Flight Rising Discussion

There were these two websites, Evosaur & Mythaura, that were supposed to launch years ago that would've been pretty similar to FR, their sites are still up but I'm unsure if they're still being developed.

Neopets is the closest as far as games I’ve played enough - but mainly in that it’s a casual game where you have pets you can dress/alter their base appearance, a huge variety of items to collect, and a largely user-run economy. But, the site now isn’t very newbie-friendly, as they’re really hurting from Flash dying and the site’s current owners not being willing to put in the resources to improve it. The staff it has are slowly getting it functional again, but with half the site in one layout and half in another, it’s not something I’d suggest playing for the first time right now.

On the topic of Lioden/Wolvden, they are solid games, but I wouldn’t put them in the same genre as Flight Rising other than very surface-level. They’re more appealing to the crowd that likes improving virtual animals through multiple generations rather than collecting and customizing them. Death of old age is a thing in these games - you can save their appearance a couple of ways, but you can’t breed them indefinitely. Although there is an active user economy, so there’s a similarity there.

I was part of the Beta testers years ago and I've been on the site since it's official open launch and I have nothing to do. I had nothing to do within three months on the site. Once you work through the story, which is a long haul drag with a lot of clicking, fake roadblocks, and choices that seem to matter but actually don't, there's nothing to do. Sure, you can collect one of each pet. But the pets don't do anything beyond boost your stats by a paltry amount. They are not unique. The skin/accent system on the site is atrocious leading to no reselling, no market, and if the designer decides they want to, they can revoke your access to the skin at any time, or if they leave the site their skin is dormant forever. If you want to change out skins on the same pet, the old skin access is forever lost to you. The gameplay loop is non-existent. The focus is on the avatars of your character, not the pets. The avatar system is pretty, but very overtly feminine and childlike, and the layering is wonky and limited. For me, I felt like I could make one outfit and then that was it, because anything else I tried was wrong. The NPCs are endearing but they are shallow, and the end of the quest for the last currently open town (ocean) was very troubling morality-wise but they are currently (apprently?) rewriting that section. The staff is also very horrible with transparency, and the only things to come out recently have been cash shop additions and little else. [/quote] not only that, quis is a horrible person who stole psds for her own profit.
