Tapped Out Halloween Q&A – Question Submission

Aeternus_EA

Did you leave out any characters you might of wanted to include in the update?

Why doesn't the older Halloween decorations and characters count towards the current Halloween quest line? Like the other Characters such as Evil Flanders and Suzanne the Witch. Why don't they get a task to earn probes? Great job, I love the game been playing since launch.

Where did the Alien invasion idea come from for this event?

How long does it take, from planning to QA to release, to produce an event? How far back do you have to draft ideas for Halloween for it to be ready in time?

Do fan sites that post spoilers irritate you or help you (in that people get more excited for what's coming)?

Love the THOH 2014 event! Having a great time so far.

My questions are:

1. How far in advance do you plan and work on events.

2. Is there collaboration between the show writers and the game?


Thanks, Amy

1. Can you give us Donut Head Homer already?

2. And will you ever implement a faster and easier way for players to get free donuts?

Where's Wolfman Flanders?

There has been speculation that the Human Test Subject (HTS) is Philip J Fry. Is the HTS based on anyone in particular? If so, is it indeed Fry?

Did you have any other options on the table before you decided on the Rigellian alien invasion? Eg. Vampires, werewolves, killer Dolphins, or the citizens turning into weird animal-hybrids like from the halloween Episode 'The Island of Dr Hibbert'?

Does anyone from the show have any input on what you put into the game, such as how you write the storyline or what characters should do? And if so do you have to write the game so that it is spoiler free and/or encourages players to watch the show?

Loving this year's event, so thanks guys.

Are we going to be getting some Halloween Skins for the houses? Think it could be a lot of fun to see.

How far in advance do you have to start planning these big events?

Do you ever read fan blogs (like TSTOgame on wordpress for example) to know what the players like or dislike or to find out what they are hoping for?

Why is it that evey event comes with plenty of bugs that both hinders and irritates the players?

For the Halloween event It's a bug that makes sure that playes, me included, tappes on the bigger aliens running around town and it just stoppes and doesn't pay out anything...

I've lost hundreds of probes on this glitch...

Does anyone know the Moe question to what the hell is a Shmoo???

wilki1999

Can you reveal anything you have planned for this year or next year? We all love spoilers y'know!

How do you decide what to release?

Is there anything that you keep forgetting to release?

Did you always want this update to be rigellians?

I have moe's cane, shirt and underpants.. today when homers script played, the pop up to squish rigalians came up, but it was already completed, and I didnt get any more clothes or script - Was this a glitch?

I love this event as much as i loved the last two years i think it's the best event of the year. i love the THOH ones SO MUCH. I'd love to have a DVD with all the THOH in one boxset! expecially if you can release it in europe too please? (i know you're probably not from fox but still)

Is there any THOH goodies the EA devs wanted to include but couldn't due to licensing issues and if so which ones?

Any more videos going to be added to the game? They sorta ended with Marge being found
