July 10th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Pokemon Trainer Jess Features, .towns 3 i know towns 3 is being made so my question is Can towns 3 include a avatar updater button or maybe a phone booth in the town so people can change avatars fast and wont have to Refresh towns when they wanna change there avatars? While an interesting idea, I am going to try to keep the code light for Towns 3 to ensure it runs fast. If you changed outfits it would have to update everyone else's computers/phones. Right now we just load the avatar images when you load Towns. Changing outfits in the middle of Towns would cause incredible lag.

July 17th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Lady Raisha How is the new towns coming along? How much longer will it be before we see an updated gaia mobile app with the new towns implemented? We are in the planning stages of Towns 3. We've got a lot of mobile stuff we are working on. Lanzer lilloulou Features:Out of pure curiosity, do you need to redo artworks for Towns 3 or just the code? Because mobile platforms are often much smaller in screen size, we might need to re-do some artwork. It's gonna be a lot of work either way. sweatdrop

August 7th, 2018: codemonkey37179 2 shots of vodka Question Category Features Will there be an events added to Towns 2 like there had been in Towns 1 all those years ago? I really enjoyed the swimming pools and balloon fights, along with all the other seasoned events there! Added: I feel like this would be a great way to sorta add influx to flash spaces for those of us who do enjoy them. Since the IM feature is gone, it's like the only way of getting the IM feel imo. No, but maybe in Towns 3.

August 21st-22nd, 2018: codemonkey37179 shaneificient FeaturesI just came back from a long hiatus and Gaia cinemas are no longer a thing? Is there any particular reason the theatre was removed? gonk Wow! How long have you been gone? I'm not sure, as they were gone when I got here in 2011! Lanzer Wow welcome back after so many years! The main attraction for Cinemas was a partnership that got us movies to play on the site, and that partnership expired after a year. As for the Youtube portion, there were a couple of problems at the time, one of which was that there was moderation issues with us not being able to filter content. Never the less I would love to have a similar feature back. Maybe after we got the whole HTML5 Towns 3 thing sorted out. We shall see! codemonkey37179 Purplesnoopy FeaturesHave you considered adding some additional features or elements when doing towns 3? Maybe there are active NPCs, or the apartments have roof gardens, or we have a jukebox option in our houses to play music from links? (Think of how Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire changed Hoenn...) Right now I'm adding chat, so the fancy feature planning is some time off!

August 28th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Alice Allusion codemonkey37179 Hi everyone, welcome to ATS. Lanzer will be joining us shortly. What's up? Not much yourself? Busy putting together towns 3. The chat bubbles are being a problem! codemonkey37179 Tyler558 FeaturesHey, there~ Will we ever see a Gaia Online Prom like the virtual one back in 2008? That were the days! Or maybe even a theatre replacement? surprised I don't know. Maybe. We like recycling events. As far as the theater even the staff keeps asking about that one. We have a lot of mobile and towns 3 to do before deciding what's next!

September 11th, 2018: 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. codemonkey37179 Pokemon Trainer Jess Games, whats the word on towns 3 when can we expect to see it on gaia? How about 2 words? "In Progress" Yesterday I worked on the chat bubble code that makes the bubbles get out of the way of each other.

October 16th, 2018: codemonkey37179 bunniplant codemonkey37179 CherenTheCat GamesWill Towns 2 ever be fixed so it actually works? No. Because I am working on the Towns 3 engine right now. Rally 3 is in testing now! You'll be able to go to Towns on desktop or mobile. will towns 3 have bugs to catch? i can't currently make inks for the life of me D: Probably. I'm working on Rally right now. codemonkey37179 Knight Yoshi It will all use the same engine, yeah? The different hangouts should be accessible from inside of each other. Like walking up to a parking lot arrow takes you over to Rally (or fast travel too). Just so it's easier to access them without closing and opening windows  Once all the maps are done I don't see why not. The original towns, rally, and vh were all separate programs, though they used a lot of the same code. Over the years changes were made to the copies of that code by different devs, so each program was a little different. When I made Towns2 it didn't make sense to it that way, so I just loaded the rally and vh maps into Towns 2. I'm planning on the new versions being the same way. It makes more sense to maintain one code base than 3.

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 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. Riyokuma codemonkey37179 Pie Why not just call 'em... I 'unno, Social Spaces, or something like that? Focus on the purpose rather than the backend. I like the name "Social Spaces"! Anybody else like that? Better than the ones I was thinking of H Spaces or 5 Hangouts. lol [ I've been using the term Virtual Worlds in this thread for the past couple months, but if Gaia Staff officially settles on something else I'll adopt their term. -Platonix] codemonkey37179 TheOpenBox FeaturesIs there going to be a alpha/beta for new HTML5 hangouts (Towns3, Rally, and all updated old flash spaces)? If so, is there a way to get into those tests or will it be announced in the future? For members of Scas, there is already a test in progress.

October 31st, 2018: codemonkey37179 tiny letters @Staff,
What are you doing to increase the longevity of gaia as a whole, besides letting it ride on the community/friendships that have been made?
Anything new in the works?
Anything EXCITING?
Also, why is trick or treating in shops still an event? Have you TESTED it? It's literally the most boring thing that you could possibly ever do :c
I miss towns events. Well, the most exciting thing I'm working on is the new Towns system. We will be starting with Rally. This is a remake of the flash spaces into HTML5. This means we will be able to have virtual spaces on mobile devices. I miss towns events too. Maybe we can have them in the future. Lanzer Sorry we had bee super busy with the server migration since 3 months ago, but Codemonkey is busy with the Towns 3 and we should be able to add event activities in Towns after it's completed. codemonkey37179 2sammygate townsis towns 3 going to have functioning bug catching? the bug catching never worked in towns 2, they would always stop spawning. D: probably. codemonkey37179 The Morgue codemonkey37179 The Morgue @Lanzer, don't forget fix rally or towns 2 . : Just me or everyone is gone rally? The chat server is down. It will be back soon. The main servers have to be all fixed and running first. We should have the new Rally before Christmas. Ah, thank you. New rally? D: But everyone love the old one or towns. But you guys should do like vote to see who want or like or dislike as well.. I'll be can't wait when rally fix soon. Gonna be much happy or normal back days either. We can't keep the old ones because they are in flash. We have to convert or lose them for good. The good news is that the new rally works on your phone or tablet. codemonkey37179 No Im Nikki [...] Also are you gonna be bringing back where it shows when people are typing or when they are AFK? I really loved that and was just curious. Thanks emotion_bigheart I haven't yet, but it isn't hard to add. I'll keep it in mind. codemonkey37179 aquito Features
town 1 I just remember now lol When everything is fixed (soon) can we have the halloween theme in town 1 like its 2011?  I don't even know where that feature is anymore. However, in towns 2, back in 2015 when I knew I was leaving Gaia the first time, I coded Halloween and Christmas to turn on automatically, so it should be there.

November 6th, 2018: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: FeaturesWill Towns 3 have multiplayer minigames? Towns 3 is early in its development but we'll definitely let Codemonkey add more features to make it better. We'd love to hear any ideas you have for Towns 3 Lanzer Alice Allusion GamesAny plans to bring back trick or treating and caroling to town? It'll have to be in Towns 3 since we won't be making additions to Towns 2 but we would love to add Halloween component to Towns. codemonkey37179 Athearn when will rally come back on line? We didn't know it was down. We are on it! Lanzer Zakuro Moon Features A few years ago Lanzer said that towns was going to have monsters we could I Think he said would could capture. Is that ever going to happen? Not sure if I said exactly that, since my memory is really bad sweatdrop But we will be adding more to Towns 3 once it's released. codemonkey37179 Arimle Vardo Other:Is anyone going to ever address to Gaia user who launches DoS attacks on Gaia members who would frequent Rally? Figured I'd post it here since we can't get a reply anywhere else. We updated the chat servers some time back to prevent this. If it is still happening please report the user using the report system in the flash space.

November 13th, 2018: 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. codemonkey37179 Telegraph Avenue GamesHeyo. I've tried entering flash spaces such as Towns2 and Rally, but I get a General Error page that states "Invalid Game Specified". What does that mean? I'm not getting that error. Are you entering from the top menu or some other link? codemonkey37179 Oh! I see it now. We can fix that, but for now, use the drop-down link Lanzer Whoops, a few of the Towns 2 and Rally links are pointed to https, they should have been http:// . Please use the pull down menu for now and we'll have that fixed soon

November 20th, 2018: codemonkey37179 Vinified Victoria codemonkey37179 Its Picture Time Dear Gaia Staff, Including you too Lanzer~. Question: Will Rally ever get back to its former glory like it was in '09? I know i'm living in the past, but I miss making the rooms in Rally, going into the party store there, and racing! Will Gaia ever do something with Rally? Please reply, but if you don't I understand. P.S: Lanzer, You are one of the best site owners, one of the best person I know really. Keep doing what you do best!! P.S.S: Thank you to whoever reads this, replies, and listens to my ramble. I am currently working on Rally 3 which you will be able to play on the go via a mobile device! Sooo ninja , we are working on mobile device accessibility? emotion_awesome Yaaaaaaay heart Yes. To be accurate I'm making Rally in HTML5. It is coming along nicely. Lanzer and I just had a conversation in the new rally just a few days ago. I just need to put some of the features in, like emotes, jump to a friend feature, and the supermarket map. codemonkey37179 Knight Yoshi Awe, man. I'd love to hear some of these conversations you guys have. gonk Not much to hear. Just some technical things. We did talk about jumping and flipping actions. codemonkey37179 Mystical Kitty Cat Events/GamesWill we see any holiday events in Towns? (If there ever were any in there.) If there were any events in Towns in the past, what were they like? I've been to Towns 2 and its boring imo. sad Maybe if some of the old school stuff that I've heard about was brought back in other games, it would attract Gaians back to the site? Well, we are going forward. None this year, but Towns 3 should be out by this time next year. What old school stuff did you have in mind?

Hi there, I checked and see the same as you. I've passed it along! Lanzer Fiona2345 Categorie question : Game Question : I was wondering when town1 is going to be fix? We've found more problems with flash games just now, we will be fixing that first, and will be looking into Towns 1 after that. We can only ask those who had been using Towns 1 to use Towns 2 for the time being. (of course, we need to fix all the flash games first)
