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.

Mura--Ian specifically asked if egg-hatching was too hard or not, and these people are answering.

egg hatching is to hard because we have school and the eggs die easily. please make it easier for them to hatch and stay alive

chatial • 25 Sep 2009, 8:07 PM

I don't find it too hard. I haven't hatched any eggs, but what's the fun if their easy?

kopakasheild • 25 Sep 2009, 8:21 PM

Keeping eggs alive is the hard part.

lillyann25432 • 25 Sep 2009, 9:06 PM

A. The hatching's JUST A LITTLE to hard for me. Since I've been on here for about a month. *shrugs* B. (Ok muramasa, here's a good...

lillyann25432 • 25 Sep 2009, 9:08 PM

sugestion. Now be happy K? ) Why don't you make it so there's different colors, like pink, orange, blue alkubs BUT you don't discover what..

lillyann25432 • 25 Sep 2009, 9:09 PM

color they are till they hatch? Just an idea.

geministar • 25 Sep 2009, 9:57 PM

great idea lillyann! id love to see colored hatches, especially the sort of all-one-color ones

dreamerofdreams • 26 Sep 2009, 5:22 AM

Lilly-That is a awsome idea!Especilly the Sparktails,little fishes all diferent colours!

jitteuh • 26 Sep 2009, 9:35 AM

luf the idea of lilly!

keyong97 • 26 Sep 2009, 9:44 AM

i want a colored alkub >.>

keyong97 • 26 Sep 2009, 9:44 AM

btw i think that when you go to someones profile the profile egg should get a click

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 9:58 AM

You know, actually, I think they're all fine. Actually, can you make a new egg that's not as easy as a flor but not as hard as a Drakomo?

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 10:00 AM

Oh yeah and, black and white spotted alkub ftw! xD

joy • 26 Sep 2009, 10:39 AM

http://tinyurl.com/y8h39j7 = My idea in image form, since it was a little hard to explain. 😸

Ian • 26 Sep 2009, 10:56 AM

thanks for the suggestion joy. this could be a database-intensive upgrade (gather feeds information) but we'll look into it.

atmbbwu5 • 27 Sep 2009, 5:03 AM

Great idea joy.

egg-cavern • 27 Sep 2009, 9:14 AM

feepitlover101 • 7 Oct 2009, 7:20 PM

Well I'm kind of new, but I think the update is awesome! It's kind of hard to level up my eggs, being new and all. I love this webite.

qwertyuiop • 27 May 2010, 7:49 PM

Ian! You said Egg Cave would alway be free, but now look! There is the Cash Shop Park!☹️
