Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well…still nothing new in our games to speak of. In fact it’s still Valentine’s Day in Springfield. Despite the countdown clock ending just under 12 hrs ago & today being February 25th there is still no update. But that’s ok. We’ve got TONS of great posts to keep your Tapping minds and fingers fresh!
One such post hit the blog this morning and that was Wookiee’s Monorail post, truly a great read! What I love most though is it’s sparked so many of you in the comments to sound off on your opinions. Your opinion on the Monorail being added to TSTO, ideas for how it can be implemented into TSTO AND even a great debate about the best Simpsons episodes! (nice to know my fellow Tappers LOVE Homer at Bat too!) We love hearing/seeing/reading your opinions in the comments and you guys never fail to make us laugh or think! You guys truly are the BEST. READERS. EVER.
One awesome comment that really sparked my interest was this question from Tapani Kangas:
“Here is a question for all of you ‘fellow pro-tappers’
HOW MANY DONUTS WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY FOR (the) MONORAIL?
Just to be curious. Let’s just say that:
-It would come with 4h, 10h, 24h tasks.
-Would have a nice animation
-Does not include a character
-Adds a 5% overall bonus”
Between that comment and another comment on the same post from Mike:
“It would be perfect if it worked like the Squidport. Build the monorail station, tap on the station to build a new section of track every few hours, and then you could design the path/route around town any way you like.”
I’ve been thinking and I want to know YOUR opinion. Pretend for this example YOU ARE EA and you’re designing the Monorail to enter into Tapped Out. How would you do it? Would you make it a premium item? If so for how many donuts? Would you make it an expansion like Squidport? Where you have to build one piece of track at a time? But it would cost game cash? If so how long would each piece of track take? Would it be able to go around Springfield AND Krustyland? Or just one or the other? Or would you make it just a broken down Monorail, that doesn’t run. It would be some broken tracks and the station.
After that I want to know….if it does cost donuts would YOU buy it?
So put on your design hats and sound off in the comments below about what YOU would do with the Monorail if you were a game designer for EA. You know we LOVE hearing from you & can’t wait to see how creative you guys can be!
