Hello, first of all, I would like to thank you for the new expansion to the game, as well as for the major patch that added new entertainment options to the city. However, I still don’t really know what to do in the game on the standard maps (I haven’t tried Kahaya yet), so I’d like to share my thoughts on how the entertainment mechanics could be expanded. But first, some fixes:
-
There are still many unused decorative houses. I think I understand your idea: in the future, when new entertainment features or expansions are added, you will also bring them to all cities. That would be great if my guess is correct. But I don’t see why you couldn’t make all the restaurants and other buildings functional right away. For example, in Dovon there isn’t even a gym, which already exists elsewhere in the game.
-
I haven’t tested what happens in car accidents yet, but my character still just bounces off the car that drives straight into me. I don’t take any damage, nothing happens, he just pushes the car away. I also think drivers should behave more realistically when a person suddenly runs into the road.
-
I really don’t like that Zoe automatically “sticks” to the stairs. Why not just allow us to walk down the stairs using movement keys?
-
It looks very strange that, while working in food service, I can freely enter the building where idols and other professionals work, except for the police station.
Now about entertainment:
-
You added movie theaters, which is great, but I’d like to have more control over them. I want to see the movies, buy tickets myself, and check what’s currently showing. Even if the films repeat, this deeper mechanic would make me feel like I’m really at the cinema.
-
I wish boutiques had more meaning. Maybe they could offer unique outfits? Or you could remove the ability to change clothes anywhere at any time. Right now, I can switch into any outfit in the game, so what’s the point of clothing stores?
-
I live in Dovon, and this city doesn’t even have an amusement park. Even the local Los Angeles has very few rides. I’d love to see a big Disneyland-style park.
That’s all for now. To really feel comfortable in this game, I need to know that I can interact with the city on a deeper level. For example, going to a hospital that actually has an interior, not just a big empty building. But then again, what’s the point of going to the hospital right now? There’s very little of that content. Careers with real control are scarce — Dovon only has two, plus two part-time jobs. I’m sure you’ll make the game great, you just need to deepen some mechanics like multitasking and fill the game with more content, while also improving the existing cities. They need to be brought to life as well.
