Party Spaces

The 'Party' feature has been around since almost the beginning of Glitch but it has never had that much use, other than getting an ad hoc group of people together on a chat channel. But now it does!

Party Packs, available from the toy vendors, create a temporary space for members of a Party to get together by teleporting in to a private, shared location. There are five different party spaces available now (with more to come) each available in "taster" (10 minute) and full (60 minute) versions. Each of templates is a pretty crazy location in its own right and all come with lots of resources (a few mining rocks and several "making stations" where specific recipe ingredients spawn). People in the Party Space can use an "ATM" item in the location to extend the time if needed.

• Here are the five: Toxic Moon (a moon level with circulating convection craters), Nylon Phool (a tide pool fantasy), Double Rainbow (a candy-enhanced meadow), Pitchen Lilliputt (like miniature world, great for cubimal racing) , Mazza'la Gala (a Mazza'la/Firebog style party mansion).

• In case you hadn't used Parties much before, we just added an FAQ entry to give you the Party Basics.

(Bonus: For a limited time, use of Party Packs does not require a Party Permit from the Bureaucratic Hall ;)

  • The moon was great fun - I want a party room like that in real life.

  • Now we just need to keep an eye on the making stations! That stuff is for making food for the party, not a goodie bag to take home.

    Also, Lilliput is so adorable I could just melt.

  • I took pics of Double Rainbow and the big mansion place.

    P.S. The mansion is really much bigger than that. :)
    P.P.S. If anyone wants to invite me to Nylon Phool, I will show up to your party with sparkle powder, cubimals, and herbs in hand!

  • If you don't have enough currants for a big party pack, try pooling funds with other people! I was going to buy a taster pack with the few currants I had, and then a whole bunch of amazing Glitchen chipped in and we had ourselves one giant party!

    Enjoy, everyone! :)

  • I was very lucky to get invites to all of the different party locations.  I cannot possibly name a favorite.  The crater-chute ride on Toxic Moon was fantastic, and I liked partying on the UFOs.  Swimming through Nylon Phool was really great fun, even better than Plexus.  Pitchen Lilliput was amazing with all of the tiny details, and I had FUN cloud jumping (read any of my other posts on jumping, and you'll realize what an accomplishment THAT is).  Since we are loving the new party spaces, any hope that some of these will become templates for whole new regions?

  • Is it a good idea to mine in these locations or is running around in Pollokoo better for grinding sparkly?

  • Toxic Moon is amazing!

  • Congrats TS for making this incredible surprise :D all the party zones are awesome and I already did a lot of pictures!

    I can imagine fancy dinners and Halloween parties at the mansion, and it's great to use snorkels underwater or gas mask at toxic moon... people are already crazy for invites ;)

  • Oh my goodness, these are too adorable! Thanks for the info and pictures, everyone! And thanks to the staff for the nifty new items! I can't wait to visit a Party Space. XD

  • Here's the only screen cap I got: watery conga in Nylon Phool.

    I loved Toxic Moon best, but i was too busy jumping figure eights through the convection craters and smooching to get any pics there.

  • The 10 minute sample party pack for Toxic Moon turned into an hour long event with donations from other people. It was awesome. :) First Pig on the Moon! And multiple No-No deaths, haha.

  • I regret to inform everyone that Neil Hamstrong, the first pig on the moon, did not return. Our scientists are confirming that pigs hate being in outer space, and accidentally leaving him on the moon was probably the worst thing we could have done.

  • Neat. I have to revist the forums more often now for staff info, lol. :p
    Posted 14 months ago by Cerulean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That is super cool stoot, love all new the new locations, and I have some suggestions for this:

    - add limit of people in the atm box
    - ability to party owner to kick people out

    And also wish I could be able buy an ATM box to my home, and all the money there would revert to the party owner. And it would be spectacular if we could flood our house with water or add a big trampoline there ;)

  • Request: give a 60 second warning bf time runs out.
    Reasons: so we can add more time if desired... and so we can play everyone a GNG for the end of the party :)
    Posted 14 months ago by La_La Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Request: Ability to 'chip in' toward a higher amount of time. I was at a party and only had 600 currants at the time, but I'd have happily donated all of it toward an extra 5 minutes. I know we can informally chip in, but if there's only 3 minutes left, we may not manage it.

    Posted 14 months ago by rosedragon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is so cool! I can't wait to experiment.
    I'd love if you guys could show some official pics of all the party spaces!

    But I'm confuse. You buy this Party pack, but can you use more than one time?
    Or we can only use once and then we must buy another pack if we want to have an other party?
