It all starts with tents

[Sweetley]

Just like in New Leaf, you will start in New Horizons with a tent as a your home, which can be upgraded
as we know later into a typical house. And as far as I know, your two starter villagers also seem to start
with a tent and can probably upgrade them into houses if they paying their house debs too. So I thought,
what if everyone starts with a tent? And with everyone, I mean the NPCs, who usually have their own
buildings right from the beginning. What if characters like Nook, Timmy and Tommy, the Able Sisters and
so on starting of with having only a tent (= small shop/service to offer) which however can be upgraded
the more your work on your island and the more time has past. Kinda like how you unlock other shops in
New Leaf, like Leaf's shop or Kick's when you did certain things and playing for a certain amount of time.
It would be at least fitting better to the whole "desert island" theme the game has at it's start if everyone
has a tent and if everyone would work on the same goal to have at the end a big building, which would
also change the "desert island" theme into a "island full of live" theme.

I don't know what you guys think of this idea, but I would like it if it would be the case.

First off, gotta admit that I love the title?instantly drew me in and sounds like a newspaper headline (on a grimmer subject perhaps)

I think you might be onto something, and agree that seeing everything develop from tents would be neat. Unless I?m misremembering, I believe the E3 gameplay footage showed Nook?s business to be in a tent, so that?s some reasonable evidence in favor of your theory

I totally agree with you, it would be nice to start like that....slow beginning, I like it.
They said that they want us to play that game for years so we will start from scratch and slowly, we will build everything.
sounds nice
