What are your hopes for the AC Direct and upcoming updates?

[azurill]

There was some datamines months back suggesting we might be able to expand the size of our island... I would love that feature announced, along with beach, rock, and river customization - Even if it requires having to reset my game file for it.

Also, room size expansions would spark my interest in the game immensely

If we could expand our islands I would hope for being able to have more villagers or some extra buildings,

I would love to be able to have room expansions. Some of the rooms are too small.

 

[Rosch]

Just to clarify, if I'm not mistaken, the "island expansion" is a misinterpretation of data.
Anyway, to recap datamine info we had from previous updates:

• Rover has cafe dialogue (but it doesn't exist), implying he (and probably other special NPCs) visits the cafe.
• References to the possibility of customizing villagers house exteriors.
• Female villagers are set to wear the diner uniform and hula tops automatically. Older datamine also point to villagers wearing hospital, school and swimming gear.
• Evidence of fence customization.
• We still have other unused tools: SpnR (SpanneR), DStk (DishStack), GlDr (Glass Drink), Cnut (Coconut), Pitc (Pitcher), Trwl (Trowel), & STWN
• Unused crops: Tomato, Wheat, Sugar Cane, Potato, Carrot
• Lottie had her "jingle" updated several updates ago. The Sanrio characters also had their melody parameter updated shortly before they were added back.
• Katrina and Shrunk had their params updated, much like Brewster.
• The Shrunk Funk Shuffle reaction is in the code. There was also mention of unused code of Shrunk teaching reactions to the player.
• Fortunes. Currently unknown.
• Unused weather patterns.

As for my hopes, I just want more furniture and items above all else.

What if the Brewster we get is just a gyroid version? You just walk in and see that.

(sorry I just merged city folk and acnl together, then called it a day, lol)

I don't have much expectations or speculations anymore. I like to stay a bit more objective when it comes to their updates but I am excited nevertheless. I would like more farming crops because having pumpkins year round is not too thrilling; I'm not an autumn gal. I also would expect new reactions since we have tons of blank spots for that. I find them amusing and fun to use.

 

[Meadows]

Gyroids
Custom fences
Crops
Shop upgrade (preferably adding leaf in the store with more furniture per day)
Old furniture sets from past games
More villager dialogue
House expansions

any of those added, and I will be happy.

 

[river]

Nook's Cranny upgrade PLEASE

 

[Rosch]

Will KK finally have a place to stay? Or is he still going to block the entrance of the Resident Services?

 

[Byngo]

two words; pleasantly surprised. a direct just for ac means its gotta be something fairly substantial, right??? now this has me hopeful that the supposed 5,000+ items discovered in datamines long ago is actually planned content

 

[Faux]

Aside from the news about the cafe --
Gyroids. And, more importantly: fence customization. Please.

 

[Venn]

Other than Brewster, I would like to see more QoL updates, and more community requested stuff.
I personally would like to see more furniture collections and such from previous games.
Pretty much, picking up some areas where it has been lacking.

 

[Byngo]

oh let us have unlimited storage, thanks

Dataminers found indication of a version 2.0 update in the code with the last update. It's possible this upcoming direct may be introducing us to the first look at v2.0

 

[Nooblord]

I din’t think I’ll be disappointed with the AC Direct. I know I won’t get everything I’m hoping for, but that’s always expected. Everyone’s pretty much listed the major stuff, so one thing I’m hoping for is to have the special characters from old AC games visit the roost. I wanna bother Phyllis while she’s drinking her coffee.

On the topic of emotions, I actually believe we’ll see Shrunk again perform at the Café (if there’s a stage, that is).

If The Roost is all fancy and 24/7 and has it's own wing in the museum, there has got to be more than enough space for a stage in it or something. It would be such a missed opportunity to not have KK move his concerts to The Roost

 

[Sheando]

I would like literally any other buildings for my barren island but that seems really unlikely. Optional extra villager plots, a new shop, custom buildings you could design from the ground up like in HHD……the only related thing I could imagine actually happening would be allowing us to design villager interiors. Please let me save Antonio from his empty white box.

 

[StarlitGlitch]

Trying to keep expectations low but am very excited for what we might get!

 

[Mr.Fox]

I'm more looking forward to who is coming in that Series 5 card set...

If it's just the NH 8, Dodos and Flick/CJ I'll be disappointed.

 

[solace]

Oh I completely forgot about villagers coming to our home! I honestly would be so happy if they added that, considering it was (allegedly) included already for some reason.

How could you forget that.. hee hee

Every time I go inside my house, I get flashbacks of Lopez entering my house. For some reason, he always visited while playing NL.

I was over it, but now I am begging for it back. More content. I want lockers. I want an ABD in my home again.

Bring it!

 

[Biancasbotique]

Gracie!....sigh*

 

[solace]

Gracie!....sigh*

Yes!
Bring on the real fashion! Please, no need for the dressing room.. so much dialogue.
Mable, I just want the clothes, babe
