Let's make a petsite/avatar site

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 12:09pm

This would be pretty fun to do. I have the arty capabilities such as making items, avatar bases, graphics and website layouts for this, and I have been speaking with Arti and he says it's a wonderful idea.

We need the programmers too as Arti will be in charge of y00z.

Anyways, we need ideas of the style and theme we want this to be if we want to be successful and make many moneys.

We haven't decided if it should be pixel based or CG based (like Subeta.net)

Let us know if you'd like to help us out, and supply us with some examples of what you can do.

We would like this site to be unique and not just another copy of Gaia or Neopets. My idea was that players can have the choice of a chibi styled character or a normal figure.

Once everything comes together, we need to think of a suitable title.

Important Info
Our chosen style - CG
Title - ???
Theme - ???

Item examples - ???
Avatar bases - ???
Website designs (screenies) - ???

I'll help. What I'll do, I am unsure. I know a lot about business though.
Any way, thought: so you need it to be different from gaia but still avatar based. What if you took the old rpg style interface and used on a forum site. Specifically I'm talking about pulling the window and art style of this

and then placing over a forum. In this case the pace where there is text would be for users to post and the screen would just be the forum. The customization of avatars would be simple layering of images. You can then use the chibli style art in a more "3-d" aspect like old video games for a "Towns" sort of interface. You could also go the extra mile and create a game with in the "Towns" system that is simple rpg. You can gear the forum more towards video games rather than anime and you've essentially got something "new".

I guess you could incorporate items from actual games too. :p That would be pretty kick-ass, yet you'd have to be careful about copyright.

Yes I have thought carefully about that as you can get sued and allsort of trouble.

@Coffin that's a great idea.

I'm just designing the front page if the site atm

**Google** · 08 Jul. 2011 03:54pm

I would like to help. My skills are basically anything related to business or marketing.

I can somewhat design or code but I am not passionate about those..

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 04:48pm

We would like some businessy people to help out, so you and coffincase can do the businessy markety stuff

**CL0V3R** · 08 Jul. 2011 04:55pm

We had this discussion a while back. Matt says he refuses to help program any "weeaboo avatar site".
So we might have to get that past him first. Honestly if we do a avatar site it might be a good idea to step away from pixel art and do something more tinierme-ish / CG based.
Since really pixel avis are sort of a dime a dozen now.

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 05:04pm

Why have we got to ask Matt first?

I'd rather do CG based stuff as it's easier and less time consuming ;o

**Ethan** · 08 Jul. 2011 05:15pm

I think you guys should get a shit ton of things together and then ask him, make it look like it is easier for him to do. That's just my opinion.

I am willing to be your #1 user. xD
I am so useless. </3

Well considering he's one of the site programmers with out him that would really only leave chad.
At least that was the concern last time.
Unless alex is cool with doing the programming?

I'd rather do CG since I can't pixel well. Lol

08 Jul. 2011 05:31pm

I could help with spreading the word about it when u guys publish it on my facebook. twitter, Myspace (lol) and more places i uset to get on or do.

Yeah Alex is willing to do it, we can brew up more programmers if we can, if anyone knows any good ones ;P

CG would be best I reckon as we can both draw well in CG XD

Ah just didn't know if alex had the time for it, but if he does awesome sauce.

I agree with this plan.

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 05:35pm

Yes

It'll be like Subeta without the pets, and totally different... but same in a way that it's CG based. xD

08 Jul. 2011 05:41pm

I can do beta testing

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 06:11pm

Oooh I've only just noticed your idea rofl. Please do so when it's done, Monster

**Google** · 08 Jul. 2011 06:40pm

Wait, I am confuse now. I thought we are going to make a pet/avatar site on a different domain? (Not on Logicalgamers.com)
Matt said he wont do anything like that on LG.. However, he didn't say anything about on a different domain

I think he meant in general since he said he hates "weeaboo fags". XD
We could always ask him though. c:

**Google** · 08 Jul. 2011 06:49pm

Lol, true.
I seriously think it should be on a different domain tho..

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 06:56pm

Yes it'll be on a totally different domain.

**Google** · 08 Jul. 2011 06:59pm

Then I am in...

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 07:00pm

Good, gooood

We just need more ideas...

**Omlett** · 08 Jul. 2011 07:10pm

I could help design individual items : x

not the best at full body art but i could probly do singles

plus im creative.

**Louphoria** · 08 Jul. 2011 07:16pm

If you want Omlett, do us some trial item designs fully coloured? Remember, it's CG!

**Ethan** · 08 Jul. 2011 07:36pm

Title: Louphoria.

I really do think it'd be a nice title.

**Chad** · 08 Jul. 2011 07:50pm

Arti has been developing an avatar site of his own for the past few months. Starting a new one wont do much help.

It's being linked together with our help. He doesn't mind, he's mainly looking for artists such as myself.

**Omlett** · 08 Jul. 2011 08:43pm

CG is computer generated right? D:

Gaia gets away with straight up infringement on a regular basis "One Wing Soldier" and shin-whatever nobody are blatant. I think as long as your not exactly replicating things you're good. I think you could get very tongue in cheek about video game references like Kingdom of Loathing and really generate some popularity. Phonics down - TheKolWiki I literally play this for the references.

Has a ring to it.

Lol <3 My user is just an edit of Euphoria. Euphoria sounds better

@Coffin it depends on what you're copying. I guess if you ask the person's permission to take something I guess that could be allowed.

To me, it's all about uniqueness - making a new start in the avatar community.

**Louphoria** · 13 Jul. 2011 02:08pm

I am making progress on the front page ideas. It's going pretty slowly though. Had to make some of my own photoshop brushes XD

**Ethan** · 13 Jul. 2011 05:14pm

Nice! I never had to make my own brushes.

So you are titling it Euphoria?

**Louphoria** · 13 Jul. 2011 06:08pm

We don't know yet. A high possibilty. It's a good name in my opinion. I've always liked the word XD

**Ethan** · 13 Jul. 2011 06:46pm

I wish you luck on the site Lou! As I said before, I would be willing to contribute activity on the website once it's up as I am useless when it comes to the creation of a website. <3

**C0FFINCASE** · 14 Jul. 2011 01:29pm

I'd stick to a variation on the word. Euphoria.com sounds like it could be a lot of things not related to what your doing, unless what your doing is porn or sexy toys or a spa.
Whatever the focus it take the part of the word that is most descriptive stick it to phoria. Or use a pun like Uphoria or Youphoria. (Marketing, I does it)

**Louphoria** · 14 Jul. 2011 02:18pm

Youphoria seems pretty cool. I guess we could use other words.

Euphoria in terms means happiness, ecstacy and I guess in other terms... pleasure XD
