Note: This thread and also our island is a WIP

Island Name: Anomaly
Resident Representative: Remy
Hemisphere: North
Native Fruit: Cherries
Present Fruits: All of them (in equal amounts!)

Island Theme
We're mostly going with our system's agreed on group aesthetic, which is alien/weird. Though some system members have their own personal touches around the island. Our color pallet is mostly green with some reds/blues.

We are still working out what to do with most of our island, so stay tuned ;w;

We don't time travel!

Residents

Island Representative

Remy | They/Them | Plural
Still working on the lore for them. Like us, they're a system, which means they're multiple people inhabiting one physical body. In our case we're like this because our brain just never figured out how to be one person and here we are.

So everyone on the island knows they're a system, and we like the idea of them being an alien changeling or something along those lines, since we do actually consider ourselves to be one as a sort of identity thing, so it would be nice to represent that in our AC character.

Villagers

Past Residents

Dreamies

Resident Notes

• Muffy, Bam, Puddles, and Ribbot, and Molly are currently permas.
• If Cherry moves out, she's promised to our friend.
• We'll most likely give out villagers for free as long as they're going for a good home!
• In terms of species, we also kind of want a Monkey or Octopus although we can't decide on which.

More info will be added about residents in the future, we plan to add villager bios once we get a couple more dreamies.

Goals
In progress:

• Complete layout of the island with paths and terraforming, add more water.
• Work on rock garden.

Secondary

• Rework the garden area to the northwest, look into selling extra flowers.
• Figure out what to do with orchard.

To Be Done

5/1/2020, Happy May Day!

Fronting Today: Blix and Aegagrus​

Weather: Cloudy​

Hot Item: Birdhouse | Tiki Torch​

Turnip Prices: 125 AM | 175 PM​

Visitors: Kicks​

Campsite: None​

Blix: The first thing I did this morning was the May Day event, which I was successful with! I failed the first time to get all the bell vouchers, but managed to get everything the second time! I enjoy puzzles like that, so it was a blast to front for, and Rover was really cool!

Aegagrus: Pointing out too that yesterday while we were blurring we wound up making a bunch of outfits including a scenecore one and because Blix likes scene culture we didn't take it off, so if you're wondering why we're wearing a rawr shirt with a Gir hat instead of our usual alien garb that's why.

Also we found a glitch doing this that caused our hunger to reset each time we left the house until we realized we could just save and quit then come back in to fix it.

Blix: *eats in house and then rushes out to smack a tree and it bounces back*

Blix: And then, Puddles seemed upset today. She talked about how she wanted to be seen as more relaxed and wanted to take up gardening, so I decided to give her some Yellow Pansy seeds since we had a lot of those and I just bought wrapping paper this morning! I may get her something tomorrow too if I'm still fronting.

Ribbot and Bam also seem to be getting along, which is great! They got into a fight shortly after Ribbot got here, but today they were sitting on the bench in the plaza together, which was really cute!

Blix: I talked to Isabelle and she said the island had too many trees which gave the island too much of a rural feel, but that might actually just be because of the orchard which I just calculated and currently has 90 trees! There aren't that many cherries since they're the native fruit, but I'd say that's where most of the tree density is. We don't really plan on removing trees though...

Aegagrus: I mean most of us in this system are "feral animals", so an island where the lead designer is a system full of them that's about to be expected. Even if it is in a neat area.

Blix: Speaking of the orchard though, I did finish it! It's basically two rows of trees (except for the native fruit, cherries, which only have one) with some wildflowers on both sides of each tree so that the fruit falls to the side. That way it's easy to pick up! We can make a lot of money selling fruits :>

Blix: Then Aegagrus started to cofront and we started working on the bamboo farm and hybrid flower garden while discussing island layout. I ended up making like a flower valley!

The custom tiles were modified from something we made a couple weeks ago but never used! I thought it would be perfect for this ^w^

Aegagrus: While we were doing that, I was doing some thinking on the house layouts. While Blix's help, I calculated how to space the four houses that are off to the side of the "neighborhood". Here's the map...

Aegagrus: The square plots to the side of the houses are where we were expecting to move the houses. You may notice our house is among the ones that are being moved, and we're planning on actually moving where Muffy is (the topmost house) and moving there in her place. We moved Bam already since we want to get started terraforming to the east. Since we don't time travel, the process would take about five days.

We'll also move the campsite at one point, probably to the east where the houses to be moved currently are.

We are also thinking of moving around the shops, but that's not finalized and we're still discussing it.

When we finished we also wound up moving a bunch of flowers for storage, and I wound up liking the way it looked. Here's a picture:

Aegagrus: We're still working on everything and making everything how we want it, but overall I think we made a lot of progress today.

I absolutely love everything about your town. The flag is so cool, the aliens on your cheeks are badass, and I'm really excited to see the lore you all come up with!!!

Fronting Today: Mimi
Weather: Clear
Hot Item: Bird Bath | Frying Pan
Turnip Prices: Didn't check
Visitors: K.K. Slider
Campsite: Broffina

Mimi: Switched in woo

The first exciting thing was we did have a campsite visitor, Broffina

She seemed nice to me, and I visited her a couple times throughout the day. She taught me the card game and I won a couple times, and then later in the day I decided after thinking about it to invite her over. In the card game to decide though, I lost.

I was mulling between diamonds and clubs, oh well. It did make me happy to encounter someone knew though, even if she wouldn't be staying permanently. I hope she enjoyed herself.

Then I went ahead and moved Muffy's house, I was torn between a couple different spots, but I decided to go for the one that she was actually standing near!

Which does need a little terraforming and work, which I did shortly afterwards. I was also wearing a shirt Blix made last night, so that's why there's a different shirt.

Talking to Muffy she reminded me the HHA would be doing their grading tomorrow, and that coupled with how tomorrow I'd be able to move my home, I decided to spend most of my time redecorating. Shoutout to Ribbot too for also reminding me.

The rooms were pretty much empty before, so I did all of this from scratch. I tried to incorporate feng shui as much as I could, but I didn't always have enough items. The rooms are main room, bedroom, insect room, oarfish room, and upstairs cafe.

In the evening I sat in for the K.K. Concert with Ribbot, Cherry, and Puddles.

Then, I decided to gift some clothing to some of the villagers because while going through our clothes I noticed a lot we didn't really need. First off was Bam, who I gave a sweater, he looks real cozy in it.

\

Next up was Muffy, who I encountered singing. I gave her a silk tunic, admittedly we didn't have too much that fit her style, but I wanted to give her something anyway.

Last but not least was Molly, who I gave an energetic sweater to. I might have to try to get a better picture tomorrow, but she kind of reminds me of Frisk wearing that.

I did want to give a dress to Puddles too, but since she was watching the concert I wasn't able too. Tomorrow if I'm still up I might go ahead and do that.

The rest of the evening I went around the beach for star fragments. Blix decided to visit someone else's island yesterday for a meteor shower, and so there was a lot of fragments (which was also how I was able to get the galaxy flooring!)

The sky has been pretty clear on our own island too, I wonder if we'll get a meteor shower of our own soon

Fronting Today: Mimi
Weather: Rainy
Hot Item: Log Wall Mounted Clock | Campfire
Turnip Prices: 109
Visitors: Daisy Mae, Leif
Campsite: None

Mimi: Still me, I was cofronting with someone a bit but they'd rather not be listed.

So we hit gold for HHA! I forgot to put the plaque up, but that will probably go with the rest of them in the attic.

Though we didn't do too much today because most of the thing we want to do we still need to wait a couple days for. I got the standard amount of turnips, but it looks like we'll be taking a bit of a gamble this time. We did also go ahead and do the basic terraforming around where we want our house to be and set all that up so it'll be ready tomorrow.

The area still needs to be cleaned up and we need to do a little more with it, but we decided to place ourselves at the highest level with an incline, all of which was payed for by us. Tomorrow, we are set to move in!

The next ones to move are Ribbot and Caroline, and we'll move Caroline's house next since we want to get started with working on that area and we have plans to move the campsite there to the east on an upper incline.

Then the orchard fully bore fruits and so I collected all those, with a picture to show how big the orchard is.

We may have to downsize this thing though since we ran into some problems with managing it, or maybe replace the flowers with something that won't spread. Saplings could work, they wouldn't grow anyway due to the space and we've got plenty of fruits. We can make 100k selling this full batch and we got plenty more in storage.

I also had some fun with the rain. I noticed how the sand got compact from being wet, which reminded me of the sand in Florida every time it rained.

We also caught Puddles singing which was cool! Cherry also joined in. Something worth noting is this music area was created by Eleanor and has been dubbed "Jamzilla". I have no idea why she made this area but

So long time no post but I did want to come in and post some updates on what we've done around the island before going back to daily posts tomorrow! The reason we didn't really post was because we were mostly just working on things here and there. We may post some of the images we've taken in the past week on here tomorrow or at some point, but for now here are all the things that have sort of changed around the Island. The intro post will be updated accordingly too later...

Also worth noting we reached a four star ranking!

Here is our current map:

We also changed house locations, although it currently hasn't had the outside decorated. Except for some flower dumps

We did decorate the outside of villager homes though! Some of the highlights are Bam

Molly

And Ribbot

You can tell to we were playing around with custom designs and made a "star path" to go over the stone one.

The shop area also got redecorated!

We then made a playground area

Fishing spot

Have a WIP Cafe

We've also been working on the island entrance but it's nowhere near done yet

Moving forward we kind of also plan on adding some alt accounts to our island, which we may or may not do tomorrow.

Fronting Today: Blurring All Around
Weather: Sunny/Clear
Hot Item: Didn't check
Turnip Prices: 145
Visitors: Wisp
Campsite: Paolo

Lots of updates today! We finally added our alt accounts onto Animal Crossing and got them all set up, which gave us more of an idea for island lore, and also got a new villager!

In terms of island lore, we think we really like the idea of both our main and the other accounts being alien visitors to keep with the space/alien theme. We'll probably play around with the concepts of them being characters a little later, but for now we have the general idea. Not gonna lie, we're not entirely sure what we're going to do with journal and if we're going to try to keep updates within the lore or within us as the player haha

So first off we'll talk about the new residents, the first one we registered this morning was Bug.

You'll never guess what Bug's theme is

So we made Bug because we do love insects and kind of needed a place to put our plans to get every insect collectible. We've kind of already got Bug's aesthetic down. For personality we see Bug as being more cheerful and childish. The pattern on their face is an ant on the forehead and wings on the cheeks.

Second up is Radio who was made in the evening.

Radio's design is much more temporary compared to Bug, and we're still kind of working them out. We think they look a little too close to our main character at the moment, but here is their first look. Radio we're going back and forth with what we want to do, but we do want them to be associated with the alien watch station in some way.

The gang also visited Redd and got some fake paintings, Remy got the real one earlier. though

Now for the campsite visitor...

\

Paolo! We decided to invite him because after talking to him a bit we grew attached to him and asked him to move in, and he did!

So who moved out? We had an issue with four normal villagers causing a lack of variety and wanted one of them to move out, and that one that we went with happened to be Ava.

Admittedly we haven't had too many villagers move out, but after some consideration, we want variety and we want to meet as many villagers as possible.

We're trying to find a good island for Ava right now, and just made the thread.

The sky tonight also looked very nice
