🐾 PetPal v0.1.3
An accounts-and-moderation release: every pet now has a unique ID, rule-breakers can be banned, and you can link your 3DS to the PetPal phone app.
✨ What's new
- 🆔 Pet IDs — Every pet now gets a unique server ID (like
PP-ABCD-2345), shown on the Settings screen. It's assigned automatically the first time you play online and is what identifies your pet for linking, reports, and support. - ⛔ Ban enforcement — Pets that break the rules (for example, an offensive name) can now be banned. A banned console shows a red "401 Forbidden" screen at launch with its Pet ID for support, and can't play or pass until it's cleared.
- 🔗 Link to your phone — New Settings → Link to phone: enter the Link ID from the PetPal Android app to tie your 3DS and phone to the same pet identity (it then shows as 3ds & Android). Completely optional — your 3DS still works great on its own, and linking never touches your save data. (Android version not released yet, coming soon. Code is just there for prep)
- 📣 Report a pet — Ran into an inappropriate pet? You can now report it by its ID at teampetpal.com/report, and a moderator will take a look.
- 🛡️ Expanded name filter — The moderation word list has grown (now catches Herpy and related terms). The fuzzy matching from v0.1.2 still applies, so leetspeak and repeated-letter tricks don't get through.
- The Settings screen now shows your Pet ID alongside the version (v0.1.3).
⬆️ Upgrading from 0.1.2
This release keeps the same title ID as v0.1.2, so it installs as a normal update over your existing PetPal — nothing to delete. Your save data is safe; older saves upgrade to the new format automatically the first time you launch. (Still on 0.1.0 / 0.1.1? Follow the v0.1.2 upgrade steps first.)
