Hello! So I had been wandering around looking at various lorekeepers I have accounts on because I frankly forgot that they exist. While I was checking them out, I was mentally rating them. So I thought....you know what, let's actually rate some species.
Disclaimer: Just because a species has a low rating in one area or another doesn't mean they're automatically bad. I am also not rating lore or art of the species, only purely mechanical aspects.
I am also rating them on a out of 5 rating scale. Un
What I am rating are as follows:
Affordability(adopts) - How affordable official adopts appear to be(0 being that you can expect to pay close to 4 digit sums, 5 being that the adopts hover around 2 digit sums in IRL currency)
Afordability(MYOS) - How affordable MYOs are(See above, however, this will also look at pecies currency, too)
Ease of entry - How easy it is to join in (0 being that you could take 6 or more months to get a character without buying an adopt, 5 being that you're able to get a MYO almost immediately)
Prompt payouts - How balanced the payouts for prompts are (0 being that there's no prompts at all, 5 being that prompts are balanced)
Art payouts - How decent art payouts are outside of prompt art(0 being that there' no art payout outside prompt art, 5 being that they're generous)
Ease of use - How easy it is to participate(0 being that onboarding is complex or confusing, 5 being that your grandma could figure it out)
Ease of voiding - How easy it is to get a character taken out of the species(0 being that you cannot void your characters at all, 5 being that you can easily take your characters out without doing much more than asking they get deleted from the species databanks)
Activities - If there's any activities outside of doing prompts or if there's events. (0 being no events or non-art activities, 5 being that there's frequent, balanced events or non art activities)
I may also evaluate a category at a 0/5 if there is no data at all in that category.
Any notes will be further thoughts on the above categories.
The sheet may change as I figure out better ways for it to be usable a a look-up.
What I need to rate your species is as follows
Species/group name: (If a multispecies group, please list group)
Species openness: (Open, closed, semi. use semi if there's a mix of open and closed species)
Link: (If multiple, please label what type.)
Age rating: (The minimum age someone needs to be to join)
Species type: (Feral/anthro/humanoid. Use mixed if there's multiple body plans or multipl types of species)
Tags: (Any short phrases/words that could describe your species, including TWs)
You must own the species you're posting for reveiw. I will not reveiw a species that is posted here by a third party.
If your species has anything that you need to be a member to see, let me know. In those cases, I may need to join in order to gather the needed data. Do not send me back end data, as the data gathered must be available to the average FTO.
To anyone hosting a species directory: Just shoot me a message if you want to use the data from my reveiwing
Note: Especially with a new species, feel free to ask for a reevaluation after a few months. Any species has room to grow and I'm evaluating only one the state of the species when started out.

Your species is added! They look rad, to be honest! Might check out the discord later, but the ratings I put in the datasheet is purely based on what I found on the TH world.
A couple of images appear to be broken, by the way. (The tail image on https://toyhou.se/~world/97935.radrians-open-species/page/89374.creation-guide and the harvest image on https://toyhou.se/~world/97935.radrians-open-species/page/89376.concepts-and-rough-ideas )
Species/group name: Ouritas
Species openness: Closed (working on getting up a game where u can earn them
Link: https://toyhou.se/~forums/5868.species-discussion/505881.new-arpg-ourita-cove-free-myos?page=0 (just this ad rn ^^;)
Age rating: 13+ for joining the game on discord
Species type: Anthro
Tags: Aquatic, Amphibious, Sea Animal, Anthro, Closed Species, Ocean
SpaceHyena thank you for adding them and the info about the broken images!! I'll try to fix that!
Since most of the info is on the discord, are you okay with me temporarily joining the discord to find out more? (Just want to check before I actually do so)
SpaceHyena (sorry idk how 2 tag properly lol) Servers open for anyone ! game just isn’t completed lol, feel free to join (even temporarily) :)
Species/group name: Biosynths
Species openness: Closed (for arpg reasons)

Age rating: 13+
Species type: Anthro/Feral (built kinda like a bunny on its hind legs)

mistymonsoon Awesome! I'll be a bit on adding ratings because it's late here
Asrielmerrymoon Adding them to the database! I'll also be a bit on adding ratings because, again, it's late here.
I should have ratings added before I go to bed, I'm just going to take time to make sure I process everything. XD
Species/group name: Star Satyrs
Species openness: Open i think? I can't remember which uses its own currency
Link: Thinking abt putting it on TH soon but rn it's just here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/965737421/
Age rating: ~10+ is preferred just so people can understand the rules
Species type: Mixed ig
Tags: possible religion tw, celestial, satyr, stars
Actually, being open or closed is in regards to whom is allowed to make and/or sell characters from a species! THough, from what I can tell, technically yours looks to be more closed? I'm actually having a bit of trouble actually parsing the info in the link.
I'm adding them to the database, though!
Just to say this, thank you for posting this forum! I'd love to hear your thoughts on my species universe below (it's taken a lot of hard work)! :D
Species/group name: The Landom
Species In World: Shellinir, Zuranthi, Vekseli (so far)
Species openness: Semi-Open (certain rarities are free to make, higher rarities and subtypes need items or MYO’s)
Links: Toyhouse World [Archive + ML]: https://toyhou.se/~world/137002.the-landom (we also have a Discord and Instagram linked in the welcome page)
Age rating: 16+ , although most of the community is 18+ . Species is strictly PG-13 and below!
Species type: Since the Landom is a multi-species world, the Shellinir are mammalian bear-cats with shells and astonishing diversity, the Zuranthi are proud and fanciful avian-draconic beings, and the shy Vekseli are ice-covered rodents from the far mountains.
Tags: Long ago, the Landom suffered an asteroid blow that wiped out the mammalian dynasty of yore. It took millenia to recover, and the world became dominated by opportunistic reptiles. In the present day, this seemingly idyllic world is emerging from its dark ages with a beautiful renaissance. There are three species living on one massive continent. The first are the Shellinir, stocky bear-cats with shells to hide in. The second are the fancy, elite avian-draconic Zuranthi, who coexist equally with the Shellinir and regard them as their “sister species.” Lastly, the isolationist and mysterious Vekseli, the only other descendants of the ancient mammalian empire, populate the far hills and snowy mountains of the Landom, speaking to many but only regarding their own.
My apologies for being so wordy! It's that writer in me, and it's a bad habit of mine to overdescribe lmao -

I think you might have misundersood the form? The tag section is not really for a full description, it's more like...base descriptors like 'dog' or 'lore heavy', basically brief tagging like how you'd tag a post on tumblr. I'm not really reveiwing/judging species lore and the like, even if my comments on this thread might mention me saying a species is cool. And species type is just....basic body plans.
Basically, I'm reveiwing things more on the mechanics and not at all on the lore because I'd feel weird rating lore because that's far far more subjective than 'can the average person afford this'
This isn't to shoot you down, I'll still add them to the sheet, I'm just going to have to shorten things and ask for tags rather than a full on description.
SpaceHyena Oh okay! I guess it was wrong of me to go around with my wordy descriptions on Toyhouse. After all my species isn't Toyhouse centric and it's mechanics are on Discord, because I've gotten zero interest and a few hefty demands on how to run my species on this platform. Thank you for letting me know, but I would rather them not be added to your sheet, and I would rather not go further with this. It would be wrong of me to advertise a lore heavy species on discord as a mechanic heavy Toyhouse species, if you get what I mean. XD
I am not insulted nor do I feel snubbed (please don't feel worried or upset), but I made a silly advertising choice and it is my mistake.
I hope you get many more correct entries from your post, and I wish you a wonderful day and night! 💖
