Countdown!

[LunaLight]

Day 19: I have some ideas, such as wanting a “market” of shops near the airport and having the villagers close together, however you never know what can happen when you’re actually there in the game!!

Also, 16 hours left for me!

 

[Beehaw]

Ah geez, working from home totally messed up my schedule and I forgot to post yesterday!

~~Day 18~~ Assuming you can have 10 villagers, what villagers do you wish to have on your island?

So I tried to get at least one of each personality type while also having all the villagers somewhat related to bees (in that I chose animals that are known to eat bees and/or honey)

So Diva and Lily are my frogs. I really wanted the new bear cause she gives me trans vibes and I also love Charlise so they can be girlfriends. I want Jitters since hummingbirds also pollinate (I plan on giving him a big garden), and Ken since I needed a smug villager and alot of my older beekeeping peers always tell me how much their chickens love dead bees as a snack. I have Cyrano and Annabelle cause I figured anteaters will probably also snack on a burrowing bee as well as ants. And then finally I have Bree and Brocollo cause beekeepers have to worry about mice sneaking into the hive and eating honey.

~~3/19/20~~ How do you plan on setting up your city? ~~

I'm gonna have a "welcome area" near the airport that has my shops and resident services all set up, and then there will be some trails leading all through the island. My residents will be very scattered, as I'm seeing them as fellow conservationists on my bee sanctuary island.

I got the game early and I started with both Diva and Jitters! If there's a villager transfer system like there was in AC:NL, and they plan to move out, I'm happy to let you know so you can come get them!

No way! That's so rad! Thank you so much, and I'll def take you up on that offer if we have the means

How do you plan on setting up your city?

As an elegant garden park. Though, I do wanna try to make the game last by trying not to jump to conclusions on everything.

DAY 20! I literally sat there for a good 15mins just listening to the wind rustle through the trees like oh my actual god from a sfx pov, they nailed the ambiance.

Spoiler: my map

Day 19

I have lot's of small plans but no real idea of where to start, and no plans in term of the layout... guess I'm just winging it

 

[22lexi]

Day 19: No real plans on where to start but i'm definitely going to have lots of river and will be going for a Hawaiian/mermaid theme for my island! Just over 11 hours left for me!

 

[quinnetmoi]

I've been trying to keep myself "out of the loop" so to speak, so planning a design for my town isn't really possible when I don't know how things run yet or what sort of things we have available to place, etc. I guess my overall goal right now is to make sure I'm happy with the river entry points of my island when I land!

Day 18 - Assuming you can have 10 villagers, what villagers do you wish to have on your island?
None at the moment, I want to be able to enjoy the game

Day 19 - How do you plan on setting up your city?
Natural progression, I won’t bother at first, but I’ll eventually start setting up my town

Day 19 - How do you plan on setting up your city?

I'll see in game, I don't like to plan to much, I just want to enjoy playing

Day 19:
The back right quadrant I want to leave as wilderness and make a hiking trail up to a plateau as high as I can build and have like a look out park there.

I'd like all my shops and stuff to be by the beach and have a beach town vibe.

Originally, I wanted to make a suburb with all the houses but after watching some of the videos I don't like how the clusters of housing look. Now I am planning to make one long road and everyone's house will just be a long the road but nice and spaced out.

I love the idea of a hiking trail! I'll definitely have to do something similar and might name it bunnyhill to kind of give credit to you! (also I think ur username is really cute :3)

Day 20 - First task you did after moving in (and being free to roam without any tasks) / If you don't have the game, do you plan on following anyone's progress online?

after switching to real time, I went and just collected a couple of weeds, bugs, fish, and placed blathers tent. also paid off my first nook miles loan! decided to go to sleep after that ^^

 

[jenikinz]

Day 20: I shook all the trees, picked all the weeds and did as much fishing and bug catching as I could. (first fish ended up being an Olive Flounder)

Since my game is coming late (no thanks to this pandemic) I’ve decided not to follow no ones process since it seems that I’ll be experiencing the same thing, and I don’t want to get burnt out before I play

~~3/20/20~~ First task you did after moving in

I really wanted my first bug to be a honeybee, but my starting area was really small due to the river and I didn't have any flowers. Started fishing so I could get some money and buy a pole vault, not knowing they don't seem to be available yet...

HOWEVER a single honeybee did flutter over so I caught it and have just been catching bugs/fish and shooting down presents.
