Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

@AnimalCrossing on Twitter have just unveiled what's on the second floor of Paradise Planning office... it's a break room where you'll be able to change your clothes and just chill out in between designing villager's holiday homes.

I love that cabinet that's to the left of the mirror. I hope we can get that as a furniture item.

I noticed the handles are on the wrong sides. Or maybe it’s the right sides in Japan?

They aren’t hinges. They don’t intersect the cabinet and doors.

Oh, no, they're not hinges or handles: they're sliding doors that slide to the left/right to access the inside of the cabinet, and the black parts are the finger holds that you use to push the doors to the side. That's a common thing in Asian furniture designs.

Ohh. That makes sense. It’s a nice cabinet.

That photo implies that we might be able to use separate floorings in the same room with the partition. That would be cool if that's an option for buildings we can edit.

I think it’s probably just for npc buildings. I could be wrong tho…

Pretty sure the museum uses different floor types.

Same here. I'm also really in love with the rug and I'm not usually a fan of various shades of red when it comes to furniture patterns.

Y'know, I love this update and I am happy with New Horizons, but random thought that makes sense to me.

What if instead of just Harv and some Gyroids, O.K Motors actually came over and with O.K Moterhome Market. Where buy giving them money they help upgrade the local market shops into nice homes on wheels and the services get better.

Maybe random NPCs and Villagers can be seen browsing wares from time to time and you have a possibility of getting them on your island.

But ya, Happy Home Paradise also makes a lot of sense.

I love this idea and O.K Motors is one of my fav new additions to the AC Franchise, I'd love for them to turn up in NH

Note how they said “and more” in the direct. Makes me think there’ll be more npcs added into the plaza than the ones shown. So that is a possibility.

No mention of the return of Gracie Grace and her luxury goods . This update is definitely what we needed though. I look forward to playing it on Friday and already preordered the dlc. I now know I'm going to need to make space to grow all the new crops on my island.

Don’t lose hope yet! She could be in the plaza. But don’t have them too high either, if it doesn’t happen.

 

[Sholee]

was it confirmed what time we can play the update?

No, but the updates usually release for everyone at the same time, which is about 11am in Japan. For me, that would be about 9PM CDT on November 4th.

thanks! so it would be around 10PM EDT for me.

This is an incredibly optimistic take, overtly so, I'm afraid.

What they said in the Direct was something like "You will experience the new content in ways we haven't talked about here". That is a very vague, flowery wording and doesn't give me a lot of confidence about features they haven't talked about. Maybe I'm wrong. But I just wouldn't get my hopes up.

No I meant in the plaza segment. Not the overall direct.

Sorry I should’ve specified

Well, I'm afraid that's even less open-ended. They never gave any kind of general statements in that section to give any hope. They said you can bring the special visitors that have been visiting your island to Harv's island (which is pretty specifically referring to the visitors that are present in the game). When they showed Tortimer and Katrina it was very much presented in a way that didn't hint toward there possibly being others not shown. There were no kinda statements to allude to the possibility of there being more, just "here's Katrina!"

I mean, I wish there were more, but I just don't think there's reason to get our hopes up much.

They’ll probably add at least one more.

Can anyone confirm if the update will technically drop for us early on Thursday at 8:30 pm for people in CST U.S.?
