I was thinking about the paintings in the game, and how we could have more, and maybe even better paintings in the game.
I don't know how many architects will like to be able to do this, but I thought it would be cool.
Why not code in a new portrait studio idea... basically an architect takes a screenshot in game, and the game turns the screen shot into a painting automatically, a schematic if you will. You can produce the same picture many times, but once your schematic is used it's gone for good, thus giving us the chance to have UNIQUE pictures on our wall of all different sizes... The paintings size would be up to the architect, or the client who they are working for...
Let me know what you think of this idea, and give any other ideas you may have.

We should be able to make arcade games. Like coin operated mini games.

I like the idea but I think that it probably wouldn't be feasible for them to implement. They'd have to store a bunch of graphics images on the server side for that to work. I doubt they'd be able to do that.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could walk into a structure and click on something and then be playing a game like Doom 3?

I really do like that idea. Anything that allows for independent creativity is a good thing.
I can see the difficulty in implementing it though as well.
Additional thoughts:
- Perhaps you can set a limit on the schematic you can make from it - like 5 or 10. This way it truly adds to the uniqeness and rarity. (would this lessen the database strain?)
- Ability to build and add different and unique FRAMES for all paintings; including the ones we get from the Bestine museum.
