TriadCity Message of the Day
2022-06-19
Our implementation of Pets takes another giant leap forward.
You're now able to personalize and individualize your Pets using the same Customize command you use to modify your Player Houses to make them unique.
As we noted a while back, Customize is not a forgiving command. It has many options and requirements, and you have to combine them just right. This complexity is for your protection: if it's not doing what you want it to do, the command will fail without making unwanted changes. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that difficult.
To Customize a Pet, you have to be its owner, and both you and your Pet have to be present in the same Room inside your Player House. This effectively makes having a Player House a prerequisite for Pet ownership — that is if you want to personalize your Pets.
Each successful invocation of Customize costs one Reward Point. With Pets, you can tweak description, smell, sound, taste and touch, with variations for the alignment of the perceiving character and for time of day. You don't have to do all of these things: it's totally up to you how much detail in which you choose to invest.
We're not done with Pets, yet. Watch this space.
