Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Beast Summoners is a brand new, upcoming pet adoptable site with a unique twist. Players (called "summoners") can only obtain pets by gathering specific items and summoning the pet from a scroll. Scrolls and items vary in rarity, and to obtain certain items you will need to collect, trade, and barter for them. The main source of items is a mysterious, arcane waterfall where summoners gather to grab the items as they fall. Be quick! Not only will items disappear after 30 seconds if not grabbed, other players can grab the same item you are trying to get! We are accepting a limited amount of alpha signups, and you must be active to stay on site (lvl 5+ and signed up on forums)!

Posted December 12, 2016 Signed up! Can't wait for bird monsters! Welcome welcome! Bird monsters you say? Will gryphons do? News We have our first official creature! This beast will be here to stay, though it may get an art rework in the future since I admittedly rushed its design. Anyway, say hello to the Inugami! It requires a Severed Dog Head, 15 Steaks, 1 Rare Scroll, and Water to summon. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I was wondering why there were so many severed dog heads in the river! ...but honestly, why are there so many? Edited December 12, 2016 by serce2 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2016 I was wondering why there were so many severed dog heads in the river! ...but honestly, why are there so many? How many have you collected so far (or seen)? I may have to get my programmer to tweak drop chances. (: Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2016 I've caught 4, but I think this has a fair drop chance. I'm meaning, who's killing all of these dogs Also, are steaks supposed to be rare? I've only seen 2 (did not get) since the Inugami update. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2016 I've caught 4, but I think this has a fair drop chance. I'm meaning, who's killing all of these dogs Also, are steaks supposed to be rare? I've only seen 2 (did not get) since the Inugami update. Yes, steaks are rare. I think also once we get more legendary items, you will see dog heads less since the script chooses between only a few legendary items at the moment to drop. Once there's more, it will have more to choose from, and less chance of picking the dog head. That's why steaks might seem more rare than the dog heads when they really aren't. The script just has more rares to choose from, so it's not always picking steaks to drop. Hope that explains it well lol. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2016 This is a pretty interesting concept. I signed up, and am now slowly acquiring an army of chickens. This sure is a thing that is happening. Do we have to post regularly on the forums to stay on site? I'm pretty antisocial and usually don't have much to contribute (and I'm also put off by the mandatory binary gender options, but that's another matter). Share this post Link to post

I'm pretty antisocial and usually don't have much to contribute (and I'm also put off by the mandatory binary gender options, but that's another matter). Thanks! Make sure to keep those chickens safe, we'll probably have some fox beasts soon. You don't need to post in the forums, just register. I understand being antisocial since I am pretty antisocial myself outside of the internets lol. As for gender options, feedback is always appreciated and taken into consideration for any feature we currently have. Eventually there will be humanoid avatars you can equip with armor, clothing, weapons, etc which is why I included gender options. If you'd rather not post in the forums, I'd encourage you to PM me directly if you have suggestions you want to share. I will admit I am not very knowledgable on gender diversity and definitions, so maybe if someone were to fill me in a bit I can make some changes. (: Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2017 Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I'm excited to announce that we are very close to adding some new features to the site! We are working on bugs and making improvements on our dev site before release. This feature release will focus most on user interaction. We've added: - Currency - Shop - Trading - Live Messenger & Global Chat - Follower System A lot of our features boast live notifications whenever a trade, message, etc is received. (: Once the update is pushed for release, we will be that much closer to beta status. If you haven't joined yet, do so now before it's too late! beastsummoners.boards.net/ Share this post Link to post
Posted February 6, 2017 BSums has pushed live its newest features, - Live Messaging - Trading - Shop & Currency - Followers - Beast Stats & Changes - Home page w/ news! - Improved crafting - Other minor changes Head on over if you'd like to see these exciting features yourself! We still have about ~20 alpha spots open. beastsummoners.com/ Previews: Share this post Link to post
Posted February 18, 2017 I signed up and the site is actually displayed quit nicely... I wish we had our own shops where we could buy items from other members and such, that would be a nice idea! I like it so far though, and I can't wait to see how it develops as time goes on! Share this post Link to post
Posted February 18, 2017 Just joined! I find the concept pretty interesting, still trying to get the hang of how everything works Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Shadowfang, (Hydrofang?) ahh thank you for the compliment! We are going to have user shops in the future. ^^ andromedae, I've seen you around! Thanks for joining, glad you're liking it so far! Edited February 21, 2017 by non Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Changelog 0.1 http://104.131.103.184/home/news/4 Info: - Long descriptions on items in your Inventory should no longer stretch off the screen. Now you can easily read all of our horrible jokes. - To fix the item and beast duping bug, a small cooldown has been added when crafting. You'll notice your mouse gets X'd out and the craft button becomes unclickable for about a second or two. This gives the system time to generate the new item and prevents users from abusing it. - A suggestion made in the forums for the user's currency to display in the shop has been approved and added. What's Next? We've successfully released our newest features to the site and promptly fixed any issues along the way. We now have a really nice chat/message system, trading, shops, a way to earn currency, and let's not forget our beasts now have randomized stats! We still have a little ways to go before releasing our kickstarter and transitioning to beta status. No official dates on that yet, but it may be sooner than you think! I've hired another temporary artist to join the team. His name is Bo and he will be making us some lovely official beast images. I'll be sure to release some teasers as I have receive the images! Our next major update will be called the Beast Update, and as you can guess, will be centered around beasts! We will have more beasts, more items to create these beasts, updates to some sprites, and of course the official beast art will be incorporated into the game in some way. I'd rather release a big, polished update than randomly releasing things here and there. Much more organized (and exciting) I feel. As for programming, Nik and I will be focusing on fixing any current bugs and getting smaller suggestions added. Eventually we will also add some smaller, "fun" features to the site, so that users have more to do! Hope you guys are as excited as I am to progress as an upcoming game! And thank you for the continued support! Edited February 21, 2017 by non Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2017 Sounds like there's a lot to look forward to! Can't wait to see the beast update myself ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted March 8, 2017 New Art Previews! As mentioned previously, I hired a new artist to make us some awesome official artworks of beasts. All 10 images I ordered are finished! They won't be added until the "Beast Update" has been completed and released. This update will add 5 new beasts, a bunch of new items to summon said beasts, a small change to beast profiles (so you can see the lovely artwork), and few other minor changes and bug fixes! In the future, we will have a feature called "skins". Basically you can craft, purchase, or receive through other means (questing, gifting, etc) alternate-form versions of beasts. Some will simply be colored different or have other minor cosmetic effects, and some will be super rare with completely new looks or poses that will be transferred to both the beast's sprite and digital rendering!
