Hello hello, Lavie here!
Welcome to the site, and I thank you for helping us test it out. There isn't too much to do now besides collect and craft, but with your suggestions and feedback, we hope to make the game awesome! I hope you understand the site is in early alpha, so it will be a little boring around here for a while until we start fattening 'er up with features. ;P
Thanks! Feel free to post introductions in this board!

Will active alpha testers be able to be part of the beta as well?

Will active alpha testers be able to be part of the beta as well? Yep! Same rules apply. As long as you are registered on the forums and your alpha account is level 5+, you can be a beta tester as well if you want. (:

Will active alpha testers be able to be part of the beta as well? Sorry for double post, but also I wanted to say, feel free to invite friends. Alpha tester active member count will have a cap. Not sure what that is yet, but I would say invite anyone you think would be interested and active before alpha registration is closed! Once the cap is reached, old, inactive accounts will be periodically deleted to make room for more players to join.

Alright, I'll see if any of my friends are interested! Also, will a player's id be affected because of account deletion?

Alright, I'll see if any of my friends are interested! Also, will a player's id be affected because of account deletion? Probably so. If an active alpha tester wants to request their account # back, I will make a thread for that before beta. (: There will be an announcement here (or permanent forums once we set that up) for alpha users to sign up to the beta site before it is opened to the public. Alpha testers will also receive some items as gifts (if they want) to get them started easily again into the game. Lavie edit: oops, I seem to have edited my answer into your post. I'm still getting used to these forums LOL. I'll split them in a minute. EDIT2: I imagine there will be a lot of lower number accounts open actually. So, I will let alpha users claim some of those before deletion.

Lavie Nice! So will there be separate awards for alpha and then for beta?

Lavie Nice! So will there be separate awards for alpha and then for beta? Yep! So far what I have (I haven't thought about it too much, keep in mind) are the following, and they are all optional depending on what the tester wants: Alpha TestersThe Summoners (name pending) Achievement - Only those who alpha tested the game in its infancy stage get this achievement. Alpha Beast Skin - A skin for a beast that only alpha testers can get and it won't be available ever again afterwards! Alpha Armor & Weapon - A special weapon and armor set that will be given out only to alpha testers, and never available again afterwards. Item Basket - A gift box full of some legendary and rare items! Lvl 100 Account - Boost an account to level 100. Possibly some other misc things that may depend on your activity level during alpha. I know right now it's a little empty around here so I don't expect someone to be on for even more than an hour a day, but as the site gains features as long as I see your account leveling and such you'll get rewards. Beta TestersThe Founders Achievement - Only those who registered on the site during beta get this achievement. Possibly other misc things. Beta Testers will get other, exclusive things like beta beast skins, beta weapon & armor set, etc depending on how much they donate to kickstarter, but every donation will get the Founders Achievement, including alpha testers who didn't donate but were active during alpha.

Wooh I'm super excited for this game, it looks like it has a lot of potential already! I'm already at level 5 and I think I might achieve a lot more than that lol. Can't wait to see more art on this site, and other species too!
Will the art of the pets be in pixels? (: Like they are right now?

Can't wait to see more art on this site, and other species too! Will the art of the pets be in pixels? (: Like they are right now? Thanks thornes! ^^ It will be a mixture of art actually. The beasts will have both pixel forms for in game things like battling, competitions, display appearance on profile, etc and a detailed drawing with background on their profiles. It will be in an aesthetic way though, so it won't seem weird and clash. Eventually I'll have mockups created of what I mean and I'll be sure to display them here for feedback. (: One feature we will have is "beast skins", which are alternate appearances for beasts. They will all have themes and some beasts may be grouped in themes together. So you might have a skin release of "The Cupcake Squad" (or something more awesome like Mecha Group) and it'll be for example a gryphon skin, fenrir skin, unicorn skin, and goblin skin that all correlate with one another. When a player applies the skin to a beast, not only will it change the pixel, but also the more detailed backdrop image on the beast's page.

Can't wait to see that in progress! This game has only some basic features online right now and I'm already enjoying it (hence why I read your message like 1 minute after you replied.. xD). I love the way beast skins sound! Will they be purchasable with in-game money/real-life money or craftable? Or might that depend on what 'skin' it is?

Some will be able to be purchased for in game currency in the normal shops, and others for second currency that is bought with real money. The second currency can be earned through the game as well though, so it won't be totally impossible to get! I don't want us to be "pay-to-win", but there will be options available for those who have the money in order to help fund the site. Sometimes skins will go on sale or even given away for free when the userbase accomplishes something awesome like a world quest together or gets a large amount of referrals in a month, etc. (:

Can't wait to test these features out! I just generally love sites where there is a possibility to collect, is Beast Summoners like that? I'm just like, if you were to add a maximum limit of 'beasts' we can have (for example something super low, like 6) I would immediately lose my interest xD
