does anyone care abt my new plans to (once again) redesign my acnh island?
mmmmm probably not but i did sketch the whole thing out and make notes.
luckily a few of my builds get to stay or just be moved around instead of like. having to be completely demolished (though i already demolished and moved a few things anyway)
anyway katt's farm and my farmer's market that i run for her will stay. i might move a few more things around (i already fixed the orchard, it was way too big and difficult to navigate around) including where her house is and all that so that i can free up some more real estate for other things and pathing.
behind her farm is going to be roald's Adventure Rentals. all of the tents, grilling/cooking stuff, swimming gear, bikes, that sort of thing. it'll extend onto the beach and have a little like. shower area or whatever.
behind him is the river mouth--which, i'm returning to the basics, y'all. i'm simply making ONE MAIN RIVER that connects the two river mouths (east and southwest) and then having a couple offshoots in some areas for ~decoration and fun~ and then a single pond.
across the river is going to be this double/triple cliff setup for vivian and the museum. the museum at the top, and in general all with an artsy fartsy fancy outdoor seating area and coffee shop/extension of brewster's. vivian will be around that, and there'll be like art and shit.
to the left of her will be maddie's concert festival area. some rides and festival snacks and stuff, and then a main concert stage for maddie to perform at. (it's what i originally had for her, but it was crammed into a tiny area that was difficult to walk around and didn't look very nice, so i'm expanding it and moving it onto the secret beach at the back and that area instead).
south of that is going to be shep's rustic haberdashery and beauty salon combo. hats, fancy accessories (like that display case thing), mirrors, makeup, and then also like. ~fancy drinks~
northwest is going to be up a cliff. that'll be goldie's bakery, which i already have built but have to move and reconfigure.
west of that is the sunken shakespeare in the park. i've already successfully relocated it twice now. it used to be in front of resident services, but that got annoying so i moved it to the left, but THAT got awkward/annoying, so now it's in the back in a little sunken area.
west of that back up on the cliff's is going to be maple's bookstore.
south of that and off the cliff will be poppy's crafting shop.
to the east of that will be dobie's already extant antiques shop, which i'll have to reconfigure and move around a little bit.
south of poppy will be a nice pond and nature area (which will also be in all of the empty space around the island--nature, flowers, trees, etc.)
south of that will be punchy's snack/grocery shop, and the already extant sushi restaurant and fish market.
to the east of that is the river mouth
and to the east of that is in front of resident services, where i'm going to move nook's cranny and the able sisters to be like a small town square/center that fronts up to the public beach area
and then we're back at the airport and back to katt's farm and my farmer's market.
tadah!
here's hoping i can actually commit and get this done.
i'm FINALLY caught back up to real time on this island AND i've completed every single nook miles stamp achievement that there is to do. so now i'm playing every day like i normally would and not really time traveling anymore. even though it would be a relief to do so because of all the fucking houses and buildings i have to move and all the bridges and inclines i have to demolish, which is taking a while bc i can only do 2 things/day.
ANYWAY.
there we go.
i'm keeping everything simple wrt terraforming and i'm going to STOP being afraid of things looking Too Developed like a city or a real town. i've been obsessed w making things look natural, but i'm NOT GOOD AT THAT and it's DIFFICULT TO BUILD THINGS LIKE THAT
so i'm going back to the almost original terraforming of my island (not quite, but basically) with the two river mouths connected, one pond, etc. but i'll be adding in little details and making things unique.
but there'll be simple square/rectangle pathing and actual PAVEMENT. actual STREETLIGHTS. and BRIDGES and INCLINES that look manmade rather than trying to be completely natural like i've been doing.
i'm hoping i stick with it and complete it and that it makes me happy.
also i want to make a sign for katt's farm but holy shit pixel art and especially pixel TEXT is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE
okay anyway.
