We're gonna work on it! Once this becomes a thing we can start releasing minions through the same sort of ways that we release old items now, there hasn't been a huge reason for it up until now because they drop in value IMMEDIATELY

That's exactly what this is :)!

Also once this is released we can make it so that beating a minion drops one, and stuff like that ;)

We're working on the foreach error - should have something pushed in a few minutes! While you're waiting, you should check out the abilities you can assign to your minions (which will also get rid of that error ;))

that foreach php error has been fixed and all existing battles have been cleared (since it did not fix them retroactively). :)

the ones that didn't move have probably not had default stats added to them. at some point you will be able to move unstatted minions to your zoo, but not yet, sorry!

Mostly we really loved this system from NeuroGalaxy, it's a fast and easy way to get people interested in things - and we give out a lot of items this way because it's really, really simple!

they're not lost, you just can't see them because they odn't have default stats.

this feature doesn't touch minions that are attached to your pets.. but if you mean you took them off of your pets and added them to your zoo, it's possible they just don't have base stats yet, which (for now, but they are there) make them not show up in your minion zoo.

Wow, thank you everyone for trying this out so far! We've got a ton of usable data. I want to post a few notes before I go to bed, though!

  1. We're going to add a little more data to the page itself in the final version, but this won't be like the "regular battling" where you can see a ton of information.
  2. There will be prizes when it's launched to the site. Items, achievements, etc.
  3. The idea is that you will browse the site and be challenged by random event (or during an event by whatever) and click a button and it'll pop up in your current view, you'll pick who you want to fight, have the fight, and then keep browsing the site. I know right now it feels weird that you're just clicking on your minion and battling right away but that's so that we can collect a bunch of data at once.
  4. More information on the skills is a great idea, and we plan to add icons to make it clear that you're being healed, that your opponent is being hurt every turn, etc.

Keep testing and playing around with it! Where do you want your zoo displayed? We'll obviously have a link in the same place that plushies/trading cards/beanbags currently sit in your profile, but anywhere else?

<p>This is interesting, I don&;t really understand the point of it really but it&;s cute enough (I&;d still prefer to be able to attach 50 minions to a pet but, this is cute too I guess).</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>I do agree that I don&;t think you should be able to put more than one of any given minion into the zoo.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Minion &quot;Fighting&quot; Zoo sounds kinda corny lol, and it doesn&;t make much sense either because Zoo&;s typically protect and showcase animals (collect them, really) and keeping them alive is typically the goal not letting them fight other animals. I feel like &quot;Minion Hoard/s&quot; would be better suited because: a) animals trapped in human hoards typically fight, and b) when you have a ton of things in a place it&;s called a hoard.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Will these minions be linked/displayed to the outside world somewhere? Otherwise I don&;t get it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Either healing moves don&;t work or my Sparklefox sucks because every time I use any form of healing move it dies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Also why can&;t I name these 8(

ANSWERS!

  1. We made it this way because they level up a little bit randomly (when you level you get different stats boosted up, like in Pokemon) so you could have two of the same minion with a little bit different stats. We're also gonna make it so that you can name them - which will help this a lot I think.
  2. I agree, we've had the name minion zoo floating around for like... eight years.
  3. Yup! They'll be on profiles, I'm trying to figure out how to fit your strongest one into your user hover wtihout making it TOOOOO big, and a top score list for each minion ;)
  4. Bug, working on it!
  5. BACK TO NUMBER 1. We're making it so that you can name them :)!!

So what I want to focus on today is less of the battling aspect and more of the collection aspect. Getting these displayed somewhere, making it so that they are listed by category on the first page (so you know what basic abilities they'll have) and getting that sort of information in the item hovers if you hover over a minion around the site ❤

That bar is mana, and isn't really working correct right now :) We plan to have that page MUCH prettier and better marked up soon!

Bottom bar is for mana!

Yeah it really sucks because none of the minions on the site are transparent :(
