EVALUATION OF KONPEITO!

Well, I found dreaming of your town quite enjoyable. Yet another town saved during the spring cherry blossom season! How enchanting! It was very magical. The first picture I took was of your lovely town tree in full bloom, with pink petals blowing in the breeze. But I did note the litter of clothing items and streetpass items in the area.

I quite like how you arranged your flowers. The orange mixed with black lilies made for a nice combination here. Flowers surrounded villager homes and were carefully ordered and placed. Well done. However I could see the beach from this view, which made me want to take a closer look.....

As you may have seen from my other reviews, a pet peeve of mine is flowers on beaches. In your case, aesthetically appealing? Yes, maybe, however, there were an overabundance of them and your sandy paths seemed unnecessary. Your ordinary pathways leading down to your beaches were littered with giant clam shells and coral simply because there was no room for it anywhere else on your beach! To me, and this is just my humble opinion, beaches should have sand, shells and palm trees, nothing else, but I am not about to judge how people play and base my evaluation on my opinions! It is just a pet peeve.

Then I went around visiting homes. Normally, if there are multiple, I just visit the mayor's home and evaluate that, but I was curious so I visited them all.
This pic I found particularly amusing. As soon as I walked in Shibe's house, I was greeted with THIS! (Sorry for the Best Friend message that popped up at the moment I took thew picture)

Shibe's house was clearly a schoolhouse complete with a nurse's office, a library, cafeteria, a lab, and a music room - but no gym class!
Momo greeted me outside of the Konpeito Inn, a Japanese Style Bath House complete with Spa Rooms, Tea Rooms, Buffet Rooms and even a Social Lounge in the Basement with a piano and a pool table - very classy place to be!
Lapin greeted me in French, which luckily since I am Canadian, I understood, and I believe she said "Being a celebrity is difficult" which made her house a little easier to understand because at first it made no sense at all - and perhaps you could clarify. One room was a corner store, another was a tropical resort, another was an old western type room..... were these depicting scenes from movies she was in? If so, that is very clever. And it certainly told a story by dreaming of your town - something I was looking for when dreaming of towns. It was very unclear because I didn't see any cameras or lights (which are furniture items you can get) that would explain that these are movie scenes a little more.
Then I walked around a bit.... AND I FELL IN A PITFALL! :O Haha!

This particular spot was nice. A picnic blanket by the riverbank! I can just imagine the surrounding carnations making it very sweet-smelling.

This was one of my favourite places.... a really nice place to take a nap under the shady trees! And the dandelion puffs! I LOVE blowing on them, its a favourite past time Not a fun place to nap if you have seasonal allergies though! XD

Then I came across your house. GREAT choice of location, by the way. You know what they say, LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Beautiful spot. Well-decorated too, with bushes and trees. Now, something I noticed as I walked around your town.... and you can see it in this photo too... are wrapped presents. Either with wrapping paper or gifts. I came across balloon furniture, wrapped streetpass items, random clothing items, even a newsprint helmet, just littering the town in seemingly random places.

This was my favourite room in your house though. I am a big fan of the Alpine series, and the custom design you chose to refurbish it with is gorgeous. It was very warm and welcoming. In all the houses I found no lack of lily record players! You seem to really like them. Just an observation. XD

Then I got to meet YOU! The Mayor! I always try to take a pic of meeting the mayor, so here is us. Funny, when I met Beau, he has the same Catchphrase.

This was a beautiful entryway from the Train Station to greet your guests, I thought:

Then outside Re-Tail I came across a strange downward staircase tile....? Leading underground....? To where....?

Lastly, in my personal opinion, for function's sake, these two benches were placed in too close proximity to each other. Perhaps put one of them closer to Brewster's? Just an idea.

Anyway! That's my feedback! Thank you for participating! It is a lovely town! I will transfer the 10 TBT at the end of the contest as I mentioned in my first post. I hope someday you will Dream of Ivy Wood!

 

[nammie]

thank you for the long feedback and lovely pictures!!!
just to explain/clarify some points you had lol

the clothing was a school uniform, considering my mayor's catchphrase and shibe I wanted it to seem like a love triangle btwn the dreamer/my mayor/shibe lolol
I also left out the streetpass items for dreamers to play with lol, I left them all over the place to encourage ppl to go all over the town to try and find them. kind of like a scavenger hunt I guess?
the balloon presents are just for decoration lol, I saw it in another dream town and thought it looked cute so I tried the same in mine.

the underground passage/pitfall were bc I had them near/in a fairy circle (that circle of mushrooms), so I wanted it to be like a secret entrance to some fairy's world + a trick they play on you if you get in the circle heh

and oh fellow canadian!! yes she's supposed to be a movie star, and her house is supposed to be a movie studio hence why I had it near the tower + advertisement sign, I wanted the tower to be like a broadcasting station
originally I had the movie camera items in the rooms but they looked really mismatched so I got rid of them;; think of it as sets after she filmed the movies I guess haha

and for the beach, well diff strokes for diff folks haha I put all the pink/orange hybrids there to make it look like a sunset on the beach to match the sky, and I put the shells on the ramps on purpose bc I think it looks cute lol

but thank you so much for visiting and for such thorough feedbacks!!

How interesting! A love triangle! Haha! That's neat! XD

I have noticed a LOT of people leaving gifts for the Dreamer, like clothing items and streetpass items, etc.... and decorating towns with eggs, candy, fruit baskets and other "litter", but I appreciate the gesture. I would rather venture a town without any "presents" because it almost feels like stealing. I opened them sure, but I immediately dropped them where I found them. Using them would being "against my moral code" I guess. It doesn't award anyone extra points. For all I know that Streetpass ice cream was yours, not for me, there was nothing indicating that those were gifts for me, so I just assumed it was litter, so thanks for clarifying.

That's funny how I fell prey to the fairy circle trick! And the portal to the other world? That's pretty neat too. I was just really confused with that tile XD

Bonus points for you then. One thing I am looking for is for towns to tell me a story of some sort as I explore, and your town told me a story for sure. Lapin had depth in her character for sure. Haha.

Yeah.... its a recurrent thing, I have found. Its just a pet peeve where if I find flowers on beaches I just feel they don't belong there. It might not be enough to dock points, but its something I consider when evaluating towns on a case by case basis, including litter as well (like is it litter or gifts? These things can be ambiguous....)

Thanks again! I am glad you appreciated my feedback! I put A LOT of work into it! Its not easy uploading all those photos to Miiverse, then to my iPad, then to tinypic and posting them correctly.... So.... thank you

If you would like me to pm your feed back-public is fine.
Do i plan on being absent on jan 1-7- I will be here.
I would prefer in game bells.
Any feedback is great.I am mostly proud of my houses.

This sounds like a lot of fun.Am i allowed to enter my other two towns?

EVALUATION OF JOY!

This is the first "Theme Town" I evaluated. 4 Seasons. I know you were most proud of your homes, but I had to evaluate the town as a whole to be fair to everyone as well. But it was quite a joyous ride!
I started with WINTER with Santa's House.
Here is my Selfie outside the house: XD

This part of the house I found particularly amusing, where you used a Dango for snowballs! VERY clever. That made me laugh.

The only thing I would add to Santa's house would be to get your hands on a few Tingle Hoods (from Katrina) and Mannequins for the basement (Santa's workshop) to use as Elves.
I absolutely LOVED the ice rink. It was right outside Brewster's, so you could sit down with your take-out cup of coffee on the bench, do a little ice skating, it put an adorable image in my mind. A great way to tell a story - that is what I am looking for when I am dreaming of towns, something that shows me what its like to live in your town and experience life there. Tell me a story as I dream. This ice rink spoke wonders.

I went through the Orchard, and made my way to the Witch's house!

I finally got to meet you, Annie, and this is what you said:

......Thanks.
Either way, I made my way into the Mansion, and this was my favourite room. Because it was the only one without a creepy doll in it. This room was rockin' It was time to Boogie! Monster Mash! LOL!

Then I took a shot from the outside of the Haunted Mansion: I particularly like the bare perfect fruit trees to give it the extra spooky look!

I took another selfie - this time an Angry Witch Selfie (since so many of your PWPs were these standees)

Cute! A lemonade stand! (Also "telling a story")

Bell Trees and Gold Roses - needless to say this town is economically stable!

Then I headed to your beach..... Where are the shady palm trees? I counted merely a few. Your beach is overrun by flowers! Its a pet peeve of mine, but flowers, in my opinion, do not belong on beaches. You had excellent placement of flowers throughout your town, surrounding villager homes and PWPs.... why your beach?

I found Cinderella's house!

Cinderella and I

Finally, my favourite house, Snow White's house, because it was the most masterfully done:
So adorable!

This room made me laugh so hard!

The 7 Dwarves!

Mirror Mirror on the wall....

Lastly, my selfie as Snow White:

Overall it was a decent town. VERY CREATIVE.You put A LOT of effort into telling a wonderful story in your town and creating a magical experience. It was a pleasure to dream of JOY. I hope someday you will ream of Ivy Wood!

Thanks for the lovely review and all the nice pictures.Reading your review made me smile.

you using the items in the dream won't affect the items irl so I don't see how it could be stealing? I think most ppl who leave items out in dreams leave them out specifically for dreamers to play with lol
I hate using the items like ice cream and stuff in my actual game bc they disappear after so I always appreciate being able to eat them in dreams at least lol

esp considering your surgery it's cool you have time to do this O: hope you get better soon!!!!

Types of Feedback you are looking for (if any): I'm not finished with breeding hybids so they're scattered all over the place (and my last alt's house isn't finished yet). But you're more than welcomed to check out the pwps and the inside of the houses.

EVALUATION OF ORANJE!

This was the first town I evaluated that was in Winter. And it began to snow partway through my dream, so that was nice! I found absolutely no litter on the ground, which was great to see.
Truly, Oranje lived up to its name, with beautiful perfect orange trees and orange hybrids all throughout the town!

This was a nice park area I came across. I will say there was a lot of repetition of the same PWPs, like the flower gardens to the right of the picture. (there were 2 more to the left). But bonus points for symmetry!

There was a great consistent fairy tale theme throughout the town. Town Hall, the Train Station and the Mayor's House were all Fairy Tale themed. These public works projects - bench, lamps and bridge - also matched the theme nicely. Well done.

I went into your house, and had trouble choosing a favourite room! The basement was particularly impressive: An Ancient Egyptian Tomb! I have a fascination with Ancient Egyptology, so great job!

This was also a favourite room of mine: The Cafe room! It was lovely. I have always dreamed of having a cafe room. So it was nice seeing one so well-designed!

Then I got to meet YOU! The Mayor! In your backyard, where there was a hidden PWP which I found quite pleasant

Then, as I do with all dream towns, I inspected your beach and was pleased to see no hybrids, no litter, no paths - nothing but beautiful palm trees sand and sea shells, as it should be! It made my heart sing!

Then I took a short nap under the orange grove as it gently snowed The house behind there had some lovely rooms, all nature themed, it was hard to choose a favourite, but all very impressive.

This PWP placement I was particularly pleased about. A metal bench not far from Brewster's so you can take your to-go cup and look over the cliff's edge at the ocean view in the distance, with a street lamp for decoration at night. Very well done. There was no path leading to it though, and perhaps emphasizing that bench area with bushes or something would make it even more pleasant.

At Joshua's Hotel Surf n' Sea I came across many rooms I liked (like the Cabana room) but this one was the best, simply because I have always wanted a beach island resort room myself full of island items and beach umbrellas and such.... so awesome!

Anyway, that is my feedback! I will transfer the 10 TBT when the contest is over, as I mentioned in my first post. I hope you will someday Dream of Ivy Wood!

 

[oranje]

Thank you so much for the kind review! You're the first person to review my town so I'm very pleased that you liked it! I also thank you for your feedback; I know my park area next to Brewster's is a little bare right now, so I'll plan to add some bushes and a path in the future! I'll be sure to dream of Ivy Wood once I'm all done with finals!

EVALUATION OF SYDVILLE!

First off, I thought it was very creative how you saved during a meteor shower! (My Dream is saved during a meteor shower actually, so, great minds think alike, I guess XD and it was great for the purpose of the contest. It made for a very magical experience. Well done. Here is me in your town tree area wishing on a star:

I wandered around and came across this spot here. I wasn't sure if I should be disappointed or impressed! The tiles of the picnic blanket were so detailed! But there is a picnic blanket PWP (which I assume no one has pinged you for yet). It was a lovely location for it with Jacob's ladders and Perfect Orange trees, but I am going to have to say I would have preferred to see the real thing.

Meeting Mayor Syd I always try to take a pic with the Mayor!

Then I fell in a PITFALL! :O

I found some areas like this one that had fruit on the ground. There could be many reasons for this, to spoil them to attract ants, or for convenience to grab fruit for villagers, but for the purpose of this contest, fruit on the ground is not aesthetically appealing.

Then I ventured to your home. There was no particular theme or furniture arrangement that I saw in the main room. and the back room was black off! There could be many reasons for this, either you didn't want me or HHA visitors going in there or you just unlocked the back room - but either way, I would have really liked to see it.

Your basement was my favourite room though. I have a sloppy set myself. I mixed it with the campus set to make it look like a dorm room, but yours looked a little empty and barren. A lot of open space. Maybe consider putting more furniture down there. I particularly liked the coffee cup on the table!

Emily's house amused me. It was tiny, and it was just the rare cardboard set! I just had a funny image in my mind of her being a little sister or something that you wanted to box up and move out..... Hahaha....

There was some litter on the ground, like these Harvest Festival leftovers here. And very few hybrids in your town, or flowers at all. The fountain was nice for beautification, and I would have liked to see more flowers, but I didn't spot a single wilted one (granted, I don't know what ordinance you have)

This was my favourite spot in town: The Flower Clock! Signifying Perfect Town Status! Well Done and Congrats!

As with every town I evaluate, I inspect the beaches. Your beach puzzled me. 2 carnations, a mushroom, some dig spots, and to the far left some carpet and wallpaper.... Hmmm.... But not a palm tree in sight!

That concludes my evaluation! Thank you for participating! I will transfer the 10 TBT at the end of the contest! I hope someday you will Dream of Ivy Wood!
