Status on Winx Adventure

[juleic1123]

Thank you for everything you have done so far! And what about the gardenia park game? Will you release it?

Hello and welcome! I only played it twice and never got my hands on the assets for that game, so unfortunately my initial answer is no. I could try to recreate it one day, but I'd need to pay close attention to all the things available from that game, but saying now it's def. something that would come after everything else is released...

Is there any way to help you out with it? I´d also love a revival of the Gardenia Park
But no pressure! I´m sure it´s way harder than working on Winx Adventure which was longer available than Gardenia Park as far as I remember.

I spend a lot of time on the Gardenia Park back then.

Even if you could in theory help, which we would need the help of users who did remember the game and could help me out with the details, recreating the game would take more than 3 years minimum.

The reason for it?
The game was entirely in flash - it needs to be recreated to html5 or webGL and done in unity
The assets for the characters and all their clothes had 6 different sides, so every single hairstyle, body and item would need to be drawn into those 6 sides
ALL the assets are gone - there isn't a single sprite (image) of anything from the game, not a button, a phone, an icon, anything. Every single image from the menu, to the bedroom, to the phone... all of it would have to be recreated and readjusted time after time after things are "put" together.

In theory it sounds easy, but the web avatar was already really complicated to make for similar reasons. You're grabbing a flash game and making it html5 and with every asset recreated, the amount of bugs and possible glitches it creates and needs to be perfected is giant.

I won't say "no" to a remake, I might want to risk it and try it, but realistically I don't see it coming any time soon at all. Winx Adventure is already quite challenging and the game is sort of working already.

Maybe that is gonna be not recreating but making something different in this case
Cause if you don't enough information, you have to come up with something to fill in there...

The work would be the same sort of, adding something new or trying to keep it the same, programming would end up being similar. But it would remove the effort of digging around to find about that specific thing.

Thanks for the explanation! Really interesting how much it takes to make it work
I´m happy for Winx Adventure anyway. I never fully played it because back then I had Windows XP and very bad internet. It was horrible. Most of times I spend staring at the loading screen

But maybe with the help and skills of all users we could create something new but much simpler
I remember about an Anime Chat I visited back then. It had different live chatrooms with backrounds
and you could buy pre downloaded character icons and move from one corner to another. Was quite fun

Oh wow that's sounds complicated😲 I never knew all of that

Is your goal still to finish and release it? Or is it going to be to difficult?

For winx adventure? Absolutely. I want this website to have ALL the features the very early 2012 one had. Right now it's essentially only missing Winx Adventure and the make up section on Web Avatar

For Gardenia Park? It's never a yes or a no from me, it really depends on the future. I can see the work and I'm scared just thinking about it, but on another hand, it's something I could see myself doing one day. So I can't really ever give you an answer until everything is done.

Ohh I am so glad to hear that. It would be a dream to play Winx Adventure again

Gardenia Park would be cool too but I can't remember if you ever played it? Is that one harder to recreate?

[juleic1123]

Recreating the assets alone is already way more work than Winx Adventure where we got the majority of them back then.
