Balance suggestion: For the scenery, it could be possible to have a "cohesion level" and a "repetition level" so that putting the same plant gives diminishing rewards and so that you cant just slap together random bits of scenery and calling it a day. So winter themed stuff would have a higher "cohesion level" than if you mixed ice and desert themed stuff. This could be in the form of a score multiplier, so high cohesion would give a high multiplier, and a repetition would give a multiplier

[@somedude6833]

Also make it so concentrated areas of props have a lower effect on the scenery rating. This could be done to avoid players placing every possible prop in one big square in a corner, but so it still allows a player to place similar props together.

[@MikyleY]

that is actually kinda genius

[@lonergothonline]

and y'know, limit the amount of props per region of the map, so you can't just go from version 1 to 5 in the first region with just an auto clicker and one type of prop selected. maybe make the limit high, but not infinite. maybe have a soft limit and a hard limit, in case someone wants to actually spend time designing something nice, but would go over the limit to do so, the hard limit would be tied to servers and nodes and the soft limit would be where diminishing returns start occurring, where nothing new in one region would affect version number or prettiness.

Maplestory actually did used to have a quest you had to spend real money to complete. When the 'Mercedes' class was first released, you needed an item called 'unicorn food' to get her storyline mount. It had to be purchased for $10 in the cash shop. And it was an actual quest you get in-game money and xp for. They have since changed it so that you can complete it with 10mil in-game currency instead, but this video reminded me of it.

"He's killed so many penguins and chickens, he's probably on some kind of watch list." Beware this man: there have been many deaths of chickens and penguins lately, this man may be involved. Foul play is suspected. His potential involvement in the deaths of of so many flightless birds has caused him to be placed on the no-fly list.

The lack of gambling loot boxes or any sort of cash shop in this game, made it totally unbelievable and very unrealistic game. Maybe if you release 20 DLCs and patch in the gambling, i might take you seriously, i might even become one of the crowdfund backers that you DON'T have to repay, or even give a product too :D
