The “Barcode Scanner” item appears as “Baode Scanner” in your inventory (tooltips are fine), probably due to it trying to cut “RC” out of the name (like how “RC Car” just becomes “Car”).

in Virus, the regular Handgun has 12 bullets in its magazine and 36 bullets in reserve.
36 / 12 = 3.
For some reason, the Sci-Fi Handgun has 12 bullets in its magazine, but 40 bullets in reserve.
40 / 12 = 3.333…
The Sci-Fi Handgun is the ONLY weapon in Virus that doesn’t return an integer when dividing its reserve by the magazine (Besides the Crossbow and TNT, they don’t have any reserve ammo).
Tommy Gun? 120 / 60 = 2.
Plasma Autorifle? 75 / 25 = 3.
Double Barrel? 24 / 2 = 12.
Silencer? 72 / 36 = 2.
Sonic Shotgun? 36 / 6 = 6.
Flak Hand Cannon? 3 / 1 = 3.
Sci-Fi Handgun? 40 / 12 = 3.333333…
Why? Why does it have 4 more bullets than the Handgun? What’s the point?

Another nitpick, resetting your condo doesn’t reset the surfaces back to the original surface.

That’s been a long standing bug that I’m looking into soon.

Several of the heart items added in 0.8.9.0 are slightly offset from what their item position is.

I’ve held my peace on this for a while but I think I need to finally say it. The tie looks TERRIBLE.

It’s too short, it sticks out at a weird angle on most models, and the color makes it look like it isn’t even textured. I remember thinking back when it was first added that it was probably just a place holder and would look way better in the future, and yet here we are. Please for the love of god update it, or add more ties with different colors and lengths and stuff

General suggestions and bugbears that I have come across in the course of my play, some of them probably need a thread of their own

Edit: Typos, rewording, additional suggestions

Chat/Input

  • Sometimes, attempting to use voice chat will kill all in-game audio, necessitating a full game restart
  • Someone winning a casino jackpot spams the global chat with the same message 3 times

HUD

  • Plaza/Condo Player List: The button to quickly change to a workshop player model that another player is using has been removed
  • Plaza/Condo Status: The white text for the default HUD could use a drop shadow as it is difficult to read in bright conditions such as during broad daylight in the Plaza exterior

Plaza

  • Add an achievement for pressing ‘The Button’ in the hidden room at the back of Laser Tag
  • Lazy River/Pools: Difficult to get out of without a Jetpack
  • Entering Outdoor Art Exhibit area triggers Central Circuit NPC dialogue
  • Lobby Building: Building to the immediate right upon exiting the subway station has solid black walls in place of doors
  • Lobby Building: Walking in to the wall between elevator doors to Tower Condos teleports you a few steps back
  • Lobby Building: The names on the gold plaques are difficult to read against the in-game glare
  • Lobby Building: The larger central fountain appears to be more translucent than the smaller fountains dotted around it
  • Theatre Facade: I have only seen the preview screens on the Plaza-facing exterior facade function on a single occasion
  • Implement the same weather cycle as used in Condos
  • Sometimes the lighting and shadows can look off in the Plaza exterior and can only be fixed with a game restart
  • Seasonal NPCs give away a broader selection of items
  • Make King Arthritis a Halloween-themed Seasonal NPC

Typing Derby

  • Typing a trailing space at the end of the paragraph is required to finish the race

Plane Wars

  • Inconsistent hit reg
  • Needs tighter, more responsive controls
  • Needs better crosshair/aiming to encourage players to lead their target

Booze Bash/Fruit Frenzy

  • Spotty collision detection immediately after boosting during mid-jump
  • Use of potions affects jump height, though not sure if intentional. However, it is a pain to keep having to remove eg. Large Potion before joining the game
  • A fence or similar barrier could be used to prevent players from unintentionally boosting out of the arena during mid-jump
  • Booze/Fruit hitboxes could be a little bigger

Chainsaw Deathmatch

  • Inconsistent hit reg
  • The elevated areas either side of the arena could be provided for spectators
  • Dying prematurely

Virus

  • Discourage or punish camping
  • Automatic enrage buff for a lone infected after a fixed duration
  • Buff health and movement speed a little more for lone enraged infected
  • Balanced and deterministic weapon distribution for survivors, it is difficult, frustrating, and punishing for a lone infected to penetrate survivors’ line of defence to order infect a single player if all of the survivors are packing Flak Hand Cannons, Plasma Auto Rifles, and other overpowered weapons while huddling together - in light of this, consider a limited pool of OP weapons that scales with server player count

Items

  • Painkillers: Has no function, was expecting this to negate the effects of potions, or drunkenness
  • Monitor: Could be dual purpose, either to act as a canvas to display a static image or to be used as a media player
  • Miniature Ferris Wheel: Does not scale at the same ratio as the original Plaza ferris wheel
  • Player Glow: Remains unfinished
  • Potions: Don’t always take effect when equipping them or removing them
  • Stealth Box: Weapon-type items equipped on the hot bar are still visible to other players when crouching. All weapon-type items need to be removed from hot bars before it is possible to become completely invisible

Bowling

  • Crouch-spamming and attempting to walk while throwing a ball down the lane can make it appear for others that your player model clips out of bounds in to other lanes, and can potentially disrupt games in progress for other players on other lanes

Arcade

  • Asteroid Belt: Some items on display are implied to be available for purchase when they are not (eg. Blazor Scooter), though I’m sure you have plans for this
  • Dizzy Leaderboard: Ranking should be calculated based on who has won the most jackpots in the week as opposed to who has won the largest jackpot from any one machine for that week
  • Bug Bytes: Active moles will sometimes suddenly change from blue to red or visa-versa
  • Whirl-A-Fish: Attempting to win the maximum jackpot of 999 is pointless when you need only play 2 perfect games of Avalanche; which can be done in less than a minute

Condos

  • Item List: Viewing it causes lag for everyone
  • Item List: Needs a search function

Casino

  • Spin to Win: The Bubble gun is really the only thing worth winning. All other rare or high-value prizes are big ticket items that can be easily purchased with Units elsewhere, or can be won from Silver/Gold Catsacks
  • Jetpack is required to access upstairs high stakes poker room, though not sure if this is intentional

The Golf Diorama hits the golf ball with the same amount of force no matter what the size of the diorama is. At 4x size, it won’t have enough force to go over, and at 0.5x, it will ramp over the diorama with too much force.

Can also add on that Little Birde Feeders lets you throw an extra ball if you are fast enough, which is how people get 4500 on the leaderboards. It only counts sometimes, which is the annoying part.

This one’s bugged me for a while. The arcade doesn’t have the little enterable logo thing unlike other enterable buildings (and Upgrade store).


The logo thing I’m talking about.

It’s been here forever since its release in TU, but these panels on level 5 of Memories are rotated the wrong way.
