Does anyone feel daily theme is......too much?

[Shaadowbear]

Actually I mentioned this in comments before the game was released that I personally prefer a "weekly" theme rather than "daily".

It usually takes me 2 or 3 days to build a project (approximately 2 hours building everyday) because I tend to go back editing things and adding more details. So I have a strong feeling that this event is too fast paced right now.

Plus, weekly theme also means less work for the devs. Imagine trying to come up with 365 themes...every year. I am assuming they are already very busy with all these new feature requests? Maybe this could make their life easier?

Anyways, I am curious if anyone else here feels the same or is it just me being a really slow builder...?

As someone who's tried to build the daily theme daily: it depends on what the theme is for that day. The past few days I've spent pretty much the whole day on just geometry and moving trees. But there's been some days (namely the ones i haven't posted to the daily theme thread) that didn't actually inspire me so much and i spent less time on.

But i have that time in my day to do so when i am inspired and many people only have a few hours at most of free time due to working, school, etc which definitely doesn't seem like enough time for a truly passionate and inspired build.

No one is forcing you to do every daily challenge... it's there for people who want a random idea. You can make what you like

I understand that. just saying it's kinda frustrating for people who want to do so but don't have enough time to. that's why I wish more time could be given. and it would do no harm to people who need random ideas?

it'd be great if they use AI, but just by looking at the preset maps so far, I think it's done by human.

Why not look at it from another perspective - what about the casual builder who pops in a few times a week and would like to see a different prompt each time just to get some inspiration? It would benefit people more to have this daily than weekly. How is this even a real issue for you?

Also coming up with ideas doesn't take long. An hour of brainstorming for a couple hundred ideas that can cycle in future.

it's bothering me because of what you said, different perspective. Like I said, I'm not demanding the change, just curious if there are similar opinions cuz I remember seeing other comments bringing up weekly challenge.
