New wardrobe and vanity

Is everyone so engrossed in the new options that nobody has bothered to post about it yet? I like to see how they're monetizing things, and how there will be "subscriber" benefits, and other monetized options. It also appears that there is enough "free" stuff to still pique interest.

  • Hey! I was just coming in here to post an "official" thread. But, I suspect that no-one has posted about it because it *just* went live a few minutes ago :)

    In any case, Xupa, you beat me … so this can be the official thread!

  • Hey thanks Stoot! Guess I just logged in at the right time! :)

    One piece of feedback - I had a hard time finding the "Save" button in the vanity. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time, but I'm used to Save being at the bottom of the page. Also, if I try to flip over to the wardrobe, I like the warning that I haven't saved, but a "Save and Continue" option in that box would be nice.

  • how do you unsubscribe?

  • What happened to my real nose?!?!

    Also, is it possible to buy credits with currants?

  • There is barely anything for non-subscribers and I lost my favourite clothes.

    I do like the variety of clothes it is just that you cut down on skin/hair colours.

  • Thrindos — all the noses are still there. You just have to go to the Vanity to set things up again.

    And no, it is not possible to buy credits with currants: they are totally separate.

  • Aniloverl - there are more options for non-subscribers now than there were total options earlier today! Plus you can be a subscriber for free *right now*

  • You forgot the animal nose.

  • Tog: subscriptions are faked up for now — we are just giving everyone subscriptions during the testing period. In the future, you will be able to unsubscribe by … waiting for your subscription to run out :)

    (Though, you will also be able to cancel/return purchased subscriptions within a some time period after purchase.)

    Details on subscriptions and credits, etc., will come out "soon": we're just making some final decisions.

  • What about me? What about my nose?
    Posted 22 months ago by Letter Jeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thrindos, I'm not sure which nose you mean — all the ones we had yesterday are still there today. There is one that looks a bit like a snout: it's the third one on the second row.

    (Incidentally, we've had a freeze on facial features for a while now; a few of those are getting fixed shortly and we'll be adding more as well.)

  • Yay devs! New UI is awesome! One quibble - it took me a while to figure out how to take off the default gray tank top and shorts. I literally could not figure out what the UI in the upper left was supposed to be indicating.

  • My nose is oval-shaped, darker than the rest of my face, and has no visible nostrils.
    Posted 22 months ago by Letter Jeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • O! We might be missing one after all: sorry about that. Checking now …
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay!
    Posted 22 months ago by Letter Jeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Should be back in now (or in a few seconds).
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, it feels good to have my old sniffer back. Thanks, Stoot!
    P.S. Is it possible to have hair and a hat at the same time?
    Posted 22 months ago by Letter Jeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nice job! I'm still laughing at quite a few of these...

    Though I really want to see how my wrastlin' mask will hold up during actual game play :) (test button doesn't count).

  • Thrindos - In the (near?) future! Some hair works with some hats and vice-versa, so we need to figure that all out.

  • Love the facial animations!

    @Stoot, I think that this is one of the things that people would pay to have more options for. Perhaps provide only a handful of facial emotions and actions/animations, but allow for the purchase of more. They are really really cool and well done. Will they be possible to use in-game?

  • One more note... I don't see the NES control pad shirt :(

    That said, lot's of fun options available.

    The gentleman's censor bar is hilarious! Would have been handy at the Naked Party at the end of the last test!
    Posted 22 months ago by en Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I notice that a lot of options from the old system are gone. For example, my old shirt (Button down green collared shirt) and pants (brown cargo shorts) are gone :( I want them back.

    PS - After some time off, I have returned.

  • I miss my black pants.
    Posted 22 months ago by Letter Jeigh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • en & Edward: some of the clothes are still in the factory, getting recolored (this was a MAJOR re-engineering project and though things look the same, it works in a completely different way).

    The good news is that it is much, much easier for us to get new clothes, colors, etc., into the system so there will be a steady stream from here on out. So, most everything will come back (though not necessarily always in the same colors) and a lot more will be added too.
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • En, I don't think there's any way for you to test it till the game opens, but the Gentleman's Censor Bar is even funnier when you can see it in the "happy" animation.
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • OMG i love this. it took me a little time to figure out how to save before moving on to wardrobe - but all the controllers and options were dizzying and fun!

    waiting for someone to hack in a way to get my avatar some bazooms - big bouncy ones ;)

  • Now I have another reason to look forward to the next test window!
    Posted 22 months ago by en Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh my goodness, love it so much! One small request - in the vanity, could we please see our whole avatar? This may sound silly but I was trying to color coordinate my hair with my shoes but couldn't see them :)

  • Missed this earlier, but Eggy: yesh, the UI still needs a bit more polish and can be confusing (we made the mistake of making it a bit too complex in the first go 'round) but some of it is in the process of being clarified now (the upper-right box in particular) and all of it will get carefully evaluated as we have more people using it and evolved to betterness over time.

  • I look so classy now :D

    Thanks devs
    Posted 22 months ago by Fizio Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Picture Picture: some of the upcoming dresses will be a bit more "shapely", but we probably won't get too far into big 'n' bouncy territory ;)

    Jenna: that's a good point and something that came up in internal testing — it's a pain to switch back and forth between the vanity and the wardrobe. But, we'll figure something out!
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Any idea when the old stuff is coming back? I miss being dressed all in black.
    Posted 22 months ago by Aldaris Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, the "You have unsaved changes" dialog when switching between wardrobe and vanity before saving is confusing. It would be nice to have a save button on that dialog box instead of having to select "Stay in wardrobe" and manually saving from there.
    Posted 22 months ago by Joe Blow Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 for Joe Blow's idea of putting a save button in that dialog box

  • sorry. just don't like it.

  • Just checked out stoots avatar... he's all growed up!
    Posted 22 months ago by en Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We'll try to improve based on that feedback, stri ;)
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey stoot would it be possible that the wheel of the mouse can be used to zoom in and out on your avatar in the vanity?

    I really like the new stuff, very cool. Besides hair and hats will you be able to wear hats with Horns? And I would like a walking cane so I can really pimp my boy out.

    Thanks for the fun.

    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So... is it weird that after the naked party I no longer want to wear pants? (in game.. settle down people :) ) I think I might run around in just a shirt for a while, makes me feel like a Disney character!
    Posted 22 months ago by Jenna Banana Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like the new UI but I am a little disconcerted with the number of items which require credits or a subscription. I know subscriptions are free and there are more items coming, but I am still a little miffed by the fact that items which were once free now require a subscription.

    Maybe it's just the way clothes are organized, but there don't seem to be a lot of free options. Maybe those could be organized at the top or something to make them easier to find?

    I'll wait for things to get finalized a little more before making my final judgement, but I feel like the subscription/credit requirements may have gone a little too far. But I really like the new UI.

  • Jenna, It's perfectly natural!

    I might go shirtless for a while since my favorite new jeans with the fancy belts get covered up too much by the shirts.

    And the higher waisted skirts cover up the bottom of the shirts. We still have work to do!
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • :)

    after the initial chagrin at the subscriber/credits model, i happily found a few fun things for my new look -- neat interface... and the subscription/credits model does make sense.

    something about the wardrobe seems confusing though - the numbers in my 'save changes' didn't match the cart (probably because I was wearing something not in the cart). i have no suggestions to improve it right now, but that process (choosing, saving, buying) could flow better.

    also, a bug, I picked up a gentleman's censor bar, and I couldn't get the damn thing off until I fully exited the wardrobe and reloaded the home page, then re-entered the wardrobe and clicked 'remove all'. now I can't find the censor bar anywhere in my wardrobe or in the selection choices.

    but i love the stylish new looks!

  • I'd be more inclined to use hats if they didn't effectively remove all of my avatar's hair.
    Posted 22 months ago by en Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 to wearing hats and keeping hair.

    I'm partial to the bobbles and rain hat. But I'm not giving up hair for them.
    ps. I love my new coat, and that censor bar is definitely going out for a stroll.

  • Feedback:
    Would like to be able to save some different character configurations (character design and wardrobe). That way I could quickly assume the look I am in the mood to use while playing.
    Posted 22 months ago by en Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Zaphod & zeeberk: we gotta make a living somehow. Since the game will be free to play and we like the model of charging for optional customizations/decorations better than charging for things which effect the core game mechanics, the majority of options will be either for subscribers or charged a la carte.

    Having said that, we'll be continually adding new options, both free and paid, as we go.
    Posted 22 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • En: the ability to save and load a whole outfit is coming.

    Re hats/hair: it will be sorted out in the fullness of time. There are many that will never work together though ... The Mexican Wrestling masks and the afro; the lizard hat and the sticky-up pigtails, etc.
