Welcome back to Pet.Net! We've gotten some really great feedback from you guys after the recent public playtest, and want to do one final update (with a new feature) before we focus completely on finishing the game up.
Playtest Update
The biggest feature added is the new "idle mode" to let you progress a bit while inactive. This combined with furniture will let you choose how to play the game - active or passive play!
This is just the start, so let us know how we can improve this system:
There are also many many other improvements, along with new minigames. Try them out and tell us what you think!
Changes:
- New feature - Idle Mode: Unlocked after evolving any pet for the first time, set your pet to surf the web and increase their maximum attribute limits! More unique tasks are unlocked as their attributes are raised.
- New minigames: Tic-Tac-Jo (Magic) and Drub-Jack (Smart) have been added as training minigames! Both are a work-in-progress, especially Drub-Jack which will have a twist eventually...
- Gacha Rework: The gacha machine has been visually overhauled, and new accesories / borders / cases are now unlocked here!
- Arena Rework: The arena has been redone completely, now in rounds of 4 with pre-made pets. Still needs some balancing and possibly more...
- New Pets: There are 6 new pets to raise across 2 element lines.
- New Accesories / Cases
- Pet Paradise: Click on a pet in Pet Paradise to interact a bit closer with them! The internal logic of Pet Paradise has been redone to be more consistent (expect bugs here), and there are a few new buildings to make.
- New Traits
- Much more... (i forgot)
Your saves should carry over smoothly, but if they don't let me know!
Playtest Signups Ending Soon!
Signups for the playtest will be ending at the end of September (2026), if you want to try the game out, sign up before then!
Any playtesters with current access will keep that version until shortly before the real thing comes out :)
If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so on the store page by clicking the big green button:
Demo
A free demo for Pet.Net will be available sometime after playtest signups end. It will obviously have less content than the full game (or even the playtest), but some things will be unique to the demo.
We hope you'll still try it out (and give it a good review!)
As always, let us know what you think in the Pet.Net discord server, or message me (Will) anywhere you can find me (all links are on the store page!)
