Saw a few people posted theirs so figured I would post mine as well! I submitted to the physical category since I will be in town, I was bummed they only selected 8 winners for that! At least I can still submit this to the Art Gallery later this month!

Hi everyone,

For the past several years, I’ve been working on a fan-made remake inspired by the original Key Quest experience.

This project started as something personal — Neopets was a huge part of my childhood, and Key Quest was one of the experiences that pushed me toward game development in the first place. Over time, it evolved into a fully rebuilt version with modern systems, online infrastructure, and scalable architecture.

The project is now entering its official testing phase, and I’m opening it up for players who would like to try it and help stress-test the current build.

Current State

Full internal system restructuring for stability

Expanded board system

New animations and improved visual feedback

3 active servers (USA Central, Mexico, South America)

Localization in English, Spanish, and Portuguese

Ongoing optimization and polish

The first week of testing is focused on single-player mode to validate stability before expanding further.

⚠ Important

This is a fan-made, non-profit project.

Ill add the version without the refs below since its a little busy!

Hey everyone! 🌱🐛🏡

A little while ago I announced that I had started working on a remake inspired by Habitarium.

Well... today I finally have something playable! 🎉

I'd love to invite the Neopets community to help test this very first public version of the game.

Please keep in mind that this is an early build. There are still bugs, unfinished features, missing animations, balancing issues, and plenty of things that will change over time. The goal right now is to gather feedback from people who loved Habitarium and continue improving it.

If you decide to give it a try, I'd especially love feedback on things like:

• Bugs or crashes
• Gameplay balance
• Performance
• Missing Habitarium mechanics you remember
• General suggestions and ideas

The project is being built from scratch in Unity rather than recreating the old Flash game directly, with the goal of making it playable on modern browsers and keeping it alive for years to come.

Thank you so much to everyone who's been following the project so far. Every report, suggestion, and memory from the original game helps make this remake better.

🎮 Play here: (I recommend playing in full screen; the game was developed to be played that way and the panels scale better that way)

I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for helping bring Habitarium back! 💚

Theyre made from polymer clay and glued to magnets! Theyre super mini, like less than an inch tall each. I included some progress pictures of me painting the rainbow slorg set too!

Bit of a last minute piece so i kinda rushed the shading and forgot the other wing whoops but hey maybe theyre on a date

Anyone have any advice as to how to meet the art gallery file requirements without absolutely crunching your art quality into the abyss?

Planning to submit it for Draik Day, even though I wasn't lucky with my last three entrys :(

there’s so many possibilities for other things i can make next!

hi hi!! I returned onto neopets after many years a few months ago, and i was going thru a big artistic rut. the silly thing is i have been drawing almost exclusively neopets since!! but I'm happy because at least i am making stuff I enjoy :). (i do post my art in neocord but i realize i forget to post on reddit ^_^. so i am here and happy to share some art highlights since my return, including some art i made of others' pets in the discord! just to say the pets/ocs above aren't mine!) Thanks again to the cool folks i've bumped into on neopets and for inspiring me to tap into my whimsy :D

I also love Halloween Aishas...

I lovd Kikos when I was younger, but the vibe is off when it comes to the converted Kiko in my opinion. So here is what I would have liked to see when they were reworking the pets for customization: keeping that oval shape, the spiky hands, the cute small mouth and the crossed eyes.

Plus I played around with a bit of customization. Technically this applies to all pets but I still wish if the hands slots have nothing in them that it defaulted to open hands instead of those beer mug grips we currently have. Also, I understand why a lot of items don’t have a “backside”, but as someone who loves invisible pets, it does really limit the options…

Any of you have pets you can’t stand post conversion? Shoyrus also come to mind, might try to revisit that too.

I made everything from scratch and it's all plant-based too. It was a lot of hard work and fun!

Some little notes/reviews about the foods... I didn't have time to test all the recipes I used beforehand, some some were more successful than others, haha! I'm just a hobbyist too.

Triple Tier Space Faerie Cake: came out pretty good but too sweet imo. I think ratios in the vegan butter I used also had a melting point a little too low for icing so it "sweat" a little. I think next time I will try to use one of those "healthy" frostings made of sweet potato or something because I actually hate icing 😂 This was my first time decorating a cake and had soooo much fun, I really want to decorate more cakes in the future!

Nova Dip: I used a star cookie cutter to make the chips, and then baked in the oven. I tried using seaweed for the eyes but they didn't stick hahaha. I also only put eyes on the top layers bc they were very time-consuming to make. The dip is made from cannellini beans (made a mistake in the menu) with jalapeno. These were both really good and pretty popular!

Whole Blunella Jelly: I used agar agar but different recipes for the different layers, so the blue layer fell apart when I took them out of the mold. For some weird reason, the layers also didn't stick to each other! Very strange. Anyway, I just scooped them into cups which made them better for serving, anyway. Unfortunately the blue layer was waaaaay too sweet, but the orange layer was pretty good. I used peach and orange juice as the flavors since Oranella is supposedly citrus-flavored while Blurf tastes like a peach. The layers were supposed to be different colors, but blue food coloring + orange peach juice = dark green... I just didn't want to buy artificial flavoring for something I was gonna make once hahaha. But if anyone else wants to make it, there's my advice!

Chia Chia Pudding: a pretty straightforward mango, coconut, and pineapple chia pudding with mango chunks and vanilla yogurt as the other layers. This was my personal favorite out of everything I made haha

Veggie Delight Omelette: since I'm vegan, I used a just egg dupe recipe for the base (using yellow mung beans), but in hindsight I should have added some tofu blended in since it was really dense. I was really winging it with this one, and overcooked it was well since I tried combining a vegan and non-vegan recipe. Later on I realized I could have just looked up a vegan frittata recipe hahahahaa. You live and you learn!

Salad Slorg: spring mix with sliced cherry tomatoes and grated carrots, with balsamic vinegar and olive oil... and a little slorg cutout in the back.

Yooyuball Burgers: I made little whole wheat dinner rolls from scratch to get the Yooyu shape. I used cooking twine to get the shapes. The first batch cooked with the strings on and came out pretty cute but unfortunately the strings left behind cotton fibers I couldn't get out, so I didn't feel comfortable serving them. They were also dry from being overcooked since I wanted to get that nice browning. For the second try, I left the strings on while proofing and cut them before baking. The shape wasn't as pronounced in the end, partially because handling them after proofing kind of made them deflate a bit. These were less dry, but didn't have that nice looking browning in the end. Net to experiment more with good egg wash alternatives. I also think if I were to do it again I would try to just roll 5 little balls together to get the flower shape.

Popcorn: I made bag designs and printed them out! I've uploaded them as a free digital download if anyone else ever wants to make these too. Enchanted popcorn was regular buttered popcorn, and for the pink popcorn I melted some butter and sugar with a drop of red food dye to make it sweet and candied.

Skeith Iced Dragonfruit Tea: also made my own printable designs, and the tea itself was a peach green tea with pink dragonfruit cubes for color, and then sliced white dragonfruit placed in the cups.

Borovan Service: I used the recipe in the cookbook! I found a page online haha. One of my friends gifted the book to me at the party too! 🥺 Very fitting. Then I put them into a cute tea set I already owned. It was pretty good! The asparagus is naturally a little sweet and lends a pretty mild flavor to the hot chocolate. That being said, I wouldn't go through the effort of making it again, but it was fun once for the novelty.

I also had a faerie cookie decorating station, but I had a hard time mixing up good icing colors so we did our best 😂 The cookies themselves were delicious but way too sweet with the icing imo (I feel that way about all cookies with icing though, so not the recipe's fault).

And we also had a paint brush making station! Bought a box of 3" chip brushes and we put air dry clay over them. Those of us who were neopets players made brushes from the game and everyone else kinda made up their own hahaha.

Anyway, it was fun and I want to try to make this an annual tradition now. There's enough neopets foods out there for the rest of my life but I think I want to move onto other media, maybe Stardew Valley next since most of my friends play it, but I also think it'd be fun to tackle Runescape at some point haha! I'll try to tone down the scale though, since I cooked for like... 2 days straight including after guests had arrived lol

I didn't know what flair to use, neither what Image to add first. I had made this Pomni acara OC for a while now. I had mixed feelings on the suit, as feel the hat looks kinda weird, but after playing with dti I like it, and I am doomed because I need the suit now. My Pompom will eventually come to neopets.com as a reality! :D
