Someone asks for game designing, I would like to share what I saw when I happen to visit Supercell in Finland.
On another game, an item design was presented to us on August and only be effective in that game on January the next year. I would imagine that ideas, brainstorming about how the feature work and how it fit in the game would have begun months ago.
Apple may have informed about the change of Game Center, released different beta version. No where I can find information about them removing avatar for good. Even on their public developper forum, I stumbled upon a question asking why simulator and the build are showing different results. Working with something always changing is not ideal.
We can be angry, frustrated, dissapointed all we want, it doesn't change the fact the game is not as enjoyable as before.
However, I have seen better on the forum where players get together and work out a system to make the game enjoyable again. I'm sure you know what Captain 3 thread, Turbo Trucker thread, Pay It Forward thread are about. Even the 1 wheat trading system comes from here.
So if you are done being upset and ready to face the challenge again, can we get together again and figure out something?
My first suggestion, which still need input: avatar is gone, but farm name is modifiable, instead of having it started with emoji or random characters, what it you put your own signature in there to help your neighbors identify yourself? With a level and an uniques first 3 or 4 characters?
Personally I'll get iOS10 just for Game Center. If you need to know anything, I can test it for you.
