My favorite option by far is making exploration more versatile, because to me that is the most enjoyable part of the game.

Wow, I can't believe mutations will be in the game! That's so exciting! Thanks!

Hm, I accidentally voted for species instead of explore. Oh well, excited for all of them! :D

New species are always exciting, I can't deny that. All of these ideas would be great additions to the site though.

For the new species, I'd love to see some kind of cephalopod - especially cuttlefish.

They are all great features. I voted for new species because I would love to see what ideas you come up with. But I also think that the new colors and random mutations would greatly increase the quality of gameplay. The explore is also nice, you could implement building new portals to new types of islands. And each "type" has unique resources.

I do think that random mutations could contribute a lot to the game and it is a fantastic idea. Especially if any modify colors!

Ack!! New pets. I have so many ideas swimming in my head for those. I just want to sketch them all out.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we had more areas and locations to explore (that had to be unlocked to various degrees of difficulty). Except on these locations there could be a rare and exotic species you could encounter. You would have to do battle with this creature and "capture" it. There are similar interfaces on other websites where you can use things like nets or tranquilizers to capture a weakened pet. We could have some sort of moon-esque world and there could be a great wolf creature that inhabits it (personally I would love a Fenris like creature inspired by Norse Mythology). Or we could have a swamp world and we could find hydras. Or a clouded world where we could find little glowing fae critters. A deep jungle could house exotically patterned serpents. A desert area could have interesting goats or other hardned animals.

These creatures would obviously be quite rare (not sure if they should be breedable, or if they should be breedable by certain circumstances (which oould get into a whole new layer)). You could hire a catcher, which would fit with the existing game play, or simply have the catcher assist your pet as he battles and captures the creature.

I should go to bed before I start thinking of even crazier things. o.0

If any research is needed on Mythical critters I'd love to assist. It has been a fascination of mine for quite some time! :)

 As Timain says though I am super happy that the public's opinions and ideas are being considered. This is fantastic and I love how unique it is compared to some sites! Thank you.

All are nice, but I prefer trying t make the species we already have evn more varied with genes. The least would non-inheritable mutations...it's a breeding game after-all.

I want all of the options to  happen, but the thing I'm most interested in is the introduction of a new species~ I'm curious to see how it will turn  out :]

I think that non-inheritable/random mutations would be a fantastic addition to a breeding game. Things happen in real life and can have profound good or bad effects. I think something like this could make our breeding system more accurate to life. Mosaic very tactfully explained how it could work. I would be rather excited. This could add a whole new dimension to breeding and pet rarity.

New species are fun, but I enjoy when they are introduced in tactful ways that work with the story line. ^^ I would love them to be introduced with explore to ramp up the exploring system (welll, it's one idea for adding a new dimension).

Personally, I'd like to see exploration become more versitile. Although new species would be fun, I just think that we'd need a wider range of environments before new species, or mutations where brought in.  That way, more room and ideas for new features could come. 

They all sound like really good options to me. Personally I would be fine with any of them!

I'm going with explore, that would be so cool!

personally i would love a water type pet species. we have land and air type, but no water. i could definately go for a water dragon or hippocampus or unagi or something :p

New color genes would be okay, though I'd prefer other types of genes instead of colors. In particular, I think there should be more sense genes: Poor Hearing and Deaf just seem way too common...

My vote goes for explore, though. In addition to new biomes, it would be nice to see some variation in island sizes..

Amen to all.

OMG I honestly want all of them sooooo bad I know that the land thing stuff is most popular but I really don't care for it as much
