'Bigger' features that would be cool?

[Spooky.]

I know there are a lot of threads about ideas/things you'd like in New Leaf (which is usually stuff like being able to move rocks, better pwp & housing item placement), but what are some big ideas you guys have had for the game, no matter how crazy or unworkable they may seem?


Tonight I was thinking about how cool it would be to have an in-game user run market, where you could connect online and browse different people's shops and buy whatever they put up for sale for whatever price they list. For example, I have an extra crown I don't use. I put it in my store for 900k or so. A player that comes to my shop can buy the crown from me and the bells are deposited into my abd when they buy it. It would make it faster and easier to trade with people, as well as open up more access to DLC items from other countries.

My idea was loosely based on Maplestory's user market system, so if any of you play MS you might know what I mean a bit better.


But yeah, do you guys have any BIG ideas that you think would be cool?

♥ That's an awesome idea!
I know I would spend so much time just shopping! c:
Maybe players can sell their custom design clothings or furnitures too!!
A feature that I would really enjoy is like a villager and player marker,
where villagers and visitors are marked on the map so that we can keep track of them ♥

Would that feature still work during hide and seek though?

♥ Never thought of that, lol
I guess that feature would be turned off during hide and seek? ♥

I guess during hide and seek the markers could be removed for the villagers who are taking part maybe?
I love your idea of shopping in other towns, all they'd really need to do is alter the showcase thing, people could input addresses like with the dream suite and go visiting, look around the house and town and if there's anything we would want to buy we could go up to the item or maybe there's a catalogue we could look through.

I would love to have another area to visit aside from the island. Maybe we could go on a holiday or something? Like book a couple of days away camping or whatever and there would be fish and bugs that we could only get in that particular area as well as exclusive items. That would be pretty cool....

I have said this before, but I really want birds. You catch them with your net. Every bird has a different cage or perch when you put them in your house. For example, a vulture would sit on a gnarly tree branch. There could be pideons, crows, love birds parrots, owls, etc, etc. There would be a place to donate them in the museum. Some would be very rare, and some you could only find on the Island.

I saw someone in another thread say they wish we could decide where villagers live. Like in the beginning of the game, you get the option to pick which map you'd like your town to have. So it'd be cool if you could also pick out where the 10 houses for your villagers would be plotted and they'd ONLY move into those areas. It'd certainly remove the annoyance of villagers plotting over your flowers or in a really undesirable spot.
Also, I like your idea of an in-game user-run market. It'd definitely make everything more convenient and perhaps there'd be less scamming...? :0
And of course the villager markers on the map would be nice. They could just go away once you're playing hide-and-seek. I'd honestly like markers for visitors, too, for obvious reasons lol.

It might be too strenuous on the game, but I'd love to see a online "Market Days" where people can meet and set up shop on specific days during the year to sell all the cool things they've collected, grown, etc.

I'd love more options to interact with villagers (and more dialogue for them) and here are some examples. You could invite villagers over to your house instead of waiting for them to ask if they can visit, maybe there could be a limit to how much you can do this in a short amount of time. You could make plans to hang out with them in buildings like the coffee shop or Club LOL. Maybe they could ask you to redecorate their houses like in HHD but not every day.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I'd also second the more dialogue. I'd love to be able to randomly give them a gift in person rather than posting it or giving them something when they ask....or like has been said invite them round to my house.

Also some better options for socialising with them. More places to go, have a coffee with them, etc

I really wish I could fix my villagers houses, like the exterior, change their colors and stuff, because Beau and Maple's houses are almost identical and I seem to always run into the wrong house lol

you can't use the megaphone during hide and seek, so i guess it would be turned off.
i've always thought player markers would be useful, i've lost my friends countless times when playing online with them.

more outdoor areas! i want yards and parks! and a restaurant would be cool too. basically, a lot of features in happy home designer.

 

[Paige_i_am]

I love these ideas! I've also always thought that they should add more player-villager interaction.
I think that they should bring back the City. I really liked the City, and it seems a bit unnecessary to have Club LOL, Shampoodles, the Dream Suite, and Katrina's Shop in main Street because I don't go to those everyday. Imagine a new and improved City! There would be Redd's market, Shampoodles, Katrina's Shop, Club LOL (in place of the Marquee), the Dream Suite (in place of the old HRA headquarters), and GracieGrace. The Auction House in City Folk could be replaced by the user-run market! They could add a lot more to the City; instead of visiting the Plaza alone, we could go down different streets as well! There could be restaurants, caf?s, shops for rare or DLC items, an arcade to play old GameCube games like they had in Population Growing, and even a movie theater for watching some sort of Animal Crossing movies, like the Marquee was with emotions in City Folk. You could have some of your old villagers be there as well, ones that have already moved away and been through the 16 villager cycle in Main Street! Nintendo could even add online capability there as well as the Island! It would be so cool to walk through the different streets and shop and dine!

By the way, I meant NES games, not GameCube games.

all that i can think up is having island houses. or like, summer houses.
you can go to the island, and if you do a certain amount of tours or if you donate enough money to kapp'n and his family, he'll offer you a summer home that you can put furniture in ( with a full-ver of the first floor, and the second-biggest second floor ) like your other house. you'll probably have to pay a lot of money in order to buy it, though.

That would be so cool! We could have our own little cabanas on our island!

♥ I love this idea! I always feel bad that I have a mansion and their houses are so small :c
It would be super awesome if we could upgrade their houses and decorate them! c: ♥
