hi

you get the concept

this is what one town (slums) could look like, there may be higher stages

(gmaps ontop of each other)


that may be higher in technology and brighter and more eco friendly

Reminds me of A.I. Artificial intelligence

Really love the idea and art, really really good.

Yes in my opinion I liked the sprites that Zone PC used. I do remember talking to Tashkin about the idea of bringing back the old body/head sprites from Zone PC when he still managed as we had many ideas that involved making iZone different from the other servers. It's just since we already used the current head/body sprites it would be tough switching and I know a lot of players wont like these kind of sprites.

I did think of using the sprites on a DIFFERENT planet, I would have to come up with a backstory as to why the players would change their features, but I would be willing to try it out if players would like the change.

Question:
Do you guys like these kind of sprites on characters or would you rather keep the current ones? (Yes there would still be able to be customizable head/bodies

Spoiler

Ah, I just remembered if we did switch to these sprites we would have to restart all of our ganis since they are in a different template.



I also thought of ideas such as Skyworld had a radiation leak which caused all Zonians to move to a space craft in space where we'd live in a space craft but we were still able to travel to other planets in the solar system except for Skyworld. I want to create a storyline for the game because as of right now its just a game with no story line or purpose lol. Would be cool to have graalians living in space for now then over time our 'Search Team' is searching for planets that is survivable/habitable and come with updates on new planets that are habitable, then find some that are owned by aliens and send missions to kill them, just stuff like that - that's just be writing a quick few little sentences that came to my mind.

Maybe involve some sort of 'Utopia' or something lol i dont know. But we do have some amazing projects in works right now Can't wait for those to get finished.

Pictures aren't showing, but I love the idea!  

the sprites from PC zone are very gani-friendly since it would allow more possibilities, could also use different bases for hair or head, and giving the players the options to change both with uploads, head, hair...

even arms, thorso and legs

you could split the current ratio of costs from 50/50 to 30/20/10/10/10

and players wouldnt have to upload complete new heads just for hair tweaks

ontop, youd have visible armors and other stuffs you can then make, which is currently not really that easy with the graal defaults

Ah yeah thats right! This offers a LOT more flexibility with the uploads!! This would be a great update to iZone in my opinion, i just hope the other players would think the same.

UPDATE: Just remembered that all the hats and everything we have already released wouldn't really go good with the new sprites..  

I don't think players would be too excited about losing their heads, bodies, and hats lol

Unless there was a countdown for the new sprite release that required the players to 1. Make hat claims, 2. Make item claims (unless ganis were adjusted) and 3. Fully refund any custom heads and bodies

The hat claims would be the hardest, since hats are worth a lot of money in many cases, but I guess someone could spend their precious time scrolling through all the files figuring out the values of each hat based on rarity.

I personally think it would be awesome to have the OG sprites. I think it would be good for zone, a way to start fresh. But holy **** would that be one massive project.  

Full refunds to everyone. Problem solved.

You wanna go through all the hats and edit them to fit the old Zone heads?
Or do you wanna go through the ones everyone owns and find the original price to refund them with? Up to you.

I believe he just means custom-wise

^^ lmao  

Just a question, are there any plans for a basic storyline and/or backstory?  

hats/heads/body is easy, no need to refund lol

save the total amount of custom heads/bodies/hats as r string within attributes, half it, and those variable would then be free uploads left :p new players wouldnt have it, or it can even be used as a reward for whatever

or:

simply make a new zone server and keep the old XD

Mira, mimeosomes and Ganglion... Man, I'm gettting some Xenoblade Chronicles X vibe over here.
Seeing some great ideas being posted here, especially the Gmap on top of each other posted by Elk  

We need to call extreme home makeover.
