The one year challenge

We're actually updating at a pretty fast pace so far. I'm shocked at how quickly I can name most villagers just by looking at the pictures and sprites on peoples' blogs.

Do post your villager lineups, guys! It'll make things a lot smoother.

That's really good that your doing it fast! When I get a new villager i'll let y'all know! I too can name most of the villagers just by appearance.

I can name a lot of villagers by their appearance, but not all of them. From your signature, I see Kid Cat, Bonbon, Stitches, Bunnie, Diana, Shari, Ollie and Barold. I'm not sure about the others. Also, I keep mixing up Kabuki and Genji and I have no idea why XD

Wow I am baaaad with timezones. Oh well, what do you expect from a 13 year old I suppose

I mean did the person who designed her think that was a good idea?? She's blue cheese colored and looks a little moldy and odd
There are so many cute peppies, including lots of cute peppy rabbits. But of course I got the funky one :/

Yeah, Pippy is a hot mess. Worst peppy rabbit for sure, though Gabi gives her a run for her money.

Central time is CST or CT, and I think it's CDT during daylight savings but that's not until March in the US.
By the by, I'd like to link all time zones to the same site for the sake of consistency.
 
One last post for the night:

I spent the majority of the day fiddling with pro designs. I'm a complete beginner at pixel art so getting anything done requires a lot of time and a lot of redos. I made two outfits for myself as well as a town flag. Amateurish for sure, but I'm pretty proud of my work so far. I'll post better pictures as soon as I unlock the QR machine.

Okay. I finally found a decent town, aside from oranges being the town fruit.
Starting villagers are
Ankha, Filbert, Tutu, Ribbot, and Gaston
 
Its technically past midnight. So I guess this is "yesterday's update" But still "today" in ACNL since the new day doesn't start until 6AM.

so Pietro finally moved in. His introduction made me laugh. Hahaha, I love this town name!

I also got Fang to move in! He'll be my 9th? villager and I look forward to finding his plot tomorrow :) So excited about this! And the fact that I got him for free only makes it better!

I also got some free carnations from parker. I gave them Chief and they brought some flowers with them in return. I don't keep flowers in my Cycling town since I TT so much there so I moved them over to hell. Right now I've planted them on the beach for breeding purposes (easier to breed there without worrying about a villager putting their house on them since I can't plot reset to keep my flowers safe)

Also, while I was on the beach I found Gulliver! He was going to Thailand. Such a cute bird! I wish that he were a villager... would love to have him in my town!

So I've taken the liberty of actually drafting up that master list.


On that note, Here's the first version of the OYC Master list!

I figured time zone would be a good thing to have so if anyone wants to visit or talk to anyone else, Person A will be sure that they aren't bugging Person B at some ungodly hour of the night. I also thought of adding availability hours, but that might get complicated and I don't want to force anyone to share their schedules if they don't want to. Do you guys think having an availability section is a good idea?

I added those whose URLs I found by scanning the thread, and used the friend codes you have listed on your profiles. I'll be adding those of you without URLs as well, but I wanted to start with the folks that do have one so they wouldn't disappear too far into the thread. If I missed you or have anything wrong, PM me! Also PM me with your time zone if you want that on the list.

My timezone is Pacific Standard Time if anyone wants to add that on there, and I also have Butch instead of Bruce :)

Anyway time for an update on Olympus!

I got to meet Canberra today. She seems cool and her house is in a decent place so she'll probably end up staying a little while.

The gardening store also opened up and Leif wasn't selling an axe.. hopefully there'll be one tomorrow so I can start working on Olympus a bit more.

Your design looks fab! I think you've done a brilliant job, kudos. It's very satisfying wearing something you've made yourself :D did you use the online design assistant to do your flag? It looks awesome ^_^

Just reading everyone's updates, can't BELIEVE we're already a week in! It seems to of gone so fast! I'm off to get ready for work soon, but I'll check back in properly later. The master list is look great too, I'll add a link to it in the spoiler in my sig. Have a good night/morning all.

Thank you! I actually just used a reference of an existing pixel bee and did it in-game. The text took a lot of trial and error, but once you get the basic gist of how to do pixel art in the context of the game it gets a lot easier.

It took me way too long to realize that you're supposed to draw the clothing flat and the game will wrap it around automatically. I felt like a moron.
 
I've been slow when it comes to playing just been rather busy with my college stuff but I at least try to purchase stuff from Nook and get fossils and such. I have 9 villagers now, with Lucy moving in. '^' If I plan to keep Sly and Cherry, I might cycle them to put them in better places if ever I plan on working on a layout for my town.
 
Muffy will be moving in tomorrow! ^_^
She's my favorite uchi.
Now, if only Pietro would move in...
It would be great.

pocky - I book marked your blog! It looks great so far, your Mayor looks so great :D Your art giveaway sounds exciting too, what a fab idea ^_^

Okay I spent like, four hours this afternoon planning out the lower half (or 'under the river' side) of my map. Cut down some stuff, planted loads, built a fountain. I'm sure everything will change around a million times over the next year, but it feels good to have some kind of idea of what I'm going to do. The top half is another story though, heck knows what I'm gonna do there :p

I didn't get a camper in my newly built camp site, which was a bit disappointing, but hopefully I'll get my first one soon. Didn't get a 9th villager plot, although that can take up to 7 days to start appearing so I'll try to be patient. Off to bug hunt now, cuddled up on the sofa with a coffee while watching hot dwarves fight orcs. Life could be worse! Hope you all have a great afternoon/evening

Maybe the Campsite is my only hope to get a new villager as of now. Though I have to wait until Saturday to get a villager if I build one today.
