VPet General Thread

@[3D] oh i think modding is sick, especially using debug stuff...there's actually a lot of unused characters on classic minipix that are still in the actual toy itself, just hidden behind weird menus...and RNG manipulation is really cool too. i never really delved deep into it though because i don't have tech-y brain at all, so i'm really curious about hearing more.

ok, gonna start logging stuff for real now that i've gotten a lot of packages from people here on the forums- thanks to everybody who started doing stuff in my buy and sell thread, i'm really excited to start this stuff up. i'm going to start slow though, and not burn myself out running everything at once. this'll give me more time to try and bond with the toys that i got, no matter how simple or complex they are. 


first off, i'm starting my favorite classic minipix up- i know all the characters by now, but i keep coming back to it, and considering i'm selling a lot of these right now, it's a good opportunity to show people what the toy is like and what to expect


i rolled a lilmin to start, out of the three randomized options- get used to hearing "min" a lot, all of the classic minipix character names end with that. they didn't make pronoun generation a thing yet in the classics, so i just decided i'd roll with she/her for this one, just felt like the right vibe. the classics don't have a proper name input either, so i just decided to go with "sweetie"...i wasn't feeling really creative, unfortunately. 

i keep spending all of my camera battery taking product pictures for the buy/sell thread, so i'm just going to draw whatever characters i get and you'll deal with the terrible quality, i guess. maybe it'll be cute?

anyway...lilmin is basically a blob with a single eye, and it's pretty nondescript. some people say that they're based kind of on how concept kids look, which is kind of a neat factoid for you? in this baby stage, they're really needy...they beep a lot for food and attention, and you have to give them baths regularly because they love to roll around on the...i guess the floor must be really dusty or something, because the screen backdrop is just a little room. after about an hour or two (it depends on the classic generation), they'll go to sleep, and you'll get another hour of reprieve before they wake up and pester you a bit more before evolving into the child stage. i'm writing this in the middle of sweetie's nap, so...not much to report on yet. i swear though, i feel like she's more needy than these usually are- though it's probably just the fact that i haven't messed with a classic in a bit. no weirdness aside from that though, which is...unusual for this toy in specific. part of why i play with it so much is because of just how haunted it is. keeps the gameplay fresh, i guess? so...i dunno, maybe it’s worn off because i haven’t played with it in a bit. i’ll be damned if i know how this thing works.


i also popped some batteries in my favorite invaderz toy- i figure it'll be a nice desk pet while i handle the others, and will give me a chance to show off some gameplay of that, too. the first wave of invaderz all had the same creature inside, but subsequent waves varied it up a bit...we'll start at well, the start, for now. early on there isn’t a whole lot to do with these...more interactions open up as they get used to you.

...i may have forgotten how haunted this one is, though. the songs it keeps singing for me are way too slowed down, which shouldn’t even happen on this toy. you get used to it, but it’s still super creepy. 


finally, i'm starting up the basic bone buddy i got from [INK_AND_PLUSH]...it was really hard selecting which pet to start with out of all my new acquisitions, and i’m definitely going to get to all of them, but this one intrigues me so much with the whole double pet mechanic. i’m going to be kind of a weenie and start with trying to get a nice duo of pets, just so that i can see the “ideal” gameplay first. 


similar to the minipix, these have pretty simple baby forms...but they’re just skulls, which is super weird and kind of creepy. at first i thought it might be my ability acting up, because you never know, but after a deep dive online (and i mean deep, these knockoffs are not well documented) i found out that this is totally normal. i guess i’ve finally found a vpet that matches my typing?

that’s all for now, i hope this is somewhat entertaining, at least...i hope we get more people talking here soon what with all the trading going on!
