Oh yeah. I planned quite extensively. I was going to include screenshots of the plans written in my IPhone notes but its so many screenshots that it's more economical for me to just copy and paste. My phone says I created these two plans in mid-January 2020, but I know I was planning before then too. Here's what I wrote:
Island Name; Bermuda
Characters; Monday (M) [MAIN]
Quote; The pride is in Bermuda!
Ladybird (F)
Shol (M)
Monica (F)
Olive (F)
Noodle (F)
Quote; Désolé!
Odd (M)
Zane (M)
Theme: Pink Exclusive. Like Bermuda in ACNL, All pink flowers excluding tulips because theyre too bright, random patterns in the flowers, can be laid out however as long as two flowers of the same type are not next to each other. Peaches as town fruit. Section of town can be dedicated to all flower variations and fruit free types in rainbow order. Pink paths that look like they would make a brick or concrete footstep noise when walked on, likely the same paths used in my NL town (since the announcement previously made QR paths would be valid in NH), [GET THE QR CODES OFF OF THAT JAPANESE WEBSITE DONT FORGET MONDAY] dirt paths for forest themed areas (one wide) but kept limited, as novelties. There dirt paths would lead to small areas with natural or white furniture and small presents, i.e candies, bubble wands, pinwheels or similar items,,, preferably a present somewhere around town (near Ladybirds and Odds???) . If PWPS are an option, the bell, lamppost, white bench, instrument shelter or other similar PWPS would be preferred. The town will be light and not have too much of a storyline aside from a royal(esque) system amongst player characters, with the Leader at the top of the hypothetical food chain. All characters should have fully expanded houses so that 100%-ing furniture is easier. near Monday and Shols houses will have a fountain around 5-10 spaces away if an option, path going around it. No spruce trees in the entirety of the town as they would be too dark to match the rest of it.
Villagers; O'Hare, Molly, Wolfgang, Apollo
Northern Hemisphere
Island Motto; The faith in pink, the faith in Bermuda!
or: Hazy August Night theme like Oak Bay ACCF, Apples (preferably perfect) as the fruit of the town, densely planted. Bushes and clovers everywhere, a lack of solid paths, rather, broken dirt paths that just /vaguely/ guide the player where they need to be, over grown feeling, weeds/clovers dotted around but not overwhelmingly, spruce trees heavily populate free land. If PWPS are an option, log bench, stone tablet and statue fountain or similar projects would be wanted. if mushrooms are featured (or better yet, the acorns from ACWW) they would be utilised and placed around town. If this theme is chosen there will be a bit more of a story to Bermuda. Villagers would all be in one area of the Island except for Molly, who would be isolated from them all. Her catchphrase would be "Where am I" "I shouldnt be here" or other such phrases that someone does not think they would hear in such a game. Everything else would be Fairly light, aside from player quotes. There would hot be a rainbow flower section, however an area would be dedicated to all fruit trees types. Would use campfires as seen in promo art.
Quote if chosen theme; The warmth and safety is in Bermuda.
Villagers: O'hare, Marina, Apollo, MOLLY, JUNE, coco, wolfgang
) which meant that I had to change a lot of plans once I actually got around to building the island, but looking at these two maps together I'm pretty surprised by how much of the original design I kept, even down to the specific furniture (which we'd only seen in trailers at the time). The main difference is that there turned out to be a lot more space that I didn't account for. I also changed my mind on the villagers based on how the models looked in-game. I'm very happy with my island now!
and somehow i really like how its coming along now although i feel its not 100% yet, specially my beaches 🏝
