I guess what I would like to see is a bigger Island. Then they could have more puzzles, like the builders building the daycare someone else suggested. As well they could have other fruits that grow on the trees, as you advance and maybe have the the the researchers do more research of plants, animals and trees for tech. points as they grow. Also the ladies clothes maybe something like a swimsuit for the fisherman,or women.

In VV2, I have twice left the game paused (when I knew I would be away for quite a while) and came back to an island event. The problem is that once I respond to the island event, the game acts like it was not paused between when the event popped up and when I returned. So the fire went out, and I had to clean up the village after leaving it unattended for multiple hours.
I put the game on Pause to avoid this!

I don't mind that the events pop up during pause, I just wish they didn't unpause the game... lady_geek

Every idea i have read is awesome... i only got to page 8.. my eyes hurt!
My suggestions thus far:
- Being able to select multiple villagers at once would be AWESOME!
- I wonder if it would be possible to add more detail to the graphics, so you could make the villagers have more distinctive features, and differ more from one another.
- Families! it would be great to be able to develop a family unit, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters. Perhaps we could add a family tree screen we can reference when decideing on new matches. Sometimes it weirds me out to think that mothers and sons, and brothers and sisters are having children with eachother because I can't remember who their parents were!
-Keep making awesome games!! YAY!

"stops to playa game of tag (I have several dads who do this with the children"

You have adult males that do this?? WOW!! How does that happen? I am always amused to see the children chasing around the screen playing "tag," but I have not, as yet, seen any adults joining in.

Another suggestion I have here is it would be good to have the task of "watering crops" to count for something. Like, perhaps it could shorten the time in which the crops appear again...make them grow faster. It just seems to be a very useless function at this point.

Hi Everyone! I agree mostly about the mothers taking "time-off" but I've had them go on to become masters in a quick amount of time after in VV2 A few things bother me in this game...The sound the kids make when you pick them up. they always sound annoyed.. (Hey)! I would like them to giggle a little when you pick them up, or something a little more pleasant sounding.
I'll post more at a later time. gotta get back now, and make a stew. PS I found one that completely restores them HooHaa!!!
Tuse

I like that you can refence parents when the kids are young,,, wish the screen would display info when they grow. I like you family tree idea!!!

Yeah, but that only takes you to certain spots - you can't scroll around as you desire. I really wanted to use arrow keys (or, even better, regular mouse-scrolling, without the click-and-drag), but the numberpad keys are useless for what I want.

I agree. And the memorial wall mentioned on the VV2 forum, so that all deaths are recorded (so far in VV2, I've only had one death, so forgive me if we have something like this already and I don't know it).

I don't think kids should pick up mushrooms or collectibles on their own - it's the only thing we users have to do after getting people started on whatever skill we have them working at.

If nursing Moms can work, then I think it should be that both Mom and Dad are slowed down to half-accumulation of skills during the nursing time. There has to be a sacrifice to having kids - can't make things too easy.

I've seen lots of neat ideas here, though.

~~ Edited to add:
Oops -I posted the following before even seeing VV2 - Lost Children.
My mistake. There is more to do in VV2. ~~

I would like to have a record of what happened when I wasn't there. Such as: who died, any island events, etc.
I especially get bothered when I return and find 23 dead.
What happened??
Also - the graveyard/tally maxes out at 50 buried, as far as I can see. I have seen many more die than that.

Totally agree about the parenting issues - 2 years off is ideal in our society but not on a new island. Also, as mentioned, caring for a baby IS work - not just a passive sitting around - heh.
And aye, the burden/consequences ought to be gender shared.

Tips/hints in the game menu would be good.
Didn't even know this forum existed til today - I had been stalled with 4 puzzles left. Twice.

Fun game but need more for me to actually do once the villagers get established.
Also, what good are massive tech points after all your levels are complete?

Thanks for the game. It's fun.

I absolutely love the game!! Lol its the first thing I
check in the morning before I get started on the day.

Some fun things I think would be neat to add or update are pretty much in line with everyone else.
Love a change of day to night-be really cute to see everyone disappear at night into the huts, watch a sunset or have someone on night guard duty

Love a change in weather too-I get such a kick out of them having allergy season but would love to see some weather changes-like rain-I bet the kids would be so funny playing in the puddles and mud. Also that there was visible wear and tear on the buildings and such so that the builders had more to do-maybe build boats, weapons, toys for the kids and so on. Also like if they do a rain dance for the crops that it would actually rain

Would love to see animals added--like monkeys running in and out causing havic, pets for the kids like dogs and cats that they could chase around and livestock like chickens--or even dangerous ones like snakes (so doctor's could heal snakebites)-or even add them as new collectable for the kids to get of island animals. The dogs could also help in the mushrooms by sniffing out new ones--and lol they could have neat barks and meows too

If they have to keep doing laundry, how bout having some in the pond like they do but others iwht a clothesline so the kids could run in and out of the drying clothes

I love the mothers with the babies but wish the time was shorter. I do wish there was an option to cap what you wanted to population at-sometimes they get carried away and you leave and come back and your village is full but you can't put who you want together anymore and you have to wait for someone to die before you can introduce new babies

I love the kids in the game--absolutely love them playing tag, attending lessons and storytelling (my favorite parts is watching the kids play). Would love to see the kids be able to swim at least in the pond though

Clothes would be neat to have them cheaper but also maybe some ceremonial ones or if you ever had village royalty like village chief, princess or priestess or witch doctor that you could get an appropriate outfit

Last would be that there would continue to be things for them to work on and play with even after the puzzles are solved-I get really attatched with my little villagers and love to have things that just continue for them do even if they are just rotated. The island events like floods, no rain, freek snow storm, hurricaine , or volcano erupts.
Most of all just love the game and already wishing for vv3 lol--my favorite game in a really long time

it would be nice if you could identify your villagers better, like if the farmers had something special to wear, like a hat, and builders could hold tools, doctors could hold an herb, scientists could hold special tools, parents could hold something, Esteemed elders could be dressed in a special clothing, etc.
