Oh awesome, I'm glad it helped a bit in the meantime and I'm glad you're still having fun in the other bits! I'll hopefully be able to get some changes done before the next update so if there's anything specific you want to request there let me know. Eg is it that you want to be able to place closer to walls? Or prefer a different placement mechanic like a decoration mode?
No promises that I'll be able to implement something massive before the next update because placement things require a lot of testing before I can release them but the more information I have about what people prefer/dislike the easier it is for me to triage what needs to be done and get fixes up! <3
Just you hearing me out and saying you're working on it is really promising, you're doing great work! The only thing specific i would say is yes, moving closer to the walls would be great! There is one bug, specificlly in the right room in the 1 2 and 3 bedroom around the middle of the back wall. Anything you try to place there (for me its usually a kitchen appliance) will either be super far away from the wall and wont align with any of the other items, or it jumps "on top" of the others, where it looks like the bottom of the item is aligned with the windows. Its pretty consistent, and only happens in that one area.
No worries at all! I’m definitely up for it :D If it’s consistent across apartments, the middle of the back wall thing sounds like maybe there’s a stray collision from an invisible controller, I’ll add to my bugs list for this week. Is this in a specific building ( eg. are all the apartments you’ve tried in like Cedar Court?) or across different the buildings?
Decoration mode definitely requires a lot of extra planning so I’m aiming for better regular placement first. Moving things without the hammer would be awesome too but it’s a little tricky because of the way the interactions work right now, eg. I’d need to assign a different button press so you can differentiate between opening the fridge and moving it but all of the default buttons are already listening for things. Would it be helpful or annoying if when placing furniture it automatically locked you to a slower speed? Or maybe a hold to grab and drag like older Animal Crossings would be better?
I suuuuper get you on the inventory access too, I’ve been trying to figure out the best ways to do it in the UI because it needs to track where the item is stored add/remove properly when you use something but I do think it is do-able. I’ll bump it up the list so maybe in 2.0.0.M!
Give me a little bit to think about it and I’ll see what I can do :D
And a decoration mode would be so awesome, but i'm sure that requires a lot technically! No rush on that AT ALL. It would be cool to just be able to select and move things without the hammer! Just place down the items and switch to decor mode and freely move whatever we have put down. Also if we could have free access to our refrigerator inventory from our cooking pot and clothes in our wardrobe from the mirror, my life would be actually perfect.
