Is Arte dead?

The last update to Arte was literally the removal of hats from the "Crimson" hat/gasmask store (which is in my opinion the most absurd, counter-productive decision I have seen in a while)

I understand that it is not the admins' obligation to publish the people's made graphics, but it seems insulting for players to have such passion and love for Graal and so make items for a game they enjoy only then to be 'kept out of the dark' and ignored.

Frankly, I am unsure as to who even runs Arte and who is even in charge of the last update, which if we had to be honest, was a downgrade, marked as "Out of stock".

Personally, I had a liking to Arte. It allowed for a burst of creativity and interaction from the graal community. It provided items which differed from certain admin made content which seemed lazily done and rushed. (Which is not to say all admin-made content are bad nor that I don't have an appreciation for content updates).

To me, Arte was also a place free from the overpriced. There was no 3k or 4k price tags attached to items. It was not built on a pricing system in which a select few (?) subjectively imposes questionable monetary values of items. Arte items were affordable, had consistent pricing which didn't largely range and encouraged a collecting mentality.

Many would agree that current admin made stuff are progressively more expensive than those sort of things only sold few years ago.

Sure, the publishing involved in Arte to the graal servers takes time, but judging from this rate, Arte has might as well died

Hello!

Arte went inactive as Junz became very busy and nobody really wanted to or had the time to take the project (I assume lol). It is something that takes time to coordinate, specially for one person.

Junz did a great job at managing that, but of course it is a lot of work for one person, specially since he was also building plasma Corp.

Junz released Crimson, and that was the last project he handled.

Gentu and I are now in charge of this amazing project, which I myself took part of before getting hired (as my Wasabi shop was released), but since it was a bit inactive for a while, there are a lot of submissions we have to go through. We have to organize everything and make sure there are no edits, we don’t have a machine-like memory so we sometimes have to go through different sources to see if it was made from scratch.

So it takes a while haha! But it is certainly going to be back, and hopefully at a more steady pace. Arte is a project that I deeply love, and I really wanna take care of it <3

Since snk left junz runs everything.. since hw is never around.. (who hired her anyway?)

Over releasing hats?

Could you answer my other questions, if you can, like what's up with the hat removal arte update- And are those removed hats or "out of stocked hats" able to come back?

Love u nanirima xxoxoxo

No they can not come back, as they were removed for being edited hats.

Well Unixmad put her in charge, even though the rest of the staff disagreed and wanted storm and kirzey to both be at the spot.

Oh sorry I didn’t know they were Questions haha

The reason behind why they were removed was because they didn’t abide by Arte rules. Because of this, the hats will not be re-released.

Junz said they were edited

Who is in charge (or decides) of pricing general graal item like hats and stuff?

That isn’t something that we as admins decide, it’s what the players want to make. I’m not going to discriminate on players who want to only turn in hats only, nor will I set their submissions aside until I get one that contains furniture/customs.

I don’t know if you’re aware but, a player can only turn in hats/bodies/heads and/or furniture.

(Btw my shop was focused on furniture mainly lol)

If u comment it on an Arte thread I’ll think that’s what you mean lol but now I’m confused :0

As for Arte, my point stands. Also there are some shops that whole their focus is on hats, have plenty of other content.

My bad lol i meant in general with the updates, arte is fine imo it's player creations not something that's supposed to be filler content (not in an offensive way)

I agree that last time Arte was pretty inactive and had no updates, also my submission posted 2 months ago is still unchecked(as I think), hope some new faces will appear soon and handle all the work. Ill be waiting for those heroes

I loved arte ever since I heard about it. I had the honor to work on it for a quite some time while sticking to the theme and rules set by BlueFish (original arte creator).
I couldn't however give arte its full potential due to restrictions and right limitations from higher staff, and I eventually gave up, but I had quite some shops planned for release but they never went public.
I just visited the new shops and Im sad to see that the theme and certain design rules were violated in these shops, with barely any shops coming out in the past year.
Hope someone will actually take care of it if the current managers are busy with other stuff because it is always nice to see players engage in the game with such amazing art.

We had to use specific tiles from the tileset and were bound to specific designs for the shops.

Ye ye ye, I feel like people should still at least get an email back saying that their shop could not be made because they need improved graphics or something. Like they don't wanna be left hanging with no answer, cuz then they don't know what's going on.

Can you try sending it once again? I reply to all messages, even if they don't get approved so they know. That's why I am not sure why you haven't gotten a reply. Make sure you have spelled the email correctly.
