Any way we can add townie requests to the review/task screen? Sometimes they ask for a tower or some such thing & I forget what they said from the time they told me to the time I make it back to the town hall

There's a "review mayor's messages" button that does absolutely nothing but remind you there's a lottery ('cause that pop up reminder interrupting the game isn't nearly enough!)
I'd love to see townie requests and who's been fed and how many apples were sold and who asked for what favor on that useless message screen.

This is an old topic, and a lot of changes have been made to the game since 0.6.0. The current version of Virtual Town, as of today, is 0.7.9, which does display any favor requests that you have from the townsfolk in the Task Review (tap the exclamation point icon above the cornucopia):

Hello VirtuallyMe. When a townie walks up to my mayor saying how lovely it would be if the town had a certain Town Upgrade again (different than a favor request, so there's no icon over their head), I usually take a screenshot of the suggestion, in case I get sidetracked and may not remember later what it was that they suggested.

If it's something you'd really like to see added to the game then you should really post your suggestion in the Virtual Town Suggestions thread in the Developer Feedback Forum (sorry to sound like a broken record). Otherwise it's likely to get buried in the current thread.

Thanks for the reminder MissKathy. I have been there & posted here on an impulse

Does actually anybody play this?
Having played all the game from LWD this is poorly.

I do. But I will admit that waiting for the next update is getting tiresome. I understand that LDW has a small staff, and that they have several projects going, but this one is so much better graphically, yet neglected

I'm playing it. There are aspects I really do like, and parts that I don't enjoy as much. I am currently trying to figure out the plant cross breeding mechanics.

IF you want help, there's a thread that has a pdf chart to help. But it also gives you answers so don't look if you want the challenge haha

I'm sure I'll resort to that in a week or so, but right now I'm enjoying the challenge!
