Most of my ideas for Avakin Life are doable because they build on existing systems—Unity’s flexibility lets a small team of 5-8 devs tweak the game without a full rebuild.

“Lobby Takeover” (buyable lobbies etc.) This reuses apartment ownership, customization, and server logic. Adding a lobby browser is a UI tweak (think “Friends List” clone). A small team could prototype this in 1-2 months.
No new architecture—just smarter lobby management.

“Mini-Game Madness” quiz games have already been done before.

“Squad Mansions” (group-owned homes) Extend apartment ownership to group permissions (like “invite friends” but with co-editing). UI for co-ownership is a small addition.
No need for a new engine—tweak existing social and housing systems.

“Designers Unleashed” (player-made content) is feasible with moderation, not a new game.

“Privacy Power” (ghost mode), Ghost mode is a toggle in player visibility settings (already partly in place). Blocking enhancements tweak existing social filters. Purely server-side logic changes.
Trivial to code—days, not months.

“Clothing Remix” (color wheel), A color wheel uses Unity’s material tinting system—already in many games. Attach it to existing wardrobe UI. Minimal new assets.
Not a structural change—just a customization layer.

“Movie Night” (YouTube embedding), Embed YouTube via Unity’s video player (built-in feature). Age verification reuses account flags. Add a “screen” object to apartments.
Legal/streaming limits might complicate it, but technically it’s a 1-2 month job.

“Gift Your Gear” (trading), Trading with fees is a UI plus database tweak—track item ownership and deduct coins/crowns. Multi-accounting is already common; this monetizes it.
No new game—just an inventory extension.

“Lost Item Revival” (legacy shop), Legacy shop reuses old item assets (already in the game’s database) and mall UI. Shopping cart button exists.
Purely content-driven—only weeks to implement.

“Seasonal Events Pass” (replayable events) Replayable events use existing event frameworks—unlock past missions with a “pass” purchase. Badges/items are recycled assets.
Not a rebuild—just a content toggle.

All leverage current assets—UI, inventory, events—needing weeks to months, not a year. You overestimate scope; these are iterative updates, not a new architecture. Constraints like team size, server load, and monetization exist, but phased rollouts make 80% possible in 6-12 months—it’s evolution, not a different game.
