Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

I don't know if this would go against the spirit of Animal Crossing (???) somehow, but I wish the fishing system had some changes. It's probably the most boring thing in the game for me.

I think there should be bait to attract certain fish. When I saw that new Chip-like NPC I hoped he might have a bait shop or something. Bait would increase the odds of rare fish appearing. So if you see a large shadow in the water, it's less likely to be a sea bass when you catch it (I think the type of fish is already determined before you catch it, but maybe as soon as the bait is applied, it would change species) I suppose it'd be an item you apply to your rod, and it'll last for a certain amount of throws.
Maybe if you've caught enough fish, you could buy an expensive bait that will attract out-of-season fish.

This also made me think about worms; they obviously aren't "bugs" but wouldn't it be cool to catch some on rainy days? They could double-task as cheap bait!

I think it would be cool if a new way of collecting art works was introduced, like collaborating with cooper and booker to find stolen art works by solving a mystery in sherlock holmes style, or any other way, the current system of trying your luck at Redd's has got to change.

I want to do secret handshakes with my villagers with high friendship levels :'D I just want special little things that are unique to villagers you gain friendship with. It could be something small, like if a villager you have low friendship visits your house, they won't really do much other than walk around. But if you have high friendship with them, they can "cook" for you (cooking actions like in HHD and pocketcamp(?) or sing/dance near a stereo, etc. and of course, a bigger variety in dialogue and general personality.

I hope the animal do stuff. Instead of walking around with a fishing pole. I hope you can see them fish and catch stuff. Now that would be cool.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but I would love if the semi-annual (Spring and Fall) Sports Fair was brought back

I would also love to see villagers be move interactive during any and all holidays like they were in the Game Cube version.

I want to see their fishing bob too!
It should be in that space, but we never see their bob... Why?

Yes. And hopefully we see them catch things.

If they have the HHA or they turn it back into HRA.
I hope it's not based on just using an entire furniture set (Like a room fill with just the Kiddie set) in our houses.

 

[Shawna]

Speaking of the HRA/HHA, I think it should be optional to be a part of it. Tom Nook shouldn’t force us. -_-

Like, for example, if you want we can wait to join, then once we’re making progress on our house, then we can join (if we want).

 

[tajikey]

Instead of relying on a guide (virtual or paper) for what bugs and fish are available, there should be some sort of information plaque or bulletin board sponsored by the museum letting us know what we can catch right now, as well as which have already been donated.

 

[moo-kun]

Yes. And hopefully we see them catch things.

Definitely! It makes me feel lonely that I'm the only one in the village to catch anything when I don't see any evidence of my fellow villagers catching a single thing! Then during the tourney, Chip tells me they have caught something... When? ٩꒰ʘʚʘ๑꒱۶

I'd love it if we had an app like this on our Nookphone! A re-work of the encyclopedia that has whats available now, what we've caught, and what we've donated.

I just want Lyle to sell me insurance again. It's absolutely a scam but I want it back.

They had insurance before?

 

[AccfSally]

Yeah, back in the DS version.

If you fall over from bad luck or got stung by bees you get like only 100 bells in the mail, if you had signed up for it.
It's all a scam.

I doubt Lyle will become that again, it's kinda been mentioned why he isn't doing it anymore back in the Wii version.


Edit: Speaking about something From Wild World..
I really like to see a rock underneath the waterfall (some layouts will have it and others won't).
This picture is from my little town, Bluebell.

I've been thinking a lot about the pattern maker for this game and how hand drawn patterns will be translated with the super crisp graphics. So far the only pattern-type thing we've seen is the leaf logo at the sea plane port, if that is what I think it is. The pixels look a little choppy for the circle, but the leaf actually looks pretty smoothed out. So I'm wondering if our patterns will get smoothed out a bit by default after we've placed them so they look better with the graphics?

I'm also hoping there's something like a "transparency" feature so that we can easily overlay on top of grass. For example, if we just want to design a stepping stone, then we don't have to match the grass colour, just make the stone on a transparent layer. Same with clothes. Wouldn't it be cool if there were regular clothing designs that we can draw on top of or simply recolour? That way it would sort of translate the pixels directly or something.

Oh man, HD rock under waterfall would look SO nice. I hope they put that in too! Can you imagine map resetting for different rock types under waterfalls.

 

[QueenOpossum]

I hope instead of map resetting, Tom Nook will have landscaping services - so you could purchase features like the waterfall rock, so you could have the river redesigned...of course, that'll get you a higher loan...

I remember that!
100 bells for a bee sting, it was nuts!

On one of my old phones I've got a video I took of my Wild World game, where I'd dug a heap of holes and pushed Lyle in, then sealed him in with another hole.

He was running on the spot as I was just out of reach.

OMG. Hilarious.

I'm hoping for this!!! I'm thinking Chip will be the guy for landscaping but I could be wrong... In NL in his RV it's says that when he's not hosting Tourneys, he goes to all different camping grounds!
So I'm wondering if he'll be with Harvey too? (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧︎

I look this up because it was something I have never seen. According to Wikipedia, it was a thing and a total scam. "Lyle is rumored to be involved with Crazy Redd in a large-scale scam, tricking players into buying things at ludicrous prices." Here are the claims.

In Lyle's Insurance Questionnaire, he asks what date the player would prefer Redd to appear. The answer will be the date for Redd's future appearances. Lyle also suspiciously mumbles "Not that I'm involved with Redd".

When Crazy Redd has the Famous Painting in his shop and the player walks in, he will be mumbling "..Better inform Lyle about this..they're getting suspicious..". He then notices the player and carries on his business.

God, the lore to this series is amazing.
