Hello There Tribblemakers!
It’s been a while since we put one of these up, but figured it was a good time.
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..or even questions/concerns you have about the game. So we’ve decided that once in a while 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… Bunny would like…
1: The Inventory a little more organized. I like there are 3 separated tabs, but I would like it to go a step further if possible. I would like the Decorations & Buildings either Alphabetized or maybe grouped into Events (they kind of are…but still odd ones pop in there). It takes a bit to find something in there with all our cool “stuff” we got. Especially when something is just randomly placed in the middle.
2. Cancel Characters Task Option. It sucks when you want to send a Character to do one thing but accidentally send them on another. Or… just sent them off and they’re all of the sudden needed but now you’re stuck for hours. Being able to pays coins to STOP the Task in its tracks would be great. Maybe the amount you would have earned from that task? It would make coins more useful and it a bit easier on us to not have the only options of Clams to get out of a task.
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!
Remember, this is for Creative Ideas. NOT FOR RANTS OR VENTS. Keep those to What The Deuce.

Dear TinyCo.
Please add the ability to allow the character selection to go through a complete rotation – as opposed to requiring you to select the most recent character not chosen. Let me Explain. I assign a task to Peter (click), I assign a Task to Meg (click)…I want to skip selecting a task for Stewie so I click his picture and the next character comes up, Cleveland (click). Now Stewie pops up again…and will continue to pop up everytime until I make him go on a task. Please allow characters to go through the full rotation on the list before coming up again for task selection. Please.
Also, – way too many items are being offered with no comparable amount of land to accommodate these items. There is ZERO incentive, to me, to spend any clams on premium characters or buildings when there is already no room for the dozens upon dozens of inventory items that I already have but need to keep squirreled away due to the lack of real estate.
I would pay clams for more land (within reason) if it allowed me to utilize all the inventory I have.
Thanks for listening.

Dear Tiny Co,
I’d like to see which character will finish their task next and how long they have left (just one, i don’t need to see everyone). With over 100 characters, its impossible to check them all prior to closing the game and it always seems as soon as i put the phone down, i get a notification saying someone finished their task. It could a button kinda like they have when a character is not on a task, just add the timer.
I’d also like to see premium characters have a chance for a clam drop similar to Jesus. It could be extra rare or epic but at least it makes them worth the initial expense later on instead of just being stored in inventory.
Bunny’s cancel task button sounds great too!

Dear Tiny Co – I understand that you want new players to have a fair go at collecting items, so you don’t use characters from past events but for seasoned players – who’ve loyally played, and spent money on your events to gain characters, it would really be great if they could be involved somehow (such as, the 4th character option to collect an item)
Love the new vacuum feature / love that there’s more land / loved collecting nob rep and the leaderboard

I would also like to see Stewie used much more often in the game. He and Peter are the main focus of the show but he is very poorly used in the game. I imagine that’s because he’s a late arrival in the game for new players and if he were used more often during events, new players would be at a severe disadvantage. To avoid this, TinyCo could just have a mini-event for all current Stewie-less players so they could earn him almost immediately. And then TinyCo could go back and make him available very early in the timeline, perhaps swap him and Chris around. I realize that the entire game script would have to be rewritten. But this would be such an obvious improvement to the entire nature of the game.

1. Cancel Task button. Make it free for the first few seconds or so. I have sent characters on the wrong task more times than I can count do to my phone freezing at the wrong second.
2. Reuse the limited/premium characters. I have said it before, but will repeat it here. Instead of having only 3 of the “main” characters have tasks to drop items, include a bonus 4th one that is an old premium, event or skin. Make it so people without the old character can still get the drops, but long time players get a little bonus.
3. Give us an in game message a few days before any event (mini or major) is to start. I have gotten behind in so many events because I either have a character on a long task or have my handyman busy clearing a section of land and can’t build the buildings to start. If we know on Tuesday that an event is starting Thursday we can plan things better. Maybe include “keep Peter and Brian free for 3pm EST.”
4. Ease up on the number of buildings. 1 or 2 per district/event is fine. 27 every week of an event is over kill.

I know there is very little chance that we’ll ever see this but I would love to have many, many skin options to earn for Roger. He has so many awesome characters and I would love to have Jeannie Gold, Laura Vanderbooben, Ricky Spanish, AT&T operator Sholanda Dykes, etc. doing tasks around my town. It would give us something to do when there isn’t much happening. And it would give me great joy since we’ll probably never see an American Dad game.

I second this opinion so much. Also, if events were character-driven (like if you own the Smiths, mini-quests to gain characters like Jeff Fisher, Avery Bullock, Greg & Terry, Snot/Barry/Toshi, etc would kick off) it would make great use of those special event characters and not affect regular/new game players.

Dear Tinyco,
What I would like is the following:
– the inventory to be more organized in sub categories divided in the different events the items were introduced such as comic con 2014, Halloween 2014, Xmas 2014 etc
– a cancel task option
– more land to place our items that is not dependent on when new districts get introduced
– no more leaderboards in future events as it was very cumbersome to keep up with it
– bring back previous buildings and decos to purchase that were in timed events
LikeLike
land…..more of it, more often!
its all well when districts like this most recent come, it unlocks a bigger section but that still isn’t enough. with all the stuff many of us have to store due to lack of land, by the time they do release some space….we can more or less fill it with what we already have. and add to that the fact they always introduce new buildings with new events…makes it even worse.
so i’d love if they’d follow that game about the yellow people in regards to land. that when some is released, its a very substantial amount. i love both games so its not a competition but the amount of land they release in one shot often is enough to practically fill all of the current FG land into one place.

I’d like to see a move away from random drops, at least for timed events. Figure out how many times the average player should have to do a task to get the number of drops you want us to collect, and just make it take that many always drops. I’m tired of events getting screwed up because the drop rate is set incorrectly, and I don’t think it’s a fun gameplay element to have to hope that I don’t get screwed by your random number generator if I want to keep up.
I’d also like to see characters used that make sense, even at the risk of making events slightly easier for some long-time players. I can’t believe that Vinnie was totally useless during the mobster event, for example. You couldn’t even make his tasks drop a few cookies when you had skins that cost tens of thousands? And why are the other ghosts totally useless for the graveyard district? That’s not even a timed event, so there’s really no excuse for that.
What I’d really like to see, however, is more testing before events are released instead of relying on us to beta test them while the clock is running.

The cancel task button was a genius idea. I would like to add a feature where we can exchange coins for clams. That would be awesome. Also, I tend to buy premium characters because I think they’re cool, but they have no use after the event is over. Maybe tiny co. can find use for them in future events instead of the usual, mort, Jerome etc.
One last thing, the Consuela vacuum really did make collecting coins much easier.

I would love to have more regular characters in the game, not characters that have appeared in one episode of family guy like the evil stewie or Olivia fuller, what’s the point. We’re trying to recreate the town we all love and there are too many needless characters. I didn’t even bother doing the Valentine’s Day event. Benedict cumberbatch and Arnold, and chreryl appeared in one episode. Want more characters like Oli williams and the characters that are going to be soon available, death, Neil etc. maybe clevelands family would be good we already have junior

Dear Tiny Co,
I would like to see different “dimension” Quahogs. Similar to the Star Trek event. We can build different Quahogs for different events (such as Halloween/”evil, Christmas/winter, “nerds”, etc…). We can visit each Quahog any time we want. That will resolve the “land”/stuff sitting in inventory issues, and the game won’t be working so hard and causing crashes or glitches. It would be fun too. I really enjoyed visiting the enterprise. It would be cool to do that with a star wars event, as well………given that there was a Family Guy Star Wars movie. Lol

Dear TinyCo:
Not much to add that’s not already been said (love Consuela’s vacuum). But as you know we have some limits to the amount of land available (which as you say affects file size and the like), but don’t give us any more quests that involve buying and building objects that are just cute but don’t involve themselves in the questlines. If we need to purchase a building, make it used in the quest. There’s only so much room and my town is filled with things I “needed” to buy but don’t even remember what it was for or where it might have come from.

Dear TinyCo.,
I would like to have more use for the additional characters from events and such (premiums) so they can actively participate in collecting the “stuff” that we are always going after. Constantly scrounging for coins that we don’t need makes them feel useless.
I would like the random rarity to be eliminated and to see the collection process go to a time based process only. Need only a few things? Make it a long task on a few characters. Need a lot of something? Make it a short task on a few or a lot of characters. Rarity is really frustrating in this game and eliminating it would make the game more pleasing.
I would like more space in Quagmire’s basement for more women to… eh.. Giggity!
I would like to reiterate Bunny’s requests in that having a cancel task option would be great and inventory organization would make our lives a lot easier when customizing our Tiny Quahogs.
Giggity,

Absolutely love the cancel task option. I’ve gotten a 24 hour task before right after I sent everyone one day long quest. I really like the idea with matching character s like we did with valentine. Also I think there should be more to do with characters and skins like in Halloween when a lot of random characters could all the sudden drop potions. I would like to see an event that every character you own can help kill aliens or something. That gives us a sense that we are collecting these guys toward something. How about peter and chicken get into a fight and destroy (place in inventory) buildings and decorations. That’s the whole premise of the game isn’t it. It would get people to move stuff around and remember some of the stuff they have and have worked hard to get. Also I can’t believe I’m asking for this but naked peter. It’s hard to believe we don’t have him yet. Maybe in a quest for fur event.😉

Dear TinyCo,
I Would Really Like…….Some type of casino that we could spend coins/clams on a slot machine to win bonus material. That could range from coins/clams to decos/buildings or even skins that could help as well with specific events or unlocking characters. The slot machine could have a 1x 2x or 3x levels which would change the prizes that could be won. This idea stems from a game I played a year or 2 back called XCity. They seemed to be able to do a great deal of extra content with it and it was a lot of fun to play the slots if bored lol

I have a small suggestion I would like to share. What if there were another type of currency called “Event Currency” (or something). Basically it’s a currency that is used for event items that need clams to be bought. This is more of a long term currency (not something that can be easily rewarded).
This “Event Currency” is only awarded during events by completing event quests (main event quest only maybe?). Carrying over from event to event. Each event quest would only award a small amount (1-5 maybe?).
Now for the idea on how to spend them. Players would have to make a choice, save the “Event Currency” for future events or spend it on something during an event on clam only event items (including skins, character, buildings). (Just an idea but maybe make it a 5:1 or 10:1 “Event Currency” to clam ratio.)
As a premium player that loves to support this game, I just wanted to help those who are not able to spend money, giving them at least a chance.
P.S. It would also be a good way to compensate players who had technical issues during an event.

I would really like to see premium characters have some value after events end. I’ve stopped buying them because they are useless after a few weeks and not worth the price in the long run. I’d like to see premium characters have a task similar to Jesus where you can send them on tasks for a chance at clams. It’s really not going to cost much as far as clams people win vs what they would have purchased. If Jesus pays out a couple per week x 52 weeks, that’s still not enough to buy another premium character. That means TinyCo isn’t losing out on too much and it gives players a sense of continued value for spending real dollars on this game.

I’d love to have my inventory more organized and maybe bigger window to see what is in that inventory. I mean, now we have one long list on the bottom, 5 items visible at once. I’d love to see more elements, maybe with smaller pictures, like 5 items in 5 rows. Or maybe inventory as a whole menu, opening full screen. Inventory used to work great at the beginning of the game, now (thanks to awesome people working at Tiny Co) we have lots of stuff that needs to be contained somehow.
Canceling a task – oh my goodness, yes! I think that we all know pain of thinking that some character will be useless and giving that character a long task just to keep him busy without putting that character to inventory. And suddenly a new event comes along or we unlock new district and that one character is needed right away.
And one last thing, maybe a bug, I don’t see that little exclamation mark on my neighbourhood icon. I do’t know how long it was gone, but I guess that I did not see it for the last month or so. I don’t buy clams, so it is practically my only way to earn clams on daily basis, now I don’t know how many clams I missed just because I forgot to visit another Quahogs.
