Pets in Dance World

Pets in Dance World serve two functions: they visually accompany the character and provide additional personal experience points. Their effectiveness depends on the pet’s level and participation conditions in dances.

Purpose of Pets

A pet is a companion object for the character. As the player develops the pet, they receive additional personal experience points. Thus, the pet serves not only as a decorative element but also as a game progress system.

Reward Calculation

From levels 1 to 15 inclusive, the pet adds a fixed bonus of personal experience points ranging from 1000 to 5000 points. The size of the bonus depends on the pet’s level.

Starting from level 16, the player receives guaranteed 5000 personal experience points and an additional percentage bonus based on the experience earned for a dance:

$$E_{pet}=5000+E_{dance}\times p$$

where $E_{pet}$ is the pet’s bonus, $E_{dance}$ is the personal experience points received by the player for a dance, and $p$ is the percentage coefficient of the pet ranging from 0.10 to 1.00.

Planned Features

The following features were announced as planned. Their parameters and implementation timelines may change.

Pet Affinity

For each pet, a scale of affinity with the character is planned. It should increase through joint dances, quests, and tasks.

Pet Training

A pet will be able to train another pet in a special school. The duration and cost of training will depend on the difference in experience between the pets. During training, both pets will be unavailable for selection and will not provide bonuses.

Confidence

When dancing together with the owner, the pet’s confidence scale will increase. It is expected to take 500 dances to fully fill the scale:

$$C=\frac{d}{500}$$

where $C$ is the percentage of the scale filled, and $d$ is the number of dances completed.

After the scale is full, the pet can offer to participate in the “Best of All!” contest. The contest lasts 24 hours. During participation, the pet is unavailable and does not provide bonuses. The probability of winning is stated as 35%, the cost of entry is 299 Larce, and the amount of Pisne received depends on the pet’s level.

If the pet is not sent to the contest within three days, the confidence scale resets, and the pet’s effectiveness decreases to 50% for 7 days. With prolonged lack of joint dances, the confidence scale gradually decreases.

Boredom

The boredom scale should fill up if the player dances to the same song for a long time. It is planned to be fully filled after 10 dances in a row without changing the composition:

$$B=\frac{s}{10}$$

where $B$ is the percentage of the boredom scale filled, and $s$ is the number of consecutive dances without changing the song.

When changing the song and performing one subsequent dance, the scale should decrease. If the scale is completely full, the pet temporarily goes to a pet party for 5 hours, becomes unavailable, and does not provide bonuses. After returning, its confidence increases by 10 points.

Birthday

On the pet’s birthday, the player must open the pet’s profile, click the “congratulations” button, and choose a gift. If the pet is not congratulated on its birthday, it will go to friends for a week. During this period, the pet does not provide bonuses and is unavailable for selection. After returning, its confidence increases by 50 points.

Pet Love

7 days after purchase, the pet may find a mate. The stated probability of such an event is 50% per day. If the player allows the pet to go on a first date, the pet becomes unavailable for one day or more, but after returning, it receives a love scale, +25 confidence, and reduces boredom by 5 points. If the player forbids the date, the pet’s effectiveness decreases to 10% for a week.

The love scale should fill up daily. After the scale is full, the pet may ask to go on a date with its mate. Allowing this sends the pet on a 2-day trip and temporarily disables its bonuses, but after returning, it increases confidence, reduces boredom to zero, and gives the pet experience. Repeated rejections reduce confidence and effectiveness. After three consecutive rejections, the pet’s relationship breaks up, the love scale disappears, confidence resets, and the pet stops providing experience for 7 days.

The cost of the first date is stated as 99 Larce. The cost of subsequent dates is 49 Larce or Pisne according to the formula:

$$P=min(100000n,2000000)$$

where $P$ is the cost in Pisne, and $n$ is the number of subsequent dates.
