[OOC] Wattplants General

[skinstealer]

yeah im glad that the commission thing helps you feel better now! i still want to open up forum cash avenues of funding things as well, but having some more design outlets for commissions that dont require me to do dex/wiki work also helps a lot...

i think considering it as "what would my characters want" would be really cute. right now for comms im considering
-wattplant species
-mini pet species
-customs of either (commissioned from "in-game artists" canonically in the case of one of a kind customs???), can be pretty much any edits but ones established in the game already will probably be cheaper

thinking like...you get to decide whether the pet is a Super Special One Of A Kind Custom or something your character was able to earn through the various game mechanics, i dont want to define things too much so i think having that wiggle room would be nice

i really like the idea of the colors on wattplants being individually modifiable! that's a really unique twist, and would encourage people to find interesting justifications for their simple color changed ones. markings would definitely be a rarer thing, with additional features such as horns/wings/etc being the rarest- and then people who get super custom stuff probably spent Real Money™ on the site or really busted their ass trying to get that one of a kind goodie.

personal aesthetics sound like the way to go- every petsite has people who go more into horror angles, and i think predatory/carnivorous plants in a morbit setting no less is ideal for people to make dumb creepypasta bullshit. pet pages and bios are definitely good for this, and some elitism in the community would definitely being Realistic, esp early on
