Suggestions

[genintco]

Hi everyone,

List down all your suggestions here and I'll put the ones with merit (or the ones we're already working on) in bullet points. That way, new members can come in here and check to see if their suggestions are already being considered.

Here's the list so far (the ones in bold are already being developed):

• A bank that you can get loans from, with Renown as the basis for how much money you can get.
  
• Adding features where Players can blend different varieties.
  
• Allowing bottles in the cellar to improve over time.
  
• Upgrades that quicken the cooldown of Worker Actions.
  
• A "wine catalogue" which records all the wine you've produced including all associated information.
  
• A bulk market that accepts wines which are rated 2 stars or less, but at an incredibly discounted price.
  
• A weather forecast system.
  
• Adding a time delay on the effects of Ageing and Heavy Foliage.
  
• Adding the ability to uproot existing vines so that they can be replaced with other grape varieties.

hope there will be modding support for this, not a modder myself but i can see the potential. ie. juices, jams-jellys or who knows maybe even smokeables (tobbacco or otherwise) :) :)

i know the game is based around wine, but thats what mods are for? this template your game has seems like it can really be used for a multitude of different growable crops and what they can turn into after processing.

Really neat idea! I'm completely with you on this -- we would love nothing more than a mod community creating extra content around the base game. Look, let's get past EA later this year, and we'll be sure to do our best to make it happen.

Consider it noted.

Hi Mark & Team,

Just an idea for consideration - liking the Ambient Tiles - perhaps once you reach Chateau Level 3 - you could pay to add a chalet on a Forest or Building tile (apologies I just can't bring to mind the name of the plain green tiles - it's after midnight here and Terroir doesn't run on my tablet ) as an extra revenue stream. Of course, these would incur a maintenance cost to keep running, but it might help players make some side cash to allow them to experiment with their wines more. Perhaps Chalet revenue would only work in the Spring and Summer as a method to keep it from being abused?

As I said, something you guys might already have in the works but thought it worth mentioning.

Hi guys.
Really wanted to say great work on the game. I could see this become a real timesink, in a good way.
Besides what is mentioned before in this thread, I would like you to concider adding a small stat window in the main screen for how the sales of wines is going so I don't have to go into all the menus for that.
Also a minor bug occured whem buying a tile it was stil white, but was activated.

[Whette Fhartz]

Mark,

You said you would be adding steam achievments in a few weeks, does that also come along with cards and badges ? :)

After looking at the distributor page for a long time over many in-game years, a thought occurred to me. When your distributor ratings are up to 5, you can always sell your entire bottle yield from one wine to a distributor. So why is Hougang's 5-rating bonus that you can always sell all your bottles to them? You cannot ever sell them more than one wine, as they lock out as soon as you sell them any wine just like the other distributors. The bonus for Hougang is nothing. You can sell your entire year to any distributor when relations are at 5. Perhaps I'm missing something, but you guys might need to come up with another relations bonus for them, because from where I'm sitting, they have no bonus.

Bonaggy, we've got some really good content coming your way that does the exact thing you're asking for. It's called a Tavern. We're gonna start working on it after we finish up the Bank tonight.

junglund, this is definitely worth considering. We're already introducing a feature where a notification pops up whenever a distributor is free to accept stock, but a more detailed window will really increase the quality of gameplay. As for the bug, I'm surprised to see it still there! We sorted that particular bug out a while back, but it seems it's slipped through the cracks. Would you mind sending us your save file and output_log during a game where this bug happens? It would really help us a lot. Please find the instructions for sending us the files in the sticky on this board.

I'll be honest, whette, we know we have to do cards and badges, but we're doing it kicking and screaming. The answer is yes, eventually -- but achievements will come sooner (before the end of the month). The cards and badges, you'll have to give us some time for that.

Navinod, thank you very much for pointing this out. It was an oversight -- I had forgotten that at maximum relations, the distributors already accept 100% of your available stock. We're going to have to decrease that (maybe to 75% when maxed) so that Hougang's bonus actually makes sense! But yes, you're absolutely right, as it stands, the bonus isn't a bonus at all.


Thank you all so much for the feedback -- it's on our minds!

The saving file is actually not well manage and can be annoying to me. Hope that is some features which allow us to manage our save file. Example delete existing save file rather than just overwrite it or some option to turn off Autosave.

[Muscular Oberkommando Man]

Make text bigger. I can barely see lot of description text in the game (like text describing grapes, bank features etc.) Other than that its best wine tycoon game i played so far (and only one)

[Wotoken]

When I go nuts with pesticidess the tile shows a place holder for a negative modifier that currently doesn't do anything. "Can taste pesticide." Or some similar wordage.

Don't allow me in the early game to artificially boost my seller's ratings by selling them a few bottles piecemeal.

Don't allow me to trim all the tiles of a variety to nothing but leave one with "light/optimal" foliage to try to work around the weather system. Maybe take an average of all the different tiles to determine ripeness? Or lower the cooldown/force cutting all tiles with workers to prevent this kind of scumming.

Add the option of paying through the nose short term for additional storage when I have a bumper season.

More music tracks please.

[moosc]

Have to say we need a larger font in the Land Bank. My OLD eyes just can't read it with glasses on. Please?

[berniyh]

Just realized that we are limited to planting 3 varieties.
Now I wanted to add Syrah wines to my collection and actually already purchased a sandy tile, but I can't plant & use it.

Would be great to add the possibility for a fourth grape type.

[Kayou]

First, thanks a lot for this really good game.
I had many suggestions but you already added them, nice work.

So few others:
- similar icon of disease and treatment
- some details when selling wine (total amount per months...)
- quick help button with rules of the game (distributors, renown, the tips forum page)
- progress bar of the month
- buy renown (you also add it with new item) : advertising tv, newspaper, event...
- win renown by participating contest wine show without tasting before.

The prices of aged wines are the same as the new wines. Would you change it.
sorry my bad english...
