Saddest part is it really looked like they were laying the groundwork for genuine instanced housing. We got an enormous instanced front yard. There were housing frameworks in the system. And then they just stopped, lmao.
They were never going to turn it into instanced housing or anything remotely close. There's a reason all the buildings have very specific spots and only after two full years are getting the option to turn them 180 degrees. They want everything relatively static because it's significantly easier on server strain. Unfortunately, they thought for whatever reason making a sweatshop out of our "island paradise" would somehow excite players. Which has completely backfired. So they're abandoning ship and trying again with another form of lifestyle content. Can't say I'm entirely optimistic given Island Sanctuary was inspired by the dev team playing a lot of Animal Crossing. How they landed on what we got from Animal Crossing remains baffling to me.
