Dream House

Perhaps this topic already exists elsewhere. If so, feel free to move/delete this.

Since the visionaries (I'm not being sarcastic; I love these folks.) at tiny speck are redesigning the housing rules, I thought it might be useful for players to comment on what they want. I'm confident that whatever the designers come up with will be great, and that many features will be included that I would never have thought of. At the same time, there might be things that matter to me that wouldn't occur to most other people, including the designers. So, here it goes...

P.S.: My feelings won't be hurt if I don't get exactly what I want.

  • I would like to have an above-ground cottage-style house that also has a basement. (I'm a farmer and a bit of a hoarder, so I'd love to have a "root cellar") I would invest in a basement even if it didn't include a dark patch, but of course, I also want the dark patch.

  • I would love to have an above ground house... basement optional. I would like to have my usual veggie patches along with herb patches. Still the pen for my piggies, chickens, and butterflies. But I would love to have a HUGE cabinet for storage as I am a bit of a hoarder as well being a farmer and a cook. If there was a basement option it would be for storage that you could put under lock and key so I can have visitors with no worry.

  • I would like to decorate the walls of my house with my own screenshots of the game, converted to small frames, that I (and my guests) can see full-scale by clicking on them.

  • I'd love to have little personal mailboxes on the outside of the homes. There are a lot of my neighbours that put little treats and notes outside my door, and sometimes people take them.

  • A herb bin with multiple slots. Niches for icons. An icon room.

  • There are some great ideas in this thread! I would like to be able to customize the furniture in my house, as well as being able to change the color of the walls. Also, larger trophy cases and maybe places to store emblems/icons.

  • There's a facebook game I used to play: Pet Society. It has a housing system I've always considered ideal for Glitch: a 'house' icon showing the rooms you need to earn/build that can be visited, one at a time. Walls that can be decorated both with wallpapers and objects on various levels, allowing them to be positioned in the front or behind others. Flooring with levels too..things layer according to the order you put them out.
    Gardens with plots like Glitch and object layering in front and behind. 
    Of course my dream would be more like Minecraft, but I realize it's too far from how this game has been created. 
    The other 2 games that obviously come to mind are The Sims and Second Life, but I really can't see them working here. 
    However, basically I'm just happy to wait and enjoy the surprise. I'm sure it will be great :)

  • I want a little laptop where I can play that farmville type game that the crocs play.  Maybe play against them (can you play against people in farmville?  I've never played it,probably not..)

  • How about a 2nd-floor balcony that can be seen from the outside? My idea is that other players should not be able to access it from outside (via jumping). Only a door from the inside can be used to gain entry.

  • @ Ximenez, I posted a suggestion in the Ideas Forums about having Photo Frames, which would give a bit more value to Snapshottery.

    As for a dream house... I can't really say. I thought that I would like a 50k modern house but once I bought a 7.5k bog house I fell in love with it and now have really adapted to the bog house lifestyle of firefly-catching, crystal-making and herb-growing. So I guess I'd love bigger bog houses.

  • +1 Franthrax! You beat me then. :) And I like the idea of it being linked to Snapshottery, which would also be the way for TS to know that we only use snapshots from the game.

  • more use of the y axis: lots of tables/chairs that we can drop stuff on for decorating purposes like the firebog houses have, or ledges we can walk on like the tallish crest cave houses. display containers (kitchen, pantry, cages where cubimals can be perched). architectural nooks where icons and offerings can be placed. wall art that we can buy and mount.
