#PCE Melody

[spacedoutwitch]

If I had a nickel for every time a virtual pet website held a site-wide item collectathon to try and figure out what's going on with their water god that introduces a character with multiple pronouns and winds up granting the players a new aquatic subcategory of Obtainable Guy during June, well. I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

hey I started Pixel Cats' End bc I saw you post about it and (if you don't mind answering some stuff) - how should the game be approached? just a little befuddled mainly at if I should be expecting cats to form relationships quickly-ish + if I should be buying pretty clothing at the marketplace or if it'll come naturally later

oh also [big round curious cat eyes] there are mercats??? how do you get them?

PCE is designed to be a fairly slow game when it comes to making a fully-fledged account- for reference, the developer's original estimate was that it'd take about 3 months for a village to fully develop, though that estimate has been brought down to around 6-8 weeks due to optimization and whatnot. it's meant to be played at a casual pace. check in once a day/every other day, do your dailies, maybe go on an adventure if you feel like it, check out at your leisure, etc.

your cats will take time to form relationships, but they'll definitely start forming them eventually! make sure to do the daily scenarios and keep an eye on the interactions your kitties have. you'll have a whole web of interconnected relationships with time. one day they may be strangers, the next day they'll be asking to have their third litter of kittens. i would know. i've been there. (if you want to have a relationship develop immediately and/or want a specific relationship between two cats, there's also a wide variety of craftable items that let you set relationships manually! these are also buyable from the open marketplace if you don't want to spend resources)

clothing is an area i cannot advise on. dress up your kitties as much as you want. the world is your oyster. go get em, not-tiger.

as for mercats, they're a little bit complicated. keep in mind i only have as many as i do because i've played PCE since before the end of beta testing, aka since the species first released- i got my first ever mercat for free as part of the launch event, same as most of the playerbase at the time. they're a recent addition to the game and thus they can be Pretty Expensive to get normally. they'll hopefully become cheaper with time as they become more and more common and more and more people get their hands on them, but right now the average price for a mercat on the cat trading board is-

....yyyyyeahhhhhh.

if you don't want to spend your cat game livelihood on beautiful fish kittens, you can visit melody and buy a sea of the soup to transform one of your preexisting cats at the low low(?) price of 100 essence fragments. nestor also has a chance to hand out mercats for free if you get lucky enough while visiting him.

overall? take your time with it! slow progression is normal, and dare i say, expected. dress up your cats as you see fit, and don't forget to go on an adventure or two just for kicks. it's a humble little petsim, there's no need to rush ^w^
