EVERYTHING learned from PAX East!

i love all of the features returning from older games, new horizons really does feel like a homage to the franchise <3
 
New stuff:
Long look at Nook Miles Objectives at 8:43

This is a good one at 13:45 the character talks to Nook about having built their house! We learn:
  • Happy Home Academy is back to secretly invade your house! Lyle, Digby and Lottie were not mentioned.
  • Free storage in your house, which was already confirmed
  • A free Nook Miles Ticket, possibly the first one you can get
 
thank you for putting this together! i can't describe how much these little details make my heart soar, like the messages in a bottle and letter writing. only three weeks to go!
 
Thanks for the shout-out and compiling all that info?the videos are quite tedious to watch comparatively.

One complaint though:

? you can break rocks with fruit-powered energy and get "stone" resource

You call that MEDIUM news?! Earth-shattering news, that?s what it is :D

Also in response to the villager spaces, I?m pretty hopeful?if not confident?that it won?t be limited to 10 total. Two pieces of evidence against that:

1. The buildings icons on the right side of the map?it?s likely there will be more than just the ones shown, so that space would definitely need to either shrink down the icons or add a scroll down option.
2. I remember noticing that the overview only had space for approximately 5 villager icons in the Direct, when we can clearly see 10 (counting players) now?that?s already some proof of it expanding to fit more right there.
 
Great post! Thanks. Any more info on messages in bottles? Is it only restricted to recipes? Any clue on whether we can actually send letters like WW?

The recipes would be attachments to the letters in the bottle.

EDIT:
This doesn't appear to be the case

The function of that box outside Nook's Cranny has been revealed and sounds very handy~♪

Oh wow, I can do some late night fishing and bug hunting without having to store things for the morning! Amazing feature.

it's rock shattering news
 
When you get Nook's Cranny you can sell things by dropping it off in a box outside of the store if it's closed or you're in a hurry.

You can't drop turnips or "hot" items......hot items...?

Edit: hot items was explained: it's basically the item of the day that sells for more like Re-Tail. This means Reese and Cyrus, if they return, will have different roles.

So, there IS an energy system? :(

Do we have to constantly eat if we want to do regular stuff like hit rocks?
 
That feature is amazing! It kind of reminds me of the shipping box for Stardew Valley a bit.

Even if there's a handling fee, it could definitely still be worth using if you have a lot of bugs and/or fish that you caught, and don't have room to store them until the next day.
 
Thank you so much for organizing all of the information!! It makes it very helpful to catch all of the smaller details.

And that drop-off box is so helpful if you’re playing early in the morning or really late at night!!
 
? villagers ping you 3 times by shouting your name with a speech bubble before giving up (take pity on Nate please)

If they're on the other side of the island we might nnt make it in time.

I liked the old pinging when you walk near them.

The energy system is for pulling trees out of the ground and for breaking stones, normal hitting stones without energy is still present and this may be what we will use to find the money rock
