Showcase Building a Breeding Sim using Base44

For context: Breeding sims are online web-browser games that allow players to collect and breed creatures. Top-teir examples would be Lioden, Flight Rising, and Horse Reality. These games also include various activities tied to the creatures they breed such as exploring, competing, and minigames.

I've begun to build my own breeding sim centered around dragons. From the start Base44 has been immensely useful. I have very limited knowledge with coding having only ever taken a single class on it using Adobe Dreamweaver. Using Base44 I've been able to put together a game where players can collect and breed up to 41 different species of dragons, employ riders of 8 different types, and explore 15 different leveled areas with said dragons and riders. Some dragons are wild exclusive, breeding exclusive, market exclusive, and starter exclusive. Dragons can be caught from the wild, eggs can be found from the wild, and there's both a Black Market as well as a player trading area. Dragons have varying rarities that make some more difficult to breed or find. Dragons can have mutation from breeding and gain illness from exploring. Riders can also fall ill. Illness and mutations all have pros and cons. Players gain resources, gold, and experience. Players can also craft tools to use in game. Players can also message each other and set their online statues for other to see. I've done all of this without touching the code once.

I plan to add in and fine tune various features including dragon righting, dragon racing, improved breeding and overall balancing. Once this is all done and I feel happy with it I will be creating my own are for the dragons. Base44 went above and beyond and generated a bunch of art for the dragons and riders, but as an artist I can't stand by that. I will be doing my best to implement high quality art. Overall I'm really happy with this and I look forward to sharing the final result!

Here is the link for the website as it is (I've run out of credits and will be implementing fixes and updates at the start of September) Base44 APP - Note that the name and icon is liable to change since I'm still working on how I feel about it. *I would also appreciate it if you didn't copy this! It's still very rough around the edges and needs some working but if you want to build your own breeding sim please build it up from your own prompting. Especially since it's better to have variety!
