  • Good catch. The upgrades are intriguing. It seems like we might be losing "levels" altogether, but I don't know if that's true or not. I kind of like the fine grained control. It's weird, but all these changes kind of make me think I might like a reset. It seems like it may be a very different experience growing up as a glitch under imagination.

  • You can always create another account and play the game again from the beginning that way.

  • Yeah, I know, but I got this strange enjoyment out of the forced resets. I'm strange.

  • Great find! It looks like there is an element of luck to the selection of character upgrades; instead of being able to choose from any you are only presented with 3 cards at a time with an optional to re-deal once per day (hopefully game day).

    The animals helping increase mood seems like an awesome idea (if this is what that card meant).

  • Note that there are two new skills pictured:  "Construction" and "Cookery" - although perhaps "Cookery" is just "Cheffery" re-named.

  • Yes! I saw that today, too.  Glad you made a thread about it.

  • Looking at this it seems like it will be a lot more small screen friendly. Can't wait!!! And to think I was going to stop playing for a while.....

  • As per the blog post: "your level will be transposed to the corresponding level in the new system; and more, which we’ll explain at that time)."

    And stoot's post: "SeerQueen: neither (there still will be levels and you won't be starting from level 1). We're "compressing" the levels a bit, so the amount of effort it takes to get to level 60 currently will now take you to level 40 instead. So, everyone's level will appear to go down (it will be a lower number) but it is transposing it to the equivalent position in the new system"

    Soo... levels aren't going away.

     Yeah, I thought that was what they had said, but the energy upgrade threw me off. It seems like what is dependent on levels now (more energy, more mood) will be upgrades which, from this totally-speculating-with-no-real-information perspective, seems to make a "level" a little bit arbitrary.

  • Note that there are still Currants in that interface (lower left)

  • From reading the blog post, does it sound like we won't get the imagination until next week?
    Posted 8 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That looks awesome! Can't wait for Upgrades for Energy. (I'll get 1,000,000 Energy and grind everyday. =) )

  • @Hburger thanks! I hadn't really watched the video ( I jumped right into using R2).  
    @Tibbi, thanks for the pointer to yesterday's blog update. Both things are super-informative.

  • I really like the new look!
     Is it wrong that i will miss my Rock, though? It's like I will be doing everything with out him (or her...not too sure how to identify the Rock)!

  • Whoa.  Thanks for posting, Hburger!  And I agree, I think it might be time for me to start another account so I can experience this revamp from scratch!  That said, definitely not hoping for an entire reset. ;P

  • 1. Levels will still exist, but will (mostly) just be a counter of how much imagination you've earned over the course of play.

    2. Things like the quoin multiplier and energy tank size which used to be determined by your level will now be a la carte upgrades, so you can choose how to specialize.

    3. The upgrade sign on your home street is really just a placeholder … that will be the new home of your magic rock.

  • Did I imagine reading this, that the Rock (in the ground) will also be our new mailbox?  I'm known for my imagination. :)

  • Will we lose levels if we spend too much imagination? Inquiring drunkards must know!
    Posted 8 months ago by MarbhDamhsa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • MarbhDamhsa, the new level system is based on your lifetime imagination points, so you won't be losing any levels.

  • Marbh, as Stewie said:

  • Its not a rock, its a potato.  It lies.

  • Ok so is this going to be 3/4 of the screen or how is it going to look with the chat windows ??

  • Wow. The game screen looks odd without the magic rock sitting at the top...

    And there's no map in the upper right! O.o Or maybe it just goes away when you open a window.

    It looks beautiful. :D

  • Wow, blown away by this capture of the new UI :) I really like the direction we're heading!

  • Nice video...really liked whoever did the narration this time...great voice...yea!  :D  (and I loved the 'unique-ify' it...terminology)

    Poor rock sitting by my door...I will miss him and his snarky style...but I guess a pet rock is something to be cherished ;)

    Interesting U/I...look forward to trying it out...bummed we'll have to wait a bit longer, but as I have said before, rather have it right than now...(though I always think right now would be great...lol)

    Definitely appreciate the update with the approximate timelines.  I was prepping for an imagination update this week, so good to hear it will be later this month - will give us more time to break things in this past massive update.  Also good to know that the housing reset will follow it and not be at the same time.  Appreciate the clarification of that!! :)

  • "Did I imagine reading this, that the Rock (in the ground) will also be our new mailbox?"

    You sort-of imagined it. Mailboxes in your home street will be handled by something else that we're working on.

    Posted 8 months ago by ShadowOfThingsLost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, no , like the new outlook... but I don't liek the new energy/metabolics area! Or the loaction part! Can we please keep the outlay outside area thing? And the screen for what we have the rock for now (quests, skills, upgrade) is cool, but it looks so glitchy! Childish! I guess I could survive with that, but not the energy bar and location area, please no!

  • I never liked the rock.  He was all "kid" this, and "kid" that.  If he's in the ground by my door I'm going to imagine my glitch taking a wizz on his little head every home visit. 
    Posted 8 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • so wait- the rock will be sorta in ground ( i recall that) - will that be the front yard or the backyard ?
    everything looks interesting . ;)
    also _ I see the magic rock is on part of the screens in the video..so it seems like maybe it's only missing when in cultivate mode ..or else i am crazy and not understanding what you guys mean when you say the rock is missing ...?..O-O
    new mailbox option for home streets .. sounds interesting ..maybe thats our robotic helper .. or the super-gnome ..?? .. . :D

  • Serenitycat, almost all of the video is in the version of the game we have now: the "new UI" is only shown at the last moment when he says "more changes are coming soon".
