Coming Soon: Express Yourself With Avatars

Written by gamesville / April 4, 2007 3:20 pm / 113 Comments

Update – July 13, 2007

Good news: Gamesville Avatars are now live! Try Gamesville Avatars now–it's 100% FREE.

Note: As of this moment, you can only see your own avatar. However, very soon we're going to give you the ability to see each other's avatars through chat and other means–so get creating!

To everyone who wrote in about avatars over the last several weeks: This was a different kind of project for us to work on–and we appreciate your patience as we worked on it–and we hope you enjoy it. 

If you have comments about things you want to see (more eye choices, for example, or a certain kind of hat, etc.) please post those ideas here and we'll take them into consideration as we introduce new pieces of clothing and other items to dress up your avatars.

If you have questions or comments about the avatar system, post them here as well and we'll do a round up of questions and answers in the coming days.

Have a great weekend, and have fun with the Gamesville Avatars!

Sincerely, 

Chris Cummings
Manager, Gamesville.com 

Update – June 21, 2007

We've entered the QA phase for the project, which is great news. Our target launch for avatars is the second week of July. In the meantime, here is a preview of just a handful of the avatars you can create easily and quickly with the Gamesville avatar system…


Update – April 4, 2007

Avatars are one of the new features coming to Gamesville.com over the next few weeks–and we're really excited about them.

What are avatars? Basically, avatars are a representation of yourself that are connected to your username. 

Those of you who have been around here awhile will know that Gamesville currently offers a rudimentary set of avatars in games like spades and euchre. We will continue to support those avatars; so if you like being the crazy baby head, you can continue being the crazy baby head. But we're soon going to add dozens of brand new avatars that will help you express yourself and your mood like never before.

Best of all, the Gamesville avatars will be available to all users, FREE of charge.
