Content/Update Wishlist!

[Catloaf]

What kind of things do you guys want to see added to the game?
For example, QoL changes, quest ideas, shops, animals you want, recipes, features, etc.

I'll go first! I have a few, cuz I've been thinking about making this thread for a while :P
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like better controls for using a mouse and keyboard! Navigating through the menus with buttons is a bit of a pain as it is. Controller support is great as it is though!

I'd love them to add more birds. Parrots could be really cute, especially if they worked in a pirate quest line by the beach.

A small animal container of some kind in the cafe, in the bedroom. Like a hamster home with a little tube trail and everything that we could customize.

I'd also like to feed all the animals treats :) We could have a pet supply store NPC added in, and we could have recipes to make treats ourselves. Maybe there could even be animals you can't get without using their special treat to lure them in.

Holidays to celebrate! It'd be super fun if we got to dress up & trick or treat for Halloween with a spooky quest line. Winter could get a secret Santa celebration!

I also want to do more with the cafe itself! It'd be awesome if we could upgrade its size & functions. Eventually get to have a patio with outdoor tables. Upgrade the kitchen, maybe even get to where you can hire more staff to help you!

It'd be cool if we could expand the brand and get a second mini shop in the big city area! Just like a little mini coffee shop corner store. Hire a cat to run the shop for you lol.

Something with fish would be super cool! Let us change the fish in the pond! Give us the option for a fish tank inside! We could catch them in rivers & ponds or the ocean. Fish dishes on the menu too, perhaps?

Furniture & toy crafting & customization could be a fun bit to add too. Add in NPC's that do your crafting, and another that sells paint kits to recolor the furniture. Or, give us something like a tool shed in the yard. A wood shop in the golden grove, even.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This game has so much potential & lots of wide open space to grow- I'm sure the devs have lots of ideas of their own planned, but maybe they'd like to see what we think too :)

This is excellent & I love all of your ideas. I am really proud of this team of developers for creating one of my all time favorite games now. I struggle with my mental health & am in love with everything this game offers. I decided to support by purchasing the game on Steam although I finished the game on the Switch already. I love all of these.. I hope they read this XD

I love the idea of more customisation at the cafe! I like the idea of being able to change the front of the cafe between different "styles" too, so when you go into an "expansion" screen, you get the option of changing between a modern, an old school looking building, maybe a cat shaped building, etc. That way you can customise how you like the place, maybe add paint and flooring options too, so it can be a personal thing for you.

I also vote for more animals, I personally turned my cafe into a dog & fox cafe lmao, but I'd love more dogs, like a shiba, a basset hound, you know, a variety of different dogs! Also owls, since they're mentioned repeatedly in game, it'd be nice for owls to show up. Hedgehogs could be cute, as could sheep for something totally out there.

Being able to do stuff with the outside of the cafe would be nice too, like adding tables and having large canopy areas, as well as maybe having a pen for the "outdoors" animals like horses and deer.

I really enjoy feeling like part of the story, and I'd love for more quests and things to take longer to unlock and require working hard and trying to get new customers, or cater for big events. I also love the idea of the city having more options, maybe some conflict when another animal cafe opens up, or something like that. Right now the city is an empty place really, and I feel it should be full of cool shops, like toy shops for animals, recipe places, other non-animal cafes where you could get inspiration, maybe even a boardwalk place with a merry-go-round, near where the big ferris wheel is.

I just feel there's so much potential in this amazing little game. The inclusivity is wonderful, and I'm sure the devs will continue to put more exciting things in the game, as well as fixing some of the glitchy moments with the animals. I'm really excited to see where it's going to go next, I have a billion ideas for cool things to add to increase playtime but I'm sure they're probably going to be added at some point anyway.

[it's a gabe]

Cool thread! Let's see here... I'm gonna comment and hopefully add to your suggestions and then add my own at the end.

1. I don't play with kb/m myself, but if you feel like it can be better, then I fully support that. Controller support needed improving at launch, btw, but they made it better rather quickly. It plays better now, but I still think they could improve the controls a bit more, especially as far as mounting and picking up animals go.

2. We definitely need more birds! I think we only have a handful of crows and pigeons, which is quite disappointing. I'd love to have a flying mount, but I'd also like it to be a more interersting kind of bird.

3. Oh, I like the sound of that! Or maybe... MAYBE we could build our own critter "course," RollerCoaster Tycoon style. The shelves at the back of the cafe's main floor are supposed to be used by the animals, which is cool. But I'd like to be able to customize that kind of stuff myself. It'd be awesome if we could build around the main floor to have animals going above the tables. I might be going way over my head with this and who knows if it'd be possible to even see where we're going, but I think it's a cool idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

4. Treats sound like a cool idea, but I do have to ask how exactly they'd factor into the gameplay flow. Maybe they could provide certain boosts?

5. Yeah, this! Kiva actually mentions some event around the beginning of the game and asks if we'd come by to celebrate with them, but it never happens. I think the main problem is that the day/night cycle is mostly cosmetic as we don't even have a functioning calendar. Not yet anyway.

6. This also.

7. I like that! I get that in the lore, the cafe being all the way out of town makes it somewhat exotic for the city folk, but having a little piece of that nearby might actually add to the cafe's appeal. This could play off better with a functioning calendar, so that some NPCs will use the city branch instead of the cafe proper cuz they're too busy to go all the way out there. But then, when they're able to make the trek, they'll go for the atmosphere and friends, etc. This could also add to the idea of expanding the cafe..

8. Oh, opportunities for fishing! Yeah, that'd be great.

9. And yes, that too.

Now to my own wishlist:

- As a paid expansion, I'd love to either see the island grow with more areas or a whole new island with just as much space as the original one. More things to do would also be great to have.

- More clothing, and more interesting patterns too. Some of the NPCs look so cool with their unique cosmetics, so I'd like it if we could make the PC just as unique with more intricate clothing.

- More short hairstyles, as currently there are too few if you want to play as a more masculine character.

- Adding to that, more options to customize our body type and maybe face shape so that the game can be more inclusive of different body types and facial features.

- The ability to save our favorite colors, as experimenting with them can make going back to previous shades a little tricky, especially when it comes to the color of our skin. Some presets could also work out well.

- And finally, I think there could be some more balancing with potions. First, I'd love to make animals such as the forest spirit sparkle. Getting there is possible, but it involves mixing and matching some potions, which is time-consuming and tricky. Adding to that, some potions go away if you reload the game. It'd be great if they persisted so we don't have to reapply them every single time we load our save.

And that's that. Really looking forward for the content updates they have planned, though I have no idea what will be included in them. But considering they want to expand upon what's already there, I'm hopeful they'll pull me back in, if only to have a look around and see what's new.

I second pretty much what has already been said by others, great ideas.

Customising the cafe rooms with paint, extending and building onto it etc would be nice. I love the fish in the pond so maybe something having an aquarium room in you cafe could be possible by discovering species of fish?

Being able to customise your character more too, and different breeds of animals (Although I know that would be a LOT to do)

I have only just discovered this game and I do love it so I don't know all the ins and outs just yet so too early for me to have a real opinion - but for the future I think these things and what others have mentioned above would give us more to do and it would feel a more personal experience :)

Excited to see what you'll do to update regardless :)

[slothgirl]

I love all the ideas that have been announced here. I would love to pitch in!

-More cafe decorations like wall paint, flooring, pictures, etc.

-More character clothing, like being able to wear some items from the NPC's

-I find that going through the menu's on PC is a little tricky (was for me at first), so maybe being able to use your mouse on it?

-Maybe having more shops for more recipes, more fashion and furniture places (maybe more categories even for fashion)

Other than these suggestions I do also agree with everyone's suggestions, and I completely understand the game is still early. I love it so much and I cannot wait for what is yet to come!!!

[Stim]

I would seriously love to romance characters. Lumi and Rosa are just too cute. A nice story line for whoever you choose (that's not already taken) would be awesome.

I would love to see more clothes as well, or at least potions like the ice cream sundae outfit. It's literally the only thing I'll ever wear when playing this now. (Very cute with the mouse tail I might add)

More quests from the townspeople, give us more heart points! I would love more quests for the Owl Club. It felt too... meh.

Upgrades to the cafe for sure. I would love to be able to design outside around the yard. I'd also really like to see an increase in size. Different rooms for different themes!

More things to do around the cafe. Maybe having to tend to the animals staying there. An example would be feeding them, bathing them, etc. It is an animal based game after all.

I'm very excited for this game's continuation. So sad I beat it already!

[Tia the cat]

can u please add a multiplayer mode so you can play with friends mabye on a team or rival cat cafes that would be so fun

[melindusty]

Honestly, being able to place outdoor seating feels like it wouldn't be too much but it would increase my enjoyment by a whole lot. You even have a table out there to start with.

[ＳＩＭＰＬＹ ＲＵＢＹ]

I would love to have the ombre hair colors that some of the characters have and more outfits. As well as the ability to buy more shops or relocate your cafe. Really hoping for more content too!

[Zimtfuchs]

i would kill to get a lynx and owls. i thought i would get one by helping maia with the heat lamp but..nothing happened.

also, have the animals at the cafe actually use the furniture more. no idea if it was just my furry fellas bugging or be very..tired, but the cats for example never used the beds, the cat highway thats pre-installed in the cafe or basically..anything really.

color picking items to actually look how i want them. i was overjoyed when i got the fox tail just to realize i cant actually adjust the color as i want it..instead it stayed orange and the tip just kinda changed.


i might not be far enough, if its even in the game, but dear god i died when i saw the mayor and her starry galaxy like arms and legs, please lemme be mayor 2.0 visually.
last but not least, dear god please let me be a half cat aswell like Autumn or have cutesy animal feet like freya

[Sh3m]

more space for animals in the cafe! i find it kind of annoying that there's a limit.

[Puppieslove211]

I don't know if this is just me, but it is extremely lagy. Is there an way to fix this?

[Satan]

I would like to see a stag, either snowy or normal colors.
I'd also want swim outfits and maybe even an NPC vendor at the beach selling either the clothes or snacks like snow cones for the player.

-multiplayer
-make the character look exactly like it does when i customize it (it seems the colors are different and she always looks worse than when i made her)
-wallpaper for cafe?
-the run looks weird, like a baby trying to run, maybe fix that?
-ability to edit/name the animals yourself
-an easier option for keyboard players, like a setting for easier controls
-the more display cases you have out, the more spaces you have to display different foods

you can actually name the pets, just need to go into the animals tab and select the name
