Lanzer's Journal
Back from Otakon
Just had a terrific weekend at Baltimore. Otakon always carry this energy that's focused on the fandom of being an anime fan. Somehow, having less big name companies and booths present does help bring the focus back on the fans than the materials being consumed. That is why I like to make the visit every year, and certainly, from a Gaia point of view, I wish that we can continue to harness an atmosphere that's focused on Gaians and their communities, or Gaians being their creative selves serving each other in our virtual world.

This is hopefully one of the last convention where we show off news and screencaps of zOMG. Being able to fulfill this 3 year long promise is going to be very rewarding. Though as a team who is delivering a game for the first time, I know that there will be many risks of us screwing up the gameplay, but I hope that through user feedback we can polish the game up after the game's release.

As we come close to finishing up the game, most of our time and resources had been pulled to make the release happen as fast as possible. During that time, some of the fixes and new features are being slowed down. Please be patient and we'll get back on-track ASAP!

It was so cool to see you guys at Otakon! It was my first time at a Gaia panel and meetup where there were actual Gaia staff present. XD

You'll always be my #1 favorite Sailor Scout! heart

Aww, I wish I was there. I'm not able to go to any of the conventions! TwT

And I cannot wait for zOMG to come out. I'm looking forward to it, Lanzer! 3nodding

Awe, I guess that means I'll have to wait a lot longer for inventories to get fixed then. ):

Glad to hear that Otakon went well. I just hope you realize that slowing down some of the fixes are really frustrating to the users. Esp the inventories. One of the reasons I love Gaia is for the avatar system. But it is a pain to change my avatar now. It takes the fun out of it.

Oh I so want to go to a con but alas I doubt I ever will.
It would be awesome to meet you, some of the Gaia staff and other fellow Gaia members.

Keep up the good work! heart

I'm happy that it's going so well and we all love you guys and gaia so much that a few screw-ups and stuff won't change that.

But for the love of god get this gaming glitch and gifting fixed up! It's driving us nuts stressed

Hopefully that doesn't mean fixing the accounts of those affected by the game glitch will be delayed. : /

After all, the deadline to fix them has passed, and so many of us are still waiting to hear what will happen to our legitmately-bought items, and not to mention having our trading passes restored, which is a vital thing to have on this site.

You know there will be problems when zOMG goes public. xd But I think those are the funnest parts. ninja Working on a game that isn't perfect yet. You get to learn a lot about it in the process. =3

Can't wait! and glad you had fun! Too bad I wasn't able to see you at AX. emo I missed the panel.

Can't wait for zOMG! =) I'm patient as always, thanks for being patient with us! xD users can be so rude, but they're only grumpy because they love gaia! ("I've been waiting for the battle system for years! etc etc" wink
It's nice to hear that the admins will be keeping a watchfull eye on the forums for our feedback, I was worried about the gameplay too! But with many of us having played tons of online (or offline) games I'm sure we can work together and create something amazing =D
(like we already have =) gaia!)

You guys were great at panel however *sigh* I was the one who got cut off at the Q&A time. like it got to me in line and you said "sorry we have no more time!" I was so sad, so crushed.

No, I'm kidding. I was sad but it was great seeing you all there. You may have remembered my duct taped boot ... my boot zipper broke in line waiting to get into otakon!!

anyway, my question was answered anyway: I was wondering whether there would be any way to put cash items that benefited charities in the shop and now it's in the q&a forum or somewhere similar and there was an announcement about it. So THANK YOU. biggrin
