Title: Secret Builders - Launch Today
Post by: disvaclub on December 04, 2008, 08:56 PM
Found this in my daily search of finding that virtual game.   

It is very cute, still investigating it tho.  Thought I would share.

Thanks Dis!  From the graphic on home page, it looks kind of like EI.  But it also looks like it has things I like.

I have bookmarked it, and will check it out too. ;)

OK, this game is seriously cute! There are 3 lands/towns (haunted valley, treasure island, enchanted woods). So far, I've just been exploring haunted valley. There are games in each of the 3 lands, but also more games in each of the lands themselves where you can earn shills (coins). So far I've played puzzles, a game like snake, I've caught ghosts (reminded me of vmk fireworks), a slide puzzle, a sling shot to keep a can in the air... it really looks like it has possibilities. I haven't checked yet, but there are multiplayer games as well and you can click on someone and challenge them to a game. There's a buddy list, a chat log, safe chat if you choose, a home to decorate, shops...magic you can cast on others...QUESTS... The only thing I don't like so far are the avatar choices -- there are no green eyes and no way to change eye color (you choose from a select group of heads/hair colors)...and no top hat lol. But it's still cute! OK, when can we all meet here?  :laugh2:

Other things I'm finding...

Just found Connect Four...and a Breakout game (Solomon's Mines)... seriously cute... lol

You can buy pets (so far there is a red dragon, green dragon, a white unicorn and a purple  unicorn). *Cough*

You can also see who else is online...and your treehouse has a loft! So cute! There's a light switch to turn the lights on and off. You can even paint your house whatever color you want. ;) Drat, you can't sit though.

On my first quest -- so cute!

Found a Diner Dash-type game in Alice's Restaurant.

Finding even more fun games while on a quest...and we can dance, do the moonwalk and skate on a skateboard.  :lolg:

Wow, Alice's Treetop House is huge...

Forgot to mention you can also trade...

This game is so cute. It is fun to meet the NPC but not sure why we do. Hey I even found the beast. This game seems like alot of fun. I am enjoying it much more than elf. The games are cute and you can get credits fast.

It is really cute and there are so many minigames.  I haven't explored to much yet but there seems to be a lot to do.  I am not crazy about how we look but it could be worse.  I am dreamtulip on there.

Send me a pm if you're having trouble making credits in this game -- I discovered something earlier that I'm sure a few others have as well. :)

Well, purpleduck is now activated and in the haunted area, getting ready to start the tutorial.

Egads Days, you must be living there for the amount of shills the list showed you had! :lolg:

Hi to Dis and Dream on that list of most shills as well!  Hope I get to join you all on it shortly ;)

Oh thanks for posting this game disvaclub and for DreamTulip even telling me it was here (since I do not read here as much as I should).
Days, Woot for all the help, my credits are rising!! I bought a cat pillow and a hobby horse and a green dragon pet and painted my house.  :)
It was so much fun last night and early early this morning meeting there I made 7 friends from nobs. Woot!! 

I am Pann in this game. Pandora and Panda were taken. Oh well it is the same old me!!   :)
Hugs

Thank you so much Dis, for letting us know about the game -- even though my Monkey does not enjoy it as much, I truly am enjoying it so far. :)

I just received an email reply from the CEO, who seems very, very nice (replied to my message in less than 15 minutes). I has asked about trading, since right now it's very complex. He said they are working on simplifying trading (so stay tuned). I also told him I was going to be sending a list of things that we would love to see added to the game, and he was very open to that. He also suggested we add our suggestions to the suggestion place inside the game.  :)

Also received message from VP of Product Development:

Welcome to SecretBuilders! I'm very sorry to hear about the problems you're having with trading. We're in the process of simplifying the whole trading feature which should help with the problems. In the meanwhile, to follow on with where you currently stand:

1) Once you've added items to your trading basket, you can initiate a trade with any other user by clicking on their player card and clicking on the "Trade" icon.
2) Once you've done this, it should pop up an interface which shows the items you have available for trade on the right side and the items the other user has available to trade on the left.
3) You can select items you want to trade on either side by double clicking on them. They should show up in the center section with the items that you want to swap.
4) Once ou've done the above steps, you can click on "Make Offer"
5) The other user will receive a message that you wanted to make a trade. At that point they have the option of either accepting it, refusing it or making a counter offer.
6) if they accept the trade, you should receive a notification that they've accepted it and the items will be swapped out of the inventory of both players.

If you are still encountering issues, please do let me know.

Regarding the suggestions, our 1st goal is to give our members what they want! It's your world more than it is ours :) We'd love to hear what all of you would like to see now, and in the future and will do our best to make this a world the way our members would like to see it :)

We'll be starting a blog shortly which will outline all the new features we'll be adding with every update so stay tuned :)

I just finished typing up the spoiler with pics for quest 3 (regretfully I did not do this for 1 & 2, but I found them to be easier anyway). Let me know if and when I should post them.
