Let's re-invent Neopets!

[Croc]

If you are a 90s kid like me, you probably remember spending hours a day on Neopets.com
Over the years, the site has changed for better and worse, but in recent years, the site has remained untouched. It looks the same as it did in 2008. Still not responsive and still no mobile app.

Thus the goal is to re-invent Neopets for the new generation of kids using modern languages and a mobile-focused layout.

However, I can't do it alone. That's where you talented people come in!

So who's with me?

I had a bunch but my account got deleted because I didn't add a new pet in over a year

Ikr, it was stupid.

I LOVE neopets, I have like 10m coins when I used to do potion sniping and selling. It was a good time.

Need people to do initial character/pet designs and make some simple Javascript-based games.

Gonna be real this was well before most people on the site but this shit was a major part of my childhood. Neopetz then club penguin then webkinz, Nickelodeon universe etc. I'm willing to give whatever resources needed for this project whether that be from my game design or marketing background.

We definitely need some talented people to develop simple web-based games that tie in with the {Virtual Pet Site Name} REST API to award points.
