Hi,
we would like to enrol the poses into categories to make the pose selection easier. We have at the moment the following category ideas:
1. Talking and social interaction (like talking, dancing)
2. Foreplay
3. Masturbation
4. Oral
5. The 69 poses
6. From behind
7. Woman on top
8. Face to face (including e.g. the missionary pose)
9. Handjob and fisting
10. SM
Please tell us your opinion, and write here if you have additional or better category ideas.
Another question is the visualization of these categories. Icons on Tabs? Drop-down picture list? Or just a scrollable icon list marked with the category names? What do you think about it?
Thank you for all creative ideas in advance!
Regards,
tom

Grouping these would be a big step forward, maybe using background hues on the poses to help differentiate.
i.e. non-sexual foreplay pose a grey, Oral yellow, penetration poses green, more radical fisting, sm etc..being red.
I am trying to think of this gender wide...but honestly wouldn't mind seeing a differentiation there as to "giver" and "receiver" in the MF side.
-
Fetish should be a category if possible.
Also, keep in mind hun that shemales love to receive as well, some more than give. But I love to give :)
-
I'm inclined to say "Finally" this will help with switching to the right pose more quickly. Finding myelf often looking for the right poses. Besides that, there will be more of the room visible, without the cluttering of poses covering the view.
Good thought, and so far I can't see much addition to the suggestion..
-

Do you have perhaps layout suggestion? The enrolment into categories could happen also in the existing select list, but in this case the list would cover the same size of th 3D view.
-
Maybe tabs on the top of the selection window or on the left hand side of it could work?
Another way I thought of just now would be buttons for the categories on either the top or the left and when you press one that category expands into buttons for the poses under that category, then the transparent selection thing could be hidden at times and more of the view would be visible.
There could be a separate icon that is always visible that is dedicated for showing what pose your partner has chosen, otherwise it would be hard to notice when your not looking under that category.

Yes,the visualization of the partner's selection will be solved this way.

Yes, this way the 3D view would not be covered constantly, so I like this solution.

Are you thinking of the partner selection icon as a short cut key to confirmation ? (which makes sense)
I would prefer that it be set it top screen to the left of the existing pose boxes. If the chat box is expanded one would never see the request for pose change.
My preference would be to run the layout of options across the top, move the excitement meters to the bottom right with the users on top position (partner below)
The would be a good time too to utilize keyboard shortcuts ( ie: alt 1 opens up social actions,..etc and the up down arrows for choice. Keyboard friendliness in the use would be a plus) Just a thought.... ::)
I am trying to think of this cross orientation,... "woman on top" better thought of as "rider poses"... Hot seat kind of falls into this category IMO
-
I don't have anything to add to the list of categories you already have, Tom. I do want to emphesize Tight's point about having the option to hide the poses from view so the user can enjoy the 3D scene more vividly. I like Adera's solution to have buttons that expand/hide the pose window. It would be great if it worked like the button to expand the chat window.
Ultimately it would be my dream to have a button to "hide all" for screenshot opportunities and a place to share them with other members. Sorry, went off on a tangent there. :D
A convenient place to put those buttons would be on the chat box with the expand button for the chat window. Perhaps clicking the pose button causes a series of category tabs to pop up above the chat box. (Different color hues like Bear mentioned would be great.) Selecting a tab will expand it, revealing poses within that category. Clicking the same tab again will close it or clicking another tab will change the category list. (Keyboard shortcuts for tabs would be a good option to add too like TAB+1 for first category tab and so on.) I would love to see an expand/hide button for pose actions also. :)
Adera made a great suggestion for a shortcut "partner selection confirmation" button. It's important to me that I see the pose my partner selected before I confirm it so that button will need to have a visual of the pose. (Perhaps this was already obvious but I just wanted to state it. :P)
-
a lot of good idea. looking at some screen of the old inteace, i really think it will a little better for the navigation icon (camera movement and rotation) and i see two icon now vanished: one for screenshot and another one for movie (not sure about the second one!,. so i'm asking my self why they make navigation icon this big (i never use them!) and remove the two icon.
But i'm getting away from the main discussion......
Well, yes, the poses window is getting real big for some gender (MF) and hide around 1/4 of the full screen, so a good first thingh can be a button who hide it and same thingh can be good for pose option, you know. But, most important, if we can have an higher resolution, some space problem can be solved....i mean, the client run in 1024x768 (or it looks like!), so whit high resolution, it's getting really small.
I'm thinking about a solution about the pose icon, but can't explain well here...when i have some time i try to add an edited image.
-
Doesn't the client scale or something when you put it into fullscreen? The 3d view looks better when changing to full screen but the buttons only become bigger. It would be nice if the size of the UI didn't get so large when changing to full screen... well that's my opinion. :)
-
well, Adera, i had notice this if i go fullscreen on 16:9 (my monitor).....the model are well scaled, but the icon get deformed and bigger, so i use it in windows. i usally use windows mode from the first time i play MMO (wow...5 years passed!) for two reason:
1. sometimes i use TS whit my friend, to chat nd play togheter and help us a lot whit strategy
2. sometimes i need google translator for help (my english isn't so good!), so it makes more easy to pass from game to firefox
normally, i play in a 1400 window and it's pretty good for me, cause my max resolution is 1600x900
-
It would be nice if we could just drag the windows size so its resized to our leisure, but options for changing the window size into fixed values would be a nice addition as well.

This is the screen i was talking

what i would think is displaying all categories vertically to the very left, and then having a click expose a horizontal selection of all poses with pictures, you can make it scroll between 5 or so poses with arrows on the horizontal bar
or have all categories to the left and have a click pull up a selection in the middle of the screen
-
I was thinking somethingh like this, Unhealer, so i agree whit your idea
-
Well I like the idea of a folder button with a drop down menu of pose categories, click to open up a specific table of content of pose categories. On the left is perhaps a visually balancing option, mechanically my cursor is on the right, the drop down near the current pose options makes sense to me, since that is likely where my cursor is lingering. Even after messing with POV, I drop the cursor to the active pose area when I return to type
-
this can be how the new interface can be:
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2457/modifyinterface.jpg)
i think it can work good! really good!
I forgot...this is an older aChat interface (1.08) but i think it's alittle better then actual one.
-
oh....i forgot a think: if they gonna add some resolution option, hope we can modify the chat windows size too....make it large, but short and whatever! and please, make a working capture screen.....it will be really nice!
-
humm maybe its stupid , but why dont simply make dissapear the pose window after little time (10 or 20 second ) , and make it visible when a partner choose a pose ? is it hard to do ?
-
The problem with that Rukya is that some might want to have it there to contemplate it. So making it maybe a checkable option is one thing, but if it were automatic it could make the controls more difficult to manage, especially in the heat of the moment.
-
looks like they have change poses interface, as we suppos. One thing i don't have check: have they set resolution option!? if someone can check it, please, let me know posting it here!
-
Yes the pose interface was completed.. a single vertical stacking along the left , highlighting reveals the pose option for each category... but it is rather small and will take some time familiarizing oneself with the available choices. My grip is how small they are....
Suzi, is there any possibility this might be enlarged a bit?
(Otherwise I play with reading glasses for awhile...)
when choosing an option a message scrolls on the chat screen that a new pose has been requested... not certain what is relayed to the partner since I only messed briefly with robot girl.
What are you meaning by resolution? Screen size?
-
Yes, the icons will be enlarged.
-
to be clear the sub folders of the actual poses is what I mean... they do enlarge... when scrolled over...
-
Maybe its a better thing to not see a FM partners pic for chosing the poses when youre homo .
-
I'm quite satisfied with the new categories. It leaves a lot more window open to look at the pose you are currently playing.
Though I haven't had the chance to investigate thoroughly, I have seen the same thing Bear described, a message saying a new pose was requested. I do not know what my partner sees when I see the message, though I assume she will see the same as the hat window is shared, unlike in the profile chat outside of the room.
-
Me too...the new interface is simnple and work good. now, when A-team gonna work on resolution!?
-
A small suggestion I would make though is that the icons for the sub-groups have gender specific variations.
When I jumped in there with RobotGirl I couldn't help but think. "Why the hell is there a guy in the pose group icon?"
Not a big deal, but I noticed it and felt strong enough to make the request.
-
Oh, it's like that? I didn't think about it but now that you pointed it out I think it would be better if there's different icons.
-
yes thats what i want say for the icons , have a woman with a woman for lesbians , and all types their own icon will be better. mayny of my partners where socked when they see the icons
-
That would be a reasonable request, or at least mix it up so it isn't all het set
-

Adera, if you look in SS poses, you will notice in "69" one char have a strap on....so, one of the char is a female! A-tream have no time to work on it!? ::)
-
you know in FF icons there is only on where its not a woman with a man . its the hand holding a dildo ( and i think its a man hand ) :)
-
categories? ... MM users have to beg for basic poses whilst MF users need a filing system and ways to make it easier to find poses because theres so many... seriously, how can the dev team possibly justify that? Ruined my good mood. >:(
-
inazuma, its the law of money , i understand your uhh anger ( i think its the word ) , but we can do nothing esle than hope and prey :)
-
As i said in a different tread, MM lack in kiss, blowjob and some foreplay (well, there is only one, basically) and SS lack in sex poses (even if we have a new one!). so, the easy way is if dev-team start a a converting work of them!
-
but as it seems converting poses is verry difficult , and its more easy to create new
-
yes and no......for a new one, dev-team need to start from the basic and create all: animation, code and whatelse needed. btw, are they using motion capture to create the animation!? eh eh! ;D

The Pursuit of money has cost them the support of the whole gay community, and all the revenue from that community. Considering I'm a paying customer, It's insulting to be told I don't deserve a decent number of poses because my orientation isn't very profitable. Its not like they're developing new MM poses slowly, they haven't developed any in over a year, so no wonder there's hardly any gay guys using the game.If they arent going to spend money on us, dont make us pay money either.
As for converting poses, It depends what program they're using to create poses. I've seen programs that have the basic model and the programmer programs the movement. If they're using something like that then redesigning a pose is easy. All depends on how up to date the A-chat systems are.
(Sorry, I wasn't going to rant but that's what it turned into)

Inazume, i understand your feeling....but, hey, last week we had something new for shemale, maye this friday it will be for MM.....don't discourage

New pose, same old story. Achat wont change from the status quo. its a simple fact, they dont care about paying gay users and anything they offer us will ultimately be a token gesture so that they can say "We gave you something now shut up". Im not leaving the forums for the simple fact I said I wouldn't, but I will never pay for premium unless they actually do something worth my money.
-
im also kind of tired of this shit... im just starting to get the picture of what the A-team stands for... thank god they arent running for office eh
-
for me , dev team is only a group of men , who think only to how men fuck girls , and know nothing about others orientations . Hey DT all that hétéros can do , homos can do .

Development Team, please realize this isn't going to go away, and it isn't going to have a quick fix. You need to start looking to what I believe business title a "Paradigm Change" and alter the fundamental way you develop the game. It is my sincere belief that it will be essential to your business's long-term success.
