Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The best news this week was that we were finally able to re-open the Casino games. Though to avoid confusion that our casino games involves actually gambling either virtual or real money, we're taking away the word "casino" for now. I'm still a little worried about the casino look and feel though... sweatdrop

The new invite system is actually part of a big project to bring back the old look and feel of Gaia. After so much time spent on making new features, we felt obligated to make the site reflect all these features and changes, but then a lot of what made Gaia different as a world was stripped away, as many new users came to ask "what do I do now?" after joining Gaia. As we debug the new invite system, all the old features from registration, the front page, the Gaia map, and even the forum pages will be worked on to make sure that Gaia feels like the world which it was.

One of our last big feature push before we reach beta is the Battle system. I'm really excited about its progress, though a lot of work still needs to be done on the server end... Making the front end is already a lot of work, yet having a server that can relay information back and forth between everyone online is extremely hard. crying

We're coming really close to releasing the next mini-game! Keep your eyes out for new announcements next week. wink
