Island Feedback and Showcase Thread

[oak]

Hi! I’m not sure how helpful I’ll be since I’m not very good at expressing myself and am stumped on ideas for myself, but I want to try to give you some ideas you can consider anyways.

Since you have a lot of leisurely areas along with some work areas too, have you considered maybe making it centered on more entertainment or some type of business or market place? Maybe a fish market to go with the fishing area below? Though since you already have the main room decorated, Idk if you’d want to start your room decoration by scratch or move the bedroom to upstairs. I am not sure how well the entertainment idea would go with your theme to be honest, but just threw it out there if you want something very different. I’ll post again or edit if I can think of any more suggestions and something better. I still love what you have and the relaxing vibe. Good to see Gaston and all my favorite bunnies are doing well as well as your other cute villagers .

Sorry I’m not really good at designing or giving critique myself .

Thanks for taking the time to reply! Turning the house into a business is a good idea. I put the pompompurin furniture in there just to fill space mostly. Maybe I can move that set to my main house and use Elliott's place strictly for a business. Imma try some things out and try to tie it into the fishing area down below. If only we could have more ramps, that would help a lot! But thank you anyways, you got my brain rolling haha.

I've just updated my dream address for spring. Playing off the cherry blossoms, things are looking sweet and pastel right now. I'd love for folks to visit.

I just came from your town and its really lovely , really liked the area around town hall/able sisters and nooks

Really liked your home too, every room was super cute and cozy but i think your basement is definitely my very favorite room from them all !

Thank you!

The basement is my favorite room, too.

I also liked the flower/star decoration in front of your museum and found super hilarious the dwarf meeting session hehe but it also makes me wonder if the little town with the little houses in the right side of your island is their home, that would be super cute

I had been thinking of it as a fairy village, but it makes much more sense to be home to the Council of Gnomes!

Any chance someone who I can trust to not report my island for blood would be willing to go look at it and give me feedback on what I should do to it to make it better? I'd message the dream address
(Keep in mind frame rate issues are starting to happen so I don't want to put lots of stuff on top of what I have now)

I don't know if I didn't get any feedback earlier in the thread because I was vague about it or because I didn't put the DA in the post, but I'd love to get some opinions about my island. I want to eventually place down another player house and maybe do something more with the beaches, but idk what to do with either at this point and I'm happy with most of my island so I don't want to level a lot for new areas.

I'd love some feedback on my island, please. Which bits work well? Any areas that you'd change?

It's mostly wooded and natural-looking, but with different areas dotted around. My three-year-old son plays it with me, so some of the things are his idea (especially some of the rooms in our house).

I'd love some island feedback most areas are finished but lacking some flowers! I'm trying to do a pastel pink+blue theme but everything is very pink right now lol

So I really want to know about this and its been bothering me for the longest time. I have an area I don't use too often that is located on the top right side of the island, where I have a lot of trees, flowers, and a rock garden in place. I was thinking about tearing it down, but I am not really sure what to replace it with. I don't want to get rid of my Rock garden since I worked hard on it, but the flowers and those trees I have just isn't being used as much. I have no ideas what to put there. Any feedback or suggestions I would appreciate it for the rest of my island.

Since I don't know anything about your theme, I can't give you any feedback regarding that, but I can leave you some thoughts I had while touring your island. First of all, it is definitely very unusual. I liked the different colored lights and that together with the pavement gave me somewhat otherworldly vibes. The parts with the many buildings seem very urban, but more in a sci-fi than a realistic kind of way which makes it interesting and the bridges and the waterscaping are nice as they make it seem less monotonous. I think what I wasn't too fond of was the fact that you are using items very, very sparsely and therefore there isn't much diversity. I didn't feel excited to discover anything new because it was all pretty much the same. If this is how you want and like it, then great! But for touring, I think there needs to be a little something extra to keep it interesting. Like I said, I really liked your terraforming and I feel like so much could be done with that if only you added a few more things or maybe slightly changed the environment in different parts of the island. Due to the lack of variety I also had a bit of a hard time navigating since I never knew if I had already been in a certain place.
The whole thing looks like a lot of work went into it and I appreciate how unique it is, but it is a bit too barren for my liking. Regarding the space where you have your rock garden, I think it flows well with the rest, so if you are happy with the style, I don't think it looks out of place.

Overall I think your island is very cute. I especially liked your main neighbourhood on the bottom right and also how you decorated around some of the player houses (didn't go inside.) Also the view of the lighthouse right infront of that wooden fence is really pretty. Personally, I thought some parts were a little too cluttered with items and differend pathings and patterns on the ground, but I guess that's just a question of preference. Also I found it a little bothersome that there was only one way to get from the lower two the upper half. Other than that, cute island!

There is a lot to discover on your island and I'm pretty sure I didn't see everything. I really like your use of flowers and trees and the way you coordinated the colors. The waterscaping looks great, especially on the map and the way you used bridges and inclines is amazing! My favorite parts were definietely the two hills left and right of the secret beach with the rock garden and the Celeste items and moving from that one garden with the stone fences and the bamboo over the bridge and through the stone arch to a more colorful part. I also liked that one rock on the beach with the red lights and the jukebox. I love how everything flows together and I don't think that there are any parts that don't work, it is a very pretty island overall. Sometimes I would have preferred just slightly more space to walk through, but that is very, very nitpicky.

It is certainly pastely! I love how you connected the airport and the Resident services, the way you used the bunny day decor is adorable! Some parts look a bit barren, I assume that's due to your lack of blue flowers? Especially the little neighbourhood of Reneigh, Julian and Sherb looks unfinished. I really liked the field with the pumpkins and the turnips. Also the colorful classroom (?) is pretty cute and I like the cut down bamboo around where Lily lives. Is the carnival already finished? I feel like it's missing something. Overall your island is cute and has a lot of potential, it just seems like you have put a lot of work into some areas while others still look somewhat unfinished.

yeah, I'm missing a lot of flowers and need to add some yard decor in that upper neighborhood. I forgot to remove the turnips before uploading the dream, oops! the carnival isn't finished at all, I'm still hunting down some items for that area. thank you so much for the feedback!

I really thought the turnips were there on purpose I know how they can be annoying and you actually made them look good!

Glad to hear you liked the two hills near the beach...that section took by far the most terraforming!
