Habbo Camera is back!

If they can bring out a camera again, why can't they make it so that you can view your old photo's again?

Too many people are sitting on hoards of scripted photos waiting for that to happen. I doubt that Habbo want the bad press associated with having pornographic images floating around on their social network for 12 year olds.

How long did that take? Jesus.

Like the new camera, however I think they should make it so when you re-load the client your saved photos are there to purchase later. :)

You guys wanted the camera back and when they bring it back you still moan!! 'Took them long enough' 'too expensive'. All they heard was 'bring the camera back' not anything about price etc. be grateful and enjoy the new/old feature!

It is a fair comment - hardly unreasonable to say 'finally' when someone takes so long to do something so obvious..

Most people crying about camera never used it. I have walls full of photos that were cute n stuff but honestly a screenshot is cheaper and if you're over 9 years old a caption shouldn't be needed. Nice to bring bk, good money sink for those that like to display their in game memories in game.

Glad you're enjoying it guys. A few responses to some of your questions/criticisms, answers are based on my own thoughts and not representative of Sulake!

Bringing back the camera is something that's been discussed for a long time, but when thinking about that you have to remember why it was removed. It was open to attack from bad guys, and we simply could not allow that sort of thing to exist in the hotel.

The reason it took so long was because we had to prototype various ideas and solutions to find one that not only fixed that last cameras problems, but also did it in a way that was resource friendly, and wouldn't crumble when many users attempted to render photos. Finding a solution scalable to thousands of users is not an easy task.

This xkcd comic nicely illustrated the problem we faced (identifying images that should not be in the image!)

So if anything, in my belief our developers have done a great job in bringin back the camera in a way that fixes the issues the previous iteration had.

Good answer. It's good to be back and purely the fact that people have dirty pics on the old photos meant it was not possible to bring those back to life, which makes sense!

has anyone got any pictures of the new camera?
