Habbo Camera is back!

[DJ_Shadow]

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?

In my opinion the interface looks very nice and sharp. It's free to use, however the 'film' is a little bit more expensive than the original camera. Below I've put both versions of the camera interface together for comparison. The newer camera is good because it has a much larger frame, however the one feature it is lacking is the ability to write a small caption underneath. I would have liked to see a return of that feature, as well as the possibility to apply polaroid-like filters. All in all I think it's great they have released this old feature again, but I also hope that future development on it won't stop here!

I don't know how the new camera was developed but I'm sure the developers would use the old camera as a basis (judging by those screenshots). For a company that turns over millions of dollars this should have been an relatively easy implementation for your team. The true lack of progress shown over the years is testament to how bad the development team are.

Edit: For the record I never wanted the camera back

Using the old camera as a base would not only defeat the purpose of the new camera (the old one was riddled with bugs and problems), but was also impossible. Not only was the client portion of the original camera in a completely different programming language, but the server side used a now defunct (and also broken) media format from the client - which we now know was in a completely different language to the current one, to render and save the image. This approach could not be reused.

Habbo has moved leaps and bounds over the years, and an implementation of a feature this complex does not happen over night. The fact the team has been able to implement the camera safely is a huge thing.

Believe me when I say, that if this was as easy as your post makes out you think it should be, it would have been done long ago.

I kinda agree with you.

I miss the old camera, no sweat. It looked cool, nostalgic, had a lovely effect (polaroid) and, I personally think, added to the user experience on Habbo. Of course a lot of people say screenshots are free, but it's not the same having a photo on your room's wall for everyone to see. That's my only problem with it - I guess I just don't want to let go of the past, but I'm still mardy about the merge so I think that's a personal trait.

On the other hand, yeah, development has been shown and I don't even want to try and comprehend the safeguarding issues you must come up against when implementing back in one of the things that kicked off all the problems and scandals (and then the development after).

I get the move forward. I'm cynical about Habbo nowadays but perhaps I've grown up - that doesn't stop me appreciating the fact that, despite Habbo isn't going back to it's roots, it still remembers them.

Can you preview when the full tool (flters, zooms) will be out? please.

Nice to see this feature return although I have to agree, the price per photo is a bit expensive, hopefully it changes.

The biggest issue most people are having with it is the price. Old habbo film was already pretty costly (5c for 6 photos) so now more than doubling that (2c/photo) seems absolutely ludicrous. Seeing as we can really do the same thing by taking a screenshot we should be able to use this feature for free with Duckets (which are basically useless).

6 Creds for 5 Pics = 1.2c per pic.
It hasn't doubled.

Sorry that I got the price wrong. Aside from the .2 of a coin it has doubled.
