New HxHD layout

[FlyingJesus]

ngl it's pretty hideous. One day you lot will realise that grass patches and forest walls with random ditch pieces don't make rooms look good (this goes for events rooms as well...) and who knows if that ever happens maybe we'll get a help desk that doesn't look like a dingy furni shop or 2005 chillout room. Pretty sure I'm not the only one disappointed with the lack of decent aesthetics/furni ranges I mean 4real tiki bars in a forest what

i wish something more original could be done without grass and forest wall but oh well

[Absently]

it's an old design that we've reused. we actually did try to mix it all around, but it didn't look right.

[MKR&*42]

What the hell at the ditches, the rest of the room isn't terrible, but the ditches look so out of place.

And those forest walls released in summer 2011 would be better than the current ones.

[noddy]

It reminds me of this one time, at band camp, all the toilets were clogged up. Then there was a burst in one of the pipes in the bathroom and gallons of dirty brown gunk came rushing out. The whole room was just filled and the smell was unbearable.

Nice room though

[Yawn]

wish there was a bit more :Heart:me:Heart: in the screenshot tbh

[Martin]

I think its time we did a remake of Sammeth.'s eurovision (coloured plasto) room!!!! but obv a bit gayer!! Lots of bright colourful stuff yay


I guess its nice to bring old layouts back now and again but idk how long this one will be here until? Maybe we could get a special 10th birthday/anniversary themed room? ;)

[Samantha]

I think it looks a little similar to this one:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3865423/hxhdsummerlayout2.png

It looks ok, but I think it's a little crowded.

awww I looked so young back then!!


I think maybe something more of a feature coulda been done with the water etc but otherwise its niceee and cosy

[myles]

yes the design is very nice and sunny it makes me want to get my bikini out and go out in my garden now and get a tan. but it is half past midnight and there is no sun out so maybe tomorrow x well done but a little boring

[Kardan]

Why has a previous room design been used rather than a new one? I'm not a fan personally of a Hawaiian bar in the middle of an English forest, but I do prefer the smaller room to the larger ones.

[FlyingJesus]

Grass patches should be banned literally the ugliest furni ever I would even prefer an entire floor of blue bear rugs

Is that the one that was posted in design hxhd thread cause thats what I thouhht it was gonna be and if so no way that room is disgusting. I was pleasantly surprised when I seen this one! I think its cute :) and smaller rooms are nicer. Would of liked something like the world of zombies room mixing the new mystics furni but this is nice.

[Jurv]

would have been nice if you used a new design rly..

[God]

This room is just to simple, something that took what? 10 minutes to drop random stuff down?

[David]

i suggested to use an old one, that one specifically 2 weeks ago, why was it only done tonight?

[FlyingJesus]

Ok new rule if David suggests a layout it should be scrapped

[David]

Got a better rule, if FlyingJoseph doesn't like a change, keep it.

[FlyingJesus]

I don't like changes which make David banned

cause hxhd are lazy (this is truth lol)
i had to nag them to do it to get my furniz bk

[Red]

yea but hxhd is so much work and Rosy has no one as assistant atm
plus although having an old layout is not ideal, none of the recent ones that were posted were any good imo!

[Richie]

I can't stop staring at the bacon & the BBQ set

[xxMATTGxx]

Changing layout was always planned for June but hey ho. You don't have to like it.

[Daltron]

not a huge fan of the layout hmm

[Mark]

wish there was a bit more :Heart:me:Heart: in the screenshot tbh

You never come to HxHD :///
I think the layout looks good, yeah it's not a fresh, new layout however u guys were demanding one so we had to make do with what we had.

[Mr-Trainor]

It's ok, but nothing amazing imo. I'm not a fan of grass patches so that may be why :P. Why is there no sand in a summer layout :P?
oh wait there is some sand in the staff bit lol, didn't see it though.

[noddy]

One sand patch and a brown chair in an empty room would be more summery, I don't see many forests at the beach.

[Red]

If you wanted to make it more beachy I think sand patches and sunset walls would be nice

[Shar]

it's an old design that we've reused. we actually did try to mix it all around, but it didn't look right.
Ah I see. I thought I recognised it. It's the 2010/2011 layout I think..

[Tom]

You all will most likely grow to it, or never visit it again anyway; as always. People asked for this layout to be reused and, because it was the most doable at the time and everyone was moaning about it changing it happened - which is what it seems like to me. I don't mind it, it's a layout of which you sit in and talk/ask for help.

[Chris]

I like it, it's simple and colourful!

[Aaron]

It's a change from the Easter theme, maybe change the grass to sand and the walls to sunset walls (although sunset is pricey!). :P

There will be layouts some of you like some of the time, layouts all of you will like some of the time, some of you will like the layouts all the time, but not all of you will like the layouts all of the time.

Pretty much goes with this quote ~

You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time
(Abraham Lincoln)

A layout does not always have to be just big and amazing or small and amazing. It is alright to use an old layout (which we don't do too much). It's also perfectly fine to use a layout that is rather simple and small. Trying out a variety of layouts, whether old or new, is better than sticking to one style all the time.


cause hxhd are lazy (this is truth lol)
i had to nag them to do it to get my furniz bk

If we were lazy, we wouldn't have asked anyone to suggest or post a HxHD layout.
If we were lazy, me, Matt, Kelly, and Mark wouldn't have bothered to build this layout.
If we were lazy, we wouldn't have bothered looking for the furniture needed for this room.

The list goes on. Feel free to read my response to your thread in Question/Queries about Habbox, since you used "lazy" in there.

[Inseriousity.]

write it on your bucket list, you havent lived if you havent done that ;)

[Mr-Trainor]

I don't think it's even the forest walls that are the problem, but just that the fact that there's hardly any sand and the majority of it is just deck chairs on grass :P. Empired; designed this one which still looks more summery despite the forest walls:

[Mr-Trainor]

@Mr-Trainor (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=47332); I can't afford sunset walls :'(
Yours doesn't even need them really :P. I was just showing that you can still make a good summery layout using forest walls :). Although using a summer landscape with windows could be even better than sunset walls, just depends if they fit the room.

Yeah I got it from your post :P. Although rather than just remaking it, I think taking some inspiration from it could be a good idea.

Boo hoo, you don't like my attitude, not everyone is going to be nice and like you. You write reports monthly and add up peoples hours. it's hardly a time consuming job since your department hosts about two events a year lol. It's also quite obvious there are some lazy managers at Habbox an that's why it in the state its in. People making themselves believe they are doing work when they actually aren't.


I know that everyone doesn't like me and is not going to be nice, but that's perfectly fine. In life there is people who will like you and who won't - I know that. I was stating that I don't like how your attitude has been, it doesn't mean that I care what you and anyone else think of me it's just that kind of attitude isn't necessary. If you are really going to tell me that all I do in this department is write monthly reports and add up hours, you are very wrong. You have not been in this department Graham nor have you been in a management position to know what there is to do. Also, Habbox being in the state it's in, please do explain what your meaning of "the state it's in" is. I do agree though that there are things that could be improved on here, but an attitude like yours and some others on this site isn't going to help. We should all be helping each other out, be tolerant of one another, give suggestions, etc to help each part of Habbox get better.



First of all i don't ever remember saying you said i could have my furni back, i'm talking Matt & Kirst as they were actually online when the layout was being made for the most part. I was told it would only last to Easter, Easter doesn't extend into June, i dunno if you learned that in school

As for saying it in my last post? Where... i said "you have my furni way longer than was stated", i never said who stated this but i would have thought that since I've already told you this you would have remembered, but i guess people are just ditzy sometimes ! Now we have that lie out of the way...

Let's take a look at this post ~



hi @Ms.Aquamarine; could you please start on the new layout? i need the rest of my furni back now, i only received half of it and this is all your fault because you can't be bothered to do your job and make a layout!! thanks.... you have my furni way longer than was stated :) i did a favor for you lending it to your department for their room so it would be nice if you could keep to promises and stick to deadlines of when i get it back!

This post seemed pretty much directed towards me. Yes, you have said that your furniture was held longer, but what I was pointing out is that you said in this post which was pretty much directed to me once again,"if you could keep to promises and stick to deadlines of when i get it back!" as I said I did not do neither so I'm not sure how I am lying my way out and I would never do that because that's not the type of person I am.

Just looking at your 'If we were lazy...'

The first one, surely if you were lazy you would have asked and you did whereas if you weren't lazy you wouldn't have? Am I the only one confused by this or did you say it wrong?
The second one, you didn't build the layout you worked off an old one whereby you could see all the furni and the layout thus you only need to get the furni for it.

Admittedly you looked for the furni, but the first 2 you say don't make sense in my opinion, it's not anything against the department I just wondered what you meant by that.

I don't mind what layout you use, but you could have easily used a new one and still had the same furni what you're using in the current one and made it a little different. However, I've noticed people say how some weren't any good for the Help Desk, but who cares? It's not the most popular room on Habbo now, but all you need to do is make a desk, make it look somewhat a sociable place to be and job done.

They could have easily have used a new one if there were decent threads posted from them to work off. There hasn't been any for the last 2 layout changes. I had to adapt a very old one posted for valentines and thankfully kyle and graham stepped in for the spring layout. Clearly people care if there is a feedback thread moaning about it, and isn't that exactly what they have done anyway with this layout.

[Jurv]

is that not an excuse for a lazy choice in layout instead of using ideas from the community & adapting them

[Red]

No it is not an excuse :S They are there to choose what the feel is the best layout and that is what they have done. The old one looks better than the others in the thread, so I don't see why they shouldn't use it. But yes, it could have been adapted slightly I think sand patches, sunset walls and some lanterns would have worked well.

[Catchy]

@cameron (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=64841); stop moaning and get over it, there's more important things in life than a silly layout on a virtual game or w/e u want to call it :S like it or lump it that is the layout and ur annoying whining and complaining aint gna change anything sorry 2 say.

why should they choose an uglier layout like ur hideous christmas contraption just to appease ur needs to get a badge and some vip lol! jus saying

[Jurv]

i was wondering when you were gonna come along Catchy; lol and i'm not all that bothered if the layout changes or not because it would be pointless to close it for hours again. i was just proving a point in saying that there's no reason to have a thread if you don't use the ideas people are giving. the least you could do is take their ideas into consideration and come up with an entirely different layout instead of using one that was used years ago.. just shows laziness imo. and vip & badges don't bother me, neither do your comments about a room made on a virtual game as u like to put it

OH AND CAN I JUST ADD shows laziness, what how? if you havent noticed xxMATTGxx; is usually always busy at the moment so the last thing he'd of needed is to design a whole new completely diff layout, its usually v frustrating and takes a long time when me Red; sex; and Kyle; are making them with him and it annoys him so i can understand why they have just reused an old one

If you actually believe this then you have absolutely no right calling yourself a room designer.

A few ICMs don't make the whole room colourful :P. It's the gras patches, ditches and forest walls combination that just make it ultimately look a little dull :(.

Last spring/summer layouts of last few years have all had grass patches and forest walls (As did most of the other designs people posted for this years) and there were no big complaints. Even when diff walls are used people moan. eg. jungle walls for last years summer one cameron complained they looked like they should be in a halloween layout. 8-)

Then how about changing things around a little? Yes it's certainly the case that I don't (even) like grass patches (!!) but the reason for that is that they make every Habbox room look samey and boring - and yes, dark and boring. Whether you like them or not they are a dark floor fill, and forest walls only add to that to make the whole place look a low-budget event room rather than an inviting space with (heaven forbid) a bit of character

Is there anywhere where I can see all past HxHD layouts. Just had a look on the Wiki but didn't find anything.
Maybe it's because the previous ones didn't have almost the whole room covered in them.

[Empired]

Red; look. I think part of the problem is that Habbox is actually a community and the HxHD layout isn't only about designing nice-looking rooms, but getting the whole community involved. Basically what's happened this time is the community has been told that their ideas weren't good enough (some would even go as far to say "vile") and are, therefore, going to be ignored.

This would have been ok if they came up with a super fabulous summery layout with cherries on top and free gifts for everyone who entered, but they've just given us a mediocre design with a couple of deck chair dotted round on bits of grass.

And then they wonder why everyone rages :S

Thanks cameron; @orientalframe?

Last spring/summer layouts of last few years have all had grass patches and forest walls (As did most of the other designs people posted for this years) and there were no big complaints. Even when diff walls are used people moan. eg. jungle walls for last years summer one cameron complained they looked like they should be in a halloween layout. 8-)
As I suspected, the reason for 'no big complaints' is clearly the fact that there's more emphasis on the summery aspects, i.e. the sand and water and then only one section with grass patches. Now imagine if all that sand and some of the water was replaced with grass patches.. it'd look horrible.

I will say that this layout is still not amazing, but I do like it and its much more summery than the one we have at the moment.

[MKR&*42]

@ few posts up^^ I did have some more old layouts on a certain site (before it was cleared :rolleyes:) and on my laptop, but I deleted the folder a long time ago. But yeah, some of the older ones would definitely look nicer (if slightly adjusted) than the one we have currently.

I don't get it. I swear there was a thread of people saying that they like this old layout and to use it, just two weeks ago. Now loads of people join the 'it sucks' bandwagon and demand something else.

Sometimes I feel that Habbox is full of divas that demand 8 figure paychecks :P.

Personally, I would go to DJ-3000's old layout, but I don't see that happening!

It's alright, after all, it's just a room on Habbo where people chat and not a work of Modernist art.

I actually believe you saying they're mediocre is better than someone saying that they're just vile with no CC. The layouts submitted this time aren't vile they just needed work.

Also those going on about
cameron;'s design, you couldn't make it less subtle if you tried, but remember his design was a Christmas one and it would suit the theme.

I doubt if people didn't like Kirst, Kyle, Jake or Graham's design and just said it was rubbish you'd want to know why and you wouldn't like the comments either surely?

So what happens when the management team start adopting this attitude to everything else? "Oh we don't need V7, V6 isn't the worst we've ever had."

Surely if we're all constantly complaining about how much Habbox is going downhill, we shouldn't be settling for something mediocre?

And going from no change to a bad change does not make this a good thing.

To be honest, I think people get a bit OTT over HxHD layouts. The layout is acceptable and suits the purpose. Yes people want this changed, that changed and anything else changed. Happens to all layouts and sometimes you just have to get by and live what you have. No one forces you to like it. Hell, we could go back to when we only change the layout once/twice a year!

Yeah, I understand the whole attitude some people have towards this but you've got to think about where a layout is going to come from, not even thinking about the funds for it either. We can't just pull layouts from our bums. Are you saying you would prefer for us to go back to the old layout then? Seeming this was a 'bad change'. Looking through all the old layouts, the one we have now is better than the majority of them in my own opinion.

As a side note, V6 probably is the worst we've had in terms of how 'heavy' it is ;)

Is Habbox really in a position where we can no longer fund the furniture for our own helpdesk? This whole borrowing thing does worry me in terms of people wanting stuff back, just sends out a bad message kinda I guess, whereas if everything in the room is owned by general management at the very least, at least there isnt that pressure and people making threads asking Habbox for their furniture back etc.

The amount of changes to the HxHD layout that happens during the year would cost a lot of money credit wise if we did not at least borrow some furni that the layout uses. Especially if the layout that's going to be used has furni that costs a lot or is hard to get from the shop/marketplace during that time. To solve that - Would to be use one standard layout throughout the year and only changing it at like Christmas at the very least.

People don't normally ask for their furni back by creating threads. It's only occurred this once from what I remember? Because of the extra long period of the last layout being used. Bad timing for sure.

(Assuming the first bit was a quote from me) the management team do accept that and they try to get all the community opinions in. Their opinions were to bring in an 'older layout'. They bring one in, they get it wrong. Like Matt said, you can't obtain furniture all the time at the click of your fingers, some may be very hard to find at that moment in time and with everybody saying it needs to be changed pretty much now it's whatever was available I guess (this is just what I've picked up).

To the V7 thing - it's coming, just like it was last year. ;)

In fairness, doubt you'll get anyone else lending furniture when the site fails to give back what people have lent in the past lol I've said in the past I'll happily put furniture down, but I have no intention of loaning to people (mainly because of previous complaints!)

Surely Habbox management has enough "furni" to create a half decent room? :L

Half-Decent in personal opinion though. So we could create a fantastic room to managements view but than you could think it's terrible. You can't expect every layout to be accepted by everyone.

Perhaps if they had started preparing for the summer layout in the middle of May they would not need to rush so much? I know everyone (MattG in particular) is very busy but if they'd started preparing three weeks ago then they could have taken all the time in the world.

On the subject of preparing for HxHD layouts Ms.Aquamarine; can I have my sand patches please. I assume you're not using all of them as there's only like 6 in the room xo.

The Design HxHD thread is about allowing the community to offer their expertise and show what they can do but it states very plainly on the first post of that thread that it is not compulsory for management to choose a design from that thread. It also doesn't necessarily mean that the layouts on that thread won't get chosen by another management team as it is not a competition so not fixed between a particular set of dates. One time the layout might be chosen from page 4, the next from page 14. It is too simplistic to suggest that the designs in the thread are mediocre simply because they weren't chosen, there are a range of factors that are taken into consideration. For example, this layout was likely rushed because of community pressure to change it whereas it'd have most likely been changed mid-June/end of June. Another factor taken into consideration is amount of furni needed for the layout. Another factor might be the small room vs big room debate and whether management fancies a change.

I will also say that I have received feedback from people who ask whether they're the only one who like the new layout (in response to this thread) and it turns out that they are not the only one but they seem to be too intimidated to say it. I will use the help desk regardless of what it looks like because of the people in it not how many sand patches it has. There is a community in that room, show kindness and younger, newer users will respond.

sex;




I know that everyone doesn't like me and is not going to be nice, but that's perfectly fine. In life there is people who will like you and who won't - I know that. I was stating that I don't like how your attitude has been, it doesn't mean that I care what you and anyone else think of me it's just that kind of attitude isn't necessary. If you are really going to tell me that all I do in this department is write monthly reports and add up hours, you are very wrong. You have not been in this department Graham nor have you been in a management position to know what there is to do. Also, Habbox being in the state it's in, please do explain what your meaning of "the state it's in" is. I do agree though that there are things that could be improved on here, but an attitude like yours and some others on this site isn't going to help. We should all be helping each other out, be tolerant of one another, give suggestions, etc to help each part of Habbox get better.




Let's take a look at this post ~



This post seemed pretty much directed towards me. Yes, you have said that your furniture was held longer, but what I was pointing out is that you said in this post which was pretty much directed to me once again,"if you could keep to promises and stick to deadlines of when i get it back!" as I said I did not do neither so I'm not sure how I am lying my way out and I would never do that because that's not the type of person I am.

Why should my attitude matter? Suggesting anything to Habbox never really works unless its forum related lol. You're a manager you should be more competent rather than stretching things out as long as possible. God knows knows how you take so long to do things when you're department has the most seniors of all departments (that i know off) yet contributes the least, as you help users who probably out of every 1 in 100 sign up, and the majority of people that are in the room are already on the forum or know about Habbo so its hardly advertising it lol..

It was directed at you because you where the only one capable of changing the layout (since matt was waiting for you to submit one) Not because you stated i would get my furni back! You obviously did lie since i never stated you said said i would get my furni back by the end of may, i said other people stated it.

Anyways, i don't care now. We have a new layout... I don't see why you dragged this post from the other thread? Are you trying to cause argument?

Lol if that was the main purpose, there would be a poll to vote or something. The thread is there to help management out with getting a design sorted.

That was pretty cramped but far better and certainly more summery simply by not having the entire place filled with forest walls. It's still not the background I'd have used but far better for an open look and 4real a couple of ICMs doesn't brighten up an entire room if it's dingy all around the floor and sides
