In my now effort to only focus on actual original content as best I can, I have begone a revamp to "Chao Town" to remove it's fan based chao material from the series Sonic The Hedgehog. Where the programming, and tilesets were original the chao portion was the only thing really holding myself back from seemingly wanting to continue it.

It became based on chao from individuals who prompted me to create it in the first place and being as the "favorite", yet stupid hangout was Chao Chatterz I gave in and made it based off of Chao to continue everyone's expectations of it.

What I am replacing the chao portion of the game with I still have not yet decided. But thankfully the ones who seemingly were hell bent on me making it's theme Chao no longer show interest in Chao Chatterz, or BYOND.

As far as it ever becoming completely original I can not do that. I can keep building onto it as I am working on with a series of minigames, and other social features for fun and entertainment. But in reality, an Icon Utility project on BYOND really is nothing new. It's as played out as all the chat room functions BYOND has seen.

EDIT: Feel free to check out our help request at Bad Karma Team's website here. Who knows, if we like your idea or icon submission enough to be the replacement we might send you a 25$ paypal payment as our thanks.
