Interest Check! Cat Interactive Adoptable / Game

Hello! 

This seems awesome honestly ! I'd love to be part of this~! I'm totally up for alpha testing ! :D

I have no faults I can find, everything is so well done ! I love the fault system and the showing system most, it makes everything well balanced and not overly perfect! this is very simple yet complex and sounds interesting and fun.

Also if you ever need I can make some bases for you. 

I have a realistic style or a cartoony style!

i'll add you to the list for testing! and i'm really glad you like the system! i was trying to figure out how to make it a strategy game while still adding randomized elements to it, i'm glad it came across well

I'll give the handbook a look over after dinner, but regardless I'd be interested in testing!

i'll add you to the list! i'm excited to hear what you think c:

Ok! So I've had a chance to read through things. I have two points really I'd like to mention

1. It might be nice to give the point values tied to stats. For example, how many points is a perfect head worth? 10? 20? Without these values, I don't understand how you get the max and average points a cat can earn in a show. They seem incredibly high and I currently don't have a way to figure out how they get so high.

2. In your equation to calculate show results, you have essentially stats MINUS bonuses. I feel like it should be more like body stats + bonuses - faults, just for clarity. I know in the end it works out the same, but reading a bonus as a negative value can be confusing.

I hope that makes sense, but really providing examples of a cat's stats and how it may perform in a show with those stats plugged into that equation would help me understand how that works a bit more. Otherwise I think it looks pretty good!

@4264 alkervah

point totals are hidden on purpose, since you don't really have exact numbers for real cats, however i will say that the point total on body stats is a percentage with perfect being 100 c: there are a lot of percentages and bell curves going on in there

faults/bonuses/deductions is combined to get one number. i'll modify that to make it more clear, and change the subtraction sign to addition, i just didn't think it would be too much of a problem since it would be the same result and everything's going to be calculated with a spreadsheet. i generated a couple of fake cats to test the showing equation and to see if it worked, but i've since deleted them- when test shows get running, we'll have a lot of examples though. the only thing i'm really concerned is going to need tweaked is focus tbh

thank you for your feedback and i'll work on editting the equation!

Gotcha, gotcha! I am a very visual person, especially when numbers are involved, so I mist have missed the percentages thing. And yeah, I guess bell curves would be a bit tricky to plop in there.

I'm sure I'll get it figured out once things get going, it definitely looks like it will be a good time!

this sounds really interesting! quite complex, but still seems pretty fun. :o i'd consider helping to test, so just ask and i'll decide if you need testers :D

I'm gonna take a look through your handbook, but already I am extremely interested in testing for you. I'd also love to provide the lineart/coloring- heres an example of my WIP Doxie Dragon Adoptables with many variations available to give you an idea on quality ^^

If youd wanna discuss it, feel free to PM me <3

we're coming to the end of testing with the algorithms looking how i want them to, otherwise i'd invite you to the discord. i expect it'll be done within a couple of days unless something goes horribly wrong with litters. that being said!!! the game itself should be up and running in a few weeks, once i get visuals together, and i would really appreciate feedback on the handbook if you're still up to looking over it!
