This is seriously beautiful. Just. So amazing. I can't even express how much I love it. You guys did an amazing job.



I'm just here flying off the deep end.
I'm just here to become the best yet.
I'm just here for the psych assessment.
I'm just here for the, for the...

KRYPTO THE SPEECRETS HAVE COME FORTH
IT IS A DAY FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS
IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY TO BE CELEBRATED
8/15 NEVER 4GET

I'm seriously so excited it's beautifulllllll ;0;
One thing I noticed that's a little annoying though, when I visit a page (like go to the mammals and go to the second page and click on a critter) and then try to go back to the page before, it automatically returns me to the first page of that section. This happens when I hit backspace or when I click the little button at the bottom of the page. owo; Just something of note~ I absolutely love it, though!!! <3


I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there.

I know that with this burning passion driving me
Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!

I also pointed it out, and it's intended to be this way. Saves space, if I understand what Kreepy was telling me. We'd have to host the information on separate pages, and all sorts of backend coding stuff.

-Sobs- This update is beautiful and perfect and I'm crying right now just so pretty and the updated pets just omg so much love just ahhhhhhhh. ;3;


You can't wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think there's a flaw in my code
(Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
These voices won't leave me alone
Well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold

Are you deranged like me?
Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers 'cause you'll never take the blame like me?

When I saw the silhouettes in the mod's avatars, I figured a big pet revamp was in the cards, but I didn't foresee this! Impressive. D: Thanks for all your hard work dudes!

I will make a couple of critiques and suggestions, though...

SUGGESTION ONE:
Would it be possible to add a tab to the individual pet sections that showed you all the colorations of one pet at once? At present, it's a bit tedious to go through all the sections for one pet if you just want to look at the colors and see at a glance what's available. If you just want to compare the different looks for a pet, it takes a long time to do it as-is, and one of my favorite things about the old site was how you could easily look through all the pets of one type at a glance. Plus, for those of us who don't usually visit the IIRC and didn't know where to look, it made hunting for the new freebie pet kind of like hunting for a needle in a haystack.

SUGGESTION TWO:
Actually, a "New pets!" tab that showsthe stuff that's most recently been added would be really handy and useful. D:  

SUGGESTION THREE:
Would it be possible to have another tab that lists all the evolving pets? Seeing all those in one place was cool, man, cool.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Ahh, I see I see. Thank you Shrewdie c:

I absolutely love love love the new pet updates, homg. I really think this is going to get everyone back into the free pets rather than just playing with the expensive guys, haha. X"D

Just in reply Freezie, we're not done with the site by any means, as Baal said in the front post. World is slated to cover Colors and the Evelon Map. The front page with easy links, news posts, new pets has been designed but not coded in. We cut these things since I need a break from this project, bc I haven't had one in probably 3 years, and there's plenty of other site areas that need my attention right now.
We kept the update vague so you guys could do some hunting around, and learn the new site, rather than just beelining towards the new things and not reading the new descriptions or checking out heights and weights, stuff like that.
As for Evolvers things, we will never go back to the old system. It just didn't really make sense. The old site is accessible through the shop links if you want to go back via that way for now. I'll consider the all the colors at once suggestion but it would be tedious on some of our bandwidths and there's obvious constraints with the page layout.

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Just out of curiosity, what would the new pet be? I've been looking for it and haven't found it yet :)

This. This is magnificent. I LOVE IT! <3 Y'all did an amazing job. :D

And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

Man it is GORGEOUS! Seriously it's great! Kreepy you did an amazing job, so amazing!
The site is beautiful~ amazing and gorgeous and just... yes so much yes. I can't wait to see what comes next but I am BEYOND pleased to see everything here. And the stats! I will be adopting a few common colours I think. uwu

The revamps, both full line and the colour revamps done, are incredible and well overdue. It's fun just to click through everything.I never knew how badly I needed a saffron tali until today. XD

It's a little hard to give you guys a complete run-down of what's been released so I'll try to cover as much as possible. I've even lost track of the new stuff, since we've been making content since 2013. There's also a loooot of Purine/Imperial pets that might be kinda a nightmare to track down too but the search function is your friend.

Revamps
Garudor
Mocha Picchu
Morloth
Trumpetter
Rollaby
Tali
Torken
Alluria/Pingune
Leawolves

New Pet Colors
(Excluding Revamped Pets, most got new colors, stating the ones that received the most new colors)
Choopa
Lohlani
Wockee - Special Wockee in honour of America passing Marriage Equality
Batti
Slynx

Tweaks
Likuta
Carpetfang
Hydrolisk (See Bleached/Saffron)
Sheilupe (See Chaos/Cursed)

Lore things
Evil/Purities are species, rather than individuals now
All pets have new descriptions and are polished up so it's more based on facts about the pet rather than old wives tales. Also written to read like a field/research journal so it's safe to assume these facts are common knowledge.
Think Sprites are removed from Evelon

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

So...who should we contact if we want to get codes for the revamped versions of our pets?
Crossing my heart
Open wide
You're my crystal and clover
All of me
Honestly
Is dedicated to hold you

Swear to God
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you tonight? (Ahh ahh)
Why waste time? (Ahh ahh)

'Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn't matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I'm melting into you
'Cause I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms

You will get them in due time. Either we'll put up a topic where people will request their new codes, or we'll just send them out to everyone who has the pets in question.

Oh, I know things are a work in progress, Kreepy. I just wanted to list some suggestions. You guys have done great so far, and it makes the site a LOT more visually appealing and attractive for someone just wandering in. Plus, listing the forum-only pets on the main site seems like a good way of enticing people in. :D

Also, a question! Since Gold Garagnirs and Slate Garagnirs are now mentioned on the main site, does that mean that they can be evolved at Evo-Lux? Also, some of the Lubshis which haven't been announced as evolving yet (like the Imp and Paras/Pachy Shii/Lubshi/Shinzo) are shown as evolved... is that via Evo-Lux too, or something else? D:

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
