Developer News   2013-01-11

What's new under the sun? You might get the feeling that we've only been focusing on designing proton packs and handing out silver coins lately. We have, however, also been busy redesigning the more important parts of the user interface, mainly the artist andcharacter menus and their respective first pages. Some stuff has been moved around , some stuff has been scrapped, and some things has been added. We're hopeful that you'll find it more logical to use. Be aware that we do not consider this work fully done yet. Expect more changes. We've noticed that many of you aren't fully aware of the customization options that are available, both for individual characters and for your user account. Have a look below for some more intel on that. It might just make your Popmundo experience a bit more pleasant. PS. Refresh your browser cache, otherwise stuff might look icky! Since the start of the new version, some very wished for settings and options have been implemented, for example regarding confirmations, relationships and default way to travel within a city. Make sure you have yours set the way you want them, because these babies can save you a lot of time and grief. User settings In your shortcut bar up top, you find "Account Details". These are valid for your entire account, and in other words across all your characters, if you have several. Settings you can do here include (for example) which notifications you'd like to see, if you want to see percentages written out on bars, and how often you would like to have confirmations pop up. Character settings & permissions (Found in the Extras menu of your character) These settings mainly allows you to control how others interact with you. Can anyone give you items, sex you up, send you messages, and use items on you? Or would you like either of those to be unique for friends only, or maybe locked for all? You'll also find characters you've blocked here. If you are VIP, you can make special exceptions to each of these settings, per character in your adress book. Character personality & behaviour (Found in the Career & Activity menu of your character) These settings include your attitude and default ways to travel within a city (meaning you don't have to choose each time you move), along with the settings surrounding how you behave on tour.
