Toontown Research Part II

What features would you add to help yourself navigate better?

I remember during my first hour in Toontown, I found myself getting lost quite often because the entire world was so colorful that everything almost blended in together. The map you can open up in the menu did not offer much help because it lacked a lot of detail.


Eventually I became used to the area in the Central Playground, but I feel I will become frustrated with each new area. Perhaps it is Disney's intention for the player to explore, much like the HOH chapter said that players simply like to explore if it was not to complete a task.

I think exploration can be much more satisfying if there was a mini-map on the HUD that permanently showed your location in relation to other buildings on the map. Your avatar should be represented on the map as well, in the center, perhaps as a simple dot or an arrow.
