Yay for the den being open that long. No luck with the new travels or the new critter ;-;

toplel • 20 Mar 2018, 2:04 PM

Thats cool!

audaciousness • 20 Mar 2018, 2:04 PM

Yayyy

paige • 20 Mar 2018, 2:05 PM

❤️

katrinwolf • 20 Mar 2018, 2:21 PM

Yay to the Dragold's Den... as for the design, I can only manage a sigh.

immortalraven • 20 Mar 2018, 3:11 PM

Not a fan of the happiness bar being so large but other than that it isn't bad

saturna • 20 Mar 2018, 3:12 PM

Yay! Thank you, Egg Cave team! 😃

isathebelle • 20 Mar 2018, 3:16 PM

Wow, Thank you so much!!! EGG CAVE TEAM,rocks yeah 😃

icecloud101 • 20 Mar 2018, 3:23 PM

Egg cave team is awesome! I noticed the creature profiles have changed also!

sparklefox • 20 Mar 2018, 3:30 PM

The health bar and text is... so big now. I can get used to it, though.

katrinwolf • 20 Mar 2018, 3:34 PM

@sparklefox Okay, I'm not the only one irritated by the Giant Cucumber of Happiness...

kudo • 20 Mar 2018, 3:35 PM

ehhh the text is uh... displaced...(?) now, i'll have to go fix it up but the den is great 😊

skyfall4 • 20 Mar 2018, 4:11 PM

Health bar would be cool if there was at least a percentage on the happiness cucumber saying how much health... lol xD To me, the black sentence above is not enough xD

veritaspunk • 20 Mar 2018, 6:02 PM

Yeah I'd much prefer text to be within the happiness meter ... it seems too displaced as @silvershadow commented. *happiness cucumber* lol

iris1929578 • 20 Mar 2018, 6:51 PM

Yay, almost half a month! Expecting it to be a week 😃

lucas • 20 Mar 2018, 7:04 PM

I like the new profiles! Though the percentage being inside the bar would be cooler, imo 😋

degong • 20 Mar 2018, 11:17 PM

@katrinwolf The health bar is now officially called the Giant Cucumber of Happiness. 😸 But, yeah, I agree. I think the percentage should be inside the cucumber to add contrast so my eyes don't bleed neon green. x3 Or, at least, decrease the size of the cucumber. 😊

kudo • 20 Mar 2018, 11:20 PM

the cucumber of happiness is rather lacking in details ^^"

icymuffin • 20 Mar 2018, 11:50 PM

Yeah, I never paid much attention, but now the health bar feels like its screaming to be the focal point of creature profiles

kudo • 21 Mar 2018, 2:12 AM

@icymuffin yeah it feels like that

katrinwolf • 21 Mar 2018, 4:44 AM

@bagel Same. I mean... it's still called the CREATURE's profile, right? To be honest, the new profiles'design was rubbing me the wrong way so much I even made a rant in the forums... maybe I'm overreacting, but still, we can at least agree on the Pickle of Joy.

nexu • 21 Mar 2018, 5:02 AM

Yay, thanks ^^

sybil_howlett • 21 Mar 2018, 10:42 AM

@vivastable I'm happy you got a youngold 😃 it's so beautiful ❤️

Ian • 21 Mar 2018, 11:18 AM

@katrinwolf @bagel @icymuffin @silvershadow giant happiness cucumber has been updated. How does it look now to you? ❤️

telekinec • 21 Mar 2018, 11:34 AM

@Ian I think it's great, but I also think they were advocating to make the creature's picture bigger (level and name too), which I kind of agree with them and right now there are a lot of white space besie the creature's picture. But the smaller cucumber is more pleasing 😊

prairie • 21 Mar 2018, 11:34 AM

@Ian, I personally liked the creature being on the left of the feed bar, but I can see how having it smaller and centered over the feed bar is easier for mobile. I think its funny its used on Desktop as well though. XD

prairie • 21 Mar 2018, 11:38 AM

Kinda feel like there is a ton of unneeded white space. Might just be because for so long the section was more narrow and filled in, and I was used to that for the past 5 years. XD

novrain62 • 21 Mar 2018, 12:48 PM

The creature hasn't gotten bigger, as a matter of fact, my Essence of Litsdnats is bigger than my creature. I've always thought the Creature should be the focal point, not everything else. Also, the Hatch Date has disappeared and I liked that feature. I liked it the old way.

icymuffin • 21 Mar 2018, 12:58 PM

Looks quite nice & clean now~

ethereality • 21 Mar 2018, 1:18 PM

Giant Cucumber of Happiness LOL xD yall are hilarious. I do like the change now though 😃

paige • 21 Mar 2018, 2:27 PM

I really like the newest layout, thanks Ian !

Ian • 21 Mar 2018, 2:34 PM

@icymuffin @paige @ethereality thank you guys! ❤️

Ian • 21 Mar 2018, 2:34 PM

@novrain62 which creature is hatched at missing for you? These timestamps should all still be here. Please submit a ticket about this (don't ping me back about this specifically). 😊

Ian • 21 Mar 2018, 2:35 PM

@prairie yeah, it looks different in general now that the happiness bar doesn't occupy all of the space (whitespace is more present). There is no way to make creature images larger, as they are fixed at 90x90. Let me know if you have any other types of suggestions. ❤️

sorrow • 21 Mar 2018, 3:02 PM

I like the new layout, but sometimes when I bring my mouse down from the top of my page when speed-feeding I get redirected to a shop because of the dropdowns, which cover up part of the feed button if they're dropped down. Just a little annoying.

icecloud101 • 21 Mar 2018, 3:05 PM

@ian love the new look!

katrinwolf • 21 Mar 2018, 3:32 PM

@Ian Sorry, a bit late, wanted to see both mobile & desktop layout before commenting - yay, a nice little Happiness Cornichon! 😸 And my line of sight is back to straight from a zigzag on mobile, which is also good news.

skyfall4 • 21 Mar 2018, 3:52 PM

Yay! However, on a computer screen, so much white space O_O The tiny green cucumber makes my sight wonky, it's so small xDDD overall, yay!

icymuffin • 21 Mar 2018, 3:57 PM

There is no winning :'>

katrinwolf • 21 Mar 2018, 4:30 PM

@icymuffin Been playing around with the layout in Paint and made something I liked... then suddenly realized I've almost re-invented V1. Duh.

katrinwolf • 21 Mar 2018, 4:33 PM

And I'm sure that's not going to work... the two layouts are most likely too connected for that. The mobile one does look crisp right now, no complaints. But looks like making one that'll maintain the same level of awesome on big&small screens alike is not really possible...

iris1929578 • 21 Mar 2018, 6:08 PM

Yay, "cucumber"! XD when was that "cucumber" name invented?

jeanne • 21 Mar 2018, 6:27 PM

@Ian IMO: I'd like the picture larger also the level beneath the picture made readable and a huge sigh: WHY the drop down menu back? It was one thing I really liked about V3 not having those curtains roll down whenever I passed them on the way up to close tab.

skyfall4 • 21 Mar 2018, 6:42 PM

I personally don't mind the drop downs 😊 I'd rather not click as much xD

solaris • 21 Mar 2018, 6:58 PM

I am super impressed. The loading speed is incredible! I can feed creatures twice as fast now. Loving this update! 10/10!

kudo • 21 Mar 2018, 8:03 PM

@Ian it looks a lot better now thanks 😃 ❤️

sylviana • 21 Mar 2018, 8:11 PM

I love how the pet pages are loading more quickly now! "Happiness cucumber," haha 😃 I liked when the picture was bigger too, but no preference with the happiness meter size.

raindrops • 22 Mar 2018, 6:19 AM

❤️ Congrats To @Ian & Ec Team For Working Monotonously On The Game. Through The Few Hiccups Ian & Team Worked Extremely Hard & Fast To Get All Fixed. Ur hard Work & Effort To Keep The Game Fun Safe & Running Smoothly R Greatly Appreciated ❤️

silverserpent • 22 Mar 2018, 7:35 AM

Just need to say that the Dragold plushie up there is adorable. Never seen it before. 😊

Ian • 22 Mar 2018, 10:51 AM

Thanks everyone for your feedback ❤️ It sounds like the latest look is working pretty well.
