Animal crossing thread
Kinda snazzy, a little too different at first. That 5PM is fuckin good though.
We all know none of these tracks matters, the only thing that matters is them LATE NIGHT/EARLY AM TRACKS
Post qr codes you'll use online.
I'm gonna ask again: Should I preorder New Horizons on Amazon or Gamestop? Going to a store on release day is not an option as I only get 1 day off a week and sadly that day is a dentist appointment before the game's released.
Gamestop has a poster.
Amazon doesn't. Take your pick.
>Horrible last thread
>even gayer thread before that one
what a shameful weekend, here's hoping this one is actually a comfy one.
fuck, didn't mean to link that one.
he doesn't have a based retailer that would sell him the game a couple days before the 20th.
Why do we hate these eyes?
We? Those look fine to me. Although they'll never be as beautiful as your eyes user
Cant wait to terraform my island to be maximum comfy.
I prefer the similar circular ones with tiny pupils that make you look like a crazy person.
Does the airport always have to be at the bottom?
THEY'RE UPSIDE DOWN AHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GOING CRAZY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Honestly it seems a tad too busy. WW/CF, new leaf and most of GC were pretty relaxing
Ok guys post
>your most hated villager
>why you hate them
>and can they redeem themselves
For me it's rod, he stole peanut from me and there was a large amount of coincidental evidence that there was even more behind those actions. Like he would send me letters saying he went to her house and shit. No he cannot be redeemed only the net is what he'll get.
My Kmart stopped selling games a few years ago.
I don't like what this image implies.
no clue. Probably not.
Symmetry isn't comfy.

alright then, where would you put your mountain then smart guy
Do we know the limits of terraforming yet?
>people with autism have no soul
>symmetry has no soul
Pottery.
Based.
Yes, niggers are not permitted to terraform.
I welcome the changes. I'd be disinterested if this entry didn't shake things up, since I could have essentially the same experience in any of the other games.
How do you feel about the other series the Animal Crossing team develops?
It's great, I love it, go back to your Splatoon thread this one is for AC.

Don't care for it, but it might be better in game. Some vidya you don't appreciate the music fully until you play a bit.
The hourly themes seem way too loud and I'm not a fan of that weird synth instrument they're using. Seems like it'll get grating pretty quick. I want some chill guitar/piano focused tracks.
Imagine if they added a music change option where you could change the hourly songs to those of the past games. That would be a tremendous upgrade
Keep in mind you're listening to it without any of the usual background noise. It probably wont sound so loud/aggressive when you have a bunch of shit like bugs and footsteps making noise all the time.
Is there anyone who wouldn't exclusively play GC music?
It would be cool as a late game unlockable.
Me, I think new leaf has some of the best chill music for late hours.
is there a good template for these that has actual houses?
So who's heading down?
twitter.com
Really interesting, this is the most traditional sounding ac music yet. All the other works are quirky and off beat while this just sounds like generic island music. Its not bad in fact I like it but it wont be much of a stand out.
I'll just wait.
so whats stopping me from making my island a giant lake?
I really love the 9am music. Glad it turned out to be morning music.
There are probably some dumb limitations (because animal crossing). We just don't know what they are yet.
That's why I'm refraining from planning my island yet.
Im good on the piano for one game thanks. Pretty much ALL of New Leafs tracks had piano and zero synths
Never played an AC game in my life. I like DQ Builders style games where I get to build a home base/town/whatever and go on adventures, kind of like Minecraft, if Minecraft had scripted quests and whatnot on top of the open ended shit it already has. Does this game give me something like that? Or like what do you do?
The time it would take
Yes it could have the same "feel" as that. As long as you keep coming back and don't time travel it's a snowball of chill. Watch the direct to know what you do, it has a fairly basic summary, although it doesn't cover everything of course, just like 40% or so.
Its not really a builder game. Its a life simulator, but its not like The Sims either.
You basically start from nothing and work you way up VERY SLOWLY to getting a nice house and making your town the way you want it. Its a game you play to basically relax and chill out, not for the grind or for reaching some end goal because the game never ends and you dont really have to do anything.
As a little kid i always tried to hook my bro filbert with that pink whore but she was a racemixer dating that rat jock
second one is alarmingly similar to persona 5, particularly the guitar
What? It seems like a villager showing her neighbor the museum's collection. It's cute and wholesome, what darker implications do you speak of?
Lol I like the face painting

I'm going to be honest here but what's the appeal of Animal Crossing? It's fucking boring.
Coomer when?
If you've played it, then it's just not the game for you. If you've not played it, go fuck yourself.
I did played it, that's why I claimed it's boring. I like playing calm games but this game feels empty even with the neighbors.
Did you play it for more than a week? The game fills up over time. At the end of the day though it's just tastes, like not everyone is gonna like a certain food for example.
>your most hated villager
Hippeux
>why you hate them
Because he's an ugly piece of shit that moved at the literally worst spot in my town
>and can they redeem themselves
Yeah, by killing himself
Is this mid-animation or does the pattern stays around the head like that? the only think i could see myself doing if thats the case is a predator face.
Imagine this, you’re playing a game, any game, a very hard one too like guilty gear or ninja gaiden black. You keep getting your ass kicked and you’re frustrated beyond reason then once you’re done barely beating the current missionyou just want to do something that isn’t tasking, demanding or cause any further frustration. Then you put in animal crossing where you can unwind and relax by fishing, donating to the museum, decorating your house and doing tasks for other villagers. There’s no demand for skill or punishing mechanics that forces you to be on edge at all times and you can go at your own pace and do whatever you please with the occasional special activity or holiday thrown in at certain days.
It’s just a really relaxing and easygoing game where you don’t have to worry about a thing, like a virtual zen garden, it’s supposed to bring you at ease and sooth your mind.
Agnes
Ugly bitch ruined my flower garden and paths as well as the entire vibe of my town by looking like a fat fuck in blackface
She cannot redeem herself
>That last one
Holy shit I hope that's an hourly track it's so good
Plz give us at least a 15 villager max. I'm begging you.
Only fags will terraform, move trees, and not use a random number generator to place their villagers
Based and soulpilled.
>"don't play the game" - real animal crossing fans
HELP ME NIGGERMAN
>the older games aren't real
Rocket. A big ugly pink gorilla. I tried for months to get her to move out but nothing I did worked. Eventually I finally got my wish using the ghost to force her out. I hate all gorilla villagers but Rocket takes the cake.
yes
this type of generation won't be possible sorry. You can't terraform the beach meaning the areas where the rivers enter the ocean will be unchangeable. And there is only 3 formations those can be in.
user, put on your tinfoil hat, because it's time for Mr. Owl's Wild Ride.
That's not the museum. It shows fish and insects alongside each other - while the insects would be in more of an open pseudonatural exhibit, with trees and plants, they wouldn't be in with the fish, who have their vertical aquarium containers, and there definitely wouldn't be landforms with waterfalls coming off them like that in the distance.
But that's definitely an artificial ceiling, with light coming through the box-like shapes you can see there. They're higher than the regular eyeline of any Animal Crossing game, so they'd never be seen in gameplay. So, what does that mean?
We knew that Animal Crossing was always a little simulation with bottle settlements that exist in isolation - we've played the games. But this image implies that this is not only the case for us, but for the in-game world itself. In the universe of Animal Crossing, everything is a simulation, either a digital one or a physical one, and its scale could be anything from standard to the size of a shoebox.
It's a conspiracy.
The museum in New Horizons has fish in the river with bugs
BLASPHEMY
Oh well, that was fun while it lasted.
user what the fuck
what are you playing to kill time?
>only gets one day off
Wagie wagie get in your cagie now now dont be lazy.
You guys think i should preorder or there’ll be copies in stores
Then its not for you simple as. You dont have to like every game
That 5pm track sounds exactly how 5pm feels irl.
You tend to get free shit for preordering, but do whatever you feel is right.
I'm playing the game of life. I've decided to try whittling, and so far it's pretty fun but it kills my hand. I'm using a shitty stanley knife at the moment so I'm hoping that a proper wood-carving knife will make things far smoother.
I've also just finished playing the Link's Awakening remake. Too short to justify the price, but otherwise pretty fun. I never played the original. The dungeon maker was disappointing. I like the chibi artstyle.
So I've seen some people wonder about what makes the GameCube soundtrack sound so special compared to the other osts.
I think a lot of it comes from the synths that were sampled such as pic related.
For example, the lead instrument in 5P.M. is sampled from the 8850 where it's called 70's E.Organ and the raspy synth that can be heard in 3P.M. etc is the 8850's Cheese Saw. A lot of the drums are also sampled from it.
From whence comest thou the notion of synthetic instruments from GCN?
you know how in NL you cant place things in certain places where someone might put their house when they move in? It'll be something like that
I keep hearing about this game all the time. What the fuck this is a children game
you have to go back
I drew this cute Villager. I love the art style of Animal Crossing and want to draw a bunch of different human characters from it. I am still a scrub, but do you think people would pay me to draw their characters?
i just want blathers to go in dept about the fossils i bring to him
its been shown you can either ask him for info or skip it
with that style? yeah, looks good
I always use those eyes
>or skip it
Based.
>ah yes let me hear it for the hundredth time again
shows how trash you are, in general
what are you, a girl?
i've never played these games
can you give your character mustaches/beards etc or do all main characters look like kids?
there are a few you can buy. Depends on what you want. I think you might be able to draw one on with facepaint but I havent actually watched the clip for the feature
>can you give your character mustaches/beards
you apparently can now but idk how true that is
Face paint is just cheeks and forehead. It looks pretty dumb.
thanks lads
Get it digital. It's a game you'll want in your console at all times, putting in the cart would be so bothersome. I'll buy a physical edition later if I feel I need it for my collection.
well there go my dreams of a goatee. Guess im playing a girl
is isabelle a dog
very excited, my switch might finally be shipped today or tomorrow

By synth I don't mean that these sounds are all "synthetic", it's just the way these devices are called. A lot of the sounds on them are recorded or "sampled" from real instruments, obviously.
I assume you want proofs so:
5 PM lead: files.catbox.moe
3 PM lead: files.catbox.moe
(Might sound a bit different cause the hardware itself is different, even if the sample is the same. Music on GameCube AC is played back in real time on the GameCube's sound hardware using short instrument samples, much like a MIDI)
Forgot to add that these were recorded on an SC-8850 emulator and from in-game or whatever
I know what a synth is, what I'm asking is how you were able to identity the instruments. just recognize them?
Yeah, that's how I did it at first. I can also rip the samples from the game and compare directly.
goatees are in the game. they were shown on something posted to the twitter to do with the new tourneys
Very interesting. Thank you for the samples.
Out of interest, do you notice any reference to the instruments in newer games?
You should make a youtube video detailing thej and doing a demo or somesuch
>Out of interest, do you notice any reference to the instruments in newer games?
Nah, not really, sorry.
There's entire communities for this sort of thing, though, so others may have documented modern AC already.
There's a couple of spreadsheets here with all sorts of findings, including AC stuff, so give those a look as a start:

This is honestly terrible. Way too many instruments there's no quiet moments. What the fuck. Pre order cancelled
I feel like shit
I don't know how to play, I don't know how to pass the time. I have time off work til the 23rd and nothing to do til 20th

Probably not yet. Though if you practice and grind anatomy and proportions, then maybe.
All I want is to play Animal Crossing. I hope corona-chan doesn't kill me, bros.
Based. Agnes is fucking shit - moved in front of my town hall. Of all the spots she could've picked and she plonked it there. I was seething.

this ugly fucker soured me on duck villagers
her and her ugly eyebrows were in my town the first two games and wouldn't leave
remove her
>your most hated villager
Freckles
>why you hate them
I thought it was a dude. Also, she's having tantrums when I hit her by accident. Caroline and Skye are way nicer and prettier than that thing. I already have PTSD from having Joey in Wild World, I don't think I'll take any duck villagers anymore.
>and can they redeem themselves
HELL NO!
Seems like the consensus is that the two new villager types we need most are lizards and bats.
Fuck yes.
Yes, especially if the bats stay out later at night. I'd probably take one of each.

Here's an art tip about coloring. Try shading your colors with another color rather than just sliding the color picker closer to black. For example, shade the orange hair with a color that's sliding closer to red. Or with the skin color, shade it with a color thats closer to pink. It's a little bit of work figuring out when the colors look right to use as shade, but it produces less muddy looking pieces
Not sure how I feel about adding limbless animals, but I think they should break the "special character can't overlap with villager" rule. Turtles, hedgehogs, and owls would make great villagers.
Especially considering Tortimer is dead now.

If I had to pick one I'd be torn between Draco and Rose.
Your face is a twitter meme.
Seriously though, the old fucker's gotta die at some point, right? I know he's a tortoise, but come on.
Might unironically buy the swtich just for this game
There was a tortoise that lived in Tonga for 189 years, Tortimer will be around for a while

I wonder what kind of reviews this will get considering time travel might be more difficult or cut entirely this time. How are reviewers supposed to judge the whole game based on a few ingame days.
>your vilage is literaly a moon
cant wait
whats time travel?
You can't. It's just that kind of game.
my favorite is the 9am theme but it sounds like it should have been 6pm theme

Watch the song select be a island wide song select just to fuck my idea up
absolutely none of these things are dealbreakers, grow the fuck up
Setting the clock ahead to play at certain times or on certain days instead of letting time flow normally.
I really don’t care for that synthesiser.
that would ruin the entire point of this fucking game
why would you do that?
twitter.com
No, I'm pretty sure you had to put your own music in.
I was an impatient child
That's new. Hoping the radio station is cool and doesn't get repetitive too fast since I like when games have them and it's a large part of the reason I liked some GTAs and FNV.
Really getting a Footsteps in the Dark vibe from 5 PM
My first island will be Delfino.
Not that I've seen. Most likely, we have the two layers of raised ground as that limit. I'm curious if they can be right on each other, or if you need a tile of space between the cliffs.
Its assumed we can't do anything with the beach, which is probably a safe assumption.
I'd imagine that the river-mouths are possibly to adjust by editing the last tile of river... but I haven't seen anything on it. And its possible that they're not movable.
I feel like the airport and services building are stuck where they spawn as well. But, I would like to be pleasantly surprised.
My first island will be Pen
I wonder about the qualities of double height cliffs as well.
dude the quiet moments are for going into your house
animal crossing has always been that way
every single thing that gives me one answer makes me wonder another three fucking things, i need this game.
I really wish people would stop spreading this shit without noting its just a dude recreating bits of music we heard in direct/demo not an actual rip of the music. Should be obvious but apparently 90% of people commenting on them are fucking smooth brained
Whoops, forgot the link. I specifically meant the HyugaFX channel
What do you want your starting town to be like? I'm probably going to reset until I get Fuchsia.
Idk, I don't hate a lot of animals but I might reset if I get some really bad ones. Otherwise I give no shits about layout
