island log & early days

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

kukui has gone through a lot of changes!
my starting villagers were teddy and phoebe ✰

at first, it was a very natural themed island. it's been redone a few times now to have more of a traditional vibe, and then a more cottagecore vibe, and today is a mishmash of retro + rural/small town vibes!

meet the residents

hey all! this is my first "real" animal crossing game (i was an avid pocket camp player before!), and i'm obsessed! my favorite villager is freya ♡
i grew up on hawai'i and wanted to make an island that was comfy, natural, but city/town-like. hope you like it!

haven't had time to play lately due to school & work

i did get about as close as i feel i'll ever get to "finishing" kukui, but then the direct happened...
now i feel like i have to wait to add a lot of the new stuff! it's a blessing and a curse, haha.
in the meantime i have finally made a dream address and hit five stars! poggers!

and a couple of glamour shots of newer areas i finished:

tickled pink about them, honestly! of course with the new items (and especially farming/cooking) i will have
to make some major layout changes...but in the meantime, wanted to share the progress i've made ☆ ​

happy singles day! ♡ i've been playing lots of the dlc (completed it yesterday!)~
really enjoying the new fresh breath of life that the game has now.
here's some little slices of life on kukui! some of these are older pics that i haven't posted yet, oops...
(there's been some island restructuring but i'll post deets/pictures later!)

it was raining and storming a while ago and i just love the way rain and lightning looks in this game aaa
have to embed the tweet since fsr the downloaded mp4 won't play T_T
(please ignore the twitter acct, it's just my dumping ground for switch screenshots lmao)

finally, cappy's also gotten a makeover by harriet! fell in love with this hairstyle lol
(and it more closely matches me and my mullet irl! until i inevitably cut my hair short again anyways!)

can't wait to update about hhp and kukui's (very modest) revamp soon!!
i've finally been able to add the subway idea proper now that i have more inclines~
wanted to post these since i've been sitting on them for a few days(/weeks/longer...orz)
hope everyone's enjoying the update! ​
