Exhibited Press - Comments

SO, I have some fun updates for everyone today!

I have listened to what everyone said about aging per day per login vs aging per day, and I've decided to come to a happy medium. You now have the option to choose which scenario you'd like. Aging per day will be aging, advancing etc etc as we know it right now. Aging per login, per day, will be exactly the same, except if you don't login that day, your dinos won't age/get hungry etc etc. Trials will still run as normal every day and upgrades will only decrease depending on what you've set everything to. Last offspring will decrease every day regardless if you login or not.

I feel this was the best choice as half of you were for it, and half of you were against it. This also helps loosen up some strain on the server when cron runs every night (less cron of it to run!) and I think it will suit everyone. People who can login every day and such can continue as normal, and people who are frightened they might not be able to login once a day can switch to this system. I believe this is part of what Exhibited is about - the flexibility of letting YOU decide how you want to play, and I hope I've kept everyone happy this way. :)

Everyone has by default been switched to on login and it's just a matter of going to your account settings and choosing which way you want your account to advance. This is all setup and working.

You'll also notice there's a VERY snazzy new layout for the main page and you won't automatically be logged out when you go to the index page anymore. There's also a "for parents" page which I'm going to write at a later date, to keep in compliance with US laws.

In lieu with the above, I'll also be adding a birthday feature which you will be required to set in order to keep playing. It'll be a two second click to set it and you should receive a cute present on your birthday (when I get it setup).

Bugswise, we've been doing okay. There's been a couple of major ones but I'm smashing them as we go along.

The chatroom is up and functioning still so make sure to drop by there when you get a chance. ;) It'll be a nice way to meet new members!

There's also a "test breeding" function at the bottom of your dinosaurs' pages, where you can enter in two IDs to see what sort of offspring they will produce. It will show you the colors and markings and the potential genes your dinos could make.

You can also now create a custom dinosaur for ten scales from the lab. This place will have all of the dinosaur species at once and is slightly pricey to keep it as more of a luxury item. It's not a necessity to create a custom dinosaur but it's there if you want to use it.

As of tomorrow everything will start aging, advancing etc etc. Fish will get hungry and die if not cared for. Fish will also begin to breed again.. Just to make sure you're all aware.

There is also a little facebook thing on the sidebar. If you have facebook and wouldn't mind just clicking "like", that would be great! The more people that hear about us the better. :D

Phew, that was another long post. I hope everyone's happy with these updates. :)

P.S. We have a new moderator. Everyone say hi to Griffel!
