Hello
Welcome to Animal Ares!
To get started you'll want to buy some animals! You can buy animals from the corral with corral tokens or from other players. The corral has a limited supply of animals available at a time, so keep checking back if you're looking for a specific breed.
You can earn free corral tokens by completing goals. Completing goals will also help get you started in playing the game earning many great rewards to help you care for your animals.
Visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page to get some quick answers to common questions. You can also ask other members or staff for help on our Help Forum Page.

Server Migrated Successfully!
Animal Acres server has been changed and updated and is now officially off all it's old code. Next steps will be to continue to modernize and improve the site. Definitely let me know if you notice any issues. There were a lot of code changes for this update, so it is really easy for me to have missed something.
What would you like to see updated or improved on Animal Acres next?

Lots of Updates!
It's been a while, Animal Acres has received a lot of overall updates with almost all areas now moved off of outdated php. This is an important step that will let us proceed to modernize Animal Acres even more. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Updated areas include profile updates, finished up all the search areas, major shop areas split into multiple shops such as a food shop, equipment shop etc.. fabrication job updates to make more useful and usable overall, new messaging system (legacy messengers are still accessible for now), and more with more to come.

Corral Female Breeding Options
Similar to the corral stud feature there is now a Corral Dame option to that you can breed one of your male animals to a corral female as well. The cost of a female stud is more than that of the males however. This is to balance the fact that males don't need to recover after breeding. Your pool of allowed breedings per week is the same for any corral breeding stock. So choose accordingly.
While I was updating the code to add in the corral dame option I had an opportunity to review the breeding code and tweaked things a little bit so that breeding the special mythics are less punishing than before since it seemed like it was a little too slanted to not give you any offspring. Note Mythic day on the 28th was not changed and still gives you increased chance for mythic offspring so keep that in mind as well to really optimize your success.
If you notice any issues do let me know so I can get it corrected.
Happy Breeding!

Show and Discipline Updates
Viewing and entering show pages have all been completely revamped to bring it up to more modern standards. There are a lot of little changes to make things a little more streamlined and easier to use. For example you can now enter animals from the show page itself if you'd like.
When you set your species and breed specialty you are able to use an 'Enter All' option for animals that match the species and breed. In addition to that if you are upgraded, you will have this option even if only the species matches. So just a little additional perk if you do upgrade to allow you to train more variety.
The discipline training and viewing pages have also been updated though there are still some more areas to update for this. You will also notice you do now have the option to retrain in a discipline if you want, though it will cost 1 credit in this case. But it gives you an option if you need or want it for some reason.
There are some other little updates and changes I haven't posted but wanted to mention this one more specifically since it more major. If you notice any issues or bugs with the update please let me know!
Enjoy!

New Framework Conversions Additions
Just an update to let you all know things are still being worked on. Often at a slower pace than I would like with working a full time job as well, but I have converted a handful of pages to the new framework. This will include some visual updates to make things be a little more modern and hopefully attractive while keeping things functionally about the same. The main reason this is important is so that we can upgrade PHP from older no longer supported version to the newer ones. All of this is important for the long term sustainability of the site.
Of course larger feature requests and updates are still being worked on as well they just take a little longer to complete.
The most noteable area that was updated was the vet clinic pages. So when you are viewing a clinic it's now up to date and when you are editing your own clinic. And on that note if you notice any issues in vetting or editing your clinics let me know so I can get it corrected right away. The branding page where you view your brand and update it has also been updated.
Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Finally Updates
Hope you all are doing well in these crazy times! I apologize for the lack of updates recently. Life has been a little hectic for me even before 2020 dealing with different personal things in life so I didn't have as much time to work on personal projects. However Animal Acres is certainly not forgotten nor have I abandoned it. While I haven't had anything news worthy to post, I have done some behind the scenes updates and fixes with more to come.
Site Search Updates
The previous user search and animal search has been completely revamped. Functionality things are about the same, especially for the user search, but visually things look a lot better. For the animal search there have been some additions to make searching for specific animals for sale a little easier. By default the search is set to return the animals for sale low to high and not include deceased animals which can't be bought. But you can further configure based on the given options.
If you find any bugs or have ideas for improvements let me know.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving a day delayed for many of us and a week behind for those in Canada. Hope everyone was able to enjoy some time together with family and have a good meal.
Snowflakes!
I think you may notice a cold front coming in as snowflakes can once again be found around the site.
New Items
You may notice some of the older items have been replaced with more to come. I purchased a couple item assets packs and have started updating them. The packs won't update all the older images, but hopefully will start to make a dent. I am planning some more updates as well though a bit delayed due to a recent hard drive failure. Thankfully no data was lost, however I have been having some technical issues getting my local environment setup for Animal Acres. I'm sure I will get it up and going soon though to get back to work on more updates. Here are some pictures of some of the new items!

Trick or Treat!
You can find trick or treat bags over the next little bit while browsing the site so keep an eye out to collect some trick or treat bags which can then be traded into the pumpkin patch for rewards!

Survey - Future Direction Planning
Back when I first bought Animal Acres I put out a Google Survey to get an idea of where the game currently stands, what people like and what people wanted to see updated. We have come along way since then so I thought it was time to put out another one as I plan even further updates for the game and it's future.
All questions are optional so you can fill out some and not others, but the more that is filled out the more information I have to go on.

Animal Image Bank Submission Process
I have updated the Animal image bank process so it is a bit more steam lined and easier for me to add Animals to the site. Now instead of messaging me, you will directly upload the image file yourself on this page. Image Bank Submission page
I'll get a notice when an image is added, so I can check it out and confirm it fairly soon after. Generally within 24 hours, but depending on holidays or other events it could be longer. If you have submitted something before, please submit it again through this process so I can actually get it added in.
Hope to see lots more Animal added in!

Voting Updates
So I changed our voting provider to use Top Web Games instead. Not really sure why the other one stopped working, but I don't even have access to the account on that site and it wasn't anything on our end. Unfortunately this does mean some changes. Instead of voting once a day, it's going to be a weekly vote. That is just how often Top Web Games allows. To help compensate the value of item you can earn has been increased as well as the monetary amount you can receive which will now be a minimum of 10,000.
Since goals were setup with a once a day vote in mind, I am not sure how I will proceed there. If anyone knows of any other game listing sites that allow voting feel free to drop a link in the comments. I chose Top Web Games because it was one I found, there maybe something better out there or a possibility to sync multiple instead.
Enjoy!

New Goals System is Live!
Goals system is officially live! You can now complete goals on the new system. The old system is still active, but will be closed down in the next couple days, so if you have any that you wanted to complete with that system you'll need to do that before then.
As always let me know if there are any issues or problems you run into or have any questions.
Butterflies Gone Away!
Butterflies have gone away with the wave the colder weather. Trick or Treat bags seem to be finding there way back in however, though the Pumpkin Patch won't be open until October

Goals Revamp Preview
The goals system is almost ready to be released! The final things to complete before release are making sure the rewards are balanced along with finishing testing to make sure all the types and rewards function correctly. There are a few more types I will be releasing later as well!
In the meantime take a look! Go to New Goals Overview You won't be able to complete any of the goals right now, but you can see them and look at what prizes will be offered for each one. This is a great time to bring forward any thoughts on the prizes and if any should be changed to be increased or decreased.
Keep in mind once this system goes live, the other one will be removed, so you may want to finish up any you are close to now! Most have overlap anyway, but prizes do vary across them to account for the different system and there are more goals types as well.
Hope you all are enjoying the season. We have been getting nice warm weather recently and I have been enjoying it.
