How do we fix Animal Crossing? Hard mode: no relationships

>>375779760
Fucking release it on the switch, gimme those fun minigames shit from the Gamecube version back. Co-op.

I wasn't aware that Animal Crossing needed fixing.

Add more shit to do at night
Multiplayer that isn't just butchered single-player but with a few more people
More minigames like the Roost in New Leaf and the ability to ask for quests from villagers
More villagers

I really want the mobile one to be good.
It most likely won't be, but it could easily be amazing.

City planning. AKA, mark where the residents can build their fucking houses.

>>375779760
There should be an option to have your town be online and have friends join whenever without the long loading screens interrupting anyone who is already in the town. Knowing Nintendo and their awful online, it won't happen

They need to focus on gameplay over shopping/fashion. They wont do that though, because the games are popular with women and all women want to do is shop and dress up.

>>375779760
Bring back the comfy aesthetic of the Gamecube version.

No exclusive items that you can't re-order from the catalog. I fucking hate this so much, especially when Harvey adds a million items and it's impossible to collect them all.

>>375780871
They were obviously planning on making an Animal Crossing for Wii U, which is why they made all the HD models, but since the Wii U sold like dogshit they didn't bother. The board game was so the models wouldn't be wasted.

modify the real time feature , 12 years to get all the things is retarded

Different environments like tropical towns, more urban towns, forests and canyons.

Every town can be vastly different.

more to do if you feel like playing all day, instead of just for your daily things.

less punishing just because you don't play every single day like an insane person.

Get rid of the fixed camera and log roll effect.

Give us a fully immersive town to explore with a camera that can be controlled by the player, allowing them to view their surroundings from different angles and zoom levels.

>>375781546
it might just because of my ADD, but the way AC is set means that every game would be a month of obsession and then burnout where I dont pick it up again, and then restart a new town when I come back to it a year or so later.

then again, perhaps AC is meant to teach patience and restraint and I am not the right audience.

>>375781529
Also, make the overworld as if it's the Mario kart 8 village.
And maybe add a forest park to stroll around.

This shit right here.

Make it so the player has control over who moves in or out. Instead of just one villager randomly moving in, have three or four submit a request to move into the village. That way the player can have a choice about who moves in. Also, have the player mark areas on their maps where villagers can build houses instead of the villagers placing their houses anywhere.

Don't let villagers move out without speaking to the player first. Or make it so if you keep a close relationship with a villager, they'll never ask to move.

Get rid of grass wear or make it an optional thing we can turn off.

Much more consistent visitors to the tent. And make it so the tent is always up. It's ugly when no one is camping. Have the tent's flap open if the tent is empty and closed when someone is in there.

I just hope the amiibo cards have the same effect on the switch animal crossing. I have all my dream townie cards. (gators). I hope they add more gators so I can have a all gator only town.

I would also like to see more furniture interaction like the hockey table able to play air hockey with someone or darts with a dart board, etc. Also goes for town props.


More multiplayer content/interaction.

Better villager personalities that also depends on species.

Would be great if they added the option for villagers to move in with you in those extra rooms after you expand it enough.

An inventory system that isn't absolute dog shit.

Make the interactions with furniture more meaningful: i.e. if I interact with a coffee maker let me walk around with a cup of coffee. If I use a computer let me go to a little desktop with a game or two and a browser. Maybe villagers give you chores which require you to interact with some item (instead of asking for an apple they ask for a piece of toast)

Also split the town up better. Put in a larger city which has most of the shops and whatever night life there is, then have a suburbs area with most villager homes, then have a forest/beach area that has a few rustic shops and houses, and you can do your bug catching/fishing/digging/relaxing there. You can choose to have special events in the city square or in the forest area, and they can both be managed with new projects

Finally make villager interaction more meaningful. More unique dialogues, more events, etc. Maybe certain villagers will be sitting in their favorite spot, and you get unique dialogue when talking to them there

>>375779760
Max 30 villagers with unique dialogue and personalities

Some sort of job system

Make sending letters actually mean something

Stinky dog butts.

I've always wanted the towns to change and for their to be a bigger focus on agriculture/horticulture.

Imagine towns having climates and different geographies. New Leaf's new town layout was fucking amazing because it made the ocean so much more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. What if your town was on an island? A peninsula? Or maybe you can choose the traditional cliffs on all three sides style? Or New Leaf's?

Now imagine climates. Longer winters? Longer summers? A town where pine trees dominate, or palm trees dominate? A town where certain plants flourish and others cannot survive. Tropical, cold-climate, etc. And now imagine that your villagers reflect the climates. More reindeer and bears for cold climates, tropical animals for tropical towns.

Of course I'd also want more plants and diversity to match new climates.

>>375782779
this anon gets it

>>375783176
>And now imagine that your villagers reflect the climates. More reindeer and bears for cold climates, tropical animals for tropical towns.
If you do have a villager that doesn't fit well with the climate, they would complain occasionally about the cold/heat or whatever. That'd be a nice touch.

>>375783098
more

>>375783531
>reptiles in cold places always have thick clothing and their houses are full of heaters

- introduce cooking. Cook your neighbor's favorite meals and more ingredients are available from shops
- have a backyard where you can BBQ shit. Can invite neighbors and friends. In backyard, there are tables were you can play minigames by yourself/with a neighbor/ with online friends. It can be something like scabbles, something simple like snake and ladders. Whatever.
- terrace addition to your house because why the fuck not
- bring back the balls loitered around town
- bring back the dump
- make the ordinances balanced. With ACNL, there is literally NO reason to pick the other ordinances that's not Beautiful Town
- more design spaces
- more jobs available [ex: can be a policeman at night dealing with non-neighbor thieves and catching neighbors planting those pitfall traps/doing suspicious things (ex: Neighbor of personality X stalking neighbor of personality Y)]
- bring back Celeste's constellation crap
- no more piss ugly PWPs like that fuck huge tooth and those zen stones that do absolutely nothing
- playing kite with neighbors???
- make AC even more like wilderness. The place doesn't really feel like some animal rural forest
- have neighbors have family (ex: a mother squirl with her two sons). They have their own schedules. The kids sleep early, while the parent can be seen on their terrace having coffee or doing something else. Doesn't have to be for everyone. Some can be all alone in a house. This gives more ideas for neighbor requests like the kids want to play with you with mini games, while the parents asks for more serious tasks like those shitty fetch quests
- a bicycle for the villager where neighbors (kids, bros, females neighbors for those goddamn furries) can sit and hold to your back while you ride the bike around town
- playing sports with neighbors (badminton, tennis, ping pong, whatever)
- money trees so the island can get a fucking break
- different containers for insects. Those glass cases you can hang on your wall like some insect expert

>>375783705
- if they aren't going to let us manage where a new neighbor will place his goddamn house, atleast make the neighbors have a favorite/preference. What I mean by this is
>some neighbors like cats will prefer places close to bodies of water so they will likely plant their house their
>the neighborhood weirdo prefers isolation. Will likely plant house in a corner or somewhere else with fewer neighbors
>others will be casuls and fine with everywhere
>etc

I'm running out of shitty ideas, op.

A better weather system. How cool would it be to see a massive wall cloud approach your town, and then walk around during the severe weather?

Even just subtle stuff like puddles forming or god rays poking out of clouds would add a lot to the experience.

>>375783705
- they can also implement boondock games. I remember when I was living in a literal mountain, the games the kids played was something like you have to hit a corn beef/coca-cola/beer can with a slipper. Fucking hilarious, but that's how it was in literal wheres

I would love to see the villagers take some initiative. Pulling weeds, planting trees, picking fruit, ect. Leaving the guy who just moved in to make the place look nice is kinda dumb.

Also, weekly job board type deal. (i.e Stitches needs 3 bass for a cookout by the end of the week)

>>375783913
Yes, seriously. Be careful what you write to them, they will talk about it to other people in your town.

>They were obviously planning on making an Animal Crossing for Wii U, which is why they made all the HD models
I'd believe this, but honestly more because of the short-lived "Animal Crossing Plaza" (which I believe had practically everyone from New Leaf) rather than Amiibo Festival. It really seemed like Plaza was meant to lead into some bigger Wii U project, but got canned for one reason or another.

maybe you have to buy a boat in order to go further out into the sea to fish for better shit and to jump out and dive
being able to do that with friends online in your town would be GOAT

Yessss the small details that characterize the series and keep it impressive

>>375780236
it will definitely have micro-transactions, but I'm hoping it's F2P at least, because I'm never going to buy Super Mario Run
I'm hoping the reason it was delayed was because they're going to make it compatible with the eventual Switch game they'll hopefully come out with

Perpetual towns.
If I can just visit any of my friends' towns even when they are not online then it would be perfect. That would add legs to the series in such a substantial way.

Sure, more personalities, more original writing per animal, more items, ways to customize things, etc are good, but the series needs a huge addition like the former.

>>375785468
holy crap. A very detailed/fleshed out world similar to BOTW and has multiplayer/online capabilities would be awesome. People will bitch tho. They'll say "oh great, so since BOTW has been a hit, everything will start getting the BOTW treatment"

>doesn't contribute to PWPs
>anon, get me this. anon, get me that
We should be able to run them out as well

>>375785834
I considered that, when making my post kek
it would just be cool to have hills and whatever in the town and also to add everything from HHD, in terms of being able to create a garden space and to decorate shit outside of the house, as if it was another room, putting in a pond, or a moat of some kind
I still want everything from the Animal Crossing art style, just a bigger village and no loading screens between going into the shopping area and taking a boat out to the island would be cool if it was far away, but you manually ride the boat yourself

What the AC series needs is the ability to leave the game on good terms. The ability to tell the game "I'm going away soon" would let you say goodbye to all the villagers and leave Isabelle (or someone similar) in charge. Months/years later, when you return to your old town, you'll be welcomed back, instead of being greeted with weeds, roaches, and angry villagers saying "It's been over 29 months since I last saw you!"

it always bugged me that if you have four villagers, and of course you can only use one at a time, the other villagers are nowhere to be found. It feels lonely looking at their houses and finding no one inside or close

>>375786316
this would be very nice anon, I really wish I could do that with the other games and I always stop playing forever after missing a single day, because I just can't be bothered watering flowers, once I've got the golden watering can too.

>>375786316
I'd honestly just be happy if they implemented selling your town off right from the beginning like they eventually put into New Leaf. I deleted my town something like 2 weeks before that update because I didn't want to see my abandoned town in disarray (and I hated my river layout anyway).

>>375786316
It's called the "Keep the Town clean" Ordinance. You can leave for years and the town will remain perfect. I've had a perfect town since I got the gold Watering can back in release year.

I miss my town. The update was fucking rad.

>>375786316
What's the point though? In NL you can continue the game after being gone like it's nothing. It's of no consequence either way.

>>375782319

they could easily implement this with games that have multiplayer, since they can restrict online, so people will buy the online multiplayer versions on Eshop when they come around

Give you some way to easily get rid of residents instead of forcing you to wait a month or more for them to move ignoring them the entire time, and even then they just refuse when you outright tell them you want them out in the sake of "Forging a friendship with you".
Let you choose where houses are placed, or at least go back to the signpost house system, the fact that people spent hours laying down paths or making gardens just to have someone move in on top of it is ridiculous.
Expand on water exploration. I want to be able to swim outside of the boundaries to reach The Island (Give Kapp'n a home on it or something and say he's retired), give me little caves I can enter where special fish and insects spawn in.
Far more storage/inventory slots, if I want to hold onto all the stuff that's missable in New Leaf I need a minimum of 3 fully expanded houses including their separate mail storage and storage drawers. This isn't even including the entire museum's display spaces. I think the new update to New Leaf expanded this but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Tool/Utilities section in your inventory. You shouldn't have to waste a third of your inventory just carrying your essentials around, especially when it means you can't carry much back with you like fruits or beetles/sharks and it takes multiple trips.
Some sort of "Terrain design" slots in the Able Sister's shop so you don't have to actually waste special clothes design or flag design slots on them and you can never change them or your entire environment changes its look.
Make characters characters again instead of personality types. Yes, they each have some very slight difference, but smugs never stop talking about their bottlecap collections of their insane fascination with trains and it gets aggravating.
Either get rid of grass degradation or have some way to easily pay someone to restore it all, having a mud village for playing consistently is idiotic.

desu i like that it's comfy and based on collecting shit, so just more things to collect, more games within the game, etc. It doesn't need to be fixed, it can just have even more optional goals, the whole idea of the game is you just do what you feel like. mite be interesting to have something like cooking or more complex gardening

>>375779760

>>375787704
I'd be happy if they could just include consoles again and have it tie into the virtual console games you have on your system

I came up with an idea the other day thinking it would be cool if umbrellas had more of a purpose besides fashion. During rainy days there could be a small penalty to movement if you aren't holding one. To make this fair you can hold your umbrella in your off hand, and your fishing rod/bug net/what have you is held in your main hand. Since you're technically using your items one handed they should be a little more challenging to handle. This could be implemented as a dedicated umbrella slot in the item screen, but I think it would be interesting if each hand had their own slot and could use any item, maybe enabling other item combinations in the game.

I think in general I'd like to see more game design choices like this that makes AC feel like a real world. I don't mean real as in like our world, this is still an escapist game after all, but I want more details and actions available to the player that make the village seem like a place you could actually live in as opposed to glorified garden. I think the first AC's game feel was closer than its sequels to the Boku no Natsuyasumi series of games, and I think it should have gone more in that direction.

No city gimmicks, no island gimmicks, no multiplayer gimmicks.

Just focus on making a good village, with good furniture, good villager dialogue, good villager quests, good festivals/holidays.

That's all I ask. Animal Crossing has gone the way of uncharming gimmicks and high-quantity low-quality content just like Harvest Moon. Both of them need to cut the fat and return to their charming roots.

smaller cast with unique dialogue for each character, rather than set lines for each personality

>more cities and places to visit
>the ability to place items outside

>the ability to place paths without using a pattern
>removal of grass deterioration, period. It doesn't need to be in the game.

>>375788898

just don't end up being in a relationship with an animal

>>375789252
I think I'd be able to handle villagers randomly leaving if I felt like I really built up a friendship with them and we really bonded. I selfishly keep all of my villagers around and made sure to freeze the game so no one can leave my village if I decide to start playing it again.

Better Character creation, with the option to be a animal yourself.
You actually assign/hire Villagers to do the village/shop duties ("Efficiency" and services they provide varying on the type, Like Jock being better Cops and making L&F get more and rarer shit and less Pitfalls spawn, and Snotty net you rarer but more expensive clothes in the clothing shop), with the ones who been doing those duties now being attainable as normal villagers (That are always THE BEST at the job they used to have) with the exception of Isabelle (Still Mayors Assistant), Nook (Still the big economical cheese putting you in debt with home renovations) and Porter (Travel and Online), this would help differentiate different players towns and make each feel more unique.
