Home Design Games – What Can Be Better?

Hey fellow design lovers! 👋

We’ve all been there—getting super excited about designing that dream space in a home design game, only to hit a roadblock that takes the fun out of it. Whether it’s clunky mechanics, unfair scoring, or feeling like you're stuck doing the same thing over and over, it can get frustrating real quick.

We’re a small team of aspiring game developers, and we’re dreaming of creating a fresh home design game that feels fair, creative, and, most importantly, FUN. But before we dive in, we want to learn from YOU, the real experts!

Here are some frustrations we’ve heard about:

• Where are the rugs (or insert other specific item)?! They’re such a staple, but some games make them so rare or expensive that it feels impossible to use them.
• Unfair scoring/voting systems. It’s frustrating when you pour your creativity into a room, but it feels like the results don’t reflect your effort.
• Repetitive gameplay. Same challenges, same furniture—over and over again. We want to bring the spark back into design!
• Feeling nickeled and dimed. Expensive items, awkward bundles, or a pay-to-win vibe can ruin the experience for a lot of players.

So here’s the deal: We want your honest feedback!

• What bugs you the most about the current design games out there?
• If you could wave a magic wand, what features would you add to make a design game perfect?
• Any creative or “wild” ideas you’ve always wished these games would include?

We’re hoping to create something that’s truly rewarding for players—a space where your creativity is celebrated, not stifled. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing your ideas (and frustrations) with us. Together, we might just create something amazing. 💡✨
