Why is the grid layout in the Animal Crossing for GameCube so

>>377354332
>rolling log style
?

because it doesnt show the sky

>>377354332
>Imply rolling log style isn't more satisfying

>>377354637

This, combined with the N64 graphics and absolutely god tier OST

>>377354605

Basically where it feels like you're walking on a sphere

>>377354605
you can imagine the map built on a log and it rolls back and forth as you go north or south of your town, which is how you can always see the sky and the horizon on your screen.

>>377354332
>>377354637
the log makes it clear just how meager your existence is

deffo not comfo

>>377354332
I liked that it was easier to clean up the town and meet plant and tree quotas.

>>377354332

because it's nicer to look at

>>377354605
The map in later Animal Crossing games is actually constructed like a cylinder. It gives the illusion that the world is "rolling" behind you as you move around.

>>377354637

Why don't you want to see the sky?

The screen transitions subtly make the town feel bigger.

>>377354332

The thing I liked most about the GCN version were all the different seasonal events, Wild World replaced them with generic stuff, never played City Folk, New Leaf kind of brought them back didn't it?

Maps are literally laid out on a cylinder so that you can constantly walk up and down while it loads more, instead of a set square you transition to the other side.

Is it weird I'm still playing Wild World even though I'm only playing just to make sure my villagers don't move? I only play 30 minutes a day before work and I've already got the fossils, haven't gotten all fish, full upgraded house which I'm never paying off because fuck Nook, and haven't gotten all insects.

I feel like I'm hooked yet I've become numb since I can't invest as much time into it.

It did make it easy to tell where the boundaries of the acres are. It was annoying in the later games to have to count 16 squares and drop stuff to mark the acre borders.

>>377354332

tbqhwy never played animal crossing on gamecube and even I feel nostalgic for it somehow

>>377355223

>>377355382
Wild World is comfy.

That game got me through Hurricane Ike. My house lost power for three weeks while we cleaned up, so my dad let me charge my NDS in his car. I'd spend all day picking up shit and helping repair damage while playing Wild World at night. Recreated all the patterns they published in a Nintendo Power issue too.

animal crossing 1 was better in the all the intangible ways

HOLY FUCK

Late N64/Early Gamecube graphics were god tier levels of comfy. I really hated the trend toward hyper realism that Sony and MS took in 7th gen, but then nintendo's graphics started to look dated by comparison when they essentially repeated the gamecube era by keeping to the same style on Wii. The cutesy and heavily stylized graphics of the early 3D era just had a certain magic to it.

>>377355382
I have had this game since 2005 and still play from time to time. I generally just clear up all the weeds, play hard for about a week and then put it away again for a stretch of 2 years or longer before I get the itch to play it again. New Leaf never held my attention as long as Wild World despite being the technically superior game.

>>377356795
My enjoyment of the animal crossing series essentially looks like an exponential decay graph. The first game was fantastic, but nothing after has been able to keep my interest as long as the first. New Leaf was extra shitty to me because it artificially tries to extend your playtime by time-gating shops and services. The Mayor stuff was a decent idea but its not the spark the game needs.

Just be warned that I haven't put anything in there about this yet. I want it to be a secret until I've achieved parity with the previous version.

I'm actually restarting this project. I started a good while ago but I didn't feel like I was up to the task back then. I am now. I've rewritten about 3 months of code in 4 days. I'm almost at parity.

There's some old concept art, but the idea is there'll be (cute) monster and fantasy villagers. Ghosts, vampires, dragons, but all cutesy like in AC.

>>377358463
It was a clever trick when they used it in ACWW due to the limitations of the DS, and it gave the game a certain charm. It has gotten stale since though.

I agree with >>377358137 in that we need a fully adjustable viewing angle. Given that the Switch has two analog sticks this shouldn't be an issue.

How deep is your customization to the town?
Like you new in New Leaf you can build bridges and stuff like that.

>>377355961
>>377358751
That's how the map is laid out. That doesn't mean you as the player view it like that. From your perspective, the land is flat normal ground.

>>377358751
A lot of games do nifty stuff like that to help with performance. If you can't tell from the player's perspective, then why not do it?

Most first-person games don't even load maps and textures out of the player's sight. Rage was a good (or rather bad) example of this; turning your camera fast let you see the HD textures and models load in on objects.

Not really, you can definitely tell it's a rolling log. But it's a lot more subtle when you're close to the ground viewing it as the player.

>>377358807
Lel, good luck with that. It'd be easier to just take photos of textures, alter them into tiles and then run it through a brush stroke filter.

>>377358137
I'm really not sure about this. I kinda think that that wouldn't really feel like Animal Crossing.

>>377358995
>you can definitely tell it's a rolling log
Yeah. I fucked up how I wanted to say that.

A fully 3D Animal Crossing that gives you much greater control over town layout and building alongside more stuff to generally do and more meaningful and varied villager interactions would probably be one of the greatest games ever created

Because the cylinders fucking blow for setting down shit and it gimped the terrain to be flat as fuck and boring.

Fucking sucks that AC Switch will have the gay log shit and awkward-looking, lanky tall animals. And boring as fuck villagers/NPCs because we can't have kids getting scared by mean comments and actual personality.

I wouldn't mind if they radically changed the camera view so that it was a more traditional third person view from behind the character. That way villages could look more interesting since everything doesn't have to face the same direction.

>>377357635
keep your space dense so the area feels lived in, stylise the graphics more (brush strokes on the ground might lead to an interesting style) and get rid of that UI in the bottom left. Players can see what they're holding already and they'll learn controls early enough that having them on the screen constantly will get annoying. Keep us updated on this though man, looks very early days atm.

Would you like it if you needed to spend money all the time in animal crossing? I don't know how to do it but I think personally it would be more satisfying to get money that way because you're constantly spending it and holding onto it is a struggle.

>>377357635

I'd really like to be able to hang out and do stuff with my friend villagers. If there were stuff to do at their houses or if I could invite them into my house.

>>377358520
>(cute) monster and fantasy villagers. Ghosts, vampires, dragons, but all cutesy like in AC.
All my yes

I think there actually is a few fantasy style AC type games on the DS. Anyone know the name?

>>377359090
I think the graphics could be made more stylistic to match the traditional AC style, but I really think opening up the town layout and adding terrain variety could really push the series forward.

>>377359228
Now that I think about it I realize how much of a downgrade the log is. It was fine on DS but as we went into the Wii we absolutely should have had some interesting terrain. Imagine a village on hills or mountains. It feels lazy that we are just getting the flat shit.

I can agree it's better as a grid system but that doesn't change the fact that City Folk is the ugliest game in the franchise and that compared to New Leaf the world and houses look empty as fuck.

A big problem with New Leaf is that the villager homes can pop up seemingly anywhere they want.

Obviously they had to remove the default signs to mesh better with the construction system.

But it can lead to some disappointment... which could have been fixed by a simple "Housing Zone" constructable. Perhaps, even being able to sponsor to moving of present villagers to new points...

The main thing Gamecube had over all the other games was the script. Everyone is way too fucking nice in the later ones, where they don't really feel like neighbours but instead like best buds forever.

This is especially bad in New Leaf, where you can effectively choose your neighbours, so everyone ends up with your Bob, Ankha, and Marshall and there's no randomness to it any more.

>Aesthetically
Dividing the town into acres obfuscates the small size of Animal Crossing's towns.

Primarily, this is due to the perspective of the acre system. Viewed from a high-angle perspective, the tiles have their visible surface area maximized; whereas when viewed from a low-angle perspective, the visible surface area of tiles is reduced as they approach the horizon - the horizon created by the rolling log perspective.

In combination with the above effect, acres and fixity of the camera within them creates the illusion that each acre is larger than it actually is. This is subjective, so it isn't as clear as the last point. The boundaries of acres are fixed, both the player and camera collide with them. When the camera collides with the boundary of an acre, it ceases to follow the player. In effect, the camera defers to the acres rather than the player.
This creates the illusion that each discrete tile is more significant than it actually is. The rolling log perspective emphasizes the tiles which circumscribe the player as he moves through the space; while, in contrast, the top-down perspective emphasizes each tile within that space. This applies to the boundary tiles to a lesser degree, because you can't see what borders them in 3 of the 8 possible directions, so of course they're less significant.

Think of it in terms of Monkey Ball; you're not moving the monkey ball, you're moving the stage which moves the monkey ball in turn. The town is important, not necessarily the player. and the acre system emphasizes this.

Yeah it feels like you're on a plain not in a forest. The original forced you to always look at the ground so they made sure it was interesting and inviting. In later games they abandoned it.

>>377362261
It would be really cool if the village were bigger with different spaces dedicated to different things. You could have the main spaces where houses can be, you can have a group of two or three houses and separate them with an area where only trees grow, and you could have a more populated area maybe around a shop or town hall. And you could have special villagers who if they're in your city live far away in a forested area. Those people far away could rely on you more for stuff like deliveries. There could be large portions where it's just forest and you can explore them and find interesting things with new results from digging in certain areas.

>>377363191
It's also because Animal Crossing at its core is a very social game - online is great, but even the multiple players in one town and memory card switching in the GC wasn't really the way to go. It's very much a "watercooler game" where you tell other people stories about what happened in your town. Random, possibly disliked neighbours and such reinforce that.

>Functionally
The acre system makes it easier for the player to differentiate different sections of the town, as well as act upon them accordingly.

For example, my fucking boi Anchovy lives in acre B-2. B for my fucking boi. Acre E-4 is pretty popular. The museum is in acre D-1. It allows players to compartmentalize different features of their respective towns and form a clear, efficient attachment to "that" part of town.
Compare this to New Leaf. There ARE actually acres in the game, but without boundaries they lose their referential potential. Lucky lives near the waterfall. Town hall is near Lucky's house. Without clear references to acres, it's more difficult to say, "This is where THIS part of town begins and ends," and it's also more difficult to say, "This is a cool acre." Without boundaries and without a top-down perspective, the town becomes less comprehensible and smaller at the same time.

The acre system is also useful for knowing what you need to do where. Need to make acre A-3 prettier? Easy. How much prettier? Easy. Just count the flower and trees in that acre. It's fucking frustrating to do this in the rolling log system, I personally hate it.

Acre > rolling log, fucking fight me.

>>377362621
Yeah, script is a huge issue with life sim games. Killed New Leaf and the post-AWL Harvest Moon games (plus Stardew Valley) for me. Shit's bad when anime-trope filled Rune Factory became a breath of fresh air in the genre.

Reminder that all the dialogue in AC:GC was changed and beefed up dramatically by Nintendo America and the original japanese version was just as shitty as it is today.
The only thing that's changed is NoA never goes above and beyond to localize a game anymore.
Trinen and the Treehouse worked their asses off on AC:GC to localize it, adding in entirely new events and content, something they haven't done since.

What is there do to in NL besides complete my encyclopedia and public work projects?

Do you know Japanese or is there a source for that? That seems pretty drastic.

Fuck I was hoping it was just a patched ROM or something. I hacked my 3DS a long time ago so I don't even remember how to do anything.

Club Tortimer was international, so you could interact with the players on JP versions. And since a shitload of girls/women in Japan play AC, especially more lonely ones, you could try and score a qt nippon waifu with a little luck and Google translate.

Kyogoku: We really weren’t sure about Mr. Resetti, as he really divides people. Some people love him, of course, but there are others who don’t like being shouted at in his rough accent.
Iwata: It seems like younger female players, in particular, are scared. I’ve heard that some of them have even cried.

Kyogoku: That’s right. That’s why we were a little unsure about including the Reset Surveillance Centre at first. But just around that time, the Japanese government’s budget revision process was attracting much attention, so we decided to have Mr. Resetti’s department go through the revision process too. (laughs)

Moro: I heard that the assembly member in charge of the review asked Mr. Resetti, “Is it really necessary? Can’t we just reset?” and that, in the end, it was phased out. (laughs)

I'd like for there to be a sort of central hub in the next AC game where players can hang out together and stuff, I guess kinda like the town in City Folk except more fleshed out and with actual players. I also want a way to visit other people's towns that I don't know, like just a random matchmaking kinda thing, and have settings so that visitors can't fuck up your flowers and stuff.

I guess the newer games just feel too secluded too me, you can't really play with others unless you physically exchange those shitty friend codes save for the island which didn't really have much to do on it.

I also want those treasure hunts that random villagers left on the message board to come back, those were pretty cool.

>>377363918
Next AC should have "Hard Mode" where you are the mayor of boondocks town.

Not really into the idea of relationships, but I'd like there to be activities you can do with villagers that feel more like Mario party-like mini games. Villagers are roommates would be cool as well. If neither of that can be done at least give the ability to decorate the outside of your house similar to Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer

Probably she felt you were threatening her gamer identity cred by bringing up a staple Nintendo franchise she hadn't played, so on the spot she decided animal crossing was no good and that's why she hadn't played it.

Because girls have an unbelievable memory for petty shit, she probably felt the need to occasionally defend her contrarian opinion even though the conversation had passed and your opinion of animal crossing has nothing to do with her.

That is my best guess

>>377365258
Well shit. I always thought it was a glitch, but I just read that it was Nintendo's way of reminding you to save with a gyroid.

I still stand that it should be a default face option, considering you don't save with Gyroids in the newer games.

The newest real Harvest Moon game, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns actually have some fantastic dialogue and characterization.

If you haven't already it's a solid entry in the series worth checking out.

>>377365528
Somewhat. I wasn't aware that there was a random town option until just now because I didn't really use the Dream Suite, but you can't see any players there, it's like a separate snapshot of their town.

Like what's the difference between a vampire or a dragon besides dialogue referencing that they're a dragon or a vampire? It's okay if there's not anything.

Oh, that, I'm thinking personality, quirks and house decoration. I want the vampire to have a very, very creepy basement that you can get into,
but not easily. Not going into too much detail with this, it's far off and I want it to be an easter egg

Animal crossing is only fun to play if you have a girlfriend. I got new leaf and we played it together all the time. I would help decorate her town, trade, leave cute notes everywhere, send her mail, and just be adorable together.

Then when she became a cheating whore the game ended up being incredibly fucking depressing. It was filled with her notes, items, and other things like that.

>>377368919
Yeah, the first couple days are always the worst because they make you go through all of this tutorial bullshit, especially in the first one where they didn't try to hide the fact that you were Nook's slave

I do appreciate your posts

One of the main benefits of GCN Animal Crossing was the ability to specifically Ask To Do a Favor. Since Wild World you've only been able to say "What's Up?" which means you're essentially just guessing if you can help someone out. I liked the ability to be able to go run some errands if I wanted and go chill otherwise, it was just more convenient.

Grid style was good for town layout, it's not really needed anymore but it really helped for things like the Fountain saying "you have way too many weeds here". Maybe make a grid but don't segment the town with scrolling.

NL was overall pretty decent, the ability to build your town was very welcome, but the fact that your townsfolk were lazy shits meant that essentially you had no option but to go to the island and farm money to complete the stuff. More variety of public works and more things like the Bar which were used to flesh out characters is needed.

Main Street was what I thought was a convenient, decent idea, but ended up just being bad. It makes every town feel very samey because all the landmarks are stuck up in the street. I always just went to Re-Tail instead of Nook's. Let me build shops in the town like the Bar instead!

I don't really mind the loss of asshole villagers, the problem was more that none of the villagers had much to say at all. They only cycled through a few stock phrases. Jocks went from being bros to just being generic. The only time characters different or unique things was serving them at the bar.

Blathers needs to be un-cucked. I know they removed his specific text mostly because you could give him multiple items at once, but his information about the items you give him was the best thing he did. This honestly goes for the other NPCs too, they all used to have long character arcs you could help them out with but there's nothing like that in the games anymore. Digby is a literal non-character and although Isabelle is cute, in an older AC game she would have more things to say.
