  While taking some time to learn at first, it's easily one of the most enjoyable and fun widgets out there. Every Chumby owner should really give this a try.

  It's worth buying a Chumby just for Chumbyland alone!

  By far - The best chumby widget ever.

  There are people in my Chumby! The treasure hunting got me hooked on the Chumbyland widget but along the way I have bumped into many friendly people ready to play games, talk, and be as helpful as possible. Be prepared for social interaction and open ended exploration with this widget. It will make your Chumby a whole lot bigger than it was before.

  This is the best widget out there for the chumby, without a doubt. The chumby is a great device and chumbyland pushes the chumby into another realm. So much care has gone into this widget, I don't think I'll ever get bored with it. You can interact with people all over the world, play games, collect cute little items, and do much more. It is way too much fun. Give it a shot, ask others for help, the community is great and everyone is helpful and kind.

  Takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you figure it all out this ridiculously simple cross between Second Life and traditional role-playing games become ridiculously addictive! A lot of fun and a great way to meet fellow Chumby users out there. Hats off to the developer on creating a must-have widget!

  It probably seems insane, but yes I did develop this on my own. A good majority of the ideas came from the community though. It's come a long way from 5 months ago. Thank you to everyone out there in Chumbyland, it's been a blast! :)

  Seriously, did you develop and write this entire widget? That's very impressive depth that actually ties in some fun while bringing the Chumby community together. Awesome work, man, awesome work.

  It would be fun to go through being a new chumbyland person again.

  Very cool 'game'. You owe it to yourself to invest a few minutes of time to get sucked into it. Initially I thought it was not for me...but then I played with it for what ended up being hours. Very entertaining and a very nice piece of work. Well done Develephant. -- Chumble Bumble

  zbabin - There was a major functionality update that had caused some problems, but was adjusted just last night back to stability. You can always keep an eye on the development status as www.mychumbyland.com as the widget is always changing and being updated. Try again, I hope you enjoy it, many others seem to. :) Cheers.

  I really like this game however it has a poor stability. Leaving the game open for a night makes it crush. you guys should check for memory leeks and bugs.

  This is what happens when a creative yet unemployed programmer has too much time on his hands. Bravo!

  OK, I'm a chumbyland addict. And I like the chumbyland photo feature. Sort of weird and hilarious at the same time. Relaxing, fun, frustrating...just like golf is reported to be. Favorite feature: DNA hijacking. Look, Ma, I'm a hunk o' cheese!

  Develephant, Chumbyland is amazing, I've been using since the first release. It has come a long way since then and every day Chumbyland gets better and better. I can't wait to see what's next. Thank you for creating this awesome widget/world!

  This household is loving watching our chumby tripping around the chumbyverse interacting with other chumbys - fantastic widget! Thank you so much for the considerable effort put into keeping our streaming radio even more entertaining!

  Chumbyland is my favorie widget yet, i'm constantly checking my chumby to see what is up with my little guy. also, check out the chumbyland forums at www.mychumbyland.com

  Love this widget, its my favorite. Never played anything quite like it. Its always fun to meet fellow chumbians I could suggest though, somehow add weather info too. So like at your Home in real life its raining, in your Chumbylands Home its also raining (based on weather localization via the Weather channels feed from weather.com or something similar) and also day & nighttime reflected in your chumbyland home.

  Enjoying so this widget! I look forward to the many changes possible in future. Develephant, thanks for keeping it just plain FUN.

  @SilverMarc - This will be addressed in version 2, but for the time being you need to have at least one other widget running. The best refresh time is about 5-10 minutes max. Thanks for the comments.

  I must admit, when this widget shows up on my channel I'm always happily compelled to interact with it to see what's going on with my "Chum." I've noted, however, that if one "sticks" on the widget or sets it to permanent, the actions of traveling or returning seem to cease, so one has to either reload the channel or, as a workaround, set two Chumbyland Widgets as the only widgets on a channel so they're "forced" to reload regularly. Perhaps this could be looked into by the develephant team. --Marc

  I would not have thought I would get to the point of looking forward to see what my chum has been up to! This is already very cool... and I can tell it is only getting better! I can't wait to see what Develephant has up his sleeve next!

  Oops! I created an item for Chumbyland but the background isn't transparent. Is there a way I can fix it and re-upload the artwork so it looks nicer?

• develephant

  @adrian.bloomer - You can view a whole guide here http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=3030, but you need to have a Chum on your My Chums list, or wherever you see a send mail button.

• adrian.bloomer

  Hi! Excellent widget! But I'd like to be able to change the name of my Chum. When I joined Chumbyland the name of my chumby was just the default "Chumby", and now I cant change it. Or can I?

  Version 1.6 adds some simple customization. Thanks for the comments.

• MaxSMoke

  September 29, 2008

  Please add: #1. The ability to change what your Chummy says when he's clicked on. #2. The ability to enter in a URL to a properly formatted JPEG so you can change the background of your house for visitors to see. #3. The ability to make gifts, either using the setup interface on this website, or on the Chumby itself by selecting a ICON picture and adding some text to name and describe it. #4. Time and Date display. Thank you very much for your work on this intriguing application!

  I'm sure you are already thinking of these, but here is a list of possible additions: #Your chum is named after your user name (but would therefore limit to 1 chum per user) #Your 'home' is named after your chumby #You can see people that are passing thru your chumby/home #You can choose to view your chumby/home or the chumby in which your chum is currently travelling thru #You collect items which are visible in your home/chumby or on your chum #More stats: levels/exp, distance travelled etc

  The widget needs to automatically update your chum's status - if you have the widget pinned, your chum will remain doing the same thing forever, you shouldn't need to manually reload the widget to update the status of your chum.

  Please enhance your description here with some details on how to USE the game. It's not very clear. There's no information on how to change what your character says when you tap him, or how to find things.

  I'm confused on how to use it. I go to pack and he does nothing. Maybe some better instructions?

  Hi cbreeze. Just stumbled across "Chumbyland" - thanks for a great implementation of my original idea. You've really captured the essence of what I was thinking. I hope everyone in the chumby-sphere takes a look and helps develop this concept further. Cool - ricmib

  I'm a tad bit confused. I told my guy to take a short trip, and he's been packing for quite a while. also, these symbols keep appearing above his head. what are they? is that the only thing it does for now?

  Awesome, just awesome. I'm looking forwards to your next stuff, Develephant. You might just make the Chumby Widget world rock.
