On to suggestions! The belt thing: please, please, PLEASE make them MUCH harder to obtain. Probably the levels should incrementally get harder to obtain so that newbie farmers can enjoy earning them, too. But for us oldie farmers, we want goals, too! The belt system is just fine as a new goal - but make it more of a challenge. Now, the beauty of my suggestion is that it ALSO deals with the popup issue because if you don't earn things so quickly, you also don't have as many popups. Voila. Two birds with one stone.

And some presentation suggestions: get rid of the hover thing. We don't want to have the game slow down just so we can hover and find out how many crops we still have to harvest. BUT . . . you're right, that we DO want to know what that number is. How about just writing it in text inside the seed box? And if you write it with ActionScript instead of creating the text as an image, it'll load more quickly.

And a presentation suggestion for the popups: if people click "No", the other window should NOT appear. No point in annoying people twice. BUT, if people click YES, then the other window needs to appear in full screen as well as regular screen. Otherwise, for those of us full-screeners, it's just sort of a mess when you finally quit playing and find all of these little windows you have to deal with.


Great ides Farmer Susan - please dont get rid of the belts Devs BUT make them a bit more of a challenge and less irksome to farmers?
