1) Interactive worlds

I would like to see global changes in the design of Teapots Worlds (perhaps something similar to VR Chat worlds)

For example, create a search system for interesting Teapots and increase the limit of the players in them, and give the ability to build such Worlds to Content Creators. Spice it up with an increase in the load limit and a lot of interactive items - and everything will be perfect.

The ability to create such worlds can also be included in a paid subscription to justify the excessive load on the servers and increase the quality of such Worlds.

2) Load limit

The load limit situation is simple. It is necessary either to increase the load limits, or to optimize the load of the objects themselves. The impossibility of building on a large scale is very depressing

3) Interactive furniture items

3.1 Observation decks

Observation decks would help to make time-lapses, view locations from a bird's eye view and do other interesting things.

Perhaps such a platform can be in the form of a balloon or a flying Ray, which will play the role of a flying camera or an observation deck.

3.2 Sea battle

It would be nice to give the opportunity to summon Waverider in the Teapot, as well as arrange fights between the summoned Waveriders. This can be a lot of fun and not too hard to implement

Pros:

  • Easy to implement
  • Brings a lot of fun
  • New gaming experience

3.3 Tic-tac-toe

Tic-tac-toe can be a friendly competition that will dilute the gatherings. Easy to implement, everyone is happy

Pros:

  • Small interactive item for fun
  • Easy to implement

Disadvantages:

  • Get bored quickly
  • There may be problems with the activation of plates by pressing

3.4 Target dummy (Training dummy)

The game lacks a conditional customizable damage test dummy. Why not install it in Teapot? This will help in shooting videos, compiling guides and testing damage without the eternal problem of finding a dummy and waiting for bosses to respawn.

You need to be able to change this in the settings:

  • Number of opponents
  • Types and level of opponents
  • Timer for killing monsters

3.5 Add checkpoints in races

In the "Leisure Device: Rhythmic Sprinter" item, checkpoints should be added that the player needs to pass through before reaching the finish line (configurable number from 0 to 5 or more)

3.6 Windtrace

Perhaps you should add Windtrace to the Teapot. As a recurring event or as a permanent content in the form of a special mode in the Teapot.

Additionally:

  • Windtrace should be limited to one island per game

4) Furnitures for construction

4.1 More furnitures!

The Teapot is missing many game objects from Enkanomiya, Dragonspire, Chasm. Some of them are added to the teapot store over time, but we still haven’t received anything from the Dragonspire.
I would like to see items from the event with the construction of dungeons, this would make it possible to implement a lot of fresh ideas in the teapot.

Examples:

There are also no chests, Seelie houses, bonfires and other items.

5) Changes in the construction process

5.1 Presets in realm

In the Realm, I would like to change the landscape, but this is too difficult to implement. Therefore, you can use an already applied feature with a change in the parts of the subject, as was the case with flowers or snowmen.

Examples:

1) Bridge between islands

2) Streams

3) Waterfalls in the Emerald Peak

6) Construction system

6.1 Changing the building system

The possibility of clipping objects without the use of bugs is not provided. It is possible to use a mode similar to the building mode in the event with dungeons instead of the current building system (without restrictions on clipping and floating objects)

Pros:

  • More building options
  • No need to spend time on additional manipulations to arrange item-to-item and place them in the air
  • More accurate item placement

Disadvantages:

  • Characters and interactive items will have to use the old placement system

6.2 Adding precise coordinates to objects

Pros:

  • Simplification of teapot guides
  • Full player control over construction

Disadvantages:

  • Difficult to fit into UI
  • Models need to be redone

7) New Realms

The seventh point is more of a tip than a really helpful change! Just my personal opinion!

7.1 Introduction

Realms are places where you can and should turn on the imagination and create inspiring landscapes. For developers, this is an opportunity to embody ideas that cannot be implemented in ordinary life, but in a fictional world, you can come up with anything you want! Impossible landscapes, beautiful locations that nature and other ideas could not create. The teapot is just the place where you need to show everything that you are capable of in level design.

7.2 Underground Realm

An Underground Realm similar to the Chasm would have pleased a lot of players. The intricate networks of caves with local flora and fauna are a mesmerizing sight that would encourage many to be creative in Teapot

7.3 Change the appearance Tubby and the Realms

Before Christmas, the Cool Isle could be temporarily changed. Add white grass, remove palm trees and make it as festive as possible. Changing the map for 2-3 weeks of holidays would give a lot of new buildings and content (as an example, you can look at GTA 5 Online, which uses a similar system)

Also, for the holidays, you can temporarily change the skin of Tubby

Concept art for:

  • Christmas
  • Chinese New Year

8) Resources and Battle Pass

8.1 Additional Resources

Many players are not too interested in building, but small tasks to get additional resources in the Teapot would make players visit it more often.

For example:

  • Meat farm
  • Sunsettia Farm
  • Berry farm

Pros:

  • The player will be motivated to constantly enter the teapot
  • Small rewards won't break the economy, but players will be involved

8.2 Missions in the battle pass

You can enter additional Battle Pass missions, random for each player and easy to complete.

For example:

  • Visit the Teapot of the three players
  • Play tic-tac-toe with a friend
  • Win a sea battle 3 times

Pros:

  • Can force players to build and use interactive items
  • Random assignments will not let you get bored

9) Realm Settings

9.1 Complete Teapot settings

Needed for a wide variety of Realms

Additionally:

  • Ability to stop the change of day and night in the settings
  • Ability to change the weather in the settings

Pros:

  • There will be a great uniqueness of the teapot
  • All settings in one place

10) Player Ideas

10.1 Own furniture blueprints

Creating your own sets and then saving them in your inventory will help you quickly transfer buildings from one Realm to another. This will allow you to easily remove old buildings without fear of losing them forever, thereby freeing up space for new buildings.

Additionally:

  • The player must name the blueprint himself

Pros:

  • Convenience
  • When cleaning the Realm, the blueprint is easy to restore

Disadvantages:

  • Difficult to fit into UI

10.2 Furniture search by name

With each update, it's getting harder to find the right items in the list. Searching for items by name is required.

Pros:

  • Convenience
  • Time saving

10.3 Entrance to the Realm without adding friends

The player must be able to allow anyone to enter his Realm.

It will be useful:

  • To players in the search for new ideas and Realms
  • To quickly visit the sights of other players
  • It is easier for streamers to evaluate players' Teapots
  • Easier to arrange events in teapots

Pros:

  • Making life easier for all players
  • No need to replenish the list of friends in the game

10.4 Layout Editor

Allows you to copy and save different variations of the Realm. An example is a similar system in Clash of Clans.

Pros:

  • There is space for creativity and experimentation

Disadvantages:

  • Virtually no need to create your own furniture blueprints
  • The spent memory on the Realms increases by ~3 times (on the server side)
