May 15th, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: GamesHello, my question is based upon Rally and the Racing mini-game. Since adobe is phasing out flash , I'm well aware that Gaia Staff are working on a Towns v3 to take the place of the current set up. Is there going to be a new Rally/Racing game as well? There will be a new rally as it uses the same engine as Towns2, as for racing, it, along with other iconic games such as Fishing, will be converted one by one. codemonkey37179 AvatarRoku05 Games/Features:I think I remembered seeing Flash was no longer being updated in 2019. When is Gaia estimated to begin work on moving their games to HTML5? Several months ago. Lots to do!

May 22nd, 2018: codemonkey37179 Shrimp_Man Though fair warning, never let me know when you're working on the old Flash games because then I will begbug you to do Cards first... and create a Russell Ace NPC account Cards should be one of the easier ones to redo. It is fishing that I'm dreading... surprised

June 5th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Marcelio Sanchez II Feautres: AvatarIs Avatar going to have a HTML5 version? Like Towns 2 or Inventory 2? Thank You! If you mean a dress up app, then yes working on it now. If you meant something else, I'm not sure. codemonkey37179 2sammygate codemonkey37179 2sammygate likely talking about replacing the flash in astra items with HTML5. That one is tricky! i know you've said some items won't work properly at all, but i'm sure most people will be hapy to have a majority of them that everyone can see and use without causing their computer to melt from lag. It is tricky on a lot of levels. I'm going to need to run some tests on it, but right now other things are at the top of long list!

June 12th, 2018: Lanzer Silverstar_Cross Features: Have there been any word of progress to have all the games on Gaia have more options to be run with than JUST using Adobe Flash, like running on alternatives to Adobe Flash is allowed by now? Games that were built for flash won't have any alternatives. If any browser stop supporting flash the only option would be to use another browser that still support the last flash plugin. We are going to convert things like Towns 2 into HTML5 so the new version will no longer be flash and can run on all browsers, then we'll work on other older flash games, but it'll be a slow process.

July 17th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Everlongprince Is it too much to ask if at least one of the flash games that were taken down for security reasons to be remade in HTML5(.3) instead of just being brought to the new servers as a Flash game, considering that Flash is on its way out? Thank you. If I can find time in my production schedule....I'd love to!

July 31st, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: Features: Avatar BuilderAvatar Builder will return to be far less over-reliant on Flash I hope? Current Avatar builder is not flash based, and we will find ways to speed it up in the future. codemonkey37179 2sammygate games - fishingwhen you redo fishing in HTML5, can you please give the option to save a disconnected bucket when fishing is reloaded? like, type a CAPTCHA to save, or discard the bucket options, then you start a new bucket. that's been a fisher's dream for years now, especially people with bad computers or connections. I'm dreading re-doing fishing because I'm going to get pulled between the fisher's who want improvements and the one's who want no changes at all!

August 7th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Rokusho The Black Cat ItemsI know animated items are kind of antiquated at the moment, but I was wondering if you guys had considered fantasy animated items? Or perhaps a return of evolving items but periodically giving them an animated scene associated with its evolutions? Such as perhaps an ominous flash of thunder in an otherwise dark room that darkens the avatar but leaves a slight glow around the users eyes, or warring entities in the background clashing repeatedly behind an avatar? Right now we don't have a good way to replace the flash-based animated items. We need to solve the technical problems first. Cool ideas though.

August 28th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Daniel Hyuuga Gaia GamesDo you plan replacing Slots and Cards game into HTML5, I say something more fun Bingo and old OMGPOP game Booya! (UNO-based) We do plan on making HTML5 games of the old flash games we have. I would love to do new games, time permitting. codemonkey37179 Athearn codemonkey37179 Athearn item fix ? have you people fix the astra frosty air ?i found a problem with it i see my avi in dressing up.and post and in rally but not on my gaia header it has a black box with a lego in white A lego? hmm I think that it may be the browser is blocking flash. Is this an animated item? yes Nothing we can do to fix it then. It is your browser settings.

September 11th, 2018: Lanzer Happy _Tropical_Flower Lanzer Happy _Tropical_Flower Gaia Features/Booty Grab GlitchHi, Devs! Direct Links to aquariums to play Booty Grab and even anyone clicking to go to our aquariums in our signatures to play Booty Grab have not been working for about 2-3 weeks now. Can you please fix this? emo Uh oh, what happens when you click on the link? Do you see a regular tank with no Booty Grab or do you see an error message? If so, what error do you see? When you click 'Visit My Aquarium' on an aquarium in someone's signature, the link is broken and will not load a new page for a user's aquarium to show up. The link doesn't work when you click on it basically. This makes it impossible for us to post Direct Links to our aquariums in our Glow Threads and from accessing our aquariums and I have been using another link provided by another user who runs a tank thread. Here is the link they gave me with the icon. It is the only way anyone can go to any of our aquariums at the moment to play Booty Grab. emo Thank you, Lanzer! emotion_kirakira Uh oh! Looks like the lastest version of Chrome had disabled links that are inside flash banners. We will make a patch that will create a link right underneath your aquarium signature so everyone can still play Booty Grab. Unfortunately Flash support is slowly going away. codemonkey37179 Shallotte Features: Can you give us a roadmap or a brief idea of what your plans for future site development are? Such as; when you think towns 3 might be done, if and when zOMG will get updated to HTML5 or get new map areas, if current flash games are getting upgraded to HTML5 or not, and when you think the storyline driven events will start up again(from the Gaia NPC poll we had). Any info that you are able to give is appreciated by the community. I'm working on Towns 3 right now. Maybe a few months? Not sure because all the features have not been finalized. Everything that can reasonably be converted to HTML5 will be.

September 18th, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: FeaturesRecently Chrome changed the way it handles Flash, requiring users to re-enable Flash support every time the browser is restarted. Lanzer posted a staff update dressing this and suggested users edit permissions to permanently enable Flash. I'm rather concerned about the various possible security issues this opens users up to. I understand it negatively impacts site usability for a large portion of your users for Chrome to make this change, however that's because Flash is extremely unsafe. Google has been severely limiting Flash over the last few years and has plans to end support for Flash in the next two years. With all of that said, what made you decide to encourage users to permanently enable Flash on their browser over, you know, migrating away from Flash? Or, in a less accusatory tone, when do you anticipate Gaia's games will not be dependent on Flash? Is there a timeline for this? The security change will not allow flash on other sites to run unless you enable it specifically. We currently are migrating Towns and Rally to HTML5, while other Flash games will be next. However, features that are heavy on flash assets such as Aquarium and zOMG cannot be ported over to HTML5 because of the huge amount of flash assets involved in a conversion. We will be focusing on building new games instead. codemonkey37179 Happy _Tropical_Flower Gaia Features/Aquariums/Booty GrabSince the answer for one of the pre-ATS questions is syaing that aquariums/Booty Grab will not be converted to HTML5, how long does the feature have until it's demise? Do you have a specific date and/or year? emo Gotta' say, as a tank owner, I wll be sad to see the feature go... crying Adobe will stop supporting flash in 2020. As long as browsers support it, you can play. There may come a time when browsers stop supporting it altogether. codemonkey37179 Zyqi codemonkey37179 Zyqi GamesWhat will happen to things like Badge Quests once Flash is eliminated? Will there be other ways to get these badges in the 'new games'? Well, this is a bit embarrassing, but none of us know what the badge quest is. That's ok! It's this page. Oh! No plans for that at the moment. Which since we didn't know what it was... should not be surprising. codemonkey37179 Shallotte CandiiFox GamesSo what i've read from the 1st post on here, is that ZoMg and Aquariums will not be ported to HTML 5 and it will be their demise. What about Lake Kindred though ? Codemonkey confirmed last ATS that all(or most) flash games will eventually be updated to HTML5. The first post was only talking about a recent update to chrome that messes with site features. As many as possible. I love writing games.

October 16th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Spirit Crusher Question Category: ItemsQuestion: Are their plans to make animated items non-flash based? (when I click to play the animated avatars in Chrome it just takes me to their profile) Not at this time. There is so much to convert! Flash spaces, games, etc. I hope to do it at some point. It seems like it would be fun to do!

October 23rd, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: FeaturesWhat will happen to Towns 1 and Towns 2 after Flash loses support, will they be combined into Towns 3 or simply be replaced with Towns 3? Towns 3 will replace Towns 1 and Towns 2 in time, we will implement as much features as possible, though some features such as Gaia Homes might not be supported in the future. codemonkey37179 Zakuro Moon codemonkey37179 Zakuro Moon MiscQuestion: From a amateur coders curiosity, How is the transfer going to html5? Which part? Rally 3 is in progress. The HTML5 version of flash spaces. HTML5 spaces is a bit of a mouthful though. Gotta get a better name. Most of it, I'm guessing your changing all the games over to H5? (Is that easier XD). Tackling Rally first. I will get to the games in time. It is a bit easier working on the games. Whenever you have a program where 50 users give input at the same time, it gets complicated.

October 31st, 2018: codemonkey37179 I x I - A D R I A N I've been away for 10 long years and glade to be back. I notice the site hasn't change much, I guess if it isn't broken don't fix it right. Anyways my question is, do you guys see yourself updating the site for modern times? A lot of time site still run on flash. I'm studying Game Design at Full Sail University, when I graduate maybe I can work you guys 3nodding or just do some networking with you guys because I know for a fact networking is important. YES

November 6th, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: GameI'm sure a lot of people have asked this already, but just encase. Since the site will eventually be moving from Flash to HTML5, will we still be able to play zOMG? zOMG is available as long as your web browser support it. When Chrome drop support for flash, there will probably be another browser that support it.

November 13th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Knight Yoshi codemonkey37179 Adolf Galland Features(?)I have heard rumors that Gaia Towns/Aquariums/zOMG will be discontinued due to the pending discontinuation of Flash, is there any indication of when this is supposed to happen? There is no date set for anything. We are going to convert as many things to HTML5 as possible. The list of what will be converted and what will not has not been finalized. Butt Lanzer already said Aquariums and zOMG won't be updated ninja Or is there some reconsideration about that? Not if he said it. I've 1000s of things I'm working on, so I had not even considered Aquariums and zOMG. codemonkey37179 Stariore ItemsWith Astra having been rendered inactive for some due to the whole thing with Flash, does Gaia have plans for a new series of animated items in the future? Just curious because I miss getting new animated items and it would be cool to get some that work without issue for the modern Gaia. 3nodding I miss it too, and I've looked into it. We are just so busy with other stuff. Best I can give you is a maybe. smile
