Music from Web Avatar/Gardenia Profile

[LilacOdango]

I love the music from Web Avatar/Gardenia Page, kinda makes me wish I was around when the real website was active (I wish I didn't miss a lot sometimes haha xD)

Curious to ask, was this music used back then on official website? It sounds so calming, I love it haha

Hello hello and since I didn't say this before (I think ) welcome!

I hope you enjoy your stay here!

I moved this topic to "WINX ADVENTURE" just because it's related to the games. But don't worry, it happens to everyone and forums take just a bit to get used to all its sections. You're doing great!

Curious to ask, was this music used back then on official website? It sounds so calming, I love it haha

Yes it was. It was used in a game called "Gardenia Park" which was around from 2009 to October 2010. It was a flash, 2D multiplayer game that you could meet and talk to your friends in. It even was featured in Season 4 Episode 16 "The Virtual World".
I think most of the music and sound effects from the game were lost, but a few of the songs survived. I only played the game once, so I don't remember much. But seeing how so many users liked it I decided to add its main song to the Web Avatar and one of the other songs that were saved on the "Gardenia Profile".

The Gardenia Profile was inspired by the Park. A lot of its assets like the heart, the envelope, the loading, the position of the buttons and much more are similar to Gardenia Park. The backgrounds are also from the park!

Here's a video of the game, if you're interested:

Thank you!

I wish I was around or more aware of it back then, but season 4 aired around 2011 here/early 2012 and right after fall of 2012 season 5 aired here.

Watched the video and honestly I was questioning why did they deleted it from the official website, it looked so nice. It really looked like a good place to get to know more people there. Though I can tell the more users were in one place the more it lagged it seems lol. Also Web Avatar seems so simplified on current official website than from before/here. Like there's less stuff and you can't change color of the clothes in current one. I guess a lot has changed since then.

[juleic1123]

Yeah. When the website changed to season 4 (the one you're currently in), they removed the park and opened instead a 3D game called Winx Adventure, which is the one I'm working now. It worked the same as Gardenia Park but more realistic, it was a Sims type of game where you'd be living in Gardenia and could meet all the Winx, talk to friends, decorate your room, etc etc...



And even though Gardenia Park closed, they'd bring instead the "Web Avatar" and open the forums (these), where you could customize with so many different colors, hairstyles and clothes from both the Winx and new, and it would have a lot of variety. Both the Web Avatar and Winx Adventure used to have weekly updates every two weeks, so the games were always being developed.

It's a shame what happened, really. Rainbow had a lovely website and had the potential to make the community grow even more if they kept doing activities that allowed the community to engage in their website. It would eventually become a really big hub for all Winx fans, old and new. Instead they closed all the games before season 5 arrived, closed the forums during season 5 and everything was lost...

I never played Sims, but I was aware of it's existence. Probably cuz I played other games back then lol.


Oh man I didn't realize this was actually big, wow. :0

Community would definetly grow bigger especially with newer seasons, that's for sure and especially if they were to advertise it back in the day during season 5 era. I do wonder why did they closed it. Guess there were a lot of changes. 🤔
But for real though dress up, game being online and meeting with more fans, that must have been good.

Yeah,I agree with you. It closed after the website changed and the forums got removed,nick just didn't get how fun it must have been

It's hard to predict what lead to them closing everything. On one hand, maintaining everything took a huge amount of space, I'd say the same as this website's remake is taking up right now. I pay about 110€ per year. So it is a bit expensive, but I also find it expensive because I'm not with a fixed job at all. I find the price quite "normal" if you want to do a website that has a special focus in creating a community and online services.
But we also have a lot of external factors, such as them heavily updating the games and luring more users in 3 months before they dramatically closed them, which leads me to believe they just wanted a bit more money and it probably didn't go well so they closed, which for me is pretty lame considering we had so many members registering before, during and even after the updates for a while.
Nickelodeon also opened its very own Winx section website and filled it with new games real quick, so maybe that contributed as well to the closure of everything.

Oh that explains a lot, that is tough. I do remember Nick's side of Winx on their website and then they also deleted that as well as if it never existed.
