Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

I'm BLOWN AWAY by this update! Wasn't expecting anything besides the Roost, so when his update was over after two minutes I was like... wait.. what? OHRHOIRJ I love everything about this, and I'm so excited for Happy Home too, that one took me by such a surprise!
 
I am still in shock about everything that got revealed, but so, so happy about it.
2 more inclines! More fences! You can finally recolor all the furniture!

I'm so excited to go back to the game. I'm not sure how to feel about the farm thing since I don't have any space on my island to create a spot for it at the moment.
Just a month ago, I thought about how I'd be able to do a little underground train station by having two more inclines and placing the Mario pipes. Now that we'll actually get them though, I'm thinking of doing something else with them. Love to be planning stuff again.
 
I didn't expect a lot from this Direct, but holy smokes, did they blow my mind! The announcements absolutely made my day. I can't help but feel a slight bitter aftertaste in my mouth due to the fact that a bunch of the things from the update should've been in the base game, but the DLC and its integration into the game really made up for it and even added extra sprinkles on top.
It's great that I finally feel like there's a reason to return to my island. I haven't touched it in months and that's something that has never happened in the old games so fast. I'm incredibly excited for the new content and can't wait to see it. :blush:
 
I wonder if we can we freely explore the island using the first person cam. Hopefully there's no boundaries.
i've seen a couple of videos floating around of people with (presumably) hacked switches using some kind of free cam mod, and it appears that the backs of trees have not been fully modeled since nintendo figured we'd never see them anyway, and the backs of some buildings look pretty wonky both texture- and shape-wise.

i suppose they could have revisited some models and textures since then, but i sincerely doubt it, so i wouldn't expect too much freedom. :(

LMAO i've gotta see this. links?

im assuming you can move around in 1st person camera mode but you'll always face north ._.
 
I wonder since the villagers on your island can ask for a vacation home. Do you think it’s possible to invite someone in HHP to your island if you have an empty plot.
 
I hope that with the HHP, you could have a second island home, but that's probably asking too much. lmao

here's one showcasing just the camera mod, and here's another showing other "hidden" stuff using more tricks!

you can see most of what i mean just by skimming through. the trees are the most obvious, and as for the "wonky house" stuff, there's a customized red player house in the first video that's completely textureless at the back, and in the second video a villager house with a rounded roof looks really... um, unique.
 
I'm not a player of this game, so I don't care... BUT, I still think this is a fantastic update! :D With all the added (and fixed) stuff, this has finally become a game that I could actually be interested in buying (if I wasn't poor, ha ha ha!).

Adding several things that were missing from New Leaf, and apparently implementing pretty much all of Happy Home Designer concepts into one whole game? That's great! (I'm still irked about needing to be glued to the phone and the miles for everything, but that's more of a personal dislike than anything). Also, the coming-back of several characters that were very missed, which will be greatly celebrated for sure.

The "dividing spaces" with the half-walls and pillars is an excellent idea, and even a non-player like me can't wait to see how people are going to use this new feature to make even more awesome designs, now that the rooms don't need to be a must square. In New Leaf, I used certain pieces of furniture/arrangements to give that feeling of separated spaces and it worked more or less well, so I'm sure people are going to love this option! :love:

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but... more OLD VILLAGERS RETURNING again?! :LOL::LOL::LOL: Is that really a thing? I'm certain I've spotted amiibo Rio at the very least, checked twice to make sure I wasn't confusing her with Phoebe. And one of the Petunias? There was also a white goat villager that I didn't recognize in the Happy Home Paradise part of the video, but I don't know if it might be a new villager or a redesigned old one.
 
Dunno if anyone has mentioned yet, but since we can be literally first person, imagine when a scorpian or trantula sees us....😶
 
I had my jaw dropped the entire direct! I had no expectations other than Brewster, so very happy.

Although I was halfway through redecorating/terraforming my island... And now I feel I need to redo again so I can fit all this new stuff!!
 
I seriously love the gyroids! Didn't care to much about them in previous games but they looks super cute this time!!

Also, wondering if the amazing machine means something more... like bulk crafting? Or auto crafting or something?

I do wish we would've gotten multiplayer games, but maybe that's just not coming this game. I mean this game is perfect to me now considering its a one player game. But as a social game I'm afraid it lacks. Oh well.

This update will keep me going for months , maybe even a year so I'm happy as can be!
 
Almost everything I wanted in this update. After putting the game down, I need to start earning nook miles again. xD
 
I'm watching the stream again because I was screaming too much to pay attention last time.

Redd is going to be permanent too? I just saw him on Harv's Island looking shady! So what is the secret beach going to be for is Redd will no longer occupy it?

I'm really excited about that. My guess is that if he is there every day, he will only have one or two pieces instead of 4 and more fakes by proportion.......but yeah, now that leaves an opening for the secret beach......maybe a future paid dlc?
 
I'm really excited both about the update and also the new paid DLC content. There's so much great stuff coming but probably my favorite change is that I can now force all the villagers to get up in the morning. I hate having to time travel and miss the morning music to give gifts to the cranky, sisterly, and snooty villagers.
 
The only thing I wasn't clear on was the villager home remodelling.......will you be able to customize the exterior as well? Because if so, log cabin/cat island, here I come!!!!

(Soooooo excited to my MY home a log cabin and use log fences.......like my real life.......hmmm does it seem like I have a type? :p)
