A reason there is absolutely nothing to spend Nook Miles on...

[-Blue-]

It takes more time developing for this game and currently they have a set timeline planned that they are keeping to. They are also releasing these as free updates, they are not making money off of these so they are using their current budget to work on the stuff they can and want to.

Pocket Camp has a completely different team working on it and it takes less time to make those models for them, since its a phone game. Its also a gatcha-game and the main money maker is people spending their own cash to buy this materials and items. So they have more resources in a way to keep throwing out item updates (they also need to for the game to stay alive).

I would had rather they focused less on things like tool durability and crafting if it meant they were going to sacrifice so much more. A part of me wonders if all the busywork of crafting, resource grinding, and the back and forth of tool durability was to stray our focus away from how barebone the game was a launch (and still sort of is)

It takes two to tango. NH also needs for the game to stay alive by bringing back stuff. They're skipping an entire month. You mean to tell me there wasn't even a small update that they could do to bring back attention? A dry spell of a month when the game is incomplete doesn't help. It's kind of funny in a sad way that they had to throw in a September update that was basically hey this update brings fish, bugs, and pinecones. But that's not an update as it was already there. They're stalling because they're are that far behind.

If the game is already caught up with its predecessors and all the updates are actually new (whatever it may be) that would be different. Instead here we are speculating when the roost will come back.

When I finally lost interest in NL and the other games I had already upgraded mostly everything. Except for NL where I came back and got the GracieGrace update and maybe a few other things. Here it's less progress and more 'just wait and we won't tell you when or if it is coming back'

That would be awesome or just more furniture in general.

People need to calm down with the paranoia about missing items and features. We've gotten updates before including pretty susbtantial ones that brought back things like diving. There's no indication we'll stop getting updates in the near future, either. I've said before and I'll say it again: I'd rather get updates like these than having the complete game right off the bat but too rushed and incomplete. At least this way they can put a lot of care and detail into the things they do.

Comparisons with PC don't make sense, it's a very different game and the development model is different. The basics of gameplay were also covered years ago, by this stage most of what they can do is just add new characters and villagers. We don't know yet if we won't be getting more updates in that vein years from now. Even NL received a really late update with new characters and features and it was comparatively less popular than NH.

i'm a bit pessimistic concerning this, i suppose. i don't think they will do such a thing honestly. i have no idea what they want us to do with the abundance of nook mile points we have accrued at this point but whole beautiful furniture sets like in pocket camp seems unlikely to me, although i would love it if it were to happen. nintendo, please surprise me

that’s a cool concept but i think i would prefer for them to just add older items from previous games/new items rather than them making older new horizons items available again. i’d just love to see some new items be added in general aha
