Welcome to
Project Kumos
Rebuilding Subeta for the next 20 years
Hey there! Subeta has been around since 2004. That's over 20 years of memories, friendships, and virtual pets. It's incredible, and we're proud of what this community has built together.
But here's the reality: our codebase is also 20 years old. We're running on an operating system that requires paid security updates. We're stuck on PHP versions that no longer receive patches. The technical debt has piled up to the point where adding new features feels like playing Jenga with a skyscraper.
The Journey So Far
2004 — The Beginning
Subeta launches as a small virtual pet community. PHP 4 is cutting edge. Nobody knows what a smartphone is yet.
2004–2024 — Twenty Years of Growth
Features stack on features. The codebase grows organically. Workarounds become permanent. But the community thrives.
Now — Project Kumos
We're rebuilding from the ground up using modern technology, taking everything we've learned and applying it to create something better. Not just a facelift—a proper foundation that can support another 20 years of growth.
The Team
We're a small team, but we're dedicated. Every week brings new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
We've been testing with a growing group of community members who've been invaluable in finding bugs, suggesting improvements, and helping shape what Kumos is becoming.
Thank you to everyone who's been part of this journey.
What's Coming
We're rebuilding each feature with care. Some things will look familiar. Some things will be better. A few things might be different—we're fixing old design decisions that didn't quite work out.
