Next-Gen Habbo

Me and Otus were castually asking about citizenships and then a weird reply was made when asking if forums will be coming back, the reply was that they needed too much moderation..

-

Not thinking anything of it, I commented about in-game forums and the reply was..

then I went on to ask about a recently leaked screenshot which contained new furniture days before it was uploaded to official public Habbo services, but he claimed nobody has screenshots.



So what do you think the next-gen of Habbo will include?

So what do you think the next-gen of Habbo will include?

Pet Lemurs.

But in all seriousness, I do wonder what they will actually include for the next generation of Habbo.

LOL thanks for pointing that out :P

Seems much cleaner and a lot more space.

'Next generation Habbo' - probably means full Illumina all over obviously. It also probably means that everything is all futuristic (maybe two floors in rooms or you can do crazy things to your rooms)

Illumina is not on the concept design stage. It is being implemented, constantly. It's probably something to allow for mobile growth.

I dont like that screenshot. I prefer where the menu bar in now. That looks tidy. New room designs would be a start for them. Like someone said, floors/levels and more interaction hopefully like being able to use stuff more, i.e. slides and jumping on things. That would be futuristic in terms of habbo for me. But they don't want to turn their heads away from the basic habbo-ness as too much from that will make it look like something completely different to what Habbo is, visually.

With the title I thought you meant NextGenHabbo the retro so I got confused xD.

But ya from the screenshot it looks a lot cleaner with more space and seems that now they might have it figured out.

It better not turn into some vague social network thing.

Not sure why you're all commenting on the screenshot, it's just a random image from the internet. Next-gen Habbo is far greater than a few image changes by the sounds of it, the last time Habbo moved to a new 'generation' it changed from shockwave to flash.

Yeah good, I hope nobody has screenshots because that menu bar is placed horridly.

K,

1) Annoyed that forums probably won't come back due to too much moderation being required (wonder whose fault that is Sulake), seriously cannot believe how much stuff they are willing to refrain us from using purely because they don't care about improving moderation.
2) I don't think anything massive stuff behind-the-scenes will change. We've all seen the screenies of updated profiles/forgets what else, but yeah UI screenshots and they're definitely more visibly appealing - but I just don't see anything massively interesting coming along in the "Next Generation" of Habbo. I'd love for a return of Lido Diving (CONSIDERING I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO DO IT :'() and Wobble Squabble (looked so interesting), but then that would be a step back into the past so I don't know haha.

Hope they find a way for us to shape stairs into rooms though ;) that would seem pretty cool (VIP only probably lol).

Oh, I just mainly think they're gonna make everything client-based (like it used to be), so that we effectively became a giant Social Networking site tbh (as said earlier). Staff don't bother coming on (except a handful of technicians and whatnot) so I reckon they'll try and focus the attention on furniture/badge releases as opposed to competitions and users communicating with staff more (as done in the past). If the "Citizenship" track is to do with popularity (although I have slight doubts it is), then that's another big example of Social Networking over gaming haha.

tl;dr - Not much ? ;)

So here's what the people around me think... HTML5.

My Notes;
Last Gen: Shockwave
Current Gen: Flash
Next Gen: Something which will support multiple devices.. most likely HTML5? Mobile & Desktop

I still can't grasp why they want Habbo on mobile. The IM on mobile, fine. But if they ever announced full-on Habbo for mobile, I'd just find it pointless. The screen would be too small, typing would be a pain etc.

lmao at Pauls comment; If they hate users finding out new things, then why do they always upload stuff to the public eye xD

In terms of HTML5 I'm not an expert but that has developed to be able to like do what Habbo is currently doing now sort of speak?
