I don't know a coder. Did anyone else manage to ask around for help with coding the website?

Umm... Well, with so many artists around, then I guess the art-stuffs is no problem. So it looks like we all stuck with the coding stuffs. I'm no artist, or a coder. But I do still have a little bit of coding knowledge. So.... I'm willing to join and see what I could do to help! (If I could xD)

I know of no one who can code, sorry.

Anything I could do to contribute to the website? It was a silly dream of mine to get a similar site up once I'd gone to college, which I haven't yet.
Perhaps lore? A description of each species and maybe a story behind the how they came into being? Might be cool.

The story and such I think will be set, that can be imagined after the sites founding. What we need are people who can code at the moment.

That'd be cool though, DeeR~ ^.=.^

Well I'm doing an IT course and hopefully joining a code club that the school set up (because the school doesn't have courses for it themselves, ugh) and I'll hopefully do an IT course in University. but That's 2-3 years from now so I'm no help. Plus, it'll take ages for me to know it all fully.
This is probably the hardest part in new site development. Finding a coder. :B

Weirdly, I perfectly know it's not the coding itself that will be hard, the problem is how to make an understandable code that someone else can take in hand if for some reason I stop working on it. But I kind of wonder if I'm not underestimating myself like always. Website development is the kind of jobs our Junior Enterprise propose to us. And I know a lot of people I can ask for help, even if I know they won't be interested by the website. But again, always that fear not to be good enough for the job.

if you have seen any of their work that might help you judge.

Well, just see what they can do, like Tsuki said.

I would absolutely love to see something like Dragon Adopters created! Personally, I wouldn't want another clicking site, those are getting quite old. I really enjoy(ed) how Dragon Adopters is(was) now(then). I wouldn't mind seeing all the dragon species from that site put on another, and some new dragons as well. I think that you guys (the staff) would be able to pull it off and make it an amazing community. If you do decide to recreate Dragon Adopters and need coding or art help, I have a few friends that are amazing at each c:
Again, I would really love to see a site closely similar to Dragon Adopters created eventually!
(Hopefully I am allowed to post here and if not I'll take it down)

We are not using dragonadopters dragons. We don't have the legal rights to do so. To be honest even if we were able to I wouldn't like to do that. I don't know Thaz well and I'd be worried about us putting so much work into it only to have him jump in and claim credit since he designed them.

And where would be the fun in that ? We can create our own species, and try to find out own playing system. Copying is boring. Anyway, haven't heard too much about it lately. What do we do then ?

Exactly! ahaha sadly I'm unsure of things because of the coding issue? I think a few people said they might know how to do some things? So I guess it'll be up to them what can be done and such.

I'll have to look at what I would need if I code this, but I've to say I don't really know where to begin ^^

So, I noticed someone on the DrA folder mentioned some things that could help, especially Mysidia which is kind of a base code for adoptable sites. According to their site, the base itself is maintained by their developers and there seem to be a community to help. I'm pretty sure that we can achieve something with some tutorials and a bit of editing !
Now the true question is exactly what do we want ? I thought a bit about it, and came up with some ideas I decided to toss here ^^ I mostly know two adoptable sites : DrA and FR. Both had points I liked or didn't like, but that's kind of a personal opinion. For those who play FR, I guess you probably know what I'm going to say : the possibilities of customization for the dragons are huge. So many colors, genes and apparels that make each dragon look unique - unlike DrA where a fire Western was just a fire Western among thousands of fire Westerns. However on FR you don't really attach yourself to the dragons, as you end up selling all the babies you got because of lack of space. That's the point I loved in DrA : you loved each of the dragons you got, probably because you didn't get a lot of those. So to combine the best of both worlds I simply was thinking about having a gameplay that lets you customize your dragon (for example through expensive tints) while keeping the low number of dragons you posses.
That gave me a bunch of ideas but I already would want to know if you agree with me there.

I think that sounds like a good idea yeah. It makes me think of neopets! We ARE going to do things other than dragons, no? ahaha this is going to be a bit hard though yikes

We could do different kinds of creatures. We could make it fantasy themed, so there could be mystical dragons, tigers, wolves, etc ~_^.
