"Early Access" - Says it all.

# Gameplay

Pool Tables:
- Physics if any? Better off going to Miniclip and playing 8 Ball Pool, trust me. Call in the Ghost Busters, the white ball loves to phase.

Poker Tables:
- Can we actually play a round without the client locking up for every player on the whole table? The amount of relaunching of the game it-self / table hopping that is required to play a round of poker on this game is frustrating.

Casino Machines:
- Spend 5 hours straight on this one machine to get a Royal Flush.
- Obtained Royal Flush, only to notice the credit of the machine had been set from 5 to 3.
~ Great mechanic by the way, if credits are set to 1 or 3, this means you get no reward. Has to be set to 5.
- Meaning that no Jackpot was rewarded, thanks for that - good waste of 5 hours right there. :) :) :)

Bowling:
- If you thought it was over when you missed that STRIKE, think again - that pin will bounce straight back out of the gutter and strike down those remaining pins with great vengeance. Amaaaazing.

Theatre:
- Seems to be the only thing that functions without issues, the video-player from Unity actually works decently, but for some reason the default quality in your video settings is set to 480p, even at the ULTRA preset.

Props/Weapons:
- These are pretty fun, not very many are available from the start - but once you get these, they are enjoyable.

Economy:
- There is a global currency shared between all the official servers, this is used to buy accessories/gadgets for your character, props for your house and skins for minigame items. Good thing is that it won't take you long to earn money (depending on what you do of-course since the balancing of some activities is questionable). Some server-sided achievements will also give you money.

Custom Servers:
- If any, these are unlisted and not shown in their in-game server-browser. Meaning you're locked into the plazas and condos, provided by the developers. There is some custom content available in the condos but it's not like gmod, you won't have full control. (Plaza = Main game server. Condos = Player owned house)

# Game Performance

-----------> Unity <-----------
- Runs like DayZ from 2013 (at best), the longer you leave the game open the laggier and laggier it gets.
- Avatars lower res than IMVU, it's 2021... Allow an option for higher res models, highly doubt this is where the performance issues are caused.
- You will be expected to relaunch the game, keyboard inputs will lock-up.
- Lots of options to customise in-game graphics settings

# UI

Menus
- Very clean, gmod style menu's that are very interactive.
- Responsive & colourful.

Model Interface
- Steam workshop support is great, lots of free downloadable Avatar Models are available.
- Switch to different models on the fly, which is nice.
- There is no protection for avatars, meaning if someone highlights you, they can steal your model.

# Community

- Haven't seen any moderation at-all in the server, meaning you'll get a bunch of N bombing trolls in VC on a regular occasion. Have to pretty much expect that now a days, but the little to no moderation on ANY of the EU or NA servers is another disappointment.

- However, it's the complete opposite for the forums. The forums are heavily moderated, if you were to post anything your post will be reviewed by a moderator before any one can see it.

- Aside from the above, most people are pretty chill - but that's nothing to do with the game.

# Final

Any of the above comments are not isolated incidents, I'm just too tired to more examples.

If this game is being developed by 1 or 2 developers, then it's not THAT bad for the 5 years of development. But I swear, if there is more than 2 developers.... Then damn.... I'm Jenny Campbell, and I'm out.
