Psychatica Development-Tumblr

We are designing and coding a completely community-driven virtual world, using open technologies such as HTML/CSS/JavaScript instead of proprietary technologies like Flash. Items in the world will be developed solely by community members and not owned by a specific organization, so the creators will always own the content they create. We are always welcoming new users, so please feel free to join! http://www.psychatica.com, I'm just a fan who want's to see "Psychatica" Succeed.

keep an open mind here. but i was thinking to add this idea. you know how face-book has an activity log that keeps track of every single thing you did on your session for that day/ days. only YOU the user has access to it. well how bout you add a system like that. if it isn' already in there yet. or is but in some other form.

there would have to be something like that, at least privately, to support campaigns and other events that require you to do a certain set of activities in order to win prizes (like post 5 journals in one day or something like that).It’s not implemented yet, but it’s a good idea for the future because campaigns are funnn~

So my friend has an interesting idea,

He wants to see Psychatica become a game instead of simply a virtual world social network.

"I was thinking of farming, crafting, gathering, mining, smithing, combat of different kinds. Users can develop items using a development kit and then introduce it into the game. They can designate a crafting recipe for that item and make it themselves to sell or us. It'll be a bit technical for some but that can serve as a quality controller."

Now I must say when I started this project a few months before TinierMe's demise I had totally intended it as a replacement for TM — not really any set theme, or "game" aspect... just a place where people could build, explore, and communicate.

However after we got some NPC ideas going the site started to become more themed-like and less generic. Which is TOTALLY awesome!

[psychatica]

So I've been thinking of adding new resource types (or statistic types, not sure what the difference is/if there will be a difference yet) to Psychatica (in addition to the default Silver (PsychatiSilver) and Gold (PsychatiGold) that will be pre-installed with PhoenixSNS).

Unique to Psychatica, as it is going to be more of a game than the more generic TinierWorld counterpart, we will have the following resource types/statistic types (and perhaps additional game-specific resources for minigames)

hey just a tip but like. i was gonna join this but theres????? no screenshots. anywhere. what-so-ever. so i don't know what it looks like. is it pretty? is it cute? is it scary? is it ugly? well i won't find out till i make an account, will i?! but that's just it, i dont wanna make an account and find out i don't like the graphics. it'd probably be a good idea to, like, maybe post pictures of your avatars, or sneak peeks of areas you're working on. otherwise y'all just seem kinda shady.

well currently the website is in development. If you'd like you can join our Facebook group to help create! :) the world & items will be developed solely by the community members and not owned by a specific organization, so the creators will always own the content they create! we are currently working on updates.

Hello everyone,

You may or may not know that I and fellow former TinierMe members have started our own virtual world social network.

It is called Psychatica, and it is growing fast. It is built on the PhoenixSNS framework that I wrote as the sole developer, with artistic content and innovative ideas contributed by a team of former TinierMe users.

One of the most notable features, the framework for avatar designs, has recently been implemented. This supports equipping Items to a particular section of the avatar (known as a Category).

In addition to that, it currently supports Groups, Topics, and Comments on those topics. It supports a framework for playing games (known as the Arcade) and exchanging Arcade Tickets for exclusive Items.

Chat in the World used to work but for some reason is now broken, we're fixing that though.

But most important of all, user registration is OPEN to EVERYONE, right now!

Join us and help rebuild our virtual world!

The links to the site and our development group on Facebook are in the signature. In order to keep building new surprises for the rest of our members, we ask that only content creators and developers apply to join the Facebook group. Best regards

All right, FINALLY! E-mail verification has been disabled. We haven't had time to actually set up the new e-mail server yet anyway. Hopefully disabling the "feature" altogether will allow more people to register and experience Psychatica without any more hurdles! Of course, there still has to be a way to help ward off spammy registrations. The system already tracks the date you last logged in... As of right now, it does not do anything with this information. However, in the future we might have accounts that have been inactive for a certain period of time get deleted from the system. If we implement that feature, we will issue a clear notice on the Facebook page as well as on the site itself. Additionally, once we get the e-mail server all sorted out, we can send out an e-mail notification if your account is about to be terminated for having been abandoned for too long. Ah, it feels nice to be able to write an actual update after appearing to be inactive for so long. Hope everyone's having fun

Been seeing a lot of people saying things like "this server needs improvement" and other stuff. Saying things like that won't help much. I already know there are a lot of things that need to be fixed, and I am doing my best to make it happen. What would really help is if people would be more specific as to WHAT it is they're looking for and HOW the site can be improved. And please remember that it is STILL in development. If you have any ideas for improvements or features or (best of all) things that would set us apart from other similar sites, please mention them here! The good news is, we have made significant progress on the technology behind-the-scenes, so even if you're not seeing everything at the moment, be patient; things will start appearing soon! We are currently working on revamping the side-view avatar base, which means that we'll need to re-design the items and everything before they will "look good" on the avatar. We hope you will continue to be patient as we work hard to bring you new features and improvements, and keep us informed with what works and doesn't work, and what you'd like to see in the future.

Hello fellow Psychaticans! I'm excited to introduce another new feature... Now, when someone adds you as a friend, accepts your friend request, or comments on one of your Journal entries, you will get a notification in the "Notifications" panel on the left side of the page ("So THAT's what that is for!!") Other modifications this week include fixes to the commenting system on the Group Topics, as well as adding comment feature to the Journal Entries. ^.~ I hope to see you all enjoying Psychatica as we continue to develop and release more great social networking features in the future!

I am sure after this, "Man, it's about time!" will be said... Psychatica now allows you to choose from a wide variety of privacy options for your profile. You can make it completely invisible, or visible only to friends, or visible only to other members of Psychatica, or visible to everyone. We are trying to bring PhoenixSNS in line with other major social network services in the capacity of security and privacy features it provides. In the future, expect to see privacy options for Groups and Shoutout posts as well.

After some heavy coding and testing, it seems that PhoenixSNS is once again running at its full potential. There are definitely some issues here and there, as the other Market tabs (besides Items) are not fully implemented and thus display a blank page. I will be checking the server logs routinely to see if there are any other blanks showing up and I will do my best to fix those if and when I see them. Right now, I'm going to start working on the Chance system for obtaining random Market items with each spin of the knob. The prices for the Chance at various levels are as follows: 150 credits Basic Chance (no animated items) 300 credits Enhanced Chance (animated items) 500 credits Super Chance (animated items, double spin) So taking into account your daily "allowance", you would have to log in (not necessarily consecutively) twice to play Basic, three times to play Enhanced, and five times to play Super. Now the question is, how will we ever design enough items to make all these usable...?

[psychatica]

These past few days have been awesome for a single coder and a bunch of artists working on Psychatica! We are happy to report that Starter Packs (item sets that will be offered upon next login to members who do not currently have any items in their Inventory) have been completed and are ready for use! There's only one Starter Pack in the system, but we are working hard to get more out there as soon as possible! If you don't like the one that's out there now, please wait until the rest are completed in order to select the one you like best—the system will only allow you to make your choice once!
