Dear TinyCo: I Would Really Like…..

Hello There Clammers!

As the game evolves we’re noticing more and more of you commenting about upcoming items/features you’d love to see in the game.  So (as suggested by you) we’ve decided that once a month we’re going to give you guys the 1 central place for you to put your game requests (features, events, characters, decorations etc) would be the best place for TinyCo to see all of your great ideas!

Remember..TinyCo does listen to YOUR requests (and they read this blog!) as evident by a ton of the features we see in the game today!

And to get the ball rolling I’ll kick it off…

Dear TinyCo…I would really like to see the task lists for characters shortened.  I’m not saying eliminate various times, instead eliminate multiple tasks that take the same amount of time.  For example….Brian (just regular old Brian, no skins) has FIVE 2hr tasks…that are all indoor tasks!  Then he has two 4hr tasks, 3 6hr tasks,two 8hr tasks, two 10hr tasks and two 24hr tasks…are all those repetitive task times really necessary?  Especially when the character is just going to a building to disappear inside?  Can we shorten these lists up a bit?  Thanks!

So now it’s your turn.  Go on and let us know what YOU would like to see in the game!  Sound off with your requests in the comments below, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

  5. I would really like to see the GIANT CHICKEN and please dont leave it at one or two outside tasks. You could e.g. make a few shared tasks with peter where they fight at different decorations.
    In general i would like for future characters to have more outside tasks, shared tasks and decorations included.
    Also please bring out a few more costumes for Roger, he has so much more potential!
    Also some kind of trophy for maxing out characters (e.g. clams or a new skin).
    Thanks for your consideration.

  6. Dear TinyCo, pleass do a Star Wars Event!!! That would be the best update ever with the currency being Lightsabres and the chance to get actual characters from Star Wars like a playable Darth Vader and Chewbacca and you could the Millenium Falcon. Family Guy had a Star Wars episode I believe so there would be NO excuse to add the skins from the episode like Stewie Darth Vader/ Voda, Peter Han Solo and Lois Leia. Please reply as this update, if done correctly can be the best update ever and make me spend my money on the Star Wars clam items

  7. I posted this in an earlier thread, but I would really love to see this:
    I think if a player has more than one worker, they should be given the option to employ multiple workers on a shared action.
    For example: if it takes 20 hours for one worker to clear a plot of land, the player could be allowed to add a second worker to reduce the total time to 10 hours.
    I would definitely buy more workers if they could be used in this way.
    Thanks!

  17. Oh, also, when designing new items, consider the fact that we are looking down at the town, so everything we see is outside. We never see anything inside any of the buildings. Why would Chris’ drafting table be outside, or Bonnie’s poker table? Why are the Ghostbusters’ lockers outside? If it doesn’t make sense, design something that isn’t just going to get dumped in our inventory when the event is over.

    I would also love for more characters to have tasks between 12 and 24 hours. I prefer to see everyone every morning, so I tend to put every character that isn’t on a quest or working on stuff on tasks that are ideally 16-20 hours each morning so even if I wake up earlier the next day I can once again put them on a long task.

    • I LOVE that option myself. You can see instantly every character and building in town when you pick them up that they have a task with. It also helps when I need to “move” one out of the way to another area of town. Especially if I want to stage a “scene” and send a bunch on the same task. I have so much fun with it.

      I do see why others may not like it, so an ON/OFF option would be great. You could switch it to OFF and I could leave it ON. 😉

  32. -I’d really like to see an outside action for Stewie and Rupert… Also, at least one more animation for some premium skins like New Year’s Brian and Steroid Stewie! it’s sad to have them all the time inside buildings, especially after being purchased at those prices.
    – Jason and Freddy Action
    – I’d like to be able tu buy again the fart of the covenant for Adventure Peter
    – No more repeated characters to get the same item! – for example right now Mutant Stewie and Iron Baby are needed to get the same EPIC thing.
    – Be reasonable, Epic items on limited time quests is quite a fraud…
    – Something more for Cleveland?? – he doesn’t even use his own house!!
    – More Land… but not only for new districts, but simply LAND! there is no point on having new blocks opened if we are forced to place huge buildings and Decos.
    – LESS limited time events or characters… really, it’s getting bored.
    – Fix all those buildings glitches – so far, pLace, chutes and lads, the theatre, Comic Book store, Pawtucket Brewery, Channel 5, and the Acuatic Park have issues regarding corners that get above other stuff or double layers visible on its animation
    – Sometimes, regarding premium mystery boxes, there are some terrible items (the dreidel for instance, I mean. that’s not worth the chance for the price) – Maybe the opportunity to directly buy whatever we want (yes.. for a FEW more clams I guess) if we don’t want to risk our clams for some trashy object
    How about a district-map finder/location button – since the game starts all the time from the Griffin’s… moving to District 9 or 10… or moving from the top right corner to the other side of the map usually crashes the game
    – Fix the Big Puff o’Stuff – it was 100 Clams and it is still invisible or looks like a color explosion
    – Some characters more related to the Cartoon, shouldn’t have to be limited time (Jesse for example)
    – Just an idea, but I’d like a new way to organize the stock inventory – By theme or event for example (a Christmas tab, a Halloween tab, a comic Con tab) instead of having a terrible long line of items with no apparent order
    THANKYOU!!

  33. I recently nuked my town because it was beginning to look cramped and I know realize the inventory needs more tabs or folders. With all my stuff now in my inventory featured, characters, buildings, and deco tabs its not streamlined enough. Itd be awesome if I didn’t have to scroll through dozens of Christmas Halloween new years etc…. to find the stuff I want to put back into my town. Maybe use folders with the event name or even something like office building, resteraunts, shops.
    Also I agree buildings should rotate 360. I like a more realistic town.
    Second the collect all button, cancel a task button, no dragging random characters around the screen, and please give me someway to spend in game money for a couple of clams or a premium player! What else am I supposed to do with all this money?

  36. Dear TinyCo,
    Please never ever ever do a Star Wars event. During events I almost always end up purchasing the premium characters/skins. I don’t have any problem with this because I like supporting your company based on the product that you’ve created. However, I never buy the premium buildings, mainly because it would just be too expensive for me. But if you did a Star Wars event I know I would break down and buy everything you offered. Buildings. Decorations. Roaming NPCs, like Patches. Even if you charged clams for simply giving everyone a lightsaber.
    So please. Promise me. Promise my dead grandmother.
    No Star Wars.
    Ever.

  37. Here is good one. Make the roads more adjustable. Because of the way the roads currently can be laid out and for the size of some of the buildings you end up with a lot of wasted space behind buildings that are just a square to big. For example you place roads and have a space that is 8 X 8 for place a building. You go to move a building in and the building takes up and 8 X 9 area. Now you have to move the road so you can fit the building and are left essentially with an 8 X 3 space behidd the building that is useless unless you hide a decoration or have a decoration that is taller than the building.

    Also add different addable ground textures like concrete and dirt and water so we can created different areas.

    And make the water area playable to that items can be placed on the water that belong in the water.

    Dear Tinyco,
    I would love to have a “My little pony” event.
    And not in the way as the American dad event was, for which I waited so long for, but turned out, meh. It should be like comic con, halloween and christmas event was, an actual big event.
    First, there are so many opportunities here:
    Tirek, everfree forest vines, timberwolves, changelings, etc as villains. Then all of the mane 6 as free unlockable characters and Luna, Celestia and Cadence as premium. And discord to be unlocked as the final character of the event, like Freddy, Jesus and George Takei were.
    Hasbro is greedy, so convincing them wouldn’t be that hard.
    I would probably spend real money, to get everything from this event.
    Also, considering how big the brony fandom is, you could get a lot more players into the game.

  46. Dear TinyCo,

    I agree with MANY of the other posters requests/suggestions, so instead of repeating them, I’ll focus on my two biggest requests.

    • please please PLEASE give our characters/skins (especially clam purchasable ones) more animated OUTDOOR tasks. We pay good money for them and work really hard to earn them. The last thing I want to do is send them off on tasks where I can’t see them. And more tasks where characters interact with one another too. There are some characters that it boggles my mind that they don’t interact (Freddie and Jason don’t fight??). It seems like our older characters have more outdoor tasks than our newer ones. Why are they being reduced? Some only have one outdoor task?! I know they have the potential to make the game lag (I’ve yet to have this problem with ALL my characters doing outdoor activities), but it’d be nice to have the option on which characters I have out doing stuff and not always doing the same thing.

    • Back to the Future content! I’m not sure there’s anything I want more. If the background music could also change to the BTTF theme, I would be in heaven.

    If you guys really are taking the time to read through and consider all of our requests/suggestions, let me just say thank you.

    Like

  47. – Some way to indicate that a character has an important task (collection or quest) on a different skin than the currently selected skin.

    – A warning (or better yet, a countdown) that there is an update planned, so that the characters I need for a timed event aren’t stuck in a long task when it starts, and so I know if it’s OK to have my builder spend a day and a half clearing a tile of land. I don’t need to know what is planned, just that something is coming.

    – Stop penalizing players for playing. Don’t start a timed challenge that requires a 16 hour build until AFTER the build has been completed. Better yet, warn us that a challenge is timed, and ASK us if we want to start it.

    – Spread out important tasks, both by character and by task. Bonnie currently has the SAME task dropping an extra rare for Pawtucket Pat (unlimited time) and King Butt (limited time, have to get 11, and only 2 freemium characters can get them). That’s just bad planning.

    – Use more characters, especially for district tasks. Why does Brian have nothing important to do at the brewery?

    – Give me something cool to spend coins on. They’re basically trash after the first few districts. I have 2.25 million and I don’t need them for anything. Also, get that buy coins quest out of my list.

    – Collect All button. If coins aren’t useful, at the very least, the game shouldn’t waste my time to collect them.

    – What’s the point of my level? Character levels unlock tasks. I get that. That’s meaningful. Why is there also an overall level?

    – Where’s my plutonium?

    • Oh, and that thing about Bonnie having a competing set of extra rare drops also applies to Jerome. BOTH of the freemium characters that drop extra rare Ghosts for King Butt have the SAME task assigned to drop extra rare Chumbawumba flutes for Pawtucket Pat. If that’s not bad enough, Tiny Co assigned the premium character’s drop task for Ghosts to ALSO drop uncommon Ankhs. Who approved that?

      • I have actually found these sorts of dual-dropping tasks to be beneficial to the player. It depends how they’ve coded the selection process but the programmers are very aware of how to give you the most desirable item drop if you have a chance of getting 2 items simultaneously. Random number generators are like rolling a 100 sided dice. One way to decide is to set the success for the flute from say 1-20, while the ghost might be 81-100, effectively doubling your chances of earning an item from a task. This is just an example of course as there are other ways to write the code.

  48. Dear TinyCo: my two cents on this is that I’d like to see more land available to be able to put my items without having to put them in storage due to lack of space. I also would like to have the characters do less time on tasks instead of having them do 24, 12 hour tasks, specially when they’re needed for dropping items. Also could you make the items drop more often? How about having premium items and characters less expensive? I’ve spent a fortune on clams to get premium characters. Also please have an undo button so that way if we accidentally send someone to do a task we can undo it without having to spend our clams. Also please answer our help when we use the “contact us” from our games because there have been times that we ask for help and we don’t get our issues resolved. Thank you TinyCo.

    It would be amazing if you could implement water into the game. The same way we can build roads, have it possible to build streams. With that in min, some more use for the body of water. I would love for those boats to ride around. Same with the cars.

    Slightly disappointed to see that the marching band from District Ten were just decorations, and not actual NPC that walk around. I was expecting an onslaught of mini-men marching around my town.

    Any word on if we are ever getting Ollie? Also, how about Greased Up Deaf Guy or Ida Davis? I see Death, Neil, and Evil Monkey are planned, so I can’t wait to see them make an appearance. Hoping Thelma, Patrick, Carol, Bertram, Dylan, the Brown Family, Kevin and Susie, Muriel (ghost muriel?), Joyce, Angela, Opie, Santos and Pasqual, Fouad, Stella, Carl, Horace (ghost horace?), Ernie, Tomak and Bellgarde and some others make it into the game in the coming year. Oh, and a voice chip for Mr. Weed. Please!

    Diversification of tasks. Jerome and Bonnie are mostly used for everything, but why not give some tasks to other characters that are not nearly used enough That would be fantastic.
