Better late than never.

It's been in discussion since early January 2017 then confirmed in April 2018.. I wouldn't say its late.

They clearly are working on something really good, it's going to be interesting to see..

Definitely interesting and was definitely more of a visible approach to see rather than HTML5. Think this will really divide the communities in terms of Habbo and retros. We've prepared an App for Boon just like the ones that exist already - but no retro is a trustworthy source as it is, so the likelihood of us using that is pretty much zero.

I can't see many people tailoring their hotels to the above teasers? It just looks like it totally appeals to a different audience. Kinda makes me feel like the best approach is to just go HTML5 for retros and support the native hotel theme, along with the new one by a user's choice.

But it's definitely mobile tailored and for a younger audience... It does look like it's done on a very tight budget though.

Oh wow... yikes.

Habbo has long since been morphing into something completely indistinguishable from what it was... what it's supposed to be. It seems that Sulake, with every new update, is little by little taking away from Habbo what makes it, well, Habbo; personally, I wouldn't mind it one bit if retros simply remained in the flash era, reaching the last pre-new client update and freezing in that production release while perhaps working out newer features for it or hell, even bringing back features from past versions and integrating them into a modern environment, who knows, retros could actually bring back the Habbo we all grew up with... but, perhaps I'm simply being a foolish optimist.

The security concerns that arise from sticking with flash are far too consequential to be disregarded so easily, especially when there wouldn't be anymore updates from Habbo to make it all, to some extent, worth it. I'm genuinely interested to see how the retros community at large adapts to a post-new client era, maybe one of those HTML5 client projects will take off and usher the community into a new, better era, maybe retros will die out, maybe a black hole will swallow our solar system in the coming weeks, who knows, it's just a bit disheartening ngl.

:lol:

I hate this UI so much. The level bit is confusing me. Maybe they'll be doing some sort of looting system with it?

This UI would be so much better for the desktop version, I don’t like how they’re gonna port mobile to desktop...

Even if they do port Mobile to Desktop, the whole Interface will be redesigned over the months as it is just the beginning once again.

but i mean isn't that what they're doing regardless?

Of course, there's still a large amount of time for change, I mean its not like we didn't get new UI's that any of us didn't link since the big hand died.

Good luck designing furni/clothing without being able to rip it. xD

I'd prefer this:

It'll be extremely easy to rip the assets... nothing changes in regards to that..
