Creature Profiles v2.0

September 19, 2009 at 9:36 PM

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Do you think it's currently too hard to hatch eggs and/or level up your creatures? Please post your response to this blog post; we're considering re-adjusting evolution points for each species.

Egg Cave's newest update involves CREATURE PROFILES!

Your creature's profiles have been completely redone with exciting new features! First off, they've been more streamlined and look a lot more like your regular user profiles (with a couple of exceptions, nonetheless). They don't look so boring and bland now! Actually, the old creature profiles (that just went offline) were from 6 months ago, back when Egg Cave was in development and barely operational! At that point in time, I can't exactly say I was concerned with the design. :P Time for an update, 'eh?

Secondly, you can now add profile text for each and every one of your creatures. A whole 500 characters! If you're a writer or just like dreaming, add a little "backstory" to your creatures! Where did they come from? What adventures have they had? It'll make things a lot more interesting and exciting for your friends to read! To update your creature's profile text, go to their profile and click the script_edit.png button. A text box will appear, where you can edit your creature's profile.

Third, eggs/creatures can now be fed REAL food! A little message/blurb will also be displayed (directly from the egg) after each feed (i.e. "Mmm! Yummy!"). More food concoctions will be released later! :)

Fourth, due to popular demand, Egg Cave now tracks the last 5 feeders for each of your creatures (excluding guests/non-registered users). This will help a lot of people know who actually *returns* feeds. ;)

UP NEXT: Adoption agency!

Thanks for being a part of Egg Cave.

I think that i you have an egg that it needs (i think) 5 feeds a day. the next stage needs 3 a day en then the next stage 2 and so on.

jitteuh • 22 Sep 2009, 2:05 PM

okay maybe you can't follow me. I mean that by each stage it would be better that the number of feeds would degrease. or something like that

jitteuh • 22 Sep 2009, 2:05 PM

Man! my english is bad!! πŸ˜ƒ ^^ lolz!!

luzal • 22 Sep 2009, 4:18 PM

I totally agree with qwerts!!! πŸ˜‹

thunderbug9000 • 22 Sep 2009, 4:23 PM

what does ec stand for

kopakasheild • 22 Sep 2009, 6:51 PM

Yes, what is EC? I noticed that too. Is it possibly a type of currency for Egg cave?

kopakasheild • 22 Sep 2009, 6:52 PM

Yeah, adults shouldn't have to be fed. They should be able to cook for themselves.

kopakasheild • 22 Sep 2009, 6:52 PM

And I only think that Flors and Drakomos are too hard to hatch. Everything else i fine. =D

_neokinzpet_ • 22 Sep 2009, 7:45 PM

That's cool! What is the 100 EC on the top of the page?

geministar • 22 Sep 2009, 8:21 PM

i just noticed that too kopak and neokinz ^^ maybe we'll find out soon 😸

valiant_link • 22 Sep 2009, 9:03 PM

Hmm. Maybe it stands for egg currency and we can buy stuff somehow

geministar • 22 Sep 2009, 10:29 PM

judging from ark city, we'll probly buy magic, food, and medicine!

chatial • 23 Sep 2009, 12:02 AM

Well... I'm just waiting for the Adoption Center :'D

cprather • 23 Sep 2009, 12:38 AM

OH I KNOW EC stands 4 egg coins like money u start off with 100 EC

guardianofthedragon • 23 Sep 2009, 1:37 AM

I wonder how we earn the Egg Coins.BTW Thanks for the amazing updates and evolving eggs may be hard but thats whats makes this site adicting

trerisa • 23 Sep 2009, 7:39 AM

i dun think the eggies should die if u dun feed them i think tat we should be allowed to um... abandon them yeah,.

kopakasheild • 23 Sep 2009, 8:11 AM

Yeah, and if your egg dies you have to pay for the funeral. And when your egg hatches you could get like 25 coins. xD

pendulum • 23 Sep 2009, 8:24 AM

I'll comment more later Ian. πŸ˜ƒ I am at school, and I am pretty sure I can get in trouble if I get caught.

klemicat • 23 Sep 2009, 11:13 AM

ooh egg coins, are they shiny and egg shaped?

niunia885 • 23 Sep 2009, 11:40 AM

I think there should be a way to feed more than one egg at a time... the constant opening and closing a web page for only one egg is a bit

niunia885 • 23 Sep 2009, 11:41 AM

tiring ☹️

theworsterpunk • 23 Sep 2009, 2:16 PM

leveling is really hard! i think it should be shortenedπŸ˜‹

pendulum • 23 Sep 2009, 3:35 PM

Hey Ian and the many other egg-cavers. Thanks for the update. O_O The food is awesome, and I think you should "slightly" adjust when... -c-

pendulum • 23 Sep 2009, 3:36 PM

You can hatch your eggs. Like Lament. -pokes- He can't breathe! And I can't wait for the adoption agency. YAYAYAYAYAY. Time to make a...-c-

pendulum • 23 Sep 2009, 3:36 PM

Storyline for my eggies. HAHAHA. 😊

pendulum • 23 Sep 2009, 3:43 PM

Since there is so many comments on one update...Ian; you should consider forums. Regardless, this site would be awesome, with or without!

xfyrebritex • 23 Sep 2009, 4:36 PM

I think pendulum is onto something with the forum idea. xD I think it would be a bit easier for people if they had a place to chat. (:

axiste • 23 Sep 2009, 6:12 PM

lol @ paying for egg funerals. haha.

kopakasheild • 23 Sep 2009, 7:17 PM

Yes but no huge forums, just like an egg cave discussion, random chat, and egg hatching forums.

keyong97 • 23 Sep 2009, 8:32 PM

EGG COINS I WANT SOME, that would be really fun

keyong97 • 23 Sep 2009, 8:32 PM

and paying for eggs funerals as well!

keyong97 • 23 Sep 2009, 8:33 PM

-goes to make a story line for all of his eggs-

chatial • 23 Sep 2009, 11:53 PM

Egg Funerals FTW

soupnazi • 24 Sep 2009, 11:49 AM

Thanks for the update! I love giving my eggs descriptions! I think it should be easier to hatch eggs, it takes a bit too long right now.

klemicat • 24 Sep 2009, 11:56 AM

two things, one forums would be a great idea and two so is the feed-more-than-one-egg-at-once idea. Perhaps u can go to one page with all

klemicat • 24 Sep 2009, 11:59 AM

of the a types it can fit on - eg alkubs and aerlos. you still feed seperately, its just on the same page

klemicat • 24 Sep 2009, 12:08 PM

oh by the way Ian, a you rock, b why dont some eggs evolve with levells?

kaynara • 24 Sep 2009, 12:14 PM

I think it is a bit hard to hatch eggs, I had (it died) a Drakomo egg which had thousands of views but only about 70 clicks. It needed 300.

kaynara • 24 Sep 2009, 12:14 PM

It would have taken a very long time to hatch it. :/

atmbbwu5 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:11 PM

I love the ideas of the egg coins but are they only for egg funerals and stuff or can we buy things that will allow our eggs to get like a

atmbbwu5 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:13 PM

boost in a stat or something. Also, I think a story line sounds fun and is a great idea.

atmbbwu5 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:18 PM

by the way, has anyone stolen a calla egg?

smartie2742 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:37 PM

I think there should be more of a significance with egg levels. I mean, there's really no point of levels right now. There should be some ..

smartie2742 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:37 PM

..sort of award or something for having high level eggs. Like, maybe when one reaches level 1000 it gets a ribbon for it's page, or ...

smartie2742 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:38 PM

.. if we do get a forum, we can get special avatars for a certain egg reaching a certain level. It'll also be good for fully evolved pets..

smartie2742 • 24 Sep 2009, 7:40 PM

because once they're evolved, the fun is gone and people are only feeding it to keep it alive. Just an idea. 😊

cprather • 24 Sep 2009, 7:53 PM

................................<.>v<.>.....................

valiant_link • 24 Sep 2009, 9:11 PM

What about a pet battle arena where adults can fight (but not die if they lose)

keyong97 • 25 Sep 2009, 7:18 AM

I think that clicks are just to hard to get, like getting 125 or 300 or 750 is just too hard, i think that they should be easier to get,

keyong97 • 25 Sep 2009, 7:19 AM

like if someone goes to your profile the showed egg gets a click or something
