So I’m here, making my imaginary treatment room available once again to all of you Addicts out there who want to share what they want to see TinyCo doing in the months to come. Hey you at the back, that response was not nice, bad addict, bad, bad addict.
All joking aside, TinyCo have recently been trying to reach out to the Community, they’ve tried Reddit, they’ve tried Facebook, and now they’ve come to us, the Addicts, to ask you what you’d like to see in future events.
What would you like to see more of, what would you like to see less of? Is there an Episode you’d love to see an event built round? What new Family Guy characters or features would you like to see, or even what old characters or features you’d like to see brought back? Is there a celebrity you feel just belongs in the game? Is there an event you loved that you’d like to see a sequel to, or an event you missed you’d love them to revisit? Is there any changes you’d like to see to the layout of the game, the inventory, anything at all?
Basically this is to ask you to help them make the game better, so share your thoughts with us in the comments and complete our poll, in order we can help TinyCo tailor the game towards what the players want.
However if you want to have a vent, please don’t do it here, I’ve created a special What The Deuce for you to vent to your hearts content, you’ll find it HERE!!!
But as well as your general thoughts, please make sure you tell us a bit about your favourite episodes, favourite characters, favourite Famity Guy shenanigans. Whether you would you like to see more Multiverse? If so where should TinyCo take us next? Would you like to see a new district? If so, what would you like to see? Would you like to see new gameplay elements? If so, what would you like to see? Would you like mini-games or new ways to earn clams? Would you like to see more mini-events or major events? Would you like to have a break between events? We are looking for you to answer all this and more, and of course feel free to explain the whys and what nots of your thoughts.
And if you can’t be bothered burning through your brain cells thinking what can I comment, just answer these simple questions.
- What episode/s would you like to see made into an event?
- What Family Guy main plot or subplot would you like as an event?
- What Family Guy characters would you like brought into the game?
- If you want a new district, what district would you bring to Quahog?
- What 80’s phenomenal or popular culture would you like to see as an event?
- Is there a TV show you’d like to see parodied for an event?
- Is there a celebrity you just need in your Quahog? If so, who?
- Whats been your favourite event to date?
That’s just a few questions to help you get started. I’ll put my thoughts in the comments, hopefully Lotty & Bunny will too.
Most importantly remember this is to tell TinyCo what you want in future!!!
And incase you have any issues with the poll below jumping, here’s the direct link.

For those of us, who have not been playing from the very start, it would be great, if the characters/costumes needed for clam-groups (i.e. Peters costumes or the kids table) could still be gained.
In events like star trek II or return of the dog multiverse why not use buildings from the prior event to earn event currency?

One idea to start utilizing older/purchased characters more could be to implement some sort of “Mission Board” similar to what they use in the Avengers Academy game. This could also help with the common/uncommon/rare drop situation. Rather than always relying on a select few characters for each event, 2-3 random characters could all have tasks that contribute to the completion of a mission which results in a guaranteed drop of a needed item(s). This eliminates the chance of an item not dropping and only requires players to devote the characters to the tasks for the set amount of time.

I have about 7 million coins. I keep every building thats not used in the event in inventory and nuke my town after every event or else id have 20 million by now. They’re useless and i wouldnt mind being able to turn off earnIng more just so i can stop seeing the icons above the buildings.
I know the point of the game is to keep people paying, but if you don’t the game has gotten pretty close to pointless. When you need 20 of an item, that is a rare drop and you need 5 super rare drops to try to get 1 of the rares, making progress gets to be really unlikely. The odds are just too long and going for a week and never seeing 1 of the items needed to even try just makes the game boring. That doesn’t motivate me to send money. It motivates me to stop playing.
At the current drop rate i will be lucky to unlock 1 costume, and getting rocky is impossible. That means i am done with the event as i cannot progress past this point, so i might as well stop now. Every event for somebtime now has been the same.
So it doesn’t matter to me at all which show you choose to parody next.

As other people have mentioned, the cancel task option would be great. Task stops, you don’t get anything for it, but you can pick a new task and not be stuck waiting to finish something you didn’t mean to pick or don’t need at the moment.
The other big thing I would like to see is during events is if Stewie has a task that drops an item on a common chance after 4 hours, then Evil Stewie, Bitch Stewie, or Stu Griffin would have a task that would drop the same item after 8 hours at a common chance or do a rare chance at 4 hours. The same could be done with Peter and Retep, Lil Peter, or Dog Peter. Also, for Lois, Chris, Meg and Brian. All of them have different character versions that aren’t costumes. This rewards players the longer they play and gives incentive to keep collecting extra characters.

Whether it be an event for Halloween or just during a random time of the year, I like vampire related stuff year round.

Something to spend my tan lines dollars on that isn’t going to sit in inventory. (ie character)
A cancel task option so that when I accidentally drag over the wrong action I can cancel it without clams.
All event related tasks at the top so I don’t have to go looking and accidentally drag over the wrong action. Power rangers was terrible for this.
More long-term district-type questlines so that we have something else to do if we’re not going to be able to progress in an event or don’t care for the topic.
Something that rewards long-term players for sticking around and buying/earning characters, like having them be useful in events.
Change the “put in inventory” button on characters to “put in Tan Lines” since I’m sure most players would put characters in Tan Lines over inventory anyway.

I was a late bloomer (started playing about a year and a half ago during the Movie Theater Halloween event) but I play now every day. At Level 81 right now.
1). I feel like there should be some way to purchase older Characters. I saw the Freddy and Michael Myers and would pay just to have them!!! Maybe those or other characters from the wayyy past can be purchased through Stewie bucks… which leads me to….
2). Why are Barbara and the Evil Monkey the only characters available to purchasd through Stewie Bucks? I am almost to purchasing the Evil Monkey (already bought Barbara) and most of my land is full of buildings and decos that I dont want any more of those! So Im not gonna use my Stewie bucks on them. Id use them on characters tho!! Expand that option.
3.) Expand the land maybe? I know you already did this with one update about 6 months ago, but I dont really have much land to continue building without putting something in my inventory. Maybe make more items buildable on water?
4). Rewards for having unlock a character (use them in quests). I like how Steve Smith, Carl and Niel Goldman were able to use their “nerd comicbook” abilities to gain us Power Ranger coins in the last event. I think that should be extended in more events. Whats the purpose for a character after that particular event is over? To help me gain Stewie bucks? Id like to see some of those characters used in particular events in the future.
5.) Is there a continuation to the Lazarus Pit? What about Handsome Peter? Spanish Soap Opera Peter? I feel like there are a bunch of in house Quests still undiscovered and incomplete… maybe thats just me?

Here are my suggestions:
1.) Make a new video game exclusive (no toys) themed event like the one you had in Xmas 2016 but bigger this time with video game characters such as from Sony’s main franchises like Nathan Drake, Kratos, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, etc. or classic video game characters like Mario, Sonic, Megaman, etc. or even maybe voice-over actors (like Troy Baker, Nolan North, Jennifer Hale, etc.) maybe for an upcoming E3 event as these would be a cool addition to the roster of characters we have so far.
2.) Although I sincerely love playing this game, my biggest complaint that I have with it is that over half the amount of content introduced each week in every new event costs a high amount of clams now and the prices to buy this premium stuff is getting out of control. I feel that in order to avoid the big flood of hacking, reduce the price of the premium content to purchase using clams only, keeping in mind the player has other commitments in the real world to spend his/her money on like family, food, bills, etc. It’s becoming unrealistic that for those players like me who are completionists and would like to get all the content every event has to offer, one has to pay over $100-$200 each time a new event gets introduced!
Compare this to current-gen console games that cost about $60 + a little extra for DLC that offers the same amount of gameplay time like FG:QFS. If you’re going to remain on this path without doing anything about it to make premium characters and buildings cost much less, you’re going to lose a big number of players. For me this game is more awesome than Tapped Out but please stop making players fork out huge amounts of cash for playing something they truly love. Remember: the players make or break the game. Without them, the game will become a failure as people will stop playing and will turn to something else!
Several suggestions how you may tackle this would be:
a.) reduce the cost on premium characters and buildings as well as offer double the clams for each clam deal, such as, 7000 clams (was 3500 clams) for $99.99, 3200 clams (was 1600 clams) for $49.99, etc.
b.) have a $10-$20 monthly subscription (similar to a Playstation Plus subscription) and players who have subscribed to this scheme can get premium characters and premium buildings for free or spend coins instead of clams.
c.) have coins be worth something. I see many legit players on facebook who have almost 1 million coins and have nothing to spend it on. Have a sort of conversion rate from coins to clams, such as 1000 coins = 1 clam, since as it is at the moment, clams are way too hard to be earned by normal players.
3.) It is becoming time consuming if one would like to stock up on, for example, 100 of each “limited-time” deco before an event ends. At the moment I have to go back and forth from in-game’s shopping cart purchasing the same deco and placing it anywhere in the game over and over again, one at a time. Then, when I reach the desired amount, I have to go in edit/place mode, select each deco once again and finally store it in the inventory.
As you can see, for one who’d want to stock up on the various themed decos before an event ends, it’s becoming rather frustrating having to purchase an X amount of each deco one at a time instead of purchasing by bulk. I’d like it to be when you purchase in bulk, you insert the amount you want to buy of a particular deco, you confirm the purchase, then that amount of the particular deco would go immediately in your inventory instead of placing them in the game.
4.) For every level the player goes up, award clams or a deco/building which is exclusive just by reaching that particular level because, as it is at the moment, there is no incentive as such in leveling up to the max level (level 60) – you just level up and that’s it.
5.) Have the majority of characters contribute to dropping an item for timed events, especially all the premium characters which have been paid for with real money. Almost every premium character introduced for an event is very useful for that particular event only. Once that event is over, the premium character becomes useless and is never to be utilized again for future character or costume item drops. Make these premium characters be worth the money that players spent on them!!
6.) Have a 7 day log-in system like TSTO & Jetpack Joyride, where each day it rewards the player in some coins incrementing gradually, ex: day 1 (100 coins), day 2 (200 coins), etc. and on the 7th day, award clams or a random deco/building which is exclusive just through this 7 day log in system. Missing a day would reset the system back to day 1. In this way, it ensures players keep playing on a day-to-day basis and they can obtain some exclusive prizes as well.
7.) Allow for roads to be added anywhere around buildings and not at particular spaces to allow for more space to add more buildings and stuff. At the moment, if a road cannot be placed exactly behind buildings but a few spaces ahead, I have to always fill in that gap by inserting a row of trees.
8.) Have the ability to add gray concrete ’tiles’ under buildings/decos as having just a green base for certain buildings/decos (especially vehicles) seems a little odd at times.
9.) Have a cancel task button option. Many times I would have sent characters to do their 1-day tasks and then realize later that they’re needed for some item drop, thus, having to wait the next 24hrs until they become available once more or spend clams to speed up to finish their task.
10.) Introduce more districts more frequently because the last district (excluding the Tan Lines hotel) was introduced over a year ago.
11.) Introduce more homes/houses/apartments that could be added in our town as we currently have a very small amount of houses and it’d be cool to build a whole neighbourhood with all the characters we have. Besides having more homes/houses/apartments, include as well more public buildings/shops/restaurants/etc. in general that aren’t tied to any themed event.
12.) Bring back past buildings/decos that were featured in each timed event ‘hub’ area but for some reason or another weren’t able to be purchased in a mystery box with the event currency, such as several items from the event ‘hub’ area of Greek Life & Peter’s Prehistoric Park and the Quahog Convention Centre from the Comic-Con 2014 event to mention a few examples. Maybe you could have them as purchasable using Tan Lines’ Stewie bucks currency?
After all this effort in providing some suggestions to you, TinyCo, I’d really like to hear from you would you think about each point I noted.
Thanks

OK, JP hit on a LOT of suggestions and a LOT of good points, but he touched on my NUMBER ONE marketing suggestion for TinyCo…
We talk a lot about freemium and premium players, and while there are a lot of true freemium player, premium players run the gamut from a little clams here and there, to players like me who will by clam packs every 4 – 8 weeks depending upon the event, to OMG WHAT ARE THOSE PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARDS PAYING?!?
The point being, there are some people who are willing to spend a good amount of entertainment dollar to play the game, and we thank them as they are helping to fund the game, but the large majority of the premium players probably fall in my category – we have a little discretionary cash and are willing to send some entertainment dollars to TinyCo IF we feel there is VALUE in a purchase…if we don’t think there is value, we’ll pass…
TinyCo, if you cut the price of characters and costumes, suddenly we mid-premium and a bunch of low-premium players see VALUE, and while you are decreasing the price per item, I guarantee your sales will increase…(Gotta give credit where credit is due, this is the Russian Tigger “Happy Player” marketing strategy)…we’re parting with more clams because we see VALUE…remember, you are competing for discretionary entertainment dollars, make us want to spend it with you rather than somewhere else…I don’t play the Simpsons game, but one thing I see repeated over and over again here is players who play both feel they get better value over there…
The second point of JP’s I would like to re-iterate is the idea of a subscription…I would gladly pay $10, willingly pay $15 and MAYBE pay $17.50 for a monthly subscription that would yield me premium characters/costumes…that would help TinyCo forecast sales better, keep them focused on improving the game….
All that being said, please, TinyCo, make it fun for the freemium player – I started out totally freemium, and when I found VALUE and FUN in the game, I became a somewhere premium player – your entertainment dollars growth is going to come from the player who downloads the game, plays for a little while, weeks, months, maybe many months, and decides that this game is worth their entertainment dollars because they are having FUN…

To overcome the land problem I’d like to have a way to create other separate ‘zones’ of land that I can switch to to create additional towns that I can use to place my stored buildings.
So like we switch out to different areas in some events.
I could create a 2nd or 3rd town to place the stored building so that a) they can generate money and b) they can remind me of events I liked. Probably more things that we can do with these.
This would overcome the memory problem because we wouldn’t have all the buildings loaded at once anyway.
It’s sort of like a better storage option that allows us to display and use the buildings by switching to another town.

1. More districts definitely: more land.
2. More ways to earn clams. Spending too much money on clams trying to complete event characters and costumes gets old and kills motivation to keep playing.
3. Love the game and events but I’m fairly newer to the game than most; all old characters and costumes should be made available to buy with coins (I would give up 200,000 coins for any old character and costume) for all newer players who missed out on great past events.
4. Shorten the time for characters and buildings that are dropping items; 8 hours for an item you may or may not get is way too long…ideally 4 hours.
5. Timed unlockable characters should not have an extreme double digit of items to collect.

It seems to me the biggest problem besides game play, which to complain about would fill a book, is what to do with buildings and decos. Why don’t we have a whole separate plot of land which could be a ON A DIFFERENT SERVER to build our own town. You could use this area to put all your decos and buildings that aren’t used for main quests. We only use a few buildings for each event anyway, which can be made immovable in your main “Game Area”. This way you can have contests for the best looking world or even hold a mini event separate from the main game. ***

Having the option of buying characters with either clams or coins would be a good idea. A lot of people have millions of clams sitting around waiting to be spent. If you spent real money to buy clams at the $9.99 price point…that would give you 275 clams. That is roughly what a new character would cost (almost $10 for a virtual character)! The equivalent amount of coins is 7,907 (for $9.99). Even if you only had 1 million coins, that would be equivalent to the cost of buying 126 characters!!!
This tells you how ridiculous the price is for buying clams. As people stated above, there has to be some benefit for long time players to use their amassed wealth!

I want:
– To be able to opt out completely from events. Maybe they can provide “catch up” events based on previous events for those who opt out, but even those should be optional. But regardless of whether they do or not, I don’t want, for example, the current boxing event.
– To be warned about the difficulty of the forthcoming events. If there’s no realistic way to complete it without spending more than 500 clams, I’d like some kind of idea ahead of time, so I can be spared the disappointment.
– Events that actually make sense based upon the FG TV series. Power Rangers? Really?
– Progress on the main story.
It’s really not an enjoyable game any more. I looked at the message extorting me to Reload My Game to start the latest (boxing) event (remember folks: other than the occasional cut away scene the only serious boxing in Family Guy was the episode where Lois was a boxer. But let’s just ignore that, throw it away, and do something completely unrelated to anything that ever happened in the show, right?), and I decided “No. I don’t want to do it. It’s another event that’s going to be a massive disappointment because I’ll maybe get half way and it’ll end. And in the meantime I won’t pick up anything interesting anyway.”
So I closed the game and I haven’t been back since. See you end of May I guess.

When musicians release a new album, I’m sure they’d like to have so many people get a taste of their work to encourage album sales. Could work in tandem other industries like Amazon, Uber, Groupon, etc, where small freebies profit them by getting exposure. For TinyCo, I think it would increase interest in the game, and get users to be much more active.

Too bad there wasn’t a question in regards to the clam costs of event characters.
What too high, I “may” be more tempted if they were half the cost!
Almost 300 clams for a character that is only used during the event is way too high!

– I wanna see music related events like 80’s hair bands, bring Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley (KISS) back.
– Reward players when they max characters.
– Let us use our millions of useless coins to buy characters or trade coins for clams.
– During longer events reward long-time faithful players by bringing back already previously earned characters. Don’t say that it isn’t fair to new players, because it is. This way newer players learn that the longer they play they will be rewarded for that.

That is not incentive to make anyone play longer. Just because you knew about the game before me doesn’t mean i am any less deserving of characters like pinhead alien monkey kong. Rewarding you for playing longer really isn’t fair. Come on think about it kinda sounds like you feel intitled to it when in actuality you choose to continue playing if you love the game then they shouldn’t have to give you or anyone special incentives because of time played. And at the same token characters need to be brought back and what not they should do mystery boxes that you can purchase with coins less of a chance but still a chance at past event characters and clams more of a chance at past event characters. Maybe seperate them into boxes based on timing of event. IE halloween thanksgiving and christmas 2014 could be a mystery box called holiday box 2014 while summer event characters could be in a box summertime love 2014 so on. That way you can go for specific characters and items from past events. The only characters i feel shouldn’t be distributed again would be prize characters example of this would be Megazord from power rangers event. If you were to distribute prize characters in a mystery box i would probably make the box a little more expensive and i would change the characters a little bit so that the actual prize character is unique. As an example make the megazord character appear a little darker than the actual prize one that way someone like myself who made it to top 500 has a unique one where someone else who spent coins or clams and was lucky enough to get megazord from box has it but it isn’t the same as top 500 prize.

Two important questions/answers:
Do you like unlockable characters with a set time limit to their creation?
A) Love
B) Accept
C) Hate
D) Hate with an all-consuming hellfire passion with curses directed at the programmers and designers?
Answer: D
How do you feel about the flood of new buildings and decorations that come with every event, mini or full?
A) Love them
B) They’re fine but ultimately useless since they inevitably end up hidden away in inventory because there is literally — and I do actually mean ‘literally’ in the dictionary definition sense of the word — not enough room to display them all, let alone create/keep themed areas in town.
C) Hate them.
Answer B

One thing I’ve been wanting for a long time is a catch up period at the end of the event. Maybe like a final 3 days to a week added to the last phase of an event where no new content is released. This would help more people finish an event or at least progress farther in an event then is currently possible.

I would like a langley falls district so that the american dad characters can be made part of the main game, also I would like them to be early unlockable for new players so they can be used in events (think of the potential roger has with all his costumes and multiple personalities)
Also a doctor who/ BBC event would be awesome with a 4th, 10th and 12th doctor character, and cyberman and davros.

I’d like to see something change with the drop rates. It’s frustrating to have three characters working to earn an essential item that takes hours to earn and all come back empty. Anything that takes 8 hours or more to earn needs to be earned in multiples or require a very low number if the drop rate isn’t common. I like the games where we get to shoot at stuff but I don’t like the low maximum hit limit if the dog universe. 4 was too low for the drop rate of the flea bombs vs the number of items required from the drops.
Keith posted an idea for a casino that would use coins. That is an awesome idea. I have millions and I’ve put away most of my buildings so I don’t earn as much with nothing to spend it on. Major jackpots could earn clams. Something like this shouldn’t be available until a high level or after all of the core characters have reached max level.
There should be some advantages to being a long term player. I’ve played for over a year. I don’t mind that events are geared in a way that newbies can play but it would be really cool if there were bonuses thrown in for those extra characters I’ve worked so hard to earn. Tan lines corrals most of them nicely. But after the event they only help for daily quests. It would be cool if they would come back out to help with events. Or could perform at the casino that I hope will come.
Since Peter can’t go on vacation I would like to see him always be able to contribute to earning his next costume. I often get stuck trying to earn his pivotal costume while he has nothing to do. I still remember the days when he was involved in everything and he had too much to do in the early days. That was much better than sticking him in inventory.
Since we can’t put the cremation away can we have a way to use it?
I loved all of the Road to ___ shows. My favorite is Road to the North Pole. I had a blast with the Christmas 2015 event which seemed to be loosely based on that episode.
I love the crossover episodes. Any of those work for me. Bring the American Dad team back in for another round. I’d also love any event where Stewie is the main focus. Battling Bertram traveling with Brian or destroying with Penelope, anything angry Stewie is good.

I did the poll, but in response to some other issues brought up: I would like to see some new districts. Or even just more land to unlock. There doesn’t even have to be more content necessarily. We just need more room. This was on the poll, but yes, I’d like a week break in between events. And then we’d have time for new main content if some was added. I do like the mini-events, but they usually don’t last long enough to complete all the content. Especially if your game doesn’t update right away (Amazon). I was able to get Spaniel Lois on the last one, but I had to spend 103 clams. A day or two more, and I would have gotten her freemium. Blue Harvest/Star Wars was brought up on the poll. I’d love to see that as an major event. More multiverse events also. I like the idea of mini-games. Something other than just waiting for items to drop. Like the training in this event to earn barbells. Gives you something different to do. Other than using clams to get characters or outfits at the last minute when I run out of time, I tend to drop clams on mystery boxes. But I’m usually disappointed with what I end up getting. Like with the Power Rangers event, I tried a box and got keychains. Was hoping for something more useful that would help me complete questlines on time. Either take out the less useful items from the boxes or make them cheaper, please.

I find the FaceSpace function completely useless.
In addition to the FaceSpace and “place in inventory” buttons on a character’s task screen, I would like a button to send them to Tan Lines resort.
Since there are so many unused characters at Tan Lines, perhaps having more of them work 24 hour tasks for clams would be an option to reward those of us who have been playing a while (King Butt was my first event way way way back).

Rocky Horror – how cool would that be?!? Rocky Peter, Magenta Bonnie, Columbia Meg, Quagmire as Frank N.
