EVERYTHING learned from PAX East!

Thank you for that!

I saw a pic somewhere of the museum, and it starts off as a tent with the symbol over the entrance.

Not sure if it was fake. It looked real.

that was real !! he doesn't get the big museum until you donate a certain number of items!

Oh! Yeah it was a brown-ish tent.

Edit. I just read about the donating thing!!

i was watching another pax video here, & the fruit dropping works in weird ways..

patterns used to make fruit disappear, but now we're able to put fencing on top of paths.. so i thought disappearing fruit was over..

in this video, you can see it will bounce a lot further than it used to..
but they will also disappear if there's nowhere to bounce to. weeds will make it disappear.

just something to note, if you're shaking perfect trees!

I noticed the blue roof on the starter museum (step up from Blathers tent), and I guess that has to do with your island's color.

I'm sure I've seen a proper exterior on a fully upgraded museum, so we aren't stuck with just a roof color, it's an entire roof upgrade, like we can do with our houses, and hopefully the airport.

Otherwise, why would the semi-starter museum have a blue roof?

I think we CAN upgrade the airport/dock!

Nevermind! I see what you mean now.

I remember having to move all my flowers every time I wanted fruit. LOL

Something I noticed that I haven't seen anyone in this thread point out yet is that planting bells in the shiny dig spot seems to only make a money tree with green leaves! I'm still holding out hope that you can get one with gold leaves if you plant money in the dig spot with the gold shovel

interesting.. i'm still guessing that the 'town color' comes from the answer you give timmy & tommy when you start out!

With the bulk of the customization done, Timmy and Tommy have one final question: what’s the one thing you’d bring with you to a deserted island? I was asked to choose between a sleeping bag, a lamp, some food, or something to kill time. I like wandering around at night so I chose the lamp. Timmy reassured me that Nook Inc. would provide all essentials despite my choice, and the Nintendo rep said my answer wouldn’t do anything directly but didn’t elaborate on the possibilities. With the profile complete, my character was taken to the deserted island.

I hope that this is the case, because I am getting a physical copy, so maybe some people who are getting digital copies can give some information on what the question correlates with since they can play a little sooner I would really really like to have blue since yellow, red, and green won't match my theme, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't get it.

Yet no energy required to terraform?

I do not want an energy system like that Stardew game.

As far as we know, there isn't an energy system like Stardew.

Everything functions as normal.

If you want to cut down a tree and dig the stump up, that's fine, you can do that the same as old games.

BUT if you want to dig up the whole tree in one go - then you need to eat a fruit.

It isn't an energy system as such, but to make your life easier, you can eat a fruit to ENHANCE your energy.

A hulk mode, if you will.

Has there been any mention of the letter limit for our character name? I know there was a screen shot with the name "Demetrius" which is 9 letters but I was wondering if there's been any definitive letter limit mentioned. Thanks for all the awesome info!

Do we know what the face painting looks like?

There could be multiple possibilities, but it's confirmed that you can make patterns and use them as face paint.

here is the transparent paw print pattern on a face

and a guess at how the patterns will work, by @cherrycrossings on twitter

Wow that is very in depth analysis of the face paint! It also looks smoothed out as well (less pixelated) when applied on the face. Would be cool to see how stubbles/beards pan out.

here's a weird video of the face paint.. looks like theres areas on your face that can't be painted.

Hmm, so cheeks and forehead only it seems.

Wait.. forehead? Oh god, the Narutos are going to take over...

i'm not sure if this is because of it not being a transparent pattern, or if the face will be a "pro" pattern & we'll have a better mapping system for drawing on the face.. but this means no freckles!

though.. don't give me ideas on naruto.. i'd be putting a sailor moon tiara on mine.. ♥

Legend has it, if you Naruto run, wasps can't sting you, and tarantuls and scorpions can't hurt you either.
