A list of Island Themes

[Flunkifera]

I like to not include seasons into the theme because you will be able to keep that up for max a fourth of a year and then you'll have to change it up. Some ideas I like better and which give you lots of creative freedom:
- based on a book, movie, tv show, anime, game: Harry Potter, Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, Totoro, etc.
- a color: blue only, color combinations, one color palette
- space/zodiac
- natural: forest, desert, swamp, mountains, volcano, rivers and lots of lakes, rainforest; working with lots of QR codes and terraforming?
- urban: city, kingdom, fortress, castle, town, landside
- around a certain aesthetic: sterile, spooky, haunted, natural, cozy, witchy, fairytale
- only one villager type: only deers, etc.
- based on a country/culture: Japan, western culture, eastern culture, Greece, Italy, America, Brasil, Egypt, etc.
- based on a continent: Europe, South-America, Asia?
- based on mythology: greek, norse or egyptian mythology

I really like the idea of basing the island of a biome, like a rainforest. You could get really creative with certain villagers and terraforming!

You could like a general "entertainment" theme. I know a lot of people have parts in their towns for other reasons but you could include like a music stage or performing arts area, an outdoor theater, amusement park, circus, arcade, that sort of thing.

Or maybe just go with a very basic and simple thematic element, like... Circles. Make everything in town somehow related to circles.

Mine is a big maze that leads to the plaza. A continental theme would be good to see.
