I'm sure there's artists there who'd be happy to contribute. I feel really sad every time I come back here I'm the only person online. :/
Agreed, I kinda started giving up hope around the time they stopped doing holiday pets. It was nice to have something to log in to and a reminder that the staff is still working on the site, but at this point it's been over a
year since we got a single new pet. If they can't manage to release one pet over the course of an entire year, it really doesn't give me high hopes for the site. The twitter/dev updates have gone down to about 2x a year and they don't feel like 5 months worth of progress when they do get posted.
We don't even know what's going on. Everything is happening behind closed doors, we don't have any sort of roadmap for what's been done and what still needs to be addressed. At this point it's starting to feel like either the site team took up a project that's too big for them to handle, or they just don't care anymore. It's especially frustrating because we had a functional, fun site that was put on the backburner to rebuild from the ground up - but instead of this ground-level coding work quietly happening before launch like it would for a brand new site, we're sitting around and watching the community slowly die off as we wait.
If the team needs help (be that more coders, more funding to hire more coders or pay for the site, etc) they really should start reaching out for it because at this point I don't see them ever finishing it the way they're going right now.
