so first off is battle animation! so i was thinking something along the lines as every 5 levels you go up, you will see an animation of your sylesti doing something like fighting a bandit, and it must be epic!

second is more ways to interact with your sylestis! so i was thinking like an animated version of your sylesti that you could feed, pet, groom,and put to bed. for those of you who know pokemon aime when you interact with your pokemon, maybe something like that!

third is decorating your house/den! there would be many different types of houses and interior decor! and your avatar would be in there maybe! maybe you desided to settle into town, build a tree house, use magic for a sylestial room (something like roses room from steven universe) or a motor vehicle! dont forget their are many more possibilities!

some interior decor could be~

potted plant

chairs

couches

tv

lamps

table

kitchen supply

bed

and more! and if you have a certain role play or lore, you can always get different types of furniture like~

rainbow

nature

steampunk

royal

bandit

and more! so you could get a flower lamp! that would be under nature, or maybe a throne under royal! it would be your choice! you could also mismach themes :3

do you like it? i understand if no, and i would love to hear from you guys!

Some kind of battle animations would be cool.

The other pet animations you mentioned (along with battle animations) would add more to the site but the cost and time it would take would be astronomical, and IMO not justifiable for such a simple feature. With all the species and their varying traits, there are hundreds (of not thousands) of possible trait combos for each species, plus with millions of color choices for each trait.. not sure how they'd even go about animating them all.

As for player housing, it doesn't matter much to me either way but I believe this was one of those things they want to do eventually.
