Natural Occurrences Or Disasters For The Next Game?

[thatawkwardkid]

I just noticed that, omfg. Why don't we have a sun? By that logic, we'd be in eternal darkness. Either that or there's a sun on the other side of the screen and it's managing to bend its light so much it projects evenly.

Yeah, it'd be nice to see the sun, even if it's just a small part of the sun

 

[P.K.]

Maybe after it rains or storms, there would be puddles that your character can splash in (or trip)
And leaf piles in the autumn that'll scatter and disappear when you run through them

Eclipse would be cool but I don't want disasters! I like to see my town as a happy, relaxing place where the worst thing that can happen is an ugly animal plonking their house wherever they please without any warning.

 

[patriceflanders]

Eclipses would be neat!

Maybe trees swaying in the breeze?

yes !
a little earthquake now and again would be nice too

no tsunamis though, have a lot of flowers on my beach

 

[Spongebob]

Let's have a f***ing volcano erupt near the village and all the animals would run,freak out, or burn in the lava.



















jk lol

Disasters?!


This is a children's game! We don't want tornados ravaging a little kid's town! :c

See now that's actually a good idea.

 

[SoSu]

Heck no! I don't like this idea! Dx Animal crossing is meant to be relaxing and peaceful. adding disasters would ruin that aspect which is one of my favorite things about it.

Totally agree. I like some of the calmer ideas on the thread though

 

[honeymoo]

Windy days would be hella cool.
Tbh, I think stuff like storms that destroy flowers wouldn't be a bad thing, the game is so easy and laidback, and I feel like adding maybe a little risk factor like that would be kinda cool?

 

[Geoni]

They should just make an effect for when it gets windy. By that I mean if you pull your umbrella out, it will be harder to walk in the direction of the wind and the umbrella can potentially break by becoming inverted if you use it too much on a windy day/storm/blizzard. As an easter egg.

 

[Tinkalila]

Considering that animal crossing is a game centered around your town, I've always felt that it fell short in different types of weather. Although thunder storms are fun as a rare occurance, rare occurances just don't happen enough. Something I'd like to see is days in the winter where a lot of snow falls, and kind of build up tiny "walls" that are hard to walk through, on everywhere but paths. Winter kinda ruins the game for me, but this could be fun!

 

[Pokemanz]

During the winter months, patches of snow on the ground could turn to ice, and you might trip if you walk on it lol

You could also use your shovel to clear paths of snow that would remain until the next snowfall.

 

[Ray-ACP]

I think flooding would be interesting. You could catch rare fish in flooded ponds.

 

[Fuzzysaurus Rex]

Eclipses, thunder and storms would be nice but I don't want anything that could destroy any parts of my town so no disasters and such. That's a no-no.

 

[Tao]

I think it would be a fun idea, but severely annoy people if we're talking proper natural disasters.

I can just see it now.

You turn on your game, load it up and the animation of you coming out of your house plays, only to see that a tree has fallen onto your house and destroyed half of it. You run around to check the other villagers are okay and find out what happened.
You find Isabelle's corpse outside of the town hall, burnt and crisp. Evidently, a Volcano has erupted nearby and destroyed the town hall. You run over to Stitches house to get help, only to find that where his house used to be is now a large crack in the floor from where an earthquake hit. You sprint to Buck's house to ask for help since his muscly figure would help greatly, only to find that everything he owned was destroyed by a flood, and that he lost an arm in a hurricane and now he is moving out of town to a homeless shelter.

You close your 3DS. There is too much destruction to recover from. You never play Animal Crossing again.

Maybe trees swaying in the breeze?

This. I would love for the wind to pick up and the trees to start swaying. And I would like for the villagers to comment on it, maybe shivering and saying autumn is drawing near or something like that.

But maybe not just the trees. I would also love to see movement from the wisteria on the trellis, from the flowers, even from the bushes.

And I would love to see not just rain, but drizzle while it is still sunny and the wind has picked up. Heh. I can already imagine a villager taking out her umbrella. And when I talk to her she responds with that 'nervous' emoticon and says something like: 'I am so confused, l'il hare! It is sunny but raining! Make up your mind, weather!'
