Chat, Friends & Quests
Talk, team up, trade, and chase goals with other players. Here's the social toolkit.
Chat & speech bubbles
- The Chat tab is your room feed. Press / to jump straight into the message box.
- Whatever you say pops up in a speech bubble above your head as you walk, for everyone nearby to read; it fades a few seconds after you move on.
- Quote-reply any message to respond — the quoted bit shows tiny and italic above your reply.
- Handle colorstell you who's who at a glance: that's you in gold, frens in blue, your friends in green, and your rivals in red.
- A red unread badgecounts messages you've missed; open Chat to clear it.
Parties
- Invite to Partyfrom another player's menu (Interact). Parties share chat, show HP on the roster, and travel into dungeons, casino tables, and TCG together.
- The party leader pulls the online roster into the Temple of Raj — solo still enters alone.
- Party Follow keeps the group moving; bounty XP from shared fights can split among the party.
- Watch for town events like Zombie Invasion — group up when chat lights up.
Friends & rivals
- Click any player in the world to open their menu — walk over and wave, Follow them around, or mark them a Friend or Rival.
- Friends turn green in chat and can trade with you.
- Rivals unlock open-world melee only when both marked each other (see Combat & Sparring).
Trading
- Open a trade with a Friend to swap items face to face.
- Each side fills an offer grid; the swap only happens when both tap accept, so nobody gets shortchanged.
- Want trades that can't be undone or stolen? Claimed items can be sold or gifted on the $XAnimals Marketplace.
Quests & achievements
- The Quests & Achievements tab tracks your goals. Starter quests get you moving — punch a tree, crack a chest, bank some XP, spend a few minutes in the world.
- Milestone tracks for Steps, Coins, and XP each climb six tiers, from 10 all the way to 1,000,000. Clear a tier to bag its achievement and unlock the next.
- Earn one and the whole map sees a celebration card pop, with a matching line in chat. Hit the Copy button to brag on X with a link back to the game.
- There are also hidden achievements to discover — no hints, just play.
Story cutscenes (coming)
- Full-screen story moments are in the works — backdrop, speakers, speech bubbles, optional music.
- When they ship, you'll be able to advance (click / Next / Space), go back, pause, jump scenes, or Skip (Escape) so you're never stuck watching.
- A short new-player intro is coming later; you'll be able to replay it. No plot spoilers here.
Emotes
- Wave (Numpad +) — a friendly hello the whole room sees.
- Flip the bird (Numpad −) — a cheeky, soft “up yours.”
Idle rules
- Go quiet for a few minutes and you start zoning out — the world dims and a little bubble floats over your head. Tap or type to snap back.
- Stay away too long and the game gently signs you out — so the world stays full of frens who are actually around.
On the horizon
The social side keeps growing:
- Guilds. Bigger crews with ranks, a tag on your nameplate, and a home base for the long haul.
- LFG. No group handy? Queue up solo and get matched with other players looking for the same adventure.
- A real main story. One big quest line on top of milestone tracks — with those skippable cutscenes above.
