Have you ever thought about turning the Aquarium items into the actual items for our avatars?
The Aquarium Backgrounds would make great background items! The terrains would be cute partial background items too!
All the plants, rocks, lanterns, lights, stickers, and stuff would be fun as well as actual items!


That's a great idea! We will look into and see if any of them would work. All items are made in Flash so it might or might not translate into pixel art properly.

Question Category Booty Grab

Question: Could Booty Grab please get some love & attention? It's my favorite game on Gaia & has been for years. Many times, I get a great grab & it comes up showing I got ONE plat, instead of the 750 I earned. Sure would like that to be fixed & some new fish, etc. Please?


I'll try to get a fix in again. Looks like I messed up the first time doing it.

*eternal frustration*

WHEN are you guys ever gonna take the useless aquarium backgrounds and decors out of the Daily Chance carts? This was promised to us three years ago and I am so tired of getting them and then having to trash em.


For the longest time we had only been adding more items to Daily Chance. We will start removing some of these items in the coming weeks

Question: Are we going to see any improvements to the Flash Games any time soon?


Because flash is no longer supported by Adobe, we won't be making changes to the current flash games, any new development will be done in HTML5 and we will start concerting certain flash games to HTML5 one by one. Although Aquarium might take longer as it has a lot of assets that were made in Flash. We could potentially migrate everything to Unity when the time comes, but that'll be further down the road.

Question: Could Booty Grab get some love/attention? I've been playing since I started Gaia & it would be nice to have some new fish and new items from the drops too. Also, when I play, I earn a ton of booty and it continually comes out as just ONE for me and also for the tank owner. Could this please be fixed? Maybe even an event centered around Booty Grab like the last event was centered around Lake Kindred? Thank you for listening! smile

I love Booty Grab as a game and I've also spent many hours playing it. I can increase the platinum payout and I'll ask and see what else we can throw into the prize pool such as the higher end fishes or event items.

features: gift boxes
if you happen to get a flying gift box on the aquarium page and try to click on it you get the message that it cant connect to the server or server refused
can you look into taking gift boxes off the aquarium page?


I'll file that bug for a fix. Need to get some debugging done to see what is broken.

features: cars / aquarium

any chance these can be made html5 or just html so users can use them again, there essentially no longer useable at the moment


Unfortunately Aquarium is not likely to get an HTML5 treatment since all the fishes are animated in Flash and it won't work in HTML5 easily. Cars uses a simplier system, will look into it on a later time. First we need to release the HTML5 version of Towns.

Can the Timer for Booty Grab be fixed ?

=^~^=

It's been down for quite some weeks now !

Regds & Peace

Are you referring to the timer that a Gaian build to display glow times? Please provide as much detail as you can in a bug report, that will greatly increase the chance of an issue being fixed. Thank you.

I know that the link for the timer service recently stopped working. We can potentially build a similar tool, but it won't be done until after the Christmas event as we're completely focused on it at the moment.

Question
what if anything is being done about multiple issues about bootygrab?


From what I know, the user created service isn't working anymore, I can look into creating a timer to replace what was lost.

Aquarium tank analyzers are down and it's hard to find people who are glowing. In addition, the gold given out in booty grab is not substantial. I think that forum might die soon.
General Panic. eek eek eek
Are there plans to fix/change anything for the aquarium?


After Christmas I'll work on an analyzer for you guys. Will adjust the prize also.

when will the glow timer for Booty Grab be fixed???? it is the user made one....it really made Booty Grab so much easier to play....


If you're talking about the timer that was made by another Gaian, that timer was unfortunately no longer in service. We can build a timer to make it easier to find glowing tanks, but the recent event and feature release had kept us pretty busy. I'll see about adding something like an NPC to post glow times in the forum when I get a chance.

when can we get glow rates of Booty Grab be fixed....we are getting false times for our glows....meaning we are told we will glow at a certain time but we do not....these false glows are hurting us in the Booty Grab community....


Sorry I wasn't aware that the error was specific to the times given in the notification. There is a chance that the schedule server's clock might be out of sync. I will check on it today and see what I can get fixed.


Lanzer

Why have the times that users glow decreased? I understand much comes into the equation of when a tank glows, yet I can hunt through tanks as of late and am hard pressed to find a tank that actually allows me to plunder it. It seems as though the fish have gone on strike to avoid glowing. Is there a reason for this?


There had been no changes to the Aquarium glow scheduler. Though there could be a bug with the system clock or something. I will look into that later tonight.

Will the Aquarium be ported to HTML5 like towns and rally? I couldn't buy anything in Phin Phang shop for alchemy while in mobile. I'd also like to play Booty Grab in my phone and tablet too.


It is not up to me, but the technical requirements are a nightmare for the aquarium.
Lanzer
As Codemonkey said, the main issue is that flash is a very good at handling things like animation, while converting things like the swimming behaviors into HTML5 would be a tremendous amount of work for the number of fishes we have.
