Meriko's Musings
Unisexing Project (268)

IMPORTANT: There may be a handful of days between the time I complete unisexing an item and the time you can see the icons in your inventory. If you see text or blank spots in the stores for items you previously could not equip on your gender avatar, just give it five days before wondering if something's actually wrong with the item. :3

GIVEAWAY: Some of the staff thought it would be fun to give away items as we unisex them. If you want a chance to win something that you couldn't equip before, stop by the I Wanna Unisex You Up! thread! <3

Thoughts & Notes_____________________________________

04/15/08: I have not gotten through all 450+ pages of the Which items would you like to convert to unisex? thread yet, but already some items are far and away the leaders of the request-pack, so I'm going to go ahead and start unisexing those items even while we finish mowing through the requests. :3

05/03/08: To clarify, the order in which I am unisexing items is mainly based on the number of requests that we've gotten for the item in the aforementioned Site Feedback sticky. I am also fudging the order a bit based on equipping gender so that there will be something for both male and female avatars each month. And just because an item has not had many (or any) requests for it to be unisexed does not mean we will never unisex it. It just won't be a top priority.

06/17/08: There is no set schedule for unisexing new items. My goal at the moment is to unisex at least a handful of items - and to have at least one item for each gender unisexed - every calendar month. Please understand that pixel-work with deadlines (regular shop updates for instance) must take priority over the unisexing project. ^^ Also, to re-iterate, the order in which items are unisexed is already in place via the tens of thousands of item suggestions posted to the sticky in Site Feedback. Making new requests (or demands) to me for which item to unisex next will not affect the order.

08/04/08: My injuries are healing well and the doctors have cleared me of gout, lupus, degenerative arthritis, and bone cancer, so I am back to work! ^^ Many thanks to my co-worker for stepping up and unisexing the yukatas for me so that the unisexing project wouldn't get too far behind while I was off Gaia-work. heart Eleven items have been unisexed this round; five yukatas for the girls and six pairs of stockings for the guys.

08/10/09: Two new artists have begun unisexing items! BridgeChan and milkbun will be joining me in rummaging through Gaia's closets for single-gender clothing! ^^

Thanks for this. Its great that the female characters will have more variety in clothings (especially some of the more unique).

I can't really think of many female-to-male items I'd like though. D:

Thank, thank you. heart


One small thing, the suspenders layer OVER the gold pocket watch, so when you equip them together, there is an odd black line from the suspenders on top of the watch.


commentCommented on: Thu Apr 17, 2008 @ 03:00pm
Awesome, I think it is so cool that you are unisexing old items, it makes me happy. Oh, and YAY for female Suspenders... now me britches wont e falling off me buttox.

going male to female seems easy.

I actually wandered here from a post in Feedback wondering if you might have a list in your journal, and you do! Yay!

I know that this is relatively new, honestly, but I wanted to mention that after buying up the leg warmers (which I've wanted since I started this site! o.o) they won't actually equip to my avatar. I wasn't sure how long ago you might have made the items or when they may have been updated to equip to the male avatar, so I wasn't sure if it may just take some time before I can actually equip them.

Thanks a LOT for doing this, though! *eagerly awaits more older items, including stockings <3*

Great job with the unisexing. Yes, some items were definitely more requested than others, so of course you did them first.

...I hope overalls for girls will be coming in the next few weeks, though. That would be so great~! whee
