Halloween event idea's for the future:

1- the ability to buy more than 1 gift, seeing how we can either buy 1 for either pumpkins or candy. this request is not a old one and has been requested the last few halloween events,

2- new decorations part 2 - i suggested some new decorations last Q/A or so, i have come up with some new ones or some idea's for the decorations.

- the ability to stack the pumpkin lanterns on top of each other like the
tiki totem thing

- new colour candles - pink, light brown, fluro green and fluro purple

- the ability to turn off the lighting in the mansion - which in turn will active the
glow in the dark decorations like spider,witch,ghost etc
(these will only be silhouettes that glow in the dark) and can be placed on walls
and floor

- CI'S- Serpent mount (the one we fish for) head mask, and flippers for gloves
- a chucky shirt - the overalls with striped red/white shirt
- black robe shirt like death's
- Ghosbuster's overalls as shirts with ghostbuster logo on the back or
something similair

Other Questions/idea's for games:

- i changed my other accounts player name roughly a month ago roughly, and it just changed in the last week or 2-3 weeks , why so long for the change, other players have told me it took theirs a week at most,

- the ability to put a moat/waterways like creeks etc on our ranch/island perhaps

- the cloud tower - it has enough space at the top to place a gnome, could you make that space a space to place gnomes please or will it be too hard


Bartimaeus's idea for trick or treating

23 locations ...... if you done all content, we need similar system as egg hunt , would be convenient


On the thread for the recent update, the part 2 of the prismatic passage, a player named Barbzak suggested the prismatic tile ( spoilers alert) which is found in the first area of part be put in the shop to buy etc, i second this idea,

When will the Thanksgiving Event start? Because there isn't anything on Wiki saying even a possible date.

Can you change the Cacti be able to be whacked for in the new area, also, besides just the other 3 places, which one place is the Flux and since it is locked can't whack for it there anymore.

Crazy idea: A trinket that has a less gems bonus that will even affect the casino slot machines.

Or even a rune recipe that gives -gems/+gold.

Hi Nick .... is it possible to add the "Pumkin (2)" to the ranch store? It is the only "non-carved" plain pumpkin and it's not available in the store. I'd love to buy a few more for my Thanksgiving theme.

Also can you or Georgia make the "Turkey Table" rotatable? I'm limited for where I can place it.

Thanks.

On the thread for the recent update, the part 2 of the prismatic passage, a player named Barbzak suggested the prismatic tile ( spoilers alert) which is found in the first area of part be put in the shop to buy etc, i second this idea,

1) It has been suggested, yes. However, the gift for Pumpkins was originally added as an alternative to buying it for Candies.

2) Stacking jack-o-lanterns is a neat idea! As is turning off the lights. It is already dark by default unless your character is in it, or you add lit objects. And those are great custom item ideas. I'll note them down for Georgia to consider for next year.

3) The delay in a name change is just a quirk of how the Codename Games site is implemented. Apologies!

4) Moats and waterways would be very neat customizations to your ranch! I've been meaning to add that for a while now, given how some people like to use the blue tiles to paint out ponds and water areas.

5) There is a quirk with how surfaces work with Build Mode placement that might make it difficult to do this to the Cloud Tower. I'll take a look though!

6) Yes, Flybaby also suggested this to me. A list of all the locations you've trick-or-treated at, so you wouldn't have to track it yourself.

7) Oh absolutely! Apologies. The Prismatic Tile ranch item should definitely go in the Ranch Store after you unlock it.

Thanks, Russel!

The Cacti quest is part of the Cenote Site quest hub, so it is limited to the Salt Desert region and the Flux. This is intentional, as the Quest Hubs are not designed to be something you can juggle while doing the primary story content. You'll be able to continue the Cactus quest once you unlock the Flux again, or you can finish your active quest in the Salt Desert fields.

Ooh, ideas for a future Halloween Event: (I may have already suggest this first one) a mausoleum, animatronic: "Poltergeist Table" cups move back and forth on their own, Customization items: jack o'lantern sword (it's just that, a lit jack o'lantern) to accompany the headless horseman cape, and (if you take Russell's chucky outfit into consideration) a red and white striped stocking hat (Where's Waldo reference). Just suggestions.

Well, that sucks. Guess no more cacti for me. I sure wish a QOL would be a click to remove decorations in one click. I've asked for this MANY times over the last 4 or 5 yrs.

Nick did you know that we have 2 prismatic tiles by the same name? The 1ST was from the
Crystalline Cavity

I'll note these down and see if we have time for them. It would be nice to have some normal pumpkin decorations and a horizontal table for sure.

These are all great suggestions! I particularly like the Poltergeist Table idea! We'll see if Georgia gives us that one next year.

A "store all" button is still on my QoL list. I unfortunately haven't gotten around to that list yet, given the content focus lately.

Hi Nick, thanks for the new content. I've been enjoying it though I wish the puzzles had more pieces. (I'm sure I'm in a very small minority.)

Do you remember the valentine balloons with a stuffed animal inside? I think they would make great companions. I know we already have a red balloon but I think they would be fantastic visually.
