    So, so far the most annoying things for me are the prices to hire staff and also have no idea why you'd make it so some cost more than others. Also I am picky about how characters look so the options with uniforms or anything to change looks is good.

    Finally what's irritated me most as I don't remember it being so on other games so prevalently is that getting citizens with a 9 skill that also have a dream job which is the same colour as their 9 skill! It's very annoying waiting to get a 9 and then when you do it has a different dream job. Also the dream jobs being ??? Is annoying due to the cost of hiring in all different shops to find it and the added fact that you can't make sure you don't get more than 3 of the same.

    The cost for hiring just makes it very hard with chopping and changing staff and to work around things like this as to sack someone and hire again costs a fortune, so basically I have to just sit online evicting all day which is boring. As why would I accept just anyone and then go trough the effort of changing it all again later?

    It feels like your taking it too far with anonymous info and costs, feels like any fun is sucked out because it's just much much harder work than tiny tower or tiny Death Star, so much so that I don't see why I'd bother.

    Edit: Most would be helped by removing hiring costs for definite along with making dream jobs visible as they are on all other games. Plus make them match a bit more often...out of 6 jobs and a full lobby 1 person has a matching dream job to their 9 skill.

    If you see a applicant with a dream floor of ??? that means the floor doesn't exist in your tower. Vegas is much less about constantly shuffling workers around. Your first goal should be getting 3 dreamers and only then worry about getting 9-skill ones.

    I added an edit and thanks for the info I'm I'm glad that dream jobs do show that will help a lot.

    I'm not trying to be negative with my posts I'm just telling you how I feel from what I know at that time because I'd love the game to be as good as possible and do as well as possible : )

    Maybe make it a bit more favourable to get the same 9 skill matching your dream job as most of them never do. Also I use to feel happy to get a bitizen in a costume move in and be lucky enough to have a 9 skill because so never had to worry about dream jobs because I'm pretty sure they always matched colours I just had to make sure I didn't have more than 3 of the same. Now I feel bad because most don't match and I have to evict them and lose the outfit when before it would be added to the inventory.

    Edit: just a small one but I'd like it if coin values shown like they use to once you drop off bitizens on different floors with the elevator. Also just wondering if it is intentional that floors cost 10k then up to 12k then jumped to 48k as it seemed a big jump.

    Double Edit: after some time I do prefer the lobby holding new bitizens now as it saves trying to remember which floors were full and where people are. Just wondering if it can be expanded as bitizens and VIPs there is tough.

    Thanks for the feedback, some others have shared the same feelings regarding showing coin amount.

    Everyone up to here has been added.

    That's cool, I didn't know we could play games in friends towers too. So looking at yours is the order of buildings random or is it the same for everyone and yours is different as a dev?

    Anyone else as OCD as me have trouble deciding if they want to keep someone from how they look? That's if they have a 9 and matching dream job that is.

    One suggestion again sorry, at the very start of the game during the tutorial I evicted all the bitizens as none of them had a 9 skill. It seemed to take hours to get more and longer until I got my first 9 so it was very very slow at the start there for me. Unsure if the frequency of new people is slower during the tutorial? Maybe for the sake of it give everyone a 9 at the start for the tutorial.

    Loving it so far! The only problem I've had so far is that I'm occasionally getting the blue loading screen that doesn't progress, but other than that it is running great for me.

    Is there an odds of winning chart for each casino game? As of now I only have slots, and they don't seem to win very often. But when I added you as a friend and played 5 card poker, I won twice with only 3 chips.

    Also, are you going to make it so you can bet more, to win more, like a a risk-reward thing, or are you planning on leaving it so you can only wager one chip?

    Floor type order is the same, the individual floors of that type are random.

    You really just need bodies in your floors to start out with. Then find dreamers, then find 9 skill dreamers.

    Also when you play a game on a friend's tower it tips them a chip! Limited to one tip per day per friend.

    The blue screen is just our beta system loading in front of the game, so that won't be a problem after launch.

    All the games pay out the same over the long run.

    We initially had the ability to have game costs and payout scale up as you upgrade the floor but took it out at the last minute. We'll have to see if that becomes a common request.

    My friend code is 10FP ! Really digging this one so far...in the first few minutes of playing I had to find a room for storm troopers, and then an alliance of magicians with an Arrested Development reference in the mission text...lots of personality!

    So far I'm loving it! It follows the successful TT format yet adds excitement with the slots.

    What I like:
    - Gambling
    - Customizing your tower
    - "Living Floors"
    - Coins, Bux and chips are all easy to obtain
    - Having guest instead of tenants
    - VIP IAP

    What needs work (in my opinion):
    - Friend and players club are kind of confusing
    - I would like to see some other buildings when you zoom out, it looks kind of dull

    Looks like another hit guys! Keep up the good work! BTW my friend code is 10F7

    Friend code is 10F4

    Only other observation so far is how it scrolls halfway past the lobby, I like how it goes down and you see the fossils and everything but I'm not digging the way that it stops halfway down :(

    Other than that no problems so far! Are you guys looking for any feedback in particular?

    On my players club it shows 0 bucks, don't know if you guys haven't updated or it's just mine?

    Edit: Nevermind, just realized I had to play spooky slots to earn bucks in the players club, there is also a few minute delay.
