It's been a bit over 4 years now, and I figure I owe an update to anyone who still decides to poke their head in here.

No, I (falcon) am not quite dead yet. In fact, I'm getting better! My very length list of to-dos is getting whittled down, and I'm finally in a position to make enough money to survive and not burn out my entire day doing so.

The site has, ever since I inherited it (and before, really) needed to be rewritten from the ground up. There are a lot of problems with it that just aren't fixable, and it can't even run on modern versions of PHP without horking up more hairballs than my cats. To that end, I started doing that over 4 years ago, and actually got a good chunk of the core system done, including making it more functional on mobile, easier to navigate, and more uniformly laid out.

However, the biggest thing this site offers is good art. And I am definitely not an artist. Continuing to provide new pets, new monsters, new collectibles, and everything else is going to require a massive amount of resources (read: money). This has always been the problem, and it's part of what discouraged me from continuing to pour more of my time into overhauling everything.

Now, for some of this I can use some packaged assets that I have acquired licenses to for game development. This would apply more to items. But new creatures and alternate morphs of the existing ones will require an artist dedicated to that. And I have a LOT of ideas on how to expand Cruithne and its different morphs.

At the end of the day, I really do want to get this site overhauled and functional again. But a part of me still wonders whether anyone would even still play it, given the massive amount of other games that people can engage in today. Do I dare hope that it could even be moderately successful enough to pay an artist or two to continue making new creatures and other assets? Is it worth it for me to rebuild and extend functionality to provide more in-depth quests, a better battle system, more worldbuilding, and an actual endgame to strive for?

These are my musings.

If people would like to discuss the future of DLP, or just hang out, I have created a Daylight Pets Discord server. You're all invited!

If you've heard the tale of the Velveteen Rabbit, then you will know that this pet just simply wants to be loved!



Please welcome the DokiDoki with their new, more fitting appearance! The DokiDoki have always been toys or puppets blessed with life and a lot of love to share but their old, spookier visages were a bit off-putting to the common pet owner.

Now the DokiDoki species can attract more friends with a much cuter outwardly appearance, and we hope you'll love them as much as they'll love you!

We hope you're having a fun holiday season, folks!

To make youre season a little more enjoyable, we hope you'll like some festive goodies to go with the holiday spirit! Two new books are now being stocked in the book shop, but only for the season, so hurry on over to grab one before they're gone!


If you'd like a little blast from the past, then these old items might be just the gifts for you! They've been re-released for a short time. See if you can find them in the shops!

Ambivalent, up late last night, saw a shooting star hit a rather large Nurro. This Nurro, being jealous of the recent changes in appearance, made a spectacular wish.



The new Nebula Nurro seem to have a fascination with the stars that grant wishes.

With a lot of help from Ambivalent, Professor Ng has finally concluded the research she has been doing upon the Nurro! They had hidden away, in caves and crevices, to work upon their appearance. The Nurro species as a whole decided they needed an entirely new look. Being unable to find them worried both Ng and Ambivalent.

Now, however, we have a lovely new rendition of the creatures! Meet the new and improved Nurro!









Active as ever, the Nurro as a whole hope that you adore what they have done with themselves.

How would you like a new weapon to better stab foes with? It's fiery, pokey, and packs a mean punch!
Head over to the rations machine to get yours!



How's that for cool? Um... I mean hot!

Also, the Halloween items which were released for this year have been retired along with the items that were un-retired from previous years.

Happy Halloween, folks!
In celebration of this fun, spooky time of the year, we've released a few new ghastly treats for you and your pets! These are available in the shops and we hope you enjoy them!



Those looking to complete their collections might want to keep an eye out for some old Halloween items as well!

Hey, you! Yeah! You!
I know you want a cool new companion of the draconian breed for your pets!
Head on over to the Ration machine to tame one for yourself!
