I Was Thinking About This Post Earlier And I Realized I Left A Part Out I Was Originally Gonna Include

I was thinking about this post earlier and I realized I left a part out I was originally gonna include but forgot involving the barbie collab suit.

The thing is, naturally after seeing this, one would wonder why they didn't do that for the Barbie collab suit, instead of giving us a copycat skin, but I actually have a few answers.

First of all, as a hobbyist game dev myself, I can tell you that a game dev won't know the full capabilities of their system, unless they test a bunch of random things out, and even then it's unlikely to know the full capabilities. So it's very likely that until recently they didn't even know they could do that.

So then why didn't they try it out for the Barbie collab? Simply because since it was a paid collaboration with something as huge as BARBIE, that wouldn't be the best time to try new things. They had a product to deliver and definitely wouldn't want an event suit that important to have major bugs or issues, so best to play it safe. Not to mention they most likely had a time constraint considering it was, in fact, a paid collaboration.

So, why not try it earlier? Time. We've had quite a few new things come to us recently, as well as bug fixes and the likes, so they were undoubtedly kept busy with that. Not to mention something like this would require thorough testing before being released as a feature, so that would require time as well.

So why was this a complication in the first place? The game wasn't originally built to have multiple skin tones, as the original Miracle Nikki server was launched without them. Skin tones weren't a thing that was introduced until after the english server was launched, and english players began to ask for them. They came for free alongside an old streetwear event and a free suit (youth storm). So the original game's code wasn't even built to handle more than one skin tone, much less default poses for them. The skin tones that came with these suits were, of course, coded as such, and we've never really had a need for items coded as part of multiple suits before, up until recently, when people began to ask for dark skin exclusive suits.

TL:DR; The devs had probably never messed with the possibility of an item being part of more than one suit before and more than likely only tested the possibility recently due to having the time to do so.

So yeah, I just wanted to add this because it's been rolling around in my head all day. I am in no way usually on the dev's side, but I can see why this might have happened this way.

The new wasteland pavilion event piqued my interest until I found out it was, in fact, a pavilion event. Then I was sad. But now I'm slightly interested again because they did something that I thought they couldn't do because of the way the game was coded

They managed to make warm ray part of two suits simultaneously.

That might not seem important, until you realize that this means they can have true dark skin exclusive suits, which I've seen many players asking for, without giving us copycat skin tones in order to make the default pose in the gallery not look kinda really terrible

So honestly? I may be disappointed with the price, and I won't finish it when I could finish evernight instead, but like, good on the devs for finding new ways to make our server happy despite the many various demands I see. I hope they keep this trend up in the future, though preferrably with less hell spam. What's up with all the hells lately this is getting out of hand
