Can you do an upgrade on the aquarium please?


we'll have to choose carefully on what features we wish to convert form flash to HTML5. We'll be asking for your opinions plus gauging on the difficulty and time required to make the conversion, and also compare that with creating something totally new. No promises yet, but we'll switch focus to those after we finished with the mobile app.

Question: Can Booty Grab please get some attention and love? Please, please, please??? I used to love to play this game and fill my tank with fantastic creatures but when you get the same things over & over & they are the caliber of an octopus on your head for a full tank of Enkis, it kills the fun! Please update and bring life back to Booty Grab! xd Not everyone is into ZOMG.


Flash games on Gaia need a big overhaul, and Aquarium + Booty Grab is gonna need a lot of effort to be done right. We can look into adjusting the rewards however, if that might help

Is it possible to have an update to the pay out from the Overseer?
The max is 555 gg. It is worthless compared to every other game or even the DC's.


That will be fixed during the economy update.

Can we get an increase in the gold cap in booty grab? I feel like that feature is getting neglected because of zOMG and Lake Kindred. neutral


Not likely. I'm not even confident we can compile it successfully at this point sad

Sounds like it's time to add it to games to rebuild in HTML5/JavaScript/Unity.

Just adding to your work load, aren't we. blaugh


That does tend to happen.

What game was this in reference to?

Is it possible to make the jukebox/TVs in the Gaia houses to play music that was listed up by the house owner? Also an Aquarium which directs to the Booty Grab if it glows?

[two other questions on unrelated topics]

It's a lot but it's what I was thinking for a long while now.


I'm not sure what you mean about the music lists. I'm not putting too much into towns at the moment until I can work out how we can port it into html5/mobile. Al the other ideas seem like ideas worth exploring but not sure we have the time right now.

Hi I was just wondering will there be any updates on Gaia aquariums? The 'tap' features doesn't seem to work anymore and games like booty grab don't really pay enough,the aquarium forum has been pretty inactive because of this as many people just play lake kindred or zOMG


Aquariums had been taking a back seat since we are focused on the core features. When things like the economy still requires attention, it's hard to focus on others. Then we'll need to update Towns from flash. Features that are heavy on Flash assets such as Aquarium and zOMG might not get a conversion to HTMl5.

Those dead fish drops that we get from the dead fish in out aquariums, can the items in them please be updated? The items we pull form them are worthless now since they are so common. I think if they were updated it would revive some interest with maintaining a tank.


I'll ask about putting some alchemy items there, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Booty Grab doesn't give out any platinum, is it possible to fix this? I played a game and it just gave me 0 platinum.


We must have missed the granting code for booty grab. Will have it fixed later this week! eek

Is Aquariums ever going to get any sort of update?


No news at the moment, we will probably work on Towns after Gaia Mobile, and we're not sure when we can get to Aquarium yet, as there are a lot of Flash features that need updating.

Is it possible to earn platinum from games? I've tried playing booty grab, jigsaw puzzle, and zOMG but I don't think my platinum count is increasing. I really like the new system and I want to make more money but I don't really know how!


All the games should be granting platinum! The icons have not been changed yet.

Games/Features (Booty Grab rewards)

Yesterday Lanzer told us BG was now granting platinum but it is stuck on granting 1 platinum per game no matter how many coins you collect. (right after the fix I was getting about 15 platinum per game but later it was/is only granting 1p per game)

Is this going to be permanent or will it be adjusted?


I didn't get to check since I couldn't find a glowing tank. I'll go back to fixing the bug tonight!

BG is still glitched to granting 1p for any game of BG no matter what your coin catch. People are getting 1p for a score of 0 and 1p for scores of 800+

Is this going to be fixed before september?


Uh oh, the first fix didn't seem to work. We'll fix it again this week.

I was wondering if the Overseer Aquarium Gold grant will ever be adjusted for Platinum.
The highest I've ever seen it grant is ~200 Gold, which is really tiny considering Platinum is a thing now.


I thought we adjusted the amount. I'll check on it later tonight.

I miss visiting my Aquarium, but because it's still running
in Flash, it lags too much to be usable. Are you planning
to remake the Aquarium into HTML5 format in the future?


Not right away. We will need to do something with Aquariums before long.

With Flash dying, will we see the end of the Aquariums? And if so, is Mirai going to disappear like Edy did?


We have no plans to scrap aquariums.

Is there any way you guys could look into the issue with Booty Grab? It loads and plays just fine for me, but at the end it glitches and I don't get my gold cat_crying There is another user that had the same problem today. Please help us.


Sorry, meant to have a look last week. I literally put it on my list for today.

BOOTYGRAB


Bootygrab is still faulty right now, and i get that it'll take some time to fix.
I was wondering though, that maybe in the mean time - you should either give out the gold/plat mentioned in the auto generated pm's about daily Tank earnings/plays OR just put those pm's on pause until a solution is found.

Someone with concerns in bug forum ->
Guro Desu
So this is the first time I've 'earned' gold/plat from bootygrab as a tank owner.

I received a PM stating my account received 5,390,000,000 gold / 539 plat
But no such amount was granted to me.

If i'm going to be receiving proof, through pm's daily, that i earned money
but never get credited, I'm going to become very annoyed ( and sad ;v; )

is this a recurring thing for everyone with tanks???


Oh that's a feature that I forgot to update. I just fixed the gameplay portion. The reporting might be off especially if you have not been converted to platinum. I will address this after releasing the halloween event.

Could you improve Gaia Aquarium please? Transform in a good place to get platinum etc. I used to love playing old times, but now is almost abandoned. crying


We will be refreshing old flash games this year, though not sure if we can convert aquarium as it has so many flash content that is difficult to convert to HTML5 properly. We will however up the reward amount pretty soon.

When I click on the link given that takes you to the person's tank, majority of them take me to a blank white page. I don't see anyone mentioning the same problem so I don't know if it's just me.


I thought I've fixed all major aquarium bugs. Is the regular aquarium feature working for you?

Since I read Lanzer mentioning that Aquariums code is so old, along with his not mentioning but other's mentioning that zOMG's code being old as well, once all Gaia games are upgraded to HTML5, will these games be left behind? Meaning, not exist on Gaia anymore?


We will always have them available. You'll just need a browser that can run flash.
