I've noticed that after a few weeks, most players have pretty much anything they want, besides gems. Because of this, the game quickly gets redundant, and players leave.
Another thing I've noticed is that sometimes, people refuse to roll, even when they have a surplus of dice; not everyone likes to share.
One way of fixing both these problems is adding a level system similar to the pets'. For players, this level system means that it is never a waste to go on runs. Even if you have everything you need, you can still gain experience and levels. An increase in levels could mean that you replenish more dice every day, or it could mean that your maximum dice count can go up. Either way, this is something to work towards that will keep the game going.
Experience gained can be based on number of players you are transporting. For example, if I roll in a group of five, I will gain four experience points (one for every player besides me.) This will also encourage players to share their dice, rather than use them all by themselves.
Anyways, I'm just throwing this out there so that the game seems like there's a point after you've acquired all the clothes you want.

You might be interested to know that your Puppet Guardian character, unicorn mask and all, can be exported to use in all Cold Breath gaming environments in the future. The next game (tentatively scheduled for July release) is called Ocean Book. It will entail traveling and adventures at sea in boats that the characters construct.
Other games are also under development. A new tower (#8) is also due very soon. So Cold Breath is working very hard to give your character many different and new gaming experiences.

Oh, I did visit the Ocean Book blog and was quite pleased with the videos I saw, but I didn't know that they were scheduled for a release in English. I'm ECSTATIC! Thank you for this information! I'll let my friends know immediately.
Quick question though, will we be able to use our gems/magic in Ocean Book? Will our inventories (including synthesis jar and warehouse) be transferred, or only our character's appearance? Thank you!

While Ocean Book and T8 are really exciting, the dice levels would still be handy. Normally I wouldn't want anything level-related at all, but if it's just for dice then it would be cool.
One problem I see with awarding more experience for rolling a big group is that people will only want to roll with a big group. Instead, how about you only get experience for rolling with at least one other person, and you get slightly more for rolling with 2+ people. Like, 1 experience for rolling with just 1 person, and like 1.1 for a bigger group.
Also, the effect of levels should be small. People getting like twice as many dice would just be ridiculous.

Sorry I wasn't clear about Ocean Book. It will be released in English, but date has been established. Also the July release in Jpn is tentative.
