User blog comment:Redvsbluefan100/Not enough habitats!?.../@comment-3091405-20101207041521

The limited habitat space has been a constant topic of conversation since Pocket Frogs was released & I'm sure that it will continue to be discussed for quite some time. I too would love for my frogs to have more room to hop around; it seems like they're jumping over one another every couple of seconds, but expanding the size of everyone's individual gaming environments would require a fairly comprehensive overhaul of the entire game, and although Pocket Frogs is fairly new, redesigning the game at this point would require too much time & effort to be worthwhile so the game's developers are kind of confined insofar as what they can do so instead of rebuilding the game from the ground up, they have been trying to give us the illusion of having more space while at the same time trying to keep their own operating costs within reasonable limits. It would be great for us if they decided to spend the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to increase the storage capacity on their end of things so that we could have more room for habitats, or if we were able to devote more of the processing power & storage of our own devices (iPods, iPhones, & iPads) to achieve the same results, but I don't think that they designed the game that way originally & part of the excitement & difficulty of the game comes from the fact that you can't simply stockpile a copy of every unique frog to have for later, but must instead have some sort of general game-plan or strategy to succeed. That being said, the game's developers have been trying to make the game easier for us, or at least that's how it seems to me; We were able to see the Max Value, Speed & Stamina of frogs in our FroggyDex when they released v1.0.6 @ the beginning of November & with the latest update, v1.0.8.1 we are now able to 'clone' any of the frogs in our FroggyDex, although w/ a hefty price-tag. I don't know, I guess that being forced to think about things back in the early days of the game made it more rewarding; I was thrilled every time that I finished an Award & it sucked to hop around the pond for hours looking for the new frogs each level, but when I found my first Veru to breed with in the pond I felt like I had earned it & was proud of myself for more or less beating the game on my terms without simply asking people to send me one of every species & then losing interest.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that although I would also like to have more habitats simply for the sake of being able to have more physical frogs hopping around, the 64 that we have are enough for just about everything else; I think there are a pair of screen-shots on my Talk page showing the 62 or 63 frogs that I had in my habitats that would allow me, in theory to breed any of the 14,720 different frogs.

So yeah, I agree that it would be nice to have more habitats, but re-reading my comment, it seems like the epic ramble that I just went on argues differently, lol. Anyway, that's my story & I'm sticking to it....maybe ;-)
