General Updates: October 4

Welcome to October... the month of SPOOK and FRIGHT........ Are you ready for what hauntings await you?

AM-BOOOOO (ready for morostide y'all)

has been doing the heavy lifting on the Cash Shop revamp (please check his section for rad screenshots!!) while I tag a billion items. SOOOOON themed items in the Cash Shop will have their actual item types, for example A Desert Full of Bones will have the item type 'book' instead of 'themed item'. The Cash Shop will still be separated by "item types", but in a way that allows and I to actually make themed items make sense outside of the Cash Shop.

You might've noticed last week some cash shop items were showing up on Shop Search in the Zombie Den— I fixed that, and once we push this revamp, you'll see if items are in the Cash Shop (currently or not currently) or in the Neela area. Gold Account Medals will also link to the Gold Account page when using Shop Search! :)

okay back to tagging and testing <3

SPOOOOOOOKY BUG

Hiiii! So as mentioned, we have been working on revamping almost all of the cash shop. Or maybe actually all of it. She promised that I'd give you screenshots in my section, so... here they are!! DISCLAIMER: This is a huge work-in-progress that we're still tweaking and changing, so what you see in the screenshots below isn't necessarily what will go live when it is finished. It's just a peek behind the scenes to show you what we've been cooking up :D

Click on a screenshot to see the full size!

Here's a sneak peek of an aesthetic revamp of the CS Boutique...

Here's a sneak peek of a new layout for the reward card page...

Finally, here's a sneak peek of the new Neela page, one of the stores we're converting to the special-shops system. This conversion modernizes the code and makes it more consistent with the rest of the site, and also makes it easier for us to put in new features and tweaks to any of these shops. The items section and gold account section of the cash shop will also be updated in this way.

A few other notes about the cash shop revamp...

  • Most pages are going to get at least a minor facelift, like the Billboards page and the Chance machines
  • There are confirmation pop-ups wherever you spend CSC. Though now this should also be less of an issue, since you'll click a Buy button instead of the item image to purchase it, so you won't accidentally click it while trying to wishlist an item (for instance)
  • We are looking into the possible inclusion of a search feature as well (!!)

If you have any other questions about this revamp, or anything mentioned here, feel free to ping me or :)

Oh and a quick note unrelated... The images for the game Decanter of Indestructibility have been updated. It was previously using old images for items that have since been revamped, and now it's using the correct images for everything (yay) (EDIT - This might take a few minutes because I JUST deployed it, so don't worry if it doesn't show the new images for you yet)

Thank you for this update. I was wondering when the HAs will be updated so that they no longer toggle between the last 10 or so I've created. I just love looking at HA's (and making them!) and they seem to be outdated older ones at random. I am never sure if the person I am complimenting is actually wearing the items I am seeing or a totally new outfit.

Thank you again! The cash shop update looks fantastic, by the way, I love how streamlined and modern it now looks. All your hard work is greatly appreciated! <3

I am SO looking forward to the Cash Shop revamp! That place has felt kind of outdated for a while, but at least it still works. The new versions of the pages look much nicer though, and definitely more consistent with other areas of the site now (like the special shops).

Can't wait until it gets implemented for everyone! :)

There is already a topic for that issue, which posted on yesterday. HA keeps shifting

Just a general reminder, please don't post off topic on the site update threads. These topics are not a place to bring up unrelated things in the hopes of getting staff attention. It is better to post in the appropriate place, as better organization makes it easier for us to keep track of things :)

Sorry that this is off topic but i noticed you mention a possible search feature for the CS shop and was wondering if that might be possible for our CW shops on the shop management page as well. Or if we will/could be getting some organization options ( aka sort per item # or alphabetical etc). If there is a different place i should post this please let me know.

Oh! I didn't know about that -- thanks for the link and information! I thought this would be one of the types of thing you'd talk about in a weekly update. I don't know how I'm going to keep all these different things straight in my mind. The mind is an interesting thing to lose and as you get older it seems to happen more frequently.

You can check if there is a topic somewhere in the Suggestions forum, and if not, you can make one :)

There might be an existing topic for CW improvements though. I remember referencing one a lot when I was revamping the CW shops!

Thanks so much for the updates and your hard work. I would like to see the themed items group in their themes not by cost. Maybe separated in boxes so a group of 7 or however many in the set are together by cost.

What ever happened to the inventory revamp? Last I heard it was supposed to be in beta testing for GA users, and then it kind of disappeared.

I can talk with a bit about possibly getting just the Themed Tab to be ordered by ID, so the sets are together.

It's a thing I have to rebuild because I'm dumb and didn't put my branch on github (which I should've after I kept getting distracted by other projects) and then we did a lot of moving around on the backend so I lost that work. Good news, I've learned a lot since then! It's on my list to do after I finish tagging/getting these items done for Cash Shop stuff. :)
