Upcoming Updates for Fiesta: Estate System & Secret Unique Update!

Outspark [GM] Silkypico had posted an announcement about introducing the “Estate System” which is the upgraded mini-home. It allows players to decorate, walk around, and socialize with up to 7 other players. Fiesta players can buy warps for their home so that it’s a lot easier to travel to a specific area.

- Furniture will be useable (Chairs, benches, etc.)

- Holds up to 7 players

- The housing feature is free, but a special quest needs to be completed to use the feature

- Furniture/Deco will deteriorate over time, and players can buy repair kits. Furniture bought from the Outspark Store will use premium repair kits.

The secret unique update will later be announced, and will be coming before the housing update. In order for the housing update to become available this February, Silkypico has set a target goal for Fiesta Fans on Facebook: 10,000. To see the status of the fan count, I’ve programmed a fan count tracker image, which is used in my sig.

Updated Server Status

I recently added Cypion to the server status list as well as made a new sig. My next mini-project will be to make individual status bars for anyone to use.

Project Powder OBT 2 and Fiesta Cap Raise Out Now!

Fiesta’s new content update is looking awesome! Unfortunately at the time of this post, I am on Windows 7 which is currently incompatible with Xtrap and Outspark’s games. I will be reformating by this weekend to get back in the game!

Project Powder has also released a new update with an extra character and a few edits. Hit the more button for details on Fiesta and Project Powder’s content updates.

New Theme, New Version, I’m back. :D

I have a lot of things to say since I last posted, so here goes:

• I found this Vista-esque theme on the Wordpress main site and I LOVE IT. It even has an awesome functioning Start bar!

• As for the site, I’ve returned to using a blog since I have bought a new domain for my friends to use on our “project.”

• I also have been working on this site for the past week- http://www.gamer-universe.net/web101 It’s due Tuesday and I still have a ton of content to put on. I also have to find out what I’m going to use to fulfill my Flash requirement. It’s a site devoted to helping new players interested in Outspark’s Fiesta

• I would also like to congratulate Celtic_Princess on joining the CL Team at Outspark. She’s going to be a huge help for us!

• I have nearly completed my Server Status and Player Stats apps for use on the Outspark Forums

New Fiesta Patch to be Released Tonight

The June 9th patch is scheduled to be released tonight (No official time posted), which should be within the next 12 hours. Pictures are property of Outspark.com.

Hopefully I will be awake during the patching process so I can debug my server status scripts.

Fiesta Server status update

Since the Fiesta servers have gone down about 1 hour and 25 minutes ago, I have been since designing my first server status BG, so here it is so far!

Edit- Today, June 3rd, I’ve just finished my new sig. It might not be 100% accurate at this moment, but it’s pretty darn close!

Fiesta Magazine Issue #1 is out NOW!!!

On the 5th of May (Happy Cinco de Mayo!), Outspark announced a new fanmade piece called Fiesta Magazine made by FatalLace. The cover of it looks very clean and one can tell this isn’t made with haste. Inside you will find 8 pages of wonderfully composed articles, interviews, and advertisements.

There is even an entire page dedicated to an interview with the “Fiesta Player of the Month!” The interview consists of a few questions from the Outspark Staff, and a few questions from Fiesta Magazine.

The last page of the magazine shows us what’s new with Fiesta’s store. Readers can see a list of new items as of last month, as well as a description on what it does and it’s shop image.

I would really like to say, great job, FatalLace! Overall, I’d give this new magazine a 4.5/5. There are only 8 pages (though that is a lot for 1 person to do), and I feel it would be cool to have an “Ask FatalLace” page, which is pretty much where one would send in an email with a question, and if they got lucky, would get a response posted in the magazine itself.

For you Fiesta players out there, I encourage you to read this magazine! I definitely couldn’t have done it better myself! (File size: Approx. 9.8MB, PDF Format)

Fiesta Server Status!

I finally did something for myself, since I was bored and wanted to check on Fiesta without having to restart the game over and over again. It is a dynamic server status, meaning it checks to see if the servers are online or not every time you load/refresh the page.
Later updates to the script will have images produced by GDLib, a module for PHP/Apache that allows users to create dynamically updating images. (Like the forum sigs you see that display your browser, ISP, specs, etc.)
