Adoptapals

How much do you plan to sell yours for?
Actually, I just might - They would both be great ways to easily practice coding. Actually, in the long run, it'd be beneficial for all of us.
If I get a job, I will. Seeing as I love the CG community too much to watch it fall anytime soon. (Lmao, I'll be that fan that stick around until the very last days of this place!)

Unsure on price. I usually wait and see how much the project has to offer in terms of features and then evaluate the price based on this later. I think me and Kenny are using $30 as the base price and then if necessary add on a little for the complexity. An actual Virtual pet site is long, tedious and complex so the price is obviously higher, but adoptable games are smaller so it'd cost less.

From the features i have planned, i think it could be around $40, $45 but i am not sure. I should include;

Essentials

• Homepage
• Login
• Signup
• Terms & Privacy Policies
• Contact Us form
• Support Ticket System
• Faq / Q&A page

Features

• Banks (Hopefully Interest Rate Enabled)
• Seconary currencies (For real money to help support your game)
• Obviously Adoptables
• Unlimited Appearances
• Breeding / Hatcheries
• Mood/Hunger/Thirst (For interactions)
• High score lists
• Adoptable Trading
• Random Events
• Obviously the paste codes for the adoptables
• Built in forums
• Player Profiles (Including Adoptable Lists, Rewards, Trophies, Galleries)
• Adoptable Profiles
• Custom Pages
• Personal Messaging Systems
• Buddy Lists

Side Panel Plugins ~ These go in the small left/right column as plugins

• Player info panel plugin (Shows Money/Banked Money and essential links. These can Enable/Disable from admin panel)
• Quick Login side panel plugin (Shows to guests only of course)
• Who's Online side panel plugin
• + Any plugins i release in the future

Special

• "Possible" Feature Maker..(If i do develop this it will be after Adoptapals goes on sale)

And obviously all the settings for this is included in the admin panel. There is probably more but i cannot remember all of it.

It doesn't really matter which one you get though, whichever one you get me and kenny get paid eigher way xD We're doing an income split, do even if i am the only one who develops Adoptapals, kenny still get's a cut. Reason for this is because if it's going to become a business/company, everyone needs paying. If CG makes enough i will likely employ Kenny full time for it anyway, but to do that, he needs to trust me as far as money is concered and this is one way of doing that.

Didn't you go to school for something that qualified you to do that a while back?

Hmm. WAIT! Then Kenny has to be planning on selling his for more than he has already stated. O_o His at least SEEMS more complex. (Don't kill me.)

I dunno. I like both ideas. But in the long run, I have to think about which one I'll actually be interested in. It'd be a waste on my part to buy them both, and figure out I don't have a use for one or the other. XD

Still, it sounds great! They both do! Darn you way too smart guys!

[LordDan]

Didn't you go to school for something that qualified you to do that a while back?

To do what? And it seems more complex because he's stated the details, i've only stated what will be available, not all the little details about each feature.

[Kara]

I forget what exactly. -thinks.- I might have my admins mixed up again. (Trust me. I have to stop talking to admins about coding, it gets confusing!) I thought you went to get qualified for something or other that had to do with...um...computers for lack of better terms.

And no, what I meant was, you said that adoptables were smaller, therefore cost less.
Whereas, Kenny's is going to be a virtual petsite thing, and will be more pet interactive. That's what I meant....Or at least, what I think I meant. O_o

[LordDan]

Oh, yeah i went to become a Qualified Business Administrator.. I passed within 2 weeks. The only downfall to it that i have is spelling/grammar so if i am replying to email or something i run it through spell check. If it's here on the forums, then who cares?

Kens is more like a Tamagotchi as far as i know, i think both of them are going to be quite similar in size, none of the two are anywhere near Petsite size. I'm not 100% sure what his plans are for it. But like i said, until i finish i don't know the price, but the base is $30.

[Kara]

Right! That's what you went for. XD I never could remember what exactly it was.

Right, his is more like Tamagotchi, and is based around the pets, instead of around the player. (The opposite of vpets basically.)
I never knew they were similar in size though!

Ah, Alright, so basically, if I save around $100, I'll be able to afford them both. (: Not too bad, considering how much it costs in the long run to get a programmer to code it privately.

-Considers the possibilities-
Edit - And your spelling and grammar isn't horrible. It's better than some people. -rolls eyes and pokes the admin on another site-

[Moonlight]

Sounds really good so far. ;o

[iRomany]

Thats an awesome layout Dan! Shame I am not aloud to buy anything online....

[LordDan]

Well it's currently on hold, I am finishing V-Adoptable's V2, and then continuing this product version to complement it.
