    What potential features do you hope will NEVER be in an Animal Crossing game?

    Oh... A 'build your own villager' feature would be incredibly terrifying. That would turn Animal Crossing into a game of Frankenstein. No. Just... No.

    What potential features do you hope will NEVER be in an Animal Crossing game?

    Animal Crossing is a giant bottomless void that can absorb loads of features - As seen by all the wishlists made in these forums. But lets think the opposite: What new kinds of features do you NOT want in an Animal Crossing game? Of course, there's preexisting things people might not want...

    List of ideas that could make Animal Crossing enjoyable for years and years

    I remember thinking up the multiplayer town idea quite a while ago, even before New Horizons came out. It is forever my dream feature... Of course, choosing who you play with is key to how well it would work. (I wouldn't choose you, I'm afraid ;))

    I would love to experience a modern 'classic' Animal Crossing experience

    I'm not sure I want a 'classic minimal' Animal Crossing in HD graphics. But I do want the next game to feel slower and more relaxing, where things take longer to get unlocked and upgraded. More specifically, I'd rather make sure each day has something interesting to look forward to. In past...

    List of ideas that could make Animal Crossing enjoyable for years and years

    I have my own ideas for a long-lasting 'dream' Animal Crossing game as well: -There is a loose story with a mission for the player. The town you start out with has a sense of longevity to it, as if it were withered down over time. It has an issue of trash coming from a neighboring town, and the...

    Currently Playing?

    The last few days, I discovered a PC game. I usually don't play PC games, but this one is bizarrely unique, as if SimCity met Slay the Spire. It is called Against the Storm, and it is wonderfully fun and addictive. I see is as a 'settlement builder roguelike', if there was ever was such a...

    What are you hoping for in the next animal crossing game?

    This is just me... I want the next game to have an air of mystery to it, with all sorts of secrets waiting to be discovered that no other animal crossing game has ever had. Or, to describe it subtractively: I do NOT want animal crossing to end up following the pokemon route, where it's just the...

    When do you think we’ll get the next animal crossing game?

    Sorry, but that's not true. New Leaf DID have villagers do surprise visits to your home, just like in NH - Completely identical manner, too. 1688141118 I'll say this as well: In New Leaf, how timed visits worked were ANYTHING but ideal: Villagers would either ask to go now, or do a timed visit -...

    When do you think we’ll get the next animal crossing game?

    The next game will probably come out on the next next console, probably in 2025 as a safe prediction. I will, however, not be getting the game on release, and will wait until the brutally honest reviews prove to me that they fixed a lot of the flaws of New Horizons. The big one is definitely...

    Should the next Animal Crossing game have a story?

    I think a loose kind of story would be helpful in the next Animal Crossing. I'd like one where the town you enter is in a grim state, and you get to bring it back to shape with your own ideas. It doesn't need to be overly complex, but a town with hints of a backstory would work wonders. It...

    Tips after Flattening the Island?

    I just flattened my island recently - It no longer has cliffs. However, it still has replacement waterways and a natural look to it. I still haven't figured out how to decorate it, though. How I recommend the process is to make sure there is replaced scenery to each part you flattened, even if...

    AI-driven actions and dialogue?!

    https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/04/surprising-things-happen-when-you-put-25-ai-agents-together-in-an-rpg-town/ This interesting little research project boggles the mind. It isn't animal crossing, but it screams of potential if implemented properly: They could take all the...

    What sort of gimmick/theme do you want in the next Animal Crossing game?

    Another gimmick I'd love to see: An entire separation between clothing templates and design patterns. The issues with new horizons is there's an unnecessary number of clothing items due to all the color variations between them, and that since they have custom textures, they always make any...

    Animal Crossing, Hard mode..?

    I've tried various restrictions in Animal Crossing, and making a 'Hard Mode' just to make the game hard isn't very fun. Instead, it's better to base such restrictions on taking out parts of the game that do make the game unfun over time. My latest town does have restrictions, but they have...

    What sort of gimmick/theme do you want in the next Animal Crossing game?

    One other gimmick I thought of: Make all the non residential buildings customizable. It would be a true fusion of Happy Home Paradise into the main town of animal crossing. The town you begin in starts kinda shoddy, but when you unlock a building upgrade, they ask you to design the building...
