Neopets Island Builders Closed Beta launch?

[Raylu]

i've had access to this for about a month now - are they releasing it for everyone now, or is it just a new wave of testers?

either way i don't hate the game, though i don't love it either. the pacing is a little awkward, but some of the neopets and characters actually look pretty cute.

What? Is this the same one with the weird Dacardia name? Did they change it?

Turns out I did get an invite, just was looking in the wrong email. It feels like all of the mobile games that I see ads for but I have no interest in playing. Outside of having Neopets in it, it doesn't feel very Neopets-y.

This actually looks really cute to me!

Lol I've browsed the Introduce you segment and not once did I see someone younger than 20 years old.

this is super cute! but it gives me the vibe that they're going to transition some of the on-site content into this graphic style for some reason lol

Honestly I'm obsessed with Dacardia Lutari and Kougra. Those models are ADORABLE I think the game looks surprisingly decent considering what other new projects they have going for Neopets right now. The stylization of the world and the Neopets is consistent, which is impressing me most, because often that is what puts me off Neopets spinoffs and updates. It kind of reminds me of the Treasure Keepers art style (the cute smiling Negg in the UI menu bar especially does), which I loved. Hope I get to play it soon, since I haven't gotten into the beta!

I think they had said on discord last night that they had just added 600 new users.


The kougra is just so cute.

I love how I've been an active Beta tester for everything they've launched since L&L and I didn't get an invite. Booooooooo TNT, Booooo!

What is the goal in this game? Would it be something you recommend trying once it is officially released? I gotta say that kougra is pretty adorable.

I have volunteered as beta tester on absolutely everything they tried to launch but are obsessed with ignoring me.
I am very excited looking forward to this release. It looks quality, I want to play something worthwhile and last more than a year.
