Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.
Weather Events in ACNH
- Thread starter Lavamaize
- Start date
all of these sound fun, and id love to have them in new horizons, but i don't think i want them as events or conditions, just something like seasons in new leaf and other games. i don't wanna bother with dead branches or shoveling snow, but im fine with intense weather lol. i just really don't want it to become a pocket camp thing where we have to collect things or do something in order to get an item.

I love the idea of thunderstorms and items washing up at the beach, but I agree with donnellcrossing. No events please. Just regular weather in the seasons sounds much better. I also really like all of your other ideas too. Any new weather is fine with me.

Solar (and lunar) eclipses would be incredibly cool to see in ACNH.
This is a really cool idea! All of these would be awesome (except maybe not the ones that could hurt the villagers ) I especially love the thunderstorm one. Who knows, maybe eventually these will be incorporated into an animal crossing game.

Im a space nerd so being able to see solar eclipses or milkway's and stuff would be so cool to see. I'm cool with all of these as long as nothing damages the town
Items and craftable materials and such washing up shore is a great idea. I?m already loving the weather conditions shown in the trailer, especially the details of the leaves blowing in the wind! And I can just tell I?m gonna LOVE winter in this new game. I really hate winter in new leaf.

Hhh. hewwo??
I really love all of these! Especially I like the idea of events that change more than just how the game looks...fallen branches from a windy day, stuff washing up on the beach both would be a great way to mix up your day-to-day tasks. I like the idea of shoveling snow off paths too, though it might be nice if it'll melt eventually anyway.
Some other fun stuff along those lines might be if it hails, the player needs to have an umbrella out or their character will do some kind of flinch animation every now and then. Maybe there can be 'heat waves' too, where your flowers will need more water? I know this would all be more 'work', but honestly I'd love to have random little tasks to do like that, like weeding the town.
I also thing it'd be fun in general to have certain clothing items on during certain weather or your character will perform some kind of animation (it could be constant, but I was thinking more every once and a while, like tripping on a bad luck day). So jackets in the winter, short sleeves in the summer, raincoats or umbrella in the rain, etc...I think it'd be nice to really have an 'opportunity' to put together different outfits over the year! Each type of clothing item (pants, shorts, jackets, shirt, long sleeve shirt, etc) could have some 'rank' for warm-ness, and you'd reach a certain warm-ness to stop displaying that animation. Nothing crazy, you could still wear pants and a t-shirt in the summer, but pants and a jacket might be a bit much.

Hey, personally I'd love to have to maintain the island due to extreme weather conditions like thunderstorms and heavy rainstorms. But that's just me.

I love this idea. It'd be cool to also see slight tanning and the ability to apply sunscreen to protect themselves from the extreme heat. Also, perhaps in such conditions, the need to drink to cool off will be dire to avoid something like a mild heatstroke.

Ooh, I like the thunderstorm idea. All of these are unique, especially see-ing the galaxies. I also kinda want distant thunderstorms. I don't know why, it's satisfying to see thunderstorms off the horizon with a rainbow or sunshine streaking everywhere. Cumulonimbus in New Leaf at August did a good job demonstrating on what that would look like.

As others have mentioned, seeing the wind blowing the leaves on the trees in the trailer was awesome. I hope we get more unique weather variations to help the game feel fresh from day to day. Coming from NL, the game is looking very appealing so far.
