The Idea box

Vesper City is built with its players. The Idea box (Help menu → Idea box) is where you tell us what you would like to see, and where everyone votes on what the city should get next.

Posting an idea

Give your idea a short title (up to 80 characters), say which part of the game it is about, and describe it (up to 1,000 characters). You can post 3 ideas a week. No links or contact details, and the usual word rules apply.

A new idea is not public. Only you and the staff can see it, marked "Waiting for staff review". Staff read every idea first.

What staff can do with it

• Open it for voting. The idea becomes public and voting stays open for 30 days. You get a notice, and so do other players, in one combined notice a day.
• Not this time. Staff give a short reason, and you see it. Ideas that were never opened stay private.
• Merge it with a very similar idea, so the votes are not split. Staff can also clear up a title or move the idea to a better part of the game.

Voting

Every player can vote 👍 yes or 👎 no on each public idea. You can change your mind, or take your vote back, until voting closes.

• One vote per account. Linked accounts count once.
• You can't vote on your own idea.
• Voting opens at level 3, once your account is 2 days old.

When voting closes

The idea shows Voting closed and the result. "Players backed it" needs at least 60% yes votes and a turnout of at least 5% of the players who were active in the last 30 days. Otherwise it shows "Didn't pass".

The result is advice, not a rule. Staff decide what happens next:

• Approved: the idea goes to design, and appears on the public Coming soon page with "Suggested by" and your game name.
• Planned: it is on the build list.
• Built: it is in the game. You earn a Visionary medal step, which is for show: no cash, Gold or Respect.
• Not this time: with a public reason.

You get a notice at every step.
