Thanks for this lady0filia! Yeah, some of the news may be trivial, then some days they spam out news page so much you blink and miss a notice, so making sure the Forum is up to date as a back up is so helpful.


(And I vote the mods grant an exception on double posting for thing like this!)

Honestly the fact that they actually did, no matter how minimally, a Mean Girls quest will always make me laugh.
Thank you lady0filia for the updates!

I honestly think that double posting in this case is fine if it's not for spamming purposes but for double news, etc. Feel free to do so for this specific case.

Unfortunately we, as mods, don't always get the news till late so it's great that we can have them here too :)

Sarah posted this on the French forums 9/27/18

Hello all,
You've been waiting for it for some time, we've heard and read your opinions over the last few weeks so here's a little statement.
First of all, we are aware of having been little present lately. A reorganization and decisions had to be made regarding the future and the direction to take concerning this big family gathered around OhMyDollz, that's why we consulted behind the scenes. And we must pay attention to the way we express ourselves, everything we say can be held against us;)
As you may have noticed, the month of September was punctuated by quest replays, and we have not heard anything new. All of this is due to the difficulty the team has in using the quest creation tool, which is too old, impossible to maintain, and would require new resources that we do not have yet. Putting a quest in place is a nightmare. We prefer to play cards on the table so that you understand the current issue and especially the decisions to come.
We will resume the quests as soon as we can, and there will still be a contribution of different content that we will explain later, especially concerning this month of October to come which ends with a big party that we all love at home. OhMyDollz: we are talking about Halloween of course! We do not abandon you!
We will have the opportunity to detail what happens in a dedicated post, but know that we want to put the players in the heart of the OhMyDollz experience.
Regarding quest replays, we will maintain them because they provide an opportunity for many players to participate in quests sometimes missed or unfinished, which does not concern everyone, but we have the duty to satisfy .
News will arrive in the first week of October, we continue OhMyDollz without bending and see you debate on the forum reassures us, you are there and know that we are here for you.

See you soon!

Thank you for this information, please keep us posted.

Same here.  I had noticed a lot of quest replays and previous packs re-appearing, and was beginning to wonder what was going on at OMD.

Thank you for this, Darkgirrrl, I find the French forum a bit difficult to navigate with all its categories and subcategories...I probably would have missed Sarah's message.

I've been worrying for OhMyDollz's future; especially after my Chrome updated, making it a chore to use the game now that I have to constantly 'allow' Flash to play. Now it's come to the big question of: What will happen to all the Flash games that still exist, with more and more tech companies leaving Flash behind?

Does anyone with more tech-know-how than me know of any other kinds of software that can do the same kinds of things Flash does? What new programs are out there? Then maybe we can get a better idea of how the game will be changed - if at all - in the near(?) future. I definitely think the game tools need an upgrade when it comes to dressing my doll or working on my rooms.

Your welcome everyone, i have the same problem, i actually found the update/message by accident.

i thought the flash thing on chrome was a problem with my computer but now hearing about your problems with it too it looks like everyone chrome user will have this annoying problem with flash, if you get any info about a flash like program please let me know.

If people are having trouble with flash, might I recommend finding an app? I've used one for a couple of years now, for firefox called "Flash Block (Plus)". It allows sites like youtube to be whitelisted, but with sites like OMD, you can simply click the flash interface and poof! The flash is on. Refresh the page and it's back off again.

I don't know about chrome, but you could probably find one there, too.

Flash is not just a problem on the client side (the players' side). A lot of the games and sites using it need to rewrite their games to work with say HTML5, etc..

This is what I was trying to say. I figured if I was having trouble with Flash, then Feerik was also having problems, probably even more so. That's why I was wondering what other means they could use to upgrade the game that works like Flash but without the dangerous loopholes (I recently got my bank card information stolen, most likely because of some hacker using Flash to mirror a site's look.)

Am I to guess right that HTML5 is  similar to Flash? A game I play that also uses Flash (I'll just say it: Neopets) has been updating their maps from Flash to something else, but I don't know what it is. I learned a bit of coding from that game, so I kind of know how difficult it can be to change everything to Htmls, one wrong 'word' or 'letter' or 'number' can mess the whole thing up; then you need to comb over it all to see where you went wrong. I actually get pretty upset when players (all over the internet, mind you, not just OMD) complain about bugs and basic functions not working, since they have no idea how hard it can be to get the coding right on the first time. Or second time. Or third...

Pardon any layman's terms.

I know that feel about coding. I've spent hour starting at lines trying to figure out why it was doing a thing. In the end, it was like >/ instead of like />

Head, please meet my desk.

That being said, the entire radio silence about everything is insanely frustrating.

no no you were spot on. My understanding (I'm a PC/Console game dev, not a web dev, mind you) is HTML5 can be used to do what Flash does. People used Flash in the past because it had some of the functions baked in. Now, with flash dying because of all the security flaws, the developers of web games need to write their own engine in HTML5 to do what Flash did. Not impossible but sure is a lot of work.

I've seen a lot of people move to apps instead of dealing with HTML5, but I'm not sure what Feerik would end up doing.

That being said, I really feel for Feerik. They have a difficult task of fixing the infrastructure + producing new content + keeping the current content working ... super hard

I even opened a topic about it the other day.
They could also try webgl, but that would mean people using 32-bit systems would have a hard time using any features.
Not sure how java is doing safety-wise, but the memory leaks can get nasty (not to mention java can affect other things if letf outdated).
HTML5 requieres some skill to use. unskilled developers can make the game work erraticaly or not at all when using that format (looking at you, Monster Clearer! and you too, Rogue Fable 2! only working after i moved to a 64-bit system despide being a browser game!)

ANYWAY, I hope they learn to code well in HTML5 and improve the game after moving to that format *crosses fingers*

I saw this in the game news on my FB game but the buttons to purchase always cover up the cost and I'm never sure how much things are unless they post it in the news post. So obviously I hesitate to purchase something with no idea of the cost. At least with there being a "between this and this amount" posted here it gives me some idea. Thank you! :)
