This is a place where we can wish for Thimbleweed Park changes and new features and the Terrible Toybox Gods will answer our prayers. Or not šŸ™‚ I donā€™t really have the need to change something story or gameplay related but I came up with several other points: - **in-game credits** It would be nice to have complete credits in-game (e.g. including voice actors) and accessible from the menu. - **GOG achievements** Because I would like the GOG version being on par with the Steam version. - **extended text adventure** Ron said originally the text adventure should have been much bigger. This change could be quite problematic because it would need translations, may affect the hint line, would need a lot of testing etc. But maybe as an unsupported and English-only DLC? I know I can dream! - **arcades: execute custom processes** This may sound completely unncessary but it would be really fun to use TWP to launch whatever processes we want. We could make our own arcade games using the arcade machine background. Or we could use it as game launcher for existing games like _Maniac Mansion_ or _Resident Evil 7_. It could be implemented using configuration settings (Win/MacOS/Linux only) which allow specifying a command line (file path + arguments) per arcade machine, overriding their default game (or its broken state). When such arcade machine gets activated it would show a black arcade machine screen, pauses the game and starts the external process. When TWP detects the termination of the started process it automatically unpauses and returns you to the arcade room (or when the user manually unpauses TWP). ---

> [@uriel](#): > > Imagine playing TWP in the arcadeā€¦ and then going to the arcade in the arcade and lunch another TWPā€¦ andā€¦ šŸ˜± Yep, thatā€™s the plan: There are 6 arcades so you can spawn 6 new TWP instances and with those 36 and then you have a game launcher for 216 games! This should be enough for casual gamers. (I havenā€™t checked if/how TWP prevents multiple instances but Iā€™m sure we can work this out; switching configurations shouldnā€™t be a problem though) ---

Two maybe less serious proposals: - When you enter the sewers you actually donā€™t have to turn the lights on but can freely cross the room: - Then on the other hand if you exit the sewers leaving the lights on for too long you should be eaten by an environmentalist. ---

@David was way ahead of his time in this department. Zak McKracken canĀ“t leave his apparment without switching off the TV, sink and closing the fridge first. Why the characters in Maniac Mansion donĀ“t do that you ask? TheyĀ“re breaking into a foreign house stealing stuff! They just donĀ“t care! ---

Iā€™m with @David. If I see a plug switch left on I HAVE to turn it off, regardless of where I am, who Iā€™m with, and whatā€™s appropriate. If I made an adventure game, plug sockets would be my specks of dust. ---

With Zak, it really bothered me to let Zak leave his apartment with the water running and the refrigerator open. I figured I could impart a lesson on sustainability while appeasing my own compulsions. It would be interesting to hear if I changed the behavior of any kids playing the gameā€¦ that would be cool. ---

I think I can second what @someone said. Remember that I played those games so early in my life that simple things like interacting with a fridge, a toilet or a garage door was like playing those games in real life. My dad even talked in command line like speech when he wanted me to do something sometimes and I happily obliged. On the downside I think I did stuff the sink with toilet paper once. Sorry! šŸ˜³ ---

> [@David](#): > > It would be interesting to hear if I changed the behavior of any kids playing the gameā€¦ that would be cool. Not changedā€¦ I was a well-raised kid. But I remember that very well and thought it was so cool. Of course I tried similar things with Delores in the Mansion Mansion kitchenā€¦ and was disappointed in her being OK with that. And angry: ok, then Iā€™ll leave it running/open! Who am I kiddingā€¦ I went back in right away and closed everything again. Still, having Delores comment or act upon it would be on my list of things missing in TWP. That and more objects in all these empty cupboards in the kitchen - especially in the flashback. ---
