Critter Café

  1. Pay attention to coloration.
    Color is a main topic if we talk about design something, no matter the topic. but, lets talk about this topic then. Combining color is not that hard, especially with natural color such as green from the tree and brown from the stone. just dont make each other looks so bright because of other color.

  2. Pay attention for height.
    Height is matters. especially when you have multiple height items to put. dont put super tall items next to very small items. except it still in the same theme, like rock with pebble.

  3. Don't put everything at one place
    Dont make your habitat look so busy, they need space too.

  4. Enjoy your design
    Put everything as much as you like it. you the player, you the one who enjoying the game. put it as your vibe.

    That's all from me

So for this one, I looked into the actual benefits for the habitat and there really aren't any except for creating play areas for this I am going to share three images for customizing your habitat.

I would suggest for the habitat to create a "feel" or "zone" in each area that mimics maybe a irl place or just a theme you like and as you collect critters, I have 16 now so, there are lots of them running around.

  1. I have made for this area a little pool that is semi-secluded for the critters to play in and put some soft bouncy balls down as well.

  1. For this one, I created a beachfront feel for the critters.

  1. So over here, Icreated a Winter Wonderland kind of feel for the Critters

My advice for customizing the habitat is not to rush. Initially you don't have too many tools available, but you can already do something. Putting some plants certainly enlivens the environment and even some tree bark helps. The advice is not to put everything close together, because the critter may not be too encouraged, it needs freedom and an environment that gives it calm. Then as you go forward you unlock new things that can be added to areas already structured. The important thing is that each area arranged is not finished, because during the journey you return to it many times and it improves.

Initially I put a few things in the habitat, at least those I had available but you can unlock many interesting things to make the environment for your critters absolutely relaxing. Like the cafe, I also like to create the habitat immersed in nature, inserting tricks of the right colors. A few rocks here and there are needed, a few tree trunks for sure, I saw that the critters wander around them. And then I put a kind of game right in the center between several trees and I also found those very interesting for the critters that wander around them. Then I chose plants and flowers of various different colors in order to create a super colorful environment.

I would say start simple, as you won't have that many items in the beginning of the game, you can always revisit anytime to add things to your habitat. You will be able to unlock more furniture and decorations simply by playing the game, completing quests and collecting blueprints.

There are no gameplay advantages to how you decorate your habitat, so that gives you the freedom to decorate it exactly how you want! Just pick your favorite furniture and place it wherever you'd like. Some fun things could be to try and match each habitat with a certain theme or color, or you can also keep things minimalistic for a more "naturey" feel. The only thing I would say is try to make sure there is still enough space to walk around and not get stuck, just like with the Café.

I'd like to thank this rewards for offering me the opportunity to finally look into decorating my Habitat... because I was finding it very overwhelming before, and so my poor Critters were going decoration-less. That's fine because the Habitat is already a very nice place to hang-out at, but here's how I would advise to approach it:

  • as with the Café, you should go for something that you enjoy! the Critters will appreciate it no matter what, I'm sure :D

  • do not be like me-- do not think you need to decorate the whole Habitat in one go! one little ruin here, a rock there, will already make the place looks more "homey" and more "yourself" as well.

  • contrarily to the Café, there is no gameplay benefits or drawback to decorating the Habitat (or not), so you can change your mind and experiment as much as you'd like.

  • the Habitat comes with several biomes, and it can be fun to match decorations... or not!

  • have a play with the decorations normal color variants first, and then check out the color variants! I like to always start with the "normal" color variant first (it's the little "no color" button in the palette) because you never know what you will be surprised by!

I remember the first time i found the habitat. When I acknowledge the fact that all the area was customizable I just start doing it. At first I'm just placing things whatever it is possible but is when i understand when every zone of the habitat could have its single customization parts.

There are flowers like ice colors that is perfect for winter zone, with the snow landscapes fit very good so don't do my error in going to fast in the customization and taking few minutes for exploring all the area so you can know what is good for any zone. Don't do like me in the first run placing the ice flowers like everywhere, they're perfect for winter listen to me.

Like the ruins is very good for the forest zone with the pink flowers. The picnic basket for the beach, of course. And you go through this time after time in the best way possibile just recognizing every object how well fits in the zone.

Customizing the habitat is something that gives a boost to one's creativity because it combines personal taste with an understanding of what the creatures need.

Just like with the Café, it starts with expressing personal tastes, colors, and style. The Critters will certainly appreciate anything done to make their space special. It’s possible to improve the environment gradually and change things that clearly need to be adjusted. The key to success is creating a super welcoming atmosphere.

When it comes to furniture, I prefer choosing pieces that fit with the theme I've chosen, while adding a few elements that create a nice contrast. I like the forest and greenery theme, so I go for neutral basics and then add elements that evoke a relaxing environment for both myself and the Critters. The habitat will always be subject to transformations as new opportunities arise, but a solid foundation can already be built from the start. I choose spacious areas because I don’t like to close off spaces doing so would make everything feel more chaotic.
