Welcome to R. Planet's Dream Island tours!
Your very own R. Planet (the "R" stands for "Rn't you just happy to meet me?") will be visiting several of your islands and reviewing them here, in this thread. I will point out the best features of your island as well as posting pics so that the world can see what you've done.
Today is all about the very first stop on my tour of the belltree islands. NatsumiSummer's own...Tierinsel!
-----
First let's start with the map!
As you can see Tierinsel is an island that is well pathed out and all of the animal villagers live in a neatly packed neighborhood very close together.
I'd like to point out that this cast of villagers is pretty great. It's not at all bogged down with half a dozen typical dreamies yet many are still unique and interesting characters.
Okay as I made my trip around the coastline I found my first interesting sight. This cute windmill sitting atop this stepped hill. Must've been a pain in the ass to make that work.
Flowers are in abundance here. Especially on the western side of the island which has a few really pretty landscaping projects which have come off quite well. The waterfalls are just to die for. (Couldn't climb to the top without a ladder so apologies for the poor angle here)
In general this island takes a very minimalistic approach to inclines and bridges so getting myself in position was a tad tricky at times. But I get the desire to keep those things at a minimum.
A little farther to the east and we come across the secret beach which has been done up nicely and has a reversed natural incline added for ease of access down to the beach level.
In general there are very few high elevations on this island. With seemingly every high tier reserved for a special area or location. I think this is quite smart and something I noticed right away.
Can you say "well organized orchards?" Good. I knew you could!
Moooooon garden...prettttyyyyyy.
Here is a short video of that central waterfall leading down to a MEGA apple orchard.
Then I paid a visit to Natsumi's house. This is clearly the central home of the character though they have three villager homes. I'll get to the best one in a minute but first let me say that the big house which is fully developed has a very minimalistic attitude toward furniture. Nothing too far out here but one room totally caught my eye and made me fall in love with the concept.
A DIY work room!
So clever and well thought out. Love it!
So onto, imo, the greatest single aspect of Tierinsel. The Cafe'.
What Natsmui has done is create a new file for an additonal human villager and then has designed the house, inside and out, to look like a cafe'. It's called Cafe' on the map and everything!
The outside is decorated with perfect little chairs and tables but the inside is just the bees knees!
Main room.
Back room.
Side room.
It's just perfect! The Cafe alone was worth the trip to Tierinsel. I am both impressed and inspired by this concept. Very good!
Well that's it for this review of one of our own's Dream Island! Be sure to post your code around here somewhere. You could be next!
Later on donkey kongs.
