HEY ALL!! GUESS WHAT?!?! IT’S THE AMAZING @raxinite‘s BIRTHDAY!

Did some changes and then inked her. She’s now sporting her new design! Finally. Funny how she went back to being really birdy again after going scaly sharkdino. And the brown and blue colour scheme makes a return too with slightly different shades (quite different with the blue though). I also applied a papery texture. Bit of a callback to the initial gryphon design.

SPILL THE BEANS. DO IT.

It wasn't anything special!

So the habitarium was some kind of idle game where you'd hatch petpetpets and keep them happy so they would drop gems worth 500 NP each.

At least I THOUGHT it was an idle game. It sure looked like it was designed to be an idle game and it played like one, too. So I did what I used to do with idle games: I never turned my pc off.

Anyway I made FAT bank with it, the petpetpets were shitting out so many gems it started lagging my game. The gems would stack on the map, but not visually, so I could click each gem 10-20 times before it would disappear.

Eventually I kind of forgot to harvest the gems for a week or so. I checked back to find that the game would barely run and there were gems (and dead everything) on every conceivable spot on the map, and I could indefinitely click random stacks of gems for neopoints.

Slowly but steadily, it kept lagging more and more over time as the gems accumulated. I don't think they programmed a limit to how many gems could spawn in one spot so it just kept going. There must have been hundreds, maybe thousands of gems on that map.

Eventually I received a neomail from TNT telling me that I was not going to receive a warning or ban, but to PLEASE STOP playing the game because I was messing up the backend, probably because of all my game data, and it massively slowed the game down for other players.

I don't think I was the only one who played the game like that. There must have been other people because they eventually added a rule against idle playing.

hell yeah!!
