if anyone's heard of the 90s computer game "petz", I'm doing an Artists for Palestine-adjacent program where if you show me proof of donation you can buy in-game creations from me.

So if you want something like one of these...

...or dozens of other things I've made as a virtual pet to play with on your computer, download one of the games and then shoot me a message to sort stuff out. Links to the free download, my portfolio, and the official forum thread (not necessary to post in, but may be of interest) will be in reblogs since I'm not sure if all of the links are clear for Tumblr searches.

if you're not interested, please still reblog! this is my only major creative outlet and I know it's niche but I've already had people donate for it so I know there's potential to make a difference.

Just a quick texture and addball ring project that's been on my mind lately. I'll probably make an alternately colored version of it with some more black and white and maybe wizard texture but I really wanted some warm oranges and tans in the first one. :)

I have bred even more beautiful alien creatures. These ones are various combinations of tbh, chocobo, munchkin cat, and zott.

I personally am smitten with the tiny bird-footed cat. I've named her Stella. New favorite freak of nature.

This is blatant jingle ball erasure

ADOPTED

Here is based’s official up-for-adoption post! This sweet boy loves to play fetch as you can see in this clip and brings the toy right back to the cursor (as you can’t see because of a glitchy offset cursor).

He likes red, pink and orange toys and gets along well with other petz.

Once you’ve adopted one of my petz you can do whatever you like with them provided 1)you don’t just delete the file and 2)you don’t remove my name from the file

Other than that, go hog wild

Send me a message on Tumblr if you’re interested in adopting

As always, the standard weirdoz disclaimer applies: Adopt at your own risk. Inbreeding is extremely likely. Eyelids/fully attached body parts/other traits not guaranteed. Passing traits on is not guaranteed.

....find and replace is a thing

I had been hexing out my irl initials by hand.

.......

I feel really dumb 🤦‍♀️

It's going soo much faster now, like, you would not believe! (Also I've decided that any 150+ family tree is getting trimmed)

[mad-scienze]

EDIT: based is now ready for his forever home! Adoptables master post coming soon

Oops sorta forgot about this account 😅

Currently working on getting some adoptables ready.

When I first started playing, I just used my actual irl initials as my owner name and so I'm going through and hexing out all of the owner name's on all the ancestors in the .pet files and replacing it with Dra (for the first three letters in my username- Drakkensdatter) but uh, making weirdoz ends up with a lot of ancestors.

So, it's taking a while...

In the meantime, here's a picture of the first one I'm working on. His name is based.

Hit me up if you're interested in adopting this goofy boy*

Feel like shit

Probably won't be doing petz stuff a few days

[mad-scienze]

Currently working on a new website and html & css is a lot of work, apparently /sar

I'll get there though, I'm making progress 😩😅

[mad-scienze]

Made a new playscene- Aperture Labs - now available on my website (look in the pinned post)

Are your petz urban explorers? Then this is the play scene for you! Long since abandoned, Aperture Science Laboratories Enrichment Center is the perfect spot to bring your more adventuresome petz. Whatever experiments were done there seem to have left the soil fertile and perfect for growing flowers, potatoes- whatever really.

Thoroughly abandoned, the place is guaranteed to be completely safe* as long as you watch out for rats and mind the gap.

What's that? Killer robots? Oh, no, don't be silly. Those are just rumors...

*the words "guaranteed to be completely safe" should not be taken as any kind of guarantee that no harm will befall you, your dog, cat or other pet, your representative, their dog, cat or other pet or any other entity who voluntarily or involuntarily enters or uses the aforementioned area. Aperture Science is not responsible for any negative consequences of entering or using the area including but not limited to: anxiety, bodily injury, spontaneous development of synesthesia, spontaneous development of antenna, existential horror and death

The mother (a spinosaurus from Carolyn:s Creations)

And the father (an ant from polygondwanaland)

And their children

And here is a family group shot (this is to scale, btw)

Probably gonna be a bit before there are any more updates, actually. I'm running a pretty high fever. At-home COVID test came back negative though, so that's good

[mad-scienze]

New weirdoz pics incoming soon

Found gyiyg's ant breed on polygondwanaland and I just had to breed it with some of the other wildz I have

I must say, I got some stunning results 😏

[mad-scienze]

New website is officially live! (well ok, it’s been live for a bit, but I’m ready to share it now)
