Option to toggle/limit the maximum allowed volume of condo sound emitters, because š˜“š˜°š˜®š˜¦ unnamed individuals think itā€™s reeeal funny to rupture other peoples eardrums with hundreds of explosion and alarm noisesā€¦

Also, a trust system (similar to the custom canvases) for sound emitters would be useful, but probably too much of a hassle to implement, and likely to be quite underused. Tho I do hope trust system becomes a thing for workshop sound packs whenever that gets added.

Any word yet on if weā€™re going to see any of these suggestions added? I havenā€™t seen any in the patch notes for ages. I especially really need a toggle crouch and toggle inventory option, surely those arenā€™t too complicated to add, rightā€¦?

toggle sprint would be good too. i donā€™t personally need it but you hold down sprint all the time in this game and i imagine it would be really irritating to someone with a neurological issue or something like arthritis where holding down a button for a long time can cause pain.

please perhaps consider adding a filter or option in the settings to change the liquor bottles into something not-alcohol related during booze bash xd thank you for coming to my AA meeting

A toggleable auto fire would also help in mini games such as Gingerbread Smash.
Like you said, it wouldnā€™t be as fast or a bit slower to keep it fair but would save peopleā€™s fingers for sure.

Great news; this is included in next update :slight_smile:

That asides; Iā€™d love toggleable aim with things like sniper guns, SNDL, all that stuff. Thatā€™d be very helpful for laptop / trackpad players

I have a few friends who canā€™t play Zombie Massacre because the final boss is always a giant spider, and they have arachnophobia. Perhaps replacing the model, or having an option to make it less realistic? Though I suppose the realism is part of ZM too

Hi there I kinda want a basic feature for playlist media player. Can you add a shuffle feature to playlist? I want to make condo with a randomized playlist of music

I still donā€™t know why shuffling or playing random video from playlist via I/O or something like that isnā€™t already possible but this absolutely needs to be a thing.

an option to turn off and/or replace flashing lights throughout the plaza!

bright, flashing lights and rainbows trigger severe migraine and nausea episodes for me and itā€™s very disappointing having to push through the pain of migraines, making myself incredibly sick in the process, or avoid playing most the game with how prevalent flashing, pulsing, and bright lights are. an option to replace these lights with still, solid textures or even just stationary lights would make the game a much better, safer experience for photosensitive players like myself!

several buildings (fountain, casino, arcade) and attractions (ferris wheel, bumper cars, minigames) around the plaza have flashing lights to varying degrees. the majority of them very quickly trigger my migraine episodes, which is sad because i really love the game and the atmosphere, but i like to play the game without being in pain or feeling sick

the arcade in particular is a hotspot for photosensitivity triggers. literally everything except for the floor flashes in some way or another, and itā€™s very frustrating not being able to interact much with any of the games. so many machines in the arcade have such awful flashing that i canā€™t even look at them for more than a few seconds without getting sick. tornado, wheel of fortune, ring god, super hoopers, mind tester, meteroid mania, gears of coin, dizzy, mas fuerte 2k, the offering, coin river, and starfield lanes all have very bad flashing or pulsing lights when youā€™re not even playing them. even the token machine flashes every time tokens are bought :frowning:

i understand the atmosphere of the arcade might be difficult to maintain with less flashing lights, but it really detracts from my ability to play and enjoy the arcade games, as i canā€™t even enter the arcade without it being detrimental to my health. i would really like to play the game for longer than i can now, and i would especially like to play without getting sick every time. completely removing any and all flashing lights is a tedious task and may take away from the design of the plaza, and adding an option to replace so many textures would be equally as tedious, but it is seriously difficult to navigate the plaza without finding any flashing, pulsing, or otherwise moving, bright lights

additionally, in bowling, the flashing lights on the side of the lane and the lights that move up and down the lane when getting a strike is a problem for me. iā€™d personally find the sides lighting up a solid color that doesnā€™t flash for the same duration as they light up now to be a more photosensitive-friendly option. i donā€™t know if removing the horizontal light would be best for us players, or possibly adding an option in the settings to toggle it off and on, but somehow lessening those lights would be a nice change

the text prompts for moving the mouse during bowling also flash quickly, and although itā€™s not as bad as the rainbow lights, it is still noticeably triggering. having the prompts maintain their opacity but not flash might be a better option made available for photosensitive players, and would still catch the attention of non-photosensitive players when they pop up

there are more spots that are troubling, like the casino. there are flashing lights on the walls outside of the building around all of the doors. when you enter, the lights at the top, middle, and bottom of the walls are flashing rainbow colors and pulsing. replacing them with or having an option to toggle all of the lights to a solid color or still texture would be really helpful. also, the screens on the sides of the inner entrance to the nightclub are incredibly bright, and transfer through the whole rainbow. the flashing, waving, pulsing lights in the nightclub itself are the most triggering lights out of the entire plaza.

i have no experience in game development, so i donā€™t know what the best or easiest option would be for reducing the flashing, pulsing, bright, rainbow lights in the plaza. i donā€™t believe that totally replacing them is the only option, but i donā€™t have any other ideas at the moment aside from adding a toggle for them. iā€™m sure there are players that enjoy the flashing lights and would miss them if they were gone, and there are other players who need some of the flashing lights in order to see and interact with the environment. thank you for all of the effort and love put into the game, and thank you for your consideration!!

hey this might be a me thing but the new profile backgrounds make it especially hard to read any text and also makes me quite ill trying to look at it

if there could be an option to disable those in the menu that would be amazing otherwise perhaps just a setting to stop the animation of them though that wont fix the text being hard to read

i love the profile backgrounds but i do agree; it is difficult to read texts especially on bright/pastel backgrounds like this one:

Black outlines for location text would be helpful :slight_smile:

Speaking of hurting eyes, the blood cloud accessory lighting flashing is really painful to look at, especially in small spaces!

Hey now that the scoreboards are different, is there no longer a way to see who im friends with other than the name colour outside of the board?

Option to mute or lower jetpack sounds. The constant hissing gets pretty annoying after a while, especially when a bunch of players are flying around. It also makes it harder to hear voice chat.
