do ads for chess ads. I guess they write books. I don't know. Um so anyway, I think people would do it just so they would be like, the number one go pet player or go playing pet. Um, and so you know that was an idea. I like the idea. I just do things instead. What else we got here?
Vitriol
Vitriol is saying things “Dude, pets getting quests from other players? Like get me a paper airplane.” You wouldn't want paper airplanes obviously. And you'd have to offer a reward. Huh, I mean the pets are going to complete them on their own time. It's not an awful idea. The way that the quest system- they're already- there are two quests in Psypets if you can call them that. One is the when you got the WeTH. That WeTH item that conversation, that was a quest triggered thing. Like keeps a quest value happening and all this other stuff. And getting that pi figure thing. Whatever that golden pi symbol. That also had quest var- The quest system was at work there. Um, The quest system as I've programmed it does have room for players hosting them. I would have to do something different for that. It's something that a lot of people have talked about. Rainribbon, I think She's the earliest I can remember saying that she should be able to hire out her pets to construct for other people. Or contract other pets to build add ons to other house or something like that. And it makes sense for you know if Especially if, it would make more sense if you actually had to pick a focus and go with it. This is something else Hector and I talked about. And it's sadly impossible with Psypets because there are no limits. You can have as many pets as you want. You can have a craft pet and an adventure pet and everything else pet, and you have everything you want in your house and there's really almost no other need for pets when you get to that level. Were as in most games you have to choose a focus even if you're going to have multiple accounts. And that's the problem with Psypets is that it's so easy to get multiple accounts. You can take advantage of that. I would love to have it were there was a focus of people accounts like you made bread and you had the advantage of making bread that other people didn't have. Maybe because you have a windmill. So you could open up a bread making shop and could sell bread and that could be something that you and a few other people do and most of the people rely on, a service. I would love if that existed in Psypets. That kind of an economy. And it really doesn't because if I make anything that's specialization people just make two accounts and bah they have it all. Um, and I could do it with monthly items but I don't like giving an advantage to people because they have donated. Um that goes against, I don't know some sort of morals or something. Anyway, quest from other players. Alright let's see what else we got here.
Con the Dead
Con the Dead says, “Pets quests- Will we be able to tell which quests are more defeater oriented or inventor oriented? My defeaters won't ever make airplanes you know. ” Again you would choose the path presumably from an early level like as a level one pet. You would go to which ever NPC you wanted. The NPC that is the inventor or the NPC that is the Alchemist...Note there is no alchemist hourly activity so it's going to be a combination not necessarily tied to an hourly event or an hourly activity that your pets can do. It might be tied to multiple. Alchemy would be the hardest because you would have to be good at gathering the resources you have to have the intelligence to make the positions. So anyway you will choose what path you want your pet to take, is my thinking. And that will be it. Once you have chosen you want your pet to be an inventor. Like I guess you could say let you abandon it say never mind I'm not going to be an inventor any more. I want to be a gatherer because you decided that's more fun for my pet to do or whatever. But you will choose which path you want you pet to go on and there will be a series of quests based on that. Um, one pet won't be able to do them all and that is the point. Um, your pet will choose to be an inventor and it will level up as an inventor and will go off into the world to be an inventor and do that ascension thing that I was talking about. Um, but you'll get to choose which ones you want to. Anyway, let's see what else we got here...

“Perhaps for your next item excellent installment it could be zombie feed? Something like zombie conga line souvenir.” What are you talking about? “Zombie octopus tentacles is another item that could be found in the pattern or chest. Roasted zombie head on a spike as a new food? Zombie love juice as a-what a- I don't know what you're talking about ~
KSmall
Ksmall says “You're no fun Ben. I rly want that KITCHEN,” in all caps, “but I'll stop bugging you tonight.” Thank you you're too kind.
Born2Bwild
Born2Bwild says, “Is Hollow Earth still happening or did you give up on that or did you give up on that idea?” The Hollow Earth is still there I just don't think it's going to be explored in the same way. I think pet quest could involve things were your pet goes into the Hollow Earth but it's not going to be something you do. And I can make up whatever, you know, metagame kind of excuse I want. If it's not big enough or it's not safe enough. Um, I don't think people are going to go to the Hollow Earth. So, I have essentially given up on that. I would really...Parts of me still want Psypets2 but that won't happen. Don't ask me when it's going to, I really don't think it's going to happen. Cuz it's just me. Maybe when Psypets becomes big. I thought about trying to do that but it's a scary thought. To try an- Ahhh, it takes money. Anyway, what else we got here?
Vitriol
Vitriol says, “ Not the Dungeon door, the front door for pets knocking. You know what you were talking about last week.” Oh, pets coming and visiting was I talking about that? You're assuming I have a memory the lasts that long. Look at how many emails I've covered. How much is this? Is this? How many? Ah, this is 35 minutes long. This has been a really long broadcast. I've talked about a lot of things. I think I'm done. Let's see if we got any more mail. We've got one...
Con the Dead
Con the Dead, “Who's crochberry?” Con the Dead has said some crazy things and I don't know what he's talking about.
Last Words
Anyway I'm done. Um, I'm going to play a song. If I can find what song I'm going to play. And Um, ah, that's not what I wanted. Chu chu chu...If Megan is still here she must want to watch more anime so, I'm not going to be working on sites immediately, but you know I'll work on it later tonight and I'm going to eat this egg salad sandwich. The bread is becoming stale. I'm very unhappy but no one cares. Ah, what are we going to play? I got a new song recently. It's an 80's song because again it's been going on at Psy-..(psypets?) at Barnes and Noble so much...
