Island Reflections

[Jojoya]

The landmarks could be a place to RP. I personally love the tree house and it could be a nice dating spot with my partner.
But then you have the mammets...

This comment explained a lot for me. SE obviously wants to discourage ERP in the Hideaway.

I sincerely hope in the next update to IS that we can build a place that will be an actual home for the WoL (even if it can't be decorated housing style) and mammets will be prohibited.

I also wonder how the JP player base is getting along with the plethora of mammets. It will help if many of them have the same complaint.

If you think an audience/being watched will stop people from ERPing...lmao. Highly encourage you to do some research on the term Exhibitionist in the fetish sense.

This is just from quick lurking on JP forums from highly upvoted comments using translator, take it with grain of salt:

Seems like JP is onboard with too much mammets, no feeling of inhabited island and lack of customization. They also expected more casual and relaxed atmosphere instead of factory/management simulator, even though many like the management simulator.

There are also suggestions for:
- more active minigames like fishing or cooking (fishing specifically is mentioned frequently)
- possibly some RNG elements when gathering
- weather forecaster
- color coded node marks and other small QoL changes
- more uses of green cowries, including conversion of cowries
- customization in general (dyes, rotate buildings, stairs for windmills)
- personal house dedicated to player, not just weird shop with bed
- change orchestrion on the move
- sprint on/off
- gather materials when you're on friend's island
- retainer bell
- improvements for controllers

They seem to also talk about caves under island, which would be logical new expansion to the island. Some would prefer if areas of the island could be unlocked later, instead of being able to go anywhere from the start (with few areas that you can reach only with flight).
