Everyone needs a bear in their life 🧸

made some nice houses for ianto and nounours

[pepprs]

acnl is a superior game to acnh in almost every way except the graphics. it’s actually making me mad

[lesboymetaknight]

I use to think it was hard getting back to New Leaf after playing New Horizons, when I restarted my New Leaf file last year. However when I was greeted by my old villagers, and the hourly music it felt very comforting, like home.

my beautiful and wonderful friend gave me his old ancl cartridge so guess who started up on that grind earlier

in the face of animal crossing pocket camp closing, can i just say. i don’t understand why new horizons was like that. after acpc the next animal crossing game should have been amazing and yet,

acnh feels very stale very quickly imo. it has the bones of an animal crossing game (unlocking shops, filling the museum, etc) but the villagers are sooo samey, and it feels like there’s fewer interactions and games between them than there was in acnl. (and i know this isn't a new criticism but it feels unfinished. harv's island co-op in the final update feels like a weak alternative to letting lief, kicks, katrina, etc. have physical stores on your island.) but i do love having the ability to build and customize your own furniture, to an extent. the new furniture designs are great and i especially love that villagers have more versatile clothes options. sheep can wear shirts!! everyone can wear hats!!

but also, acpc has WAY more furniture and clothing options than acnh. and i love the way the villagers work there: they have a set personality and a set style. and you can help them give gifts to other villagers or give them fashion tips, and your relationship improves more (im pretty sure ?) if you pick the option that’s The Right Style. it makes it feel like you're actually getting to know them, and it gives a little bit more variation because a cranky jock FEELS markedly different than a cranky cool guy

13 things I notice between acnh and acnl

Creds of dividers to: @anitalenia & @xxbimbobunnyxx

I was an avid fan of the animal crossing series, I had my chance upon getting the mobile Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, then I started playing New Horizons on the switch. After pouring in 300+ hrs total completing my island design and building and also getting the DLC to play with, I tried out and finally got New Leaf on the 3ds after to start playing. I knew that Animal Crossing New Leaf was the predecessor to New Horizons, and I was intrigued and interested in playing to see the differences and experience the game that had nostalgia of my childhood. I never got a 3ds but spent my childhood watching youtubers with their 3ds games and all the fun they had. After playing New Leaf for 2-3 weeks straight in, I noted that there were some differences, functionally and story-wise with the details. Both games are enjoyable in their own ways, and offers players options to consider on which game installment to play for — New Leaf for the coziness, interaction, nostalgia, and pacing — or New Horizons for the amount of fun you can have with growing, crafting, designing your island, and new graphics.

🍀1. The way that stores are introduced are different: In New Leaf, the stores are separated in another street to unlock and visit. In new Horizons, the clothing and nook store can be built on your island, however the other stores are separate from your island. Kicks, Harriet, Leif, Reese and Cyrus are all on Harvey’s island that you can visit on.

🍀2. In New Leaf, Timmy and tommy swap places in working at the store on different days you visit. Whereas New Horizons has the two twins both greet and run the store when you visit.

🍀3. Small difference but notable is that you start off with the title as mayor in New Leaf game, while in New Horizons you are invited to live at the island at first while having the most active role contributing to the island.

🍀4. The way you start off in the opening of the game is a bit different, in New lead you’re greeted by Rover on the train you’re boarding. In New Horizons you’re at the airport greeted by the twin raccoons, Timmy and Tommy.

🍀5. In New Leaf, the customization of some items and creative liberty are kind of limited. Whereas in New Horizons, there are a bunch of options to creatively design your island by placing furniture, changing colors, and designing your own home. Additionally New Horizons has the DLC (happy home paradise) which also allows the function eventually of capable of designing your villagers homes on your island.

🍀6. Both games officially have a separate installment that focuses on designing homes, ran by the happy home academy ppl. Happy home designer is the predecessor to Happy home paradise. To which, Happy home paradise has more options, items, and creative choices to edit, place, and change things when designing the homes.

🍀7. In New Leaf, Tom Nook is the owner of his own store that offers home expansion and customization for the player. Whereas in New Horizons, he resides in the office and works with Isabelle and is seen as a higher up giving tasks and directions to the player at the beginning of the game. However he still stays true to his og role in the previous game, where he also offers home customization and expansion to the player in New Horizons. (Regardless, you will always be in debt to Tom Nook wherever you go…)

🍀8. In New Leaf, Isabelle’s brother appears to introduce you to check out the HH showcase and has a more permanent role. In New Horizons he doesn’t appear as frequently and is not a stationed npc.

🍀9. The interaction with villagers plays a crucial role in New Leaf. If you never talk to a villager, at some point they will decide to move out and decide their moving day. Whereas in New horizons, the only way for a villager to actually leave is till they also question whether they should move out and you would have to give them an answer to stay or leave. They won’t just willingly leave in the end though compared to New Leaf.

🍀10. In New Horizons, you can craft, customize the color, and get DIY recipes from the beach or villagers. Whereas in New Leaf, new furniture and customization can be purchased in Reese’ store and customized by her husband Cyrus.

🍀11. The feature of multiplayer and online depth is included in both games, however New leaf Online services no longer are supported as of this day. While New Horizons has multiplayer still available on the switch. With online membership on the switch, New Horizons can allow the player to travel to visit other players’ islands and visit random islands through dreams. In New Leaf, for the online services, you had the HH Showcase to be able to visit other players’ houses locally near you and other features to host and visit other islands through dreaming and traveling thru the train via internet.

🍀12. In New Leaf, there is a possibility to chance upon a tree full of perfect fruit of the fruit you have on your starter island. These perfect fruit variations have a higher value than the regular fruits to which you can sell for a more heftier amount of bells. There are also the existence of durian trees, lychee trees, and mango trees in New Leaf if you visit the tropical island by paying Kappa to take you there. Whereas in New Horizons, you won’t be able to grow perfect fruit, and the options for fruit trees include just peaches, oranges, pears, apples, and cherries.

🍀13. Lastly, the dialogue and options to interact with villagers are a bit different in the two games. In New Leaf, you either have the option to talk to them or they bring up a request that you could fulfill and complete. While in New Horizons, after getting closer and talking to the villager you have the option of gifting them. In New Leaf, there isn’t a direct option to gift them when you go talk to them, but you can gift them through letters sent through the postal office. In both games, villagers will reciprocate and show happiness after being given a gift or completed a request by gifting the player something.

Overall, once playing through both games, it is clear that they both have different strongpoints while carrying the og similar traits and function. It’s interesting and satisfying to see the evolvement of functions and added improvements from New Leaf to New Horizons in terms of creativity and variety of choices in items, design, and collections. Both platforms had online services to allow interactions with a growing community, so whichever game you resonate with the most you can definitely enjoy either game to live out your animal crossing adventures 🌱🌼☘️

i want a game thats kind of, mostly like acnh with all its customization and yes the fact you can keep the villagers hostage bc im evil like that. but with all the charm and coziness that acnl seems to have. listening to the music from that game or looking at screenshots from the game, i get this overwhelming cozy feeling of both like, a warm summer night and a festive winter day. i never got to play it bc i was still tiny when it came out and then when i got interested in ac they stopped selling acnl, also i have no clue how to use an emulator lol.

for some reason it reminds me of like, falling asleep mid-day while reading and laying in the sun. or like, going out for a walk while its raining and seeing all the worms start to come out of the dirt. or just going about your day completely normal until you see 1 little thing and youre suddenly transported back into childhood as nostalgia washes over you. it feels like buying yourself a little snack after work, or like making dinner using vegetables you grew yourself. like home brewed coffee. nl tastes mostly sweet but with a bit of bitterness and saltiness. nl would taste like toast with jam on it.

of course, thats just a romanticized version of it but comparing that with the real experience i have with acnh is just kind of... i know acnh seems to be the most hated game at the moment but honestly sometimes it feels like chore. some days i dont even talk to my villagers and just go straight to the dlc. the flowers multiply too fast and its really bothering if you only want a certain flower color or they spread so much theres not enough room to place things. i use my house as more of a storage unit than something to decorate. it feels... inorganic, far too sanitized (and thats coming from a germaphobe). if i were to compare how thinking of it right now makes me feel and compare that to how just looking at acnl makes me feel its like...

having a job thats technically easy but draining, and then after a long day you see a motivational poster as you leave. feels like throwing your old clothes in the trash instead of the thrift store. its like those shitty 5 minute crafts with the incomprehensible script. its like a starbucks or dunkin donuts, its not bad tasting but you would only get it on your way to work, you wouldnt sit down at the coffee shop and eat there. it feels like having to pay $4 for 2 tomatoes. so... it just feels corporate and clean. not hating if youre all about that acnh capitalism life!!! it just doesnt feel right. animal crossing is supposed to be like, THE cozy game but nh does not feel cozy.

idk, maybe pocket camp is that game? its a mobile but it came out inbetween nl and nh, im just not sure if i wanna spend date on that

[schoolidolnecromancy]

so. animal crossing villagers. I started a new town in acnl specifically so that I could make anemone and aoife player characters. here are my thoughts for the main characters as human villagers:

anemone is the mayor who gets along with everyone. she does every quest for residents and helps manage aoife’s flower breeding program

aoife is an overeager villager who constantly petitions for projects. she has a flower breeding program and makes a lot of custom clothing designs

delphine is a reclusive villager who mostly comes out in the twilight hours. she catches bugs, and has a large collection of the creepiest ones in her house

beatrice is the quiet villager who comes out in the dead of night. she likes to harvest fruit, and will leave it in neat piles outside of re-tail

marley is the grumpy villager who has her house right on the cliff. she spends most of the day fishing, and keeps her biggest catch for every type of fish

and as animal villagers:

anemone is a rabbit with piercing green eyes. her house has a LOT of plants and a piano (plus a skeleton)

aoife is a hamster that looks like a jack o’ lantern. her house looks halloween-y all year and she has special dialogue for it

delphine is a goat and is mostly dark red. she has fangs. she has a custom routine where she avoids being outside as much as possible in the daytime

beatrice is a koala and is mostly light purple with white accents. she has a custom routine, which is that she sleeps from 2-6am

marley is a wolf with messy brown fur. her room, which is pirate-themed, is rearranged every day

island notes:

there are two designated tree-filled areas; one with many fruit trees that serves as an orchard, and one with a lot of dead trees, pine trees, and stumps that serves as a haunted forest

the town has spooky public works projects like a "haunted" well, an "eldritch" carved stone monument, and a your-face-here stand that aoife redesigns to be a different kind of scary thing every so often

there's a flower breeding project area that keeps the town supplied with appropriately-spooky-coloured floral decoration

the clothes shop has a bunch of custom idol outfits that aoife insists the gang all wear for "concerts"

Some things I want to return for the next Animal Crossing game:

ACGCN features:

- generally more robust villager interactions such as prompting villagers to give you chores, expanded and edgier villager dialogue

- randomly spawned soccer balls or basketballs and other play items

- MORE OBVIOUS ACRE SYSTEM

ACWW features:

- unique holidays

- villager hobbies and multi-villager interactions! Again, just more robust villager interactions

ACCF features:

ACNL features:

- the shopping strip!! I loved that all of those things were kinda in their own spot

- Tortimers Island and the mini games! Maybe mash it with the concept of the original ACGCN features where you have your own shack and a couple island unique villagers

ACNH features:

- I love everything about the customization/terraforming aspects of this game and the only thing I would really change in that regard is better items

- Harvs Island, maybe it's a part of the shopping center area like New Leaf and City Folk.

Please please please Nintendo please focus more on fun with this next one, ACNH just felt like a proof of concept and while I LOOOOVE the creative aspect of it, it just isn't that interactive or social!!

New leaf was honestly the peak of the animal crossing community. // none of these screenshots are mine.
