Ideas For New Prompts in Future Animal Crossing Games

[* Taco *]

So. I know Nintendo won't see this, but this is something to think about.
So, here are my suggestions.

New Game Idea!
So. You can find things buy selling and buying from other people. But, what if in one game, that's the complete purpose? You take charge as one of the village stores, choosing names, design, setup, and others! If you sell enough items to others, you can unlock new areas of the game! I think it's a concept I would be using in my games, if I had the experience.

New Fruits!
I want to see new fruits in the future games, like limes, and more tropical fruits, like pineapples, but those grow on plants that lay on ground, and I want to see that with new fruits, when you grow them, they grow 1 at a time, and sell for more bells than fruit on trees, but take longer to grow. This could be the concept for fruits like pineapples, watermelons, pumpkins, and more. I could see these possibly having a role with 2 town fruits instead of one.

Town // Character Customization
What I want is your character to be custom. Like Pokemon X and Y, you can change your hair style, eyes, basic eye colors, basic hair colors, and body weight // size. For custom towns, I want a randomized selection of villagers, about 12, then you can choose 6 of those. I also want a lake with a small amount of land in .075% of towns, and it would be a luxury to have it.


I will make more posts to this later, and I would like suggestions! Please reply, and suggest more things to add!

Thanks, ★ Taco ★

I wouldn't mind seeing a few small things added to the next animal crossing game. Such as maybe being able to create your own events, when you send presents to a villager such as furniture they display it in their homes and wearing clothes we send aswel, maybe being able to grow vegetables that we can sell, our own garden at the back of our home, when it rains add puddles on the grass we can jump in. I know I could think of more but small changes like that would make me happy

 

[Fleshy]

ooh, I really like the store idea, that's definitely something I'd play! I haven't got HHD yet as I'm not really sure if home designing is for me, but if there was a game revolving around owing a store I would be super interested! Specially if you could trade with the villagers and get them involved in your shop, that'd be super cute!! (kind of like when you had to work for nook in WW etc, but much more interesting and less tedious!)

I like the new fruit ideas too, limes would be cool! Also, it would be cool if you could grow vegetables or something (like turnips!!) you plant them in the ground and pull them out like weeds. You could buy turnips from Joan and plant them if you didn't want them to rot or something.

I must say though that I do like the characters are they are, as you can already change the hair colour & style and the eye colour with shampoodle (unless you mean something else). I know you can tan, but it might have been cool to have other skin colours as starter options though.

Interesting ideas!!

Aw, being able to jump in puddles would be the cutest thing ever!!

I wouldn't mind "owning" a store!
In one version, I believe it was either game cube or city folk, they had some "store day" or something. You would go to villagers houses to buy whatever they had and villagers could go to your house and to buy stuff (only on main floor tho). And if you control all the slots in Retail on ACNL, you can easily manipulate it and run it like your own store. (I mainly use it to sell gems to villagers. I get on per day, and put it on display as I sell a previously one) As long as I own all the slots, I take control. So a store would be a good idea (especially if I get to design it and stuff!)

I think you would enjoy Rune Factory 4. It has just about everything you are asking for, except, well, it's not animal crossing.

I would definitely like to be able to customize facial features, hair, and skin tone to properly reflect ethnicity. I think a wider variety of furniture sets would be nice, like have them sort of be able to unify across 4-5 rooms. I know you can sort of do that now, but it doesn't leave much option. I also think being able to more fully customize or even create furniture would be nice... Like maybe Cyrus could have a woodworking shop, and you could chose like leg designs for tables and chairs and furniture patterns and stuff.

I have a list on my tumblr of things I wish were in New Leaf; which could be applied to a new game.
Though I highly DOUBT any of it will make it to a new AC game, maybe some of it will but most of it won't.

Here are some of the things from that list that could be added to a new game:

• New bushes, flowers, mushrooms, trees, etc.
• Being able to make your own bushes, flowers and trees with preset options like stages for bushes, leaves, fruits, and shape. And colour preset options to choose from for colours of leaves, flowers, fruits, etc.
• More growable food options like turnips, onions, carrots, etc. But you have to water these everyday until they are ready to be plucked.
• Fruit baring bushes. You can harvest the berries from the bushes, but only in certain seasons depending on the bush.
• New villagers.
• Being able to move and place villager houses.
• Being able to commission new town layouts.
• Being able to commission to move rocks.
• Being able to commission to move the Town Hall and the Plaza.
• Being able to kick out certain villagers.
• Potential new Villagers gather in the Plaza or shops and you can ask them to move in, so you can have a variety of villagers to choose from instead of just one from the campsite.
• More house exteriors and being able to customize them.
• More house layouts (the actual shape and style of house) and being able to customize these with colour presets.
• New fish/insects/sea creatures/etc.
• New venues if there is something similar to Main Street, and more of them.
• New furniture and being able to place it like in Happy Home Designer (can buy with play coins)
• New hairstyles and being able to choose eye colour with colour presets (more than just the standard eye colours we have now)
• New clothes and shoes
• More features at the Island (if there is one)
• Being able to place Public Works Projects closer together and closer to things like the Plaza, Houses and Town Hall (if there is a similar feature)
• New Public Works Projects (if there is a similar feature)
• Being able to make your town larger once you accomplish certain things, and use either play coins or bells to commission/unlock larger towns.
• Being able to select your skin tone, like in Happy Home Designer.

Some kind of online auction house store would be cool. And a good way to earn some bells if you had something that someone else didn't and it was pretty rare.

And having the ability to design your home like in Happy Home Designer. Would make life so much easier.

 

[N e s s]

Aw man, those ideas are awesome! It would be pretty cool to run a store actually, maybe even include more jobs then just working for Brewster?

 

[ZebraQueen]

More shops
Like a bakery it will be nice and we can work there baking cakes

Or smoothie shop yum
And maybe add accessories like necklaces and earring stuff like that
Amd different color eyes too please
And at make more stuff able to buy again using the catalogue and no waiting it for it to get it
And take away the region lock
At least give us the items as dlc in the other part later

 

[Pandoria]

I wouldn't mind, as apposed to there being just 4 maps, a bigger amount like 10, or 20, however once you go forward, you are unable to go back! If this happened there'd be a risk to not going with a map, and make people whom are truly interested in that really evaluate their decision before moving on to the next c:

 

[VanillaChase]

I wouldn't mind seeing new collectables for the museum like gemstones. We already have them from the rocks but I wanna see more!

 

[shannenenen]

- I really want to have more freedom to customize my character. I want to be able to pick the skin tone is the biggest thing, but being able to design my character the way I want to at the start of the game would be great. Instead of having all hairstyles available to you once you unlock Shampoodle, you'd have to run errands for Harriet in order to unlock hairstyles, dyes, and color contacts. And let's have some more variety! Shampoodle has so much potential but I feel like it's kind of useless pretty early on into gameplay.
- I want it to be so much easier to place public works projects. Walking around with Isabelle is really difficult, and she has so many restrictions for what can and can't go somewhere. Maybe placing PWPs could be similar to the system HHD introduced with dragging and dropping in your town. And please let me put my benches where I want to.
- Bigger villager homes, and a yard area like we have in HHD.
- Please give Celeste her observatory back. Please.
- Let's have different jobs we can do instead of just having a mayor and then three kinda pointless characters. The other three characters don't really have jobs they can do in the game, and it would be so great if you could do more around town. So the first character you create would be the mayor like it is in NL, but when you meet Rover at the beginning of the game, he'd give you some options for what your job could be. You could work for Nook's Homes and do some of the things that we do in HHD, but there would also be a job at Brewster's, Leif's flower shop, or GracieGrace. These are just some ideas for jobs but let me explain them.
-----> Nook's Homes job: Similar to what is done in HHD, but limited to villager homes.
-----> Brewster's job: Run coffee and other treats (let's have more food items!) to villagers, kind of like running over presents but instead, they call for a delivery and you bring them their food. We could also cater parties!
-----> Leif's job: Work in a greenhouse and grow plants to be sold in the shop. This would make hybrids purchasable in game, plus you would have a wider selection than what's available right now.
-----> GracieGrace job: Design not just clothes for Gracie but also furniture! Gracie will commission you to design her idea, and then your designs can be purchased by other players and made available to download through QR codes. You could still design clothes for Able Sisters, but you would earn more money by working for Gracie.
What I like about these jobs is that it takes some of the elements of the game that are already in place and expanding on them, also making it possible for you to earn money by doing the things you already enjoy. Oh yeah, and let us earn money through jobs instead of just rewarding me with clothing, or paying me nothing like Nook did in WW.

 

[Svive]

What feature would you add to the game?

Okay I know we have all at one time or another wished there was a certain feature that would make your life in new leaf easier, cuter, or more fun!
What are some of those ideas and features you may have thought of while playing?

Some I want are being able to set butterflies loose in your house (they could be captured by setting out a log for them to perch on maybe?)
being able to design a home as easily as in HHD

DECIDING WHERE MY VILLAGERS WILL LIVE

 

[Espionage]

I definitely agree with the deciding where your villagers live one!

 

[planetSlash]

I agree as well!
Besides I would like to build any public works project I want instead of getting requests to unlock them.

 

[ZebraQueen]

Yes I agree with these it's a bit stupid having them to unlock

Also it will be nice to add some few more shops shops and make it more creativity like adding the restaurant and you can work there

 

[moonrisekingdom]

so many things. definitely deciding where villagers live(mayor could meet them at the train station and help them pick a spot), fundraiser mini-games to help complete PWPs instead of just relying on villager contributions/your own bells, to have some of the abilities ppl who hack have(i.e. the landscaping capabilities. being able to have clover, weeds, shells, bamboo, bushes, trees in your river. being able to plant cedars all over town, getting to place holiday specific items out year round, etc.), i think it'd be interesting if you could get around town differently, maybe have a bike shop and your character can bike around town. different shops. the ability to create a town holiday, the ability to work at different shops part time instead of just the cafe.

 

[louise23]

I would like to choose where villagers live

 

[Honeybun26]

I would love to be able to decorate the inside of facilities and shops. For example, when you unlock Brewster's Cafe, you could change the name and the items inside it. I think it would be super fun and give the game a new depth of creativity.
