I opened my Condo for the first time recently, and actually made some nice friends off of it. I was very pleased, but I wished there was more I could do to interest the surprising amount of people who joined, but left fairly shortly after. It was fun seeing them look around the home I had designed, but it didn’t keep them for very long.
My new friends and I talked about this for a little while, and thought about how certain games would be a good way to interest people. From the beach-front Condo, we thought about how neat an interactive Ping-Pong table would be. I thought a box of Lawn Darts you could aim at a holographic target once you began playing would be especially interesting, and we were sure there would be people interesting in playing a game of Pool as well.
I’ve also seen something about a game of Connect Four coming from the Arcade later on, I would actually really love this as well.
Arcade-themed “Skins” of these games would be really fun as well, with basic versions being sold elsewhere. The Toy Stop would be a wonderful place to get these things!
An additional thought I had was to have obtainable treasures to place around your Condo. The Treasure Chests and Quarters and Piles of Units, Lucky Slot Machines, I would like it if other people could ‘claim’ a set amount per Condo without consuming the items they find. Let’s say that there would be a hard limit of five total ‘Treasure’ items an individual can claim, all giving similar small ranges of Units regardless of the size of the Treasure.
People could put big piles of treasure right where somebody would spawn as courtesy, make a vault farther into the house for people to find, scatter treasure all around to promote exploration. I would really like to see what people do with this!
