1). Is there any feedback from customers or rating or mechanics where customers ask for items not in the shop?
2). Is there a plan to add a more male looking set of characters or vary the size and height of customers to look more varied?
3). When carrying a box of books or product, can the shelf(ves) with said product light up as the tags are darker and hard to make out?
4). When opening old book boxes and putting the books back, can we please have the box in hand versus dropping to the floor?
5). Is there going to be a way to "paint" light fixtures?

Thanks and continued success with the game.

Hi Cap'n

  1. No that mechanic is not in the game
  2. the pack that was used to make the npc's did not have more muscline avatars
    if you squint at them it might help 🙂
    3.the update has given us green outlines now to where the books are from the box your holding.. closed box shows stock shelves.. open box shows shop shelves.
    4.no
    5.eventually , all work is going toward getting the cafe finished atm.

thank you and I hope you are enjoying the game as much as we do!

Re 4), I think it has to drop because there's a transition from "Sealed Japan Box" for example to "Box of used Books" as once they've been opened, they become fungible and so need to not be in your hand when they go from one kind to the other.

I saw the outline this morning and was thinking I was crazy and missed it before. Thanks for the answers.

For 4, employees can pick up the boxes for you and stock your shelves, then store them if you made a designated spot for Used books

That's also true of 3) and if you want to, it's relatively easy to get staff to handle everything but opening boxes of used books, and stocking the rare book shelf. but a lot of people like the process of doing it all manually.

We have updated the character pack and may very well be looking to throw some more masculine looking characters now that they don't look awful but might be a bit for that. I think Alex is planning to try out some of the more masculine updates for the male cafe employees and see how well that goes (first impressions are good so far though).

For #4, we've talked about improving it but having the used book box always go in your hand and the rare/legendary books get thrown on the ground didn't feel great and switching what goes into your hand based on what you received feels inconsistent and weird

For #5, we've now got tech to do ceiling placement thanks to the hanging signs so user placed ceiling lights are an option that we can do in the future. There are wall and floor lamps already that can be placed and we definitely could do some variations of those in the future as well for a different look. We have to be a little careful though as each light does have a performance price to it so we don't want to encourage people to throw tons of lights into their shops on their own

I'll let Alex decide on that lol. I don't know if the eventual plan is to go through the previous characters and fix some of them up to be more masculine or just add more customers that are more masculine. Since we haven't seen many people complaining about it at this point, it may just be easier to add more rather than going through all ~250 that we've already generated and changing any of them

@pallid timber - for #5 I want to be able to change the color of the light I can buy like the floor lamp and wall lamps.

#

Also the sound for the open and close sign does not follow the audio settings. It's always loud.

We haven't talked about that specifically, but shouldn't be too hard to add other than the UI for it

#

I'm looking into the audio stuff now
