I did. Thanks! Many years work, started out in 2013 and still have a ways to go. Takes longer when you are a sole developer and especially if you can't focus on it full time. But I do enjoy working on it and releasing stuff.

My admin account on there is Brittany (real life name), although Anoua is claimed too, but it's a test account and I don't really log into much since I tend to use the admin account for testing recently. But it's not a big deal to use me as referral or not anyway.

Marapets is the only other pet site I play on. I have been there for 12.5 years.

Hey, I'm a bit stuck? I don't know how to get my first Elon.

I also recommend Eliyo, it's is very fun. I also recommend BeastKeeper.

How do I get Elons?

Hey guys, sorry for the slight delay, I did not get on here all the time anymore because I am so busy.

To get your first elon you'll have to complete the introduction quest and get one from Clayton. Clayton is found in town, click Explore Eliyo on the navigation, and he is under the 'Visit Clayton' link that has a compass.

Once there he asks you to help him out be delivery goods to Dallin at the Adventurer's Hub. So once you accept Claytons quest, head over to the Adventurer's Hub, also found on the explore and it's icon is a white prism.

Once there on the right hand side there is an option you can select, can't remember the exact wording for it, but select it and there will be some dialog. At this point you can head back to Clayton and he'll have a new option to select your first elon. There will be a choice of 5 to pick from.

Once you get your first elon you can get more through capturing them in the wild or other players. Breeding is an option too once you get a second elon.

Hope that helps!

I just joined today and got my first creature. Pretty good so far. The battle system is nice and simple too.

Oh, no worries. I actually just had to log back in, and the tutorial popped up.

Anyways, I've been enjoying the game! The systems so far are pretty nice.

My only complaint is that it's not easy to get gold from my experience, and so it's hard to get prisms which cost quite a bit, and they may not work in the end, so I'd recommend maybe lowering the prices a bit or making it easier to earn gold.

Otherwise, I'd rate it a solid 8/10! A few things here and there, but a pretty nice game.

Also, just a question, I've always wanted to make a virtual pet website myself, so how much does it cost? I'm only 13 at the time, but when I'm older, I'd love to make one.

It's easier to gain gold once you get a little higher level elons. Though it is meant to be a little bit of challenge to gain gold when you start, as it's not easy going from poor to rich in Lavinth ;)

But I am working on some more updates which will include more ways to earn gold and so will help when you are starting out a bit more. The main future is a going to be a more explorable town specifically Lavinth which has a lot of features tied to it. A daily hidden individual you can find for different random loot, quests, some small mini games are the ones that come to mind for earning coins.

Glad you like it so far though. Spent a lot of time on it so far.

Making your own site is not easy. If you aren't doing the programming yourself it would be pretty expensive, how much just depends on what you want. But thousands would be normal. If you do the programming yourself, then it costs you in time instead. The same with art which also costs money or time.

Other costs or things that take time include, actually designing the game, writing, managing, advertising, marketing. Still it can be a lot of fun too, and it's really neat seeing your idea come to life and having other people enjoy it.
