          I don't have any pics or anything, but if you read what you can do in the game, it says that you can customize your house. :)

                  Well, judging from the videos I've seen uploaded by CA, I think you can customize the size or maybe it's just a preset size that you can choose. Would be nice if there's a 2nd floor of the house as an upgrade or something, like a winery in the basement ;)

                    This suggests you'll be choosing from a preset and then just decorating the inside/the land around it ouside.

                    I couldn't find anything showing the house itself, so this just shows the coop/barns.

                      Would be nicer if the buildings don't just.."appear" out of nowhere like that, some building process would be nice :)
                      Like scaffolding here and there..and you have to spend time to actually create that building :)

                        Yeah I was planning on having something to make the buildings less instant. Either a construction period, or different building stages that require you to provide certain items/resources.

                        About actually constructing the house in whatever shape you want... It's something I'm still thinking about. It would kind of eliminate the need for house "upgrades", which is a little sad for the local carpenter... although she has other uses still.

                            Ah I see really like the idea of upgrading the house and say you have to collect certain resources then you go to the carpenter as you mention and the carpenter then does the upgrade/expansion that would work for me cool idea concernedape really like the idea of a carpenter will this npc live in your house or will he/she have there own house?

                                Would buying the materials from the carpenter for upgrades leave her with stuff to do?
                                People these days sure love their customizable things, but in the end presets aren't bad either.

                                  The idea of the preset is good enough, as long as there's upgrades from the carpenter, I'm a-okay with it :)
                                  Like..a basement..for winery..;)

                                    What about both? Like you start out with a preset but as you gain a higher relationship with the carpenter or more resources you can get complete freedom to design your own house? That would kind of have the best of both worlds, cause you would still have the gameplay of house upgrades and then the final reward of total customization.

                                      I've been thinking about that but I keep thinking there'll be a bad side to it..I just can't keep my finger on it..
                                      Maybe..related to how the outside looks like..?

                                        This is a good point. Maybe CA could make the floor layout and interior wall layout customizable since that wouldn't affect the exterior rendering of the building. This way we aren't tied to a particular floor pattern, and we could have present external layouts.
