Make Buildings Translucent When Walking Behind Them
This is probably a very tricky thing, but could the region of a building that I am walking behind be made translucent? It would be helpful to see my current location, as well as Mission Givers and even other players who are behind buildings.

We finally found a workable solution and will be including it in the next update!

This is something we've been looking at off and on. We've actually got a ticket on our board for this exact thing that's around a year old. Unfortunately, we haven't found a solution that doesn't kill performance to this point. The search continues...

Thanks! We plan to implement a way to see behind buildings and other large objects. The trick is doing it without causing a major game performance issue.
We'll fix this issue soon.

It'd be nice to see the flying pig hiding behind buildings too, especially as the city fills up.

Perhaps make it such that you can rotate the world in isometric rotations? Then you need to have to make re-renders for the exterior decorations? Or just indicate something being behind an object by rendering a question mark on that location (similar to how dots represent other players on minimap) and render a clickable arrow icon to be able to enter other buildings behind a building.
