First of all, thank you for the wonderful Spring Festival. The festival flow, the contests and the prizes were flawless. Now that Spring is over, we have 3 months more before the end of Summer where you usually begin the Summer Festival. Thus, we have 3 months more to prepare before Summer Festival begins so I hope I'm not late for suggestions.

Are we going to fish again for Spring Festival sylesties? Just my personal opinion, or maybe others aren't voicing this out but if we expect just the same prizes every year, it's kind of less exciting than it was in the first year we had those prizes. I know, you're going to switch the species though. But those are still the same designs we had last year. It's like same old, same old.

So I came up with an idea. There are too many Summer stuffs. We don't have to get stuck with fishes or sea creatures. I thought of variety of Summer stuffs but I bet you're going to require that as Summer theme in the festival field theme contest design. So how about different kinds of ice creams? It's cool and colorful! It's SO Summer!

By the way, this is supposed to be "Summer Festival Ice Cream (Festival Theme) 2 of 2" but I've deleted my first suggestion and replaced it with this one coz it's just random ice cream ideas. This one is the more detailed version. So there is no "Summer Festival Ice Cream (Festival Theme) 2 of 2" This is it.

It's like we need to find a certain flavor and certain ingredients and toppings to complete a certain recipe.

I do like the idea of changing things up a bit, however I don't think this year would be the best time for it. Both the artists and Krin/ Fai are busy with revamps and the megazone. A new feature like this would require a lot of art and a lot of coding.

Basically exactly what Imp said. I certainly would enjoy a new feature, but right now I feel like it would just be too much work for the admins.

I would give this idea tentative support for the summer festival after this one, perhaps. But not the one coming up in a few months.

I agree, thought I think it would be better next summer when the admins aren't busy with the Megazone.

They said the Mega Zone will be launched after the Spring Festival which means either they're done with it or just finishing the final touch. They might launch it anytime soon or maybe on July which leaves 2 months allowance before the Summer Festival. If they said we should post our suggestions 2 months before the festivals then they have just enough time to improvise this year's Summer Festival. If not then maybe they can use these ideas for something else this year's Summer Festival.

Sorry I forgot to ping you when I posted this thread. You said you will release the Mega Zone after the Spring Festival. Maybe this July? If so, that leaves about 2 months allowance before the next festival. If I'm in the admin and I have just enough time to program this, I will bring something more fun, something fresh, something new, something like Summer to Sylestia, rather than giving the same old, same old that the players might get tired of collecting. This might make the festival more exciting and less boring. I hope you'll think about it and I hope you like this idea! ^_^

If so happen that you'll be busy to program this, maybe you can use it for something else this Summer Festival?

Link: https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=35960&page=22#218 Author: Krinadon Time Posted: 6/22/2016 at 2:15 AM This year's Spring Festival is officially finished and pretty much entirely wrapped up. We have, I think, prizes to award for two more Forum Games and that should just about be everything. I just wanted to take a moment to say a few things regarding the Festival and the next few months. Firstly, Faiona and I were completely blown away by both the participation and support everyone gave throughout the month-long Spring Festival. It greatly surpassed even our greatest expectations. So to everyone who participated during this event, thank you for keeping Sylestia an awesome, growing, and active community even as we take an extended amount of time getting the Beta squared away and begin work on our Release version. And to everyone who purchased Diamonds during this event, thank you so much for helping to keep Sylestia running; it was a very humbling blessing that helped us recoup the costs of the recent revamps and the upcoming MegaZone. Secondly, we are continuing our work on the MegaZone. At this time, we are getting a large batch of artwork finished up for the second section of the MegaZone. I am also putting in the new species into the Site. We hope that in 2-3 weeks, the second section will be finalized and we will have begun work on the last section. Once that stage is reached, we will probably be able to post a relatively specific release date for the MegaZone as we will pretty much be on the last leg. In the meantime, here is a screenshot that I'm sure will tease most, if not all, of you. =P http://puu.sh/pzxAW/b7ca5f5599.jpg Thirdly, we will be having a very small 4th of July celebration. At this point, it will most likely just be some cosmetic / Diamond Shop stuff as we do not have the available time to create any type of actual feature. We probably will also run some Forum Games on/before/after the 4th as well with some fun prizes. The Patriotic Themed Pets may also be a part of this in some fashion as well, which we know has been heavily requested over the past few years. Lastly, we are still working on the Ny'vene revamp. It has been delayed due to the high amount of demand for other artwork at this time. We do hope that we can get it finished up maybe by the end of July, but we cannot promise it at this point in time. Thank you again to everyone. Please post any comments/feedback below. =)

Post made by Krinadon on 6/22~ It'll probably be a month to a month and a half at least before the megazone is released.


Allow me to be a little more thorough to help you understand how much work this will probably be.

Coding:
Megazone - This has been in the works for more then a year. The megazone was first announced back in March of LAST year. It's been nearly a year and four months since then and they're only just wrapping up the second leg, which according to the above quote should be another two weeks. Krin mentioned the third leg wouldn't be as bad, but it can still be assumed that it will take a few weeks minimum.

AFTER the MegaZone is released, there are certain to be bugs. There are always bugs. (No offense Krinadon.) These will also take time to fix.

Pet Revamps:
The Ny'vene is still in the works and will be in the works for a while. Before Krin can do the coding, the art needs to be complete. From the past pets that were revamped, guesstimate a minimum 1-2 weeks to code in the Ny'vene.

Summer Fest:
The new avatar items, minimum three new sets with minimum three set colors. (Once again, unable to complete until the artist's do their magic. )
The bosses for the new summer fest exploration.
The new themed pets for the festival zone.
The new genes/mutations for pets for the summer festival.

After looking at all of that, you then have to think of what the artists are doing, minimum.

Ny'vene Revamp Art, Gene's and mutations.
New Species Genes and mutations
New genes and mutation for the summer festival.
New avatar items for the summer festival.
New level 65-75 pet equipment items for the MegaZone.
New crafting items for the MegaZone.
Followed by whatever species is next on the revamp list.


What you are suggesting should be added:

Coding in every single new item, imagine like the winter fest, I have a tab and a half of items from baking, over 75 items every single one of those would need to be drawn first and then coded in.
The new system for this ice cream thing would need to be coded in.
Fai and Krin would have to have another brand new thread for new species along with new flavors and then they'd have to scroll through all of them and choose what would work best.

The coders and artists are not robots that can work endlessly. They also need breaks.
I'm not saying that you idea is bad, it's just an unnecessary and stressful workload to add on the everything else that's currently in the works at the moment. Please think of the admins and artists who are already working hard to bring new content.

I know it's been more than a year but the issue is when will they be done with it. They released a statement before that it will be after the festival. If we go on with this topic people's attention will be drawn to this topic and not to my Summer Festival idea. So I suggest we cut this here as this doesn't have to go on. I just posted this suggestion for the admin to see and to think for. You don't speak for the admin because you're not one.

If people can't come up with fresh new ideas that can help improvise this site that I love to play, I suggest they focus on improvising themselves so they can be more creative and contribute something too, rather than discouraging the admin to improvise the site and discouraging them to take creative people's suggestions that could bring more fun and excitement to the site just because they weren't able to come up with a better one. It's healthier that way. This suggestion is for everyone not for any specific people.

So enough said. There's nothing more to discuss about this matter. I created this thread to encourage the admin to take my suggestions and not to discourage them to take good suggestions. There's a reason why they put a Suggestion Box in the forum. So they can adopt new ideas and not for players to discourage them to take new ideas. You can add your creative ideas here in this thread instead. Let's all gather our ideas to help Sylestia's festivals be more fun, exciting and lively! ^_^

its a cute idea, i love the nephini :3

Thanks sissy! ^_^
