Latest News: update to previous post
(this thread will be locked, because you should post to the other one, instead)
first: any kind of limit to the number of pets would not be a hard limit. the latest idea, in case reading all the posts is too much work (it is for me, sometimes, certainly), is that any pets beyond the first 'house size divided by 100' pets would be "inactive". these pets would not be in the house, like pets usually are. they would not eat, or have any other need. they would not do hourly activities. they would not participate in park events.
you would, of course, be allowed to rearrange your pets (as you can now), swapping out active pets for inactive pets. as your house size grows, the number of active pets would also grow.
I think this is a fantastic solution, and avoids having to make pets become unhappy, or anything else.
I have also implemented the suggestion of reducing litter sizes, but making players with Breeder's Licenses have pets with larger litter sizes than those without.
About PsyPets
In PsyPets you take care of strange (and cute?)-looking pets, chat with other players, prepare food, and collect rare items. Started in late March of 2004, PsyPets is still worked on, adding more items and features with player input.
PsyPets is not like other pet games:
- It's about how you raise your pets, and what they are capable of doing. You do not beat up monsters, your pets do. You do not find rare treasures, your pets do.
- It's a simulation. The pets' behaviors are defined by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, personality theory, and common sense. Your pets eat, grow, and give birth. They can and will die if not properly cared for.
- It's a place to meet other people and talk about whatever you want to talk about. (Just don't break the law, kids! Parents: you may lock your child's account out of the discussion boards if you so choose.)
Requirements to Play
In short, PsyPets is a web browser-based game in which Javascript and cookies are used, but Java and Flash are not. PsyPets has been tested to work on most modern browsers. For more information, visit the Requirements to Play page (on the PsyPets wiki).
And Hey
Thanks a lot for playing. It's great to see that there are lots of people that are really getting in to a game that I created 
Have fun.
