With some of these future blog post you'll have the chance to win a pet which will then find a home on a pixel art canvas. You decide if you want to trade, just collect your new friends or upgrade your pet's home. All trough the power of your comments. Take a look at the announcement post, here.
We have a winner!
Thanks everyone for participating! I used a random generator to chose the winner and the pet. I am happy to annouce that @plushzilla wins the new pet! Congratulation! I hope you like your new friend!
How to Play
You can become the owner of these cuties by commenting under this PXLPET blog posts. If your comment gets randomly chosen you'll win the pet and your username will be shown above its head. Congratulation you are a proud PXLPET owner! Your pet will from now on live in a lovely video which will be updated regularly. In case you win again you'll get one more pet.
Everybody who wants to participate has to resteem the post and leave a comment. You have one week to participate. After that week the winner will be announced.
Let's get started!
Hi @shoumi, thanks for your amazing PXLPETs and what they are doing to add something unique and beautiful to Steemit! I hope you don't mind but I wanted to tag #newbieresteemday and also let @davemccoy know about this so he can share it with his followers and spread the joy of your contribution to a few new comers on Steemit.
I do like the random process of drawing winners, but if I am lucky enough to win again you can give someone else the privilege of being a new PXLPET owner :)
Also, just wondering how we can use our comments to contribute ideas or create changes in the pxlpet world?
Hey, thank you! Any kind of promotion is highly appreciated! :) That's kind of you to give other participants a chance. I noted it! I can only say that I am thankful for any advice on game mechanics for PXLPET! And I am happy about every discussion on this topic. :)
Good job plushzilla!
I wonder if any of the pet owners have had discussions about how we can make the pxlpet world more interesting. Have you had any thoughts?
Hard to say, but right now I would wait for more pets being in the world.
Yayyyyy!! @plushzilla is here! And right next to me! Slothicorn on my other side. My pet is happy with all his friends. Meow!!! >^.^<
Even though birds and cats probably wouldn't be so close in real life, PXLPETs all get along with each other just fine :D
Party! ;)
Awesome, congrats @plushzilla !
Thanks. It would be great for us to give @shoumi some more comments and feedback to help make this concept even better :)
Yeah, for sure :)
Hmmm... one Idea would be a sort of in-post mini-game pet owners could play, maybe with it's own dedicated posts in-between selection posts ?
That or you could all have your own private PXLland, using that tool @shoumi used to create the platformer. Have you all voting on new additions to the environments, little competitions... :)
I remember murking through the code of the platformer. there was a mention in a code-comment telling me to say something like "onwards to code island" to be transported to the secret hacker/programmer island XD
I think those are great ideas! I was trying to think how this could link to steemmakers that that seems to be too much of a stretch :p
I was also thinking about how each owner could be provided with options each week for their pxlpet to interact with other pxlpets to change the environment as well. Or for people without pxlpets to vote on things that can happen each week with the canvas...
Maybe even have a hidden pixel on the canvas each week where a new pixlpet is hidden, and people can guess a spot on the canvas where the person with the exact or closet guess can win a pixlpet/item?
Linked with @steemmakers ?
Hmmm... I can't think of a direct way, except if @shoumi decides to go Maker on us all and tries to whittle or sculpt one of the PXLpet's hehe...
But I can think of ways to use PXLpet content in maker ways. when I get my pet I'll try my hand at making a 3D printable model of it for my desk XP
Your ideas are very interesting too, though I prefer initiatives like the platformer for winning new pets.
Random chance just doesn't give the same feel of achievement if you succeed XD
Or maybe have a PXLpet peek out from behind a bush in the background, and the first person who notices wins the "hidden" competition hehe.
Good way of getting everyone to watch the video till the end in the future XD
Guys, these are awesome ideas! I will definitely have a thought on this. One Idea I had is to implement I simple storyline. For example there is a pet which is trapped in a cage. Participats could now pixel an item which can unlock the pet. The user who pixeled the most creative item with the most upvotes gets the pet plus the item. Something like that. I also really wanted to make tokens out of the pxlpet trading cards. So the pets get are real value. But more informations on this part in the future. I am not sure if it works out yet.
Just thought you might want to add a #newbieresteemday and #newbiegames tag somewhere in your next post to get a few new comers interested in this project as well:
Omg thats so nice and cute
looking forward to get my own
Thanks for the details ;)
Good luck! :)
Congratulations @plushzilla!
It's fun to see the playground grow with every new pet.
Yeah, they become more and more! :)
Super cutee! <3
I adore these. Hope I win someday! w
You are definitely in with a chance just like the rest of us :) And we should help spread the word so we can get @shoumi to work on some more exciting ideas soon! Your artworks are also very lovely and it's great to see that you have also been very active with your contributions :)
Thank you! I wish you good luck! :)
PXLPET ๐ฑ is amazing!
It could be even more amazing if we contribute more ideas or suggestions to help shoumi with this excellent project :) I like the idea suggested by @pbock, but I think when there are more pets we'll have some interesting interactions soon.
Well, maybe @shoumi 'll add a short funny video from pixel-pet life with interactions between PXLpets. Like Animal Planet. Or some pet dialog "PXLPET says".
I am asking the raffle nicely. I would like a Pxlpet. I also want to design one myself using your style. Don't worry i am capable.
Congratulations @plushzilla...
I'll keep saying it until I get it but...
... kangaroo!
It's in the pipeline! :D But pets are randomly chosen. You know that? :)
I know... I know... but I still want it! I want that little kangaroo PXLPET in my life.
Hopefully there will be one in the future, but I'd be happy with a koala or emu as well :)
