How do stickers work?

Please see my sticker FAQ post and/or Game Jolt's documentation for answers to questions about stickers, sticker packs, charges, and supporting creators.

What are sticker pets?

They're stickers that start out as eggs, but eventually hatch and grow into lovable little creatures!

How do sticker pets work?

It's actually very simple. When a sticker image is changed, every instance of that sticker updates across Game Jolt. So basically I'll just change the sticker images to make it look like the sticker pets are growing up.

How long before the eggs hatch?

The sticker pets will begin to hatch and grow at different rates starting on June 1st, 2023. There are four stages of growth: egg, hatching egg, baby, and adult.

Why so long before they hatch?

It is a long time to wait, but I want to give everyone as much time as possible to collect the pet stickers so they'll have enough to unlock them as reactions and emojis while still being able to support other creators. By waiting until after these sticker packs aren't available anymore, everyone who obtained them will be surprised at the same time as the sticker pets begin to hatch and grow.

How do I know I'll like them enough to want them as reactions/emojis?

Well... I can't be certain everyone will like them, but if you've liked the cute art I've made before, then you'll probably like these too (I hope). LOL

If I miss this sticker pack, will they ever come back?

Yes, probably, but not for quite a while. I'd have to change them back to eggs and restart the growing process for any future users who never had the chance to experience collecting sticker pets the first time around. Since it wouldn't be fresh and new for many of my current followers, I wouldn't want to have to do this too often.

So what happens once they're no longer available on June 1st, 2023?

I will switch back to my default mascot sticker pack, and any sticker pets that have been collected or placed will begin to hatch from their eggs and grow.

What inspired this collection?

Tamagotchi, Digimon, Pokemon, and my constant drive to make cute stuff.

Will you make more sticker pets?

Good question! Currently, I'm not planning on it, because this type of sticker pack requires more planning and maintenance than the others. I don't want to end up cycling sticker images so often that I'm not able to make other fun stuff to share with you all! That said, I'd really love to see some other creators make their own spin on this idea.
