My Experience of being a Webkinz Next Beta Tester

[@joceyyy_]

I really don't know how to feel about Webkinz Next, it's a lot different from what I remember, but I'm willing to give it a shot! Thanks for showing us this Sassy, I think I have a little more faith in Ganz now.

[@animaljamlover5000]

Wasn’t expecting such a long video, but I loved every second of it! Considering I’m not involved in the Webkinz community and haven’t seen much of Webkinz Next beyond my own gameplay, it was very fun seeing all the behind the scenes footage. Here’s to hoping for bug fixes in the future..... lol

[@felisazure1820]

It's sad to see so many problems, especially what you said about the art style at 43:42, still remain to this day. I want to find the game cute, but it attempts to look too realistic with its objects for me to get into that cozy head space the original put me in. I also feel like this is the issue with the pet models as well, with a mix-match of semi-realistic parts and overly cartoon ones. Even a year later, this is still a really good video and I can hope they take some of the critiques to heart in the future.

[@anglelau]

It makes me so happy that you can finally change the owner's name! I remember trying to do that on Webkinz Classic last year by emailing Ganz, and they refused for some reason. I made my account when I was like 7... I feel like I should be able to change at least my own name after all these years of supporting Ganz. I guess it's whatever though, lol.

[@jeffsmith3422]

I have SO MUCH to say on this, but I'm just going to sum it up in one sentence. This is both seriously cursed information that no one should have the curse of knowing, and really seriously cute and wholesome.

[@buttercupkat]

I'm glad Ganz is introducing kids into selective breeding. After all, you've got to start young! (I'm just kidding, adopt, don't shop)

[@executiveostrich9214]

Thank you for sharing this! Very interesting! As a side note, 23:43 is my favorite screenshot. Looks like that time I put googly eyes on the family portrait.

[@magarinee9313]

Amazing video!! Thank you so so much for making such a high quality video!

[@Teakinz]

This was so touching, I did like Webkinz next but I THINK I LIKE IT EVEN MORE NOW, I feel like because of this video I have experienced bata testing EVEN THOUGH I HAVNT. I just have to say well done Sassy WELL DONE

[@HeHe169]

This was a nice video, hopefully Webkinz Next will become a great game in the future and maybe I’ll go to it then

[@-natcatsquirrel-72]

Oooh I am so excited for the premiere!

[@gordonfreeman7580]

this is a great video! love seeing the game from a different perspective. i probably wont actually play the game (i barely even play classic anymore lol) but its cool to see the new features being used and debugged.. the feature of making the new pets have no gender and the easy accessibility to change names rlly stood out to me as a trans person whos grown up playing and loving the original game. little inclusive things like that means the world to me haha

[@HARDCORELALALOOPSYFAN]

The sequin moon bear is a real pet now

[@rubyrue69]

damn i feel so bad for the staff hearing about how the launch went

[@squidward_tortelllini]

what happened?

[@gcreates775]

Even though it has its cons, I'm really happy for Ganz. I started playing Webkinz as soon as it came out and it will always have a special place in my heart.

[@tims_adventures]

20:42 south park reference!!! That made me very very happy as south park is my special interest right now alongside webkinz :DD Marjorine

[@toottootgoesthegamer8217]

OML Sassy! Your videos re-inspired me to go back to Webkinz Classic and potentially try out Next. Just wanted to know that I love all your videos and wish I hang out with you via Webkinz XD

[@feathertailfanspoofs]

I do think the orphanage could be labeled as a pet pound like Neopets

[@MrBnsftrain]

20:46 that happened to me when I played the original as a kid, naming my turtle Shelly (I ended up calling her Shely and it took it) based on how little promotion this game got, I'm surprised I haven't heard of Webkinz Next until 2 years alter

[@KateF17011]

I was just playing the Sims and this is pretty much the same except for dogs and cats

I’m adopted and the getting rid of ur pet to REAL players is kinda uhhhh weird I’d much rather some kinda refresh on the design instead…

[@ST4R_JUP1T3R]

I still don't know how to get Webkinz next

[@oiadepitan]

I do like the idea of buying Sparks! Maybe there could be like a spark machine or something?

[@rickmanalwayss]

Apparently in the UK, "butters" is slang for ugly. So maybe that's why you couldn't name the baby butters?

[@sassycat143]

Nah it was because it has "butt" in it, like how the game flagged "sassy" because of the "ass" in it. Probably flagged default because of "fault," too. Unfortunately, it matches letter combinations and not whole words, which makes sense otherwise people could literally write "IEatAss" and get it through the filter, but it does suck for non-offensive names like butters.

[@rickmanalwayss]

@@sassycat143 ah okay. just out of curiosity, did you get paid for this at all, or was it purely a volunteer thing?

[@sassycat143]

Purely voluntary. None of us testers were compensated, we were just supposed to play the game in our downtime and give feedback.

[@magarinee9313]

So excited!!

[@wolfproduction531]

Someone disliked why? She's the best youtuber ever

[@btsrosaline3559]

I thought that this channel is dead I don't like how Webkinz looks now

[@sassycat143]

lol nope, I was just working on this for the past few months.

[@Miss_Rosee3]

I can't believe they replaced miss birdy, although her voice is kinda annoying I still love her alongside ms tabby.

[@brawnzflyingwolfcreativemu2555]

I really can’t wait Sassycat143

[@btsrosaline3559]

I just played it sorry but I was confused on were everyone was and what happened 😂 I was like who the truck are you to all the new mpcs

[@lps_headphones]

Looks really good! Can't wait to play it! I can't get it on Android right now though. :c

[@sassycat143]

If it's not on the Play Store for you, could be because your device has less than 3GB of RAM. Sadly lots of Android devices have so little RAM...

[@lps_headphones]

@@sassycat143 ah that makes sense! Thanks for letting me know! :)

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yin_thewarriorartist8738]

Do you know there's someone on McCarty selling some signatures for $5

[@teddybearfanclub]

Webkinz using the term “kawaii” is killing me 😆

[@georgiee00]

the original lego island from 1997(!!!) had its turn speed linked to the fps. this is an issue from 26 years ago!!!! im ?

[@sassycat143]

It's not uncommon in modern games, actually. Plenty of games have their speed tied to FPS, for example, Splatoon 3 on Switch which released a year ago. I don't like the practice and it makes hacking a higher FPS in a huge pain, but there's a lot of valid reasons for doing it, one of which being it's simpler to make and manage.

[@oiadepitan]

No zumz? Okay Ganz you do you.

[@peliukun8164]

theyre embarrassed they ever created the things due to the minigame attached to em in classic making buddies untradable. when they mentioned where they wanted to take next, zums werent mentioned

[@oiadepitan]

@@peliukun8164 Oh. :(

[@lazygal9]

Yeah I actually like Webkinz Next and I love two new games in the arcade area.

[@btsrosaline3559]

For someone who has been collecting plushies for over 20 years and being 20 and a half I really love the quality of the plushies but you have to pay to play the game

Your lucky your in next webkinz!!

a unicow would have been really cool

[@amiserablewreck8786]

Hello, Sassy. Do you mind if I Do Fan art For Luke and AnneMarie? It would probably have alot of mistakes, Although I would be Proud of the Drawing. It isn't much, However i Wanted to do at least Something for This channel. I Apologize, I'm a bit awkward, But I just want to know if i have Your Approval Before i go ahead and Start drawing.

Yeah of course! I love getting fan art of my characters!

I’m excited

[@citronquartz2779]

this game looks like a mess, and i'm saying that as a fan of webkinz classic. i feel like the game is missing too many features to be worth playing, and there's too many bugs too

[@liamsairplanes]

Can i change my worldname?

[@sassycat143]

Nope, you're locked into it.

[@abigailhawkins7378]

do you have to use a code

[@sassycat143]

Nope.

[@tropicskelekinz6887]

Those eyes tho 😂😂

[@oiadepitan]

I don't really like that they removed the gender feature. It doesn't make sense to me that you can breed the pets but they don't have a gender.

[@oiadepitan]

For all those people who liked that there was no gender, I just want to pick my own pets gender. It won't have any effect on breeding or anything.

[@MinoTyrant]

@@oiadepitan then you can pick out their gender. You can call them a boy or a girl or whatever you want.

[@georgiee00]

show me any screenshot from this game and id assume it was from a discount bin R4 ds cartridge 😭 its so gaw damn UGLY
