Well in 2005 I don’t know about teens, but I do know that douchy 20 year olds had frosted tips and popped collars. Thats how you knew someone was an entitled dick.

Chicago is Chicago gone wrong!

I want to know how they’re going to handle Dale, since his voice actor died.

They also did a thing where Jimmy Carter reunited Hank and his dad while building a house.

And Bill also dated a mayor. Although I’m unclear if that’s a fictional mayor, or a real mayor in Texas. So that one may or may not count…

Oh god…Hank is going to be a trump supporter officially in canon now, isn’t he?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck…

Right. I remember playing final fantasy 7 in the 90s. I softlocked myself by being underpowered for a boss, but unable to grind.

Turned it off, and when I turned it back on 5 years later, I was in a different area. No idea when/how J got there, but clearly I went back and did SOMETHING, but now had no idea where to go, or what to do.

I’m not starting over, but also, I’m not going to figure this out.

So now we’re 20 years later, and I have no idea where that memory card even is.

Sequal idea: Same map. Same characters. New added characters. Expanded map area.

But here’s the catch. If you want to know where any given character is on a non-event day, just stalk them on that day. If you see a person is at the beach on a Tuesday at 8pm, they will ALWAYS be on the beach at 8pm on non-event Tuesdays.

What if we introduced a needs system? Lets say Marnie needs love. Well she’ll go find the mayor. But maybe she needs to shower more than she needs love. Well, now she’s going home, showering, THEN she’ll go find Lewis.

And each characters needs meters are unique. For example, Pam and Shane could have alcohol needs. But Jazmine might be aged up from age 5 to age 13. She wouldn’t have an alcohol need. But she might have a need to be hugged. In which case, she’d go find Penny.

And maybe we introduce visitors. Create like 4,000 sprite models, and have 20 visitors each day visit the town. That way, it’s not the same people visiting everyday, but there’s always some people visiting.

Maybe make more visitors on Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays, and less visitors Monday and Tuesdays.

And you could tie the games economy to the visitors. The more they spend, the more the local shops can upgrade their shop. But they get incentivized to come spend money based on what quality those shops carry. Which in turn is based on what you sell (or don’t sell) them.
