The first phase of our major Character upgrade has been completed. Our dolls are over 10 years old now and were created in flash. A lot has changed since then and flash is pretty much dead - even YouTube has stopped using it! For us this was a major issue, as flash doesn't load on mobiles or tablets. It has also got slower and more unstable for desktop users too. Characters have switched to PNG images in all parts of the site now and you should already noticed a huge difference in the speed of the site.
There are a few changes. Shops and galleries can no longer have a different experience than profiles. Animated clothing or experiences are static now. If you play Marapets on desktop, flash will still be used at the Lush Fountain and Wardrobe previews. The next phase is the revamp of the Male Doll. We have been busy redrawing and fixing all male clothes. Yesterday we completed 434 male clothes - officially half way done!
The Gonk and Equilor can now wear the Space Fairy Costume. The Equilor and Troit can now wear the Toddler Costume.
We completed a Server Update yesterday without any downtime. For those interested, we have installed Railgun - this cuts down on bandwidth, transfer time, and overall page load times. Railgun caches these differences in memory to make page processing as fast as possible. Marapets now runs even faster than before - we hope you noticed the changes!
The Agatha, Capone, Edwina, Nimble, Sneaky and Tokem can now wear the Ball of Moonlight Yarn.
Oh, I have a question, will the male clothes be made unisex too? I have always wanted to be able to wear the ninja pants but they're only for male dolls.
I never knew you could have a different Experience in your Shop then profile so no biggie there for me lol. The site is running a lot faster so that is nice.
This is a huge undertaking and I am Happy you are working on Wardrobes. This means that there will be new clothes to replace the ones you create Unisex then? I am Excited to see that. I hope there will be new categories for our Wardrobes so we can wear more things at once. Such as Wings, Antennas, Ears, Jackets/Over Tops (The ones we wear over other clothes),Be Nice to Wear Eye Shadow and Liner at the same time. Be able to wear more than one Jewelry at a time and Multiple Tattoos. Lol I am just excited and I can't wait to see the finished project! Thanks for all the Hard work!
