Ask the Admins! (Another round!)

Hey guys, we're almost to 1k posts..... congrats!  

To celebrate, we'll be doing a few things, but how about another Ask the Admins video?  
Leave some of your questions and we'll answer them~

I'm curious to know how you came up with Kasaria's creation story. Did you have any specific influences? And will we be seeing more of the gods in the game? Will religion play a part in the overall game?

And secondly, how did the creative team of Kasaria meet? You don't have to answer if you don't want to! I don't want to pry in your personal lives, haha. Just curious

Oh, nice questions! Those will be fun to answer

~Wiggles~
Surely there's some more questions? : O

Since we're short on questions, I hope you don't mind if we just directly answer it right here  Anyone is still welcome to add questions afterwards!

Kasaria's creation story actually goes a long way back to her early history! Back when Pepper used to play around with free adoptables software. Of course Kasa was nothing like it is today, but small bits of lore inspired the dev team to weave a new tale with gods, goddesses, and a deep betrayal.

The gods and goddesses left Kasaria to avoid causing the planet further harm, but... sometimes large conflicts like that don't always disappear  

Kasarians aren't very religious, but they do share a connection to their planet and the magical energy (ebb) that flows through it. They thrive through their respect for the planet and other life. Those aspects will definitely shape how explorers understand and experience Kasaria for themselves.

The main brains Pepper and Choco actually met in high school! It was through the forum VirtualPetList that other helping hands added their creative ideas to the mix to form the Kasaria we now have today. 

We also met our amazing main artist AmetAlias who gave Kasaria its unique feel and continues to create! 
And of course there's our programmer Abbey, who puts it all together  

Thanks for your questions

Thank you for answering!

Might be worth making a video of these anyway once you get enough, even if you've already typed them out. More promotional material for VPL and the like ^^ (Especially since it's been a while since you've uploaded to YT, haha.)

What exactly are pals? How are they different from companions? What purpose/function do they serve? Are there different types, like with companions? Can you interact with them?

Alright, I shall definitely consider that Kami! c:

I think I'll save your question for a slightly bigger update vs a simple reply here

Sweetness I'll try to think of more today if I can, give you more to work with ^^

Thank you, I would appreciate that! <3

(If any of these are explained anywhere, and I've either missed it or forgotten, my bad x'D)

What sort of features/things to do can we expect for the first day?

In what ways can we interact with our companions?

What kind of interactions can we expect with other players/other player's companions?

Could you expand on the 'jobs' feature?

Would there be a dictionary or resource for the language of Kasaria?

Those are awesome questions! C:
Might take me a week or so to get a video together, but I'll make it awesome! <3

Woot woot! And no rush c:

I was wondering, are you planning any kind of last fundraising, other than what is available right now, now that the site is getting closer to opening? I vaguely remember Kasaria having a Indiegogo but that was right before I was really aware of the site.

Perhaps trying out Patreon as it gets closer might not be such a bad idea?

Yes, the Indiegogo was ill timed, so I will definitely be pushing out another sale before Grand Opening! I don't want these items to be too exclusive, yknow? It'll be a great deal and easy assurance to get the pals and clothes now rather than after Kasaria launches 

Ah, that's good to hear!

Which actually leads me to another question (maybe you've answered it before in the past): will Kasaria have a cash shop, or memberships, or something like that? Or will you be funding the site on your own for now?

Thanks for those questions as well, Epi!  I'll finally have a good bit of content to chat about!
