I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since ACNH was released!

What does your island map look like 1 year later?
Do you have any photos from when you first started the game vs now?

post them here! I’d love to see them!

here’s mine:

My island is still nowhere near complete but it’s come a long way!
 
This was before any terraforming at all.

This is now, not completely finish and my island is ever changing, but have come far from a year ago I think.

The only thing I changed about my character is the Halloween green eyes, the beauty mark on the right cheek and always wearing the handlebar mustache.
 
Ohh thats such a cute idea!
I never took a ss of my map the first week so I only have it from a scenery screenshot.

My island is pretty much finished - it has been since fall - but i still change around or update some areas according to season, same as my main room and bedroom. But overall I'm really happy with it and after 775 hours it has become my second home ♥️
 
Unfortunately, I never took a screenshot of my initial map, and the earliest screenshot was well after I unlocked the pathing/terraforming tools. Though, somewhat fortunately, I at least have the mini-map to show (dated March 28, 2020):

Also, for fun, I'll include my island representative and house as well (dated March 21, 2020):

Oh my I love this thread! Here are some of my photos

This photo was taken about a year ago! These are my first 10 villagers

This photo was taken recently so these photos are pretty much a year apart. As you can see, I've kept Ozzie and Bluebear

I kept terraforming to a minimum challenging myself to work with my natural island as much as possible. You can still see a few changes and tons of development though.
 
This is such a cool idea. As you can see I didn't want to change too much of the layout over the year. I basically just put paths everywhere XD

Looking back at the old pictures from (nearly) a year ago, Isle Xane is unrecognizable; The forest where Mary lives to the right of where I'm standing...wasn't there yet, only a river. Also, Cobb was my starter jock, but I eventually replaced him with someone else... Phoebe, the starter sisterly villager, is still living on Isle Xane to this day, though.

I didn't have any pictures of the full map, so the minimap is shown above. It's so generic without the X-shaped island and other customizations I've done to the island over the months.

For an accurate comparison, here I am, standing roughly between where Cobb and I were standing almost a year ago (though that stone fence blocks the exact spots). Believe it or not, that tree to my right is the same one seen in the old picture, so it is a bit historical...and now Mary's cute tent (or hammock, depending on the season) fits between it and another tree...

Isle Xane, over the year, has become some kind of home to me, as I've basically memorized its layout; I never need to actually look at the map, and my mind can show me the 3D environment... As usual for me, my island design might not be anything too special compared to others, but it puts priority more on usage than decoration, and avoids lag.
