have you heard the ~rumors~

[sunset_succulent]

i’ve seen various videos on dataminers finding information on the dream suite and other things in our animal crossing world. what have you guys heard, and how do you know if they’re “reputable”. i’ve heard rumors about the next update being july twentieth, being full of new exciting features. the only one i trust at this point is our savior ninji (but i still don’t believe the farming datamine). lemme hear your thoughts and hype

cheers!

I don't know. Nintendo said wave two would be in August.

A dream suite would be amazing if it's true. I want people to visit my island but due to the past where some would blatantly steal and do things they shouldn't, I've become wary. So that would be amazing to have to avoid any bad things from happening. <33 Plus I loved visiting other towns for inspo so that'd be fun!

I'm super excited if a new update is coming so soon, I've been waiting with baited breath for Brewster to appear. He's one of my favorites and I need him on my island!!

Can you explain the dream suite? I've never played Animal Crossing before New Horizons?

 

[Rosch]

Well, rumors are nice and it's always fun to speculate. But the Wave 2 update is already marked for release on early August. So yeah.

 

[Hobowire]

i want fireworks but ill be happy with any updates.

In the dream suite, you can input someone's ID code and "visit" their island (walk around it, interact with villagers, tour their houses, etc.) without the other person having to be online. While "dreaming" you can't do any harm or have any permanent effect on the person's island you're visiting. So, you can have many people come view your town without any risk of them plucking flowers, stealing fruit, your villagers talking about them later, etc.

Also, they can only dream about the version of your island you saved/submitted with the character who runs the dream suite. So you could submit your town in spring when the cherry blossoms were blooming, or when the fall leaves were out, or during a specific time of day/night to give your town a specific mood, and dream visitors would only be able to see that version of your town until you re-submitted it with a different version. This allows you to craft specific scenes or maintain a desired atmosphere. Check out Aika Village for an example of how they used a night-time save and specific time of year to create a particular mood.

In New Leaf, people set up absolutely AMAZING towns to tour - look some up on Youtube if you're curious!

EDIT: As for me, I would LOVE the dream suite to return, and I hope it comes back soon! I adore touring other people's islands, but I always feel a bit self conscious asking strangers if I can come over and take a look/wander around. I loved the dream suite in NL because I could really admire people's creativity from afar, and visit towns made by people all over the world. I currently have no chance of visiting many islands because you can only really get dodo codes easily from other people who speak the same language(s) as you.

There's this character named Luna and she sets up a dream suite.
In the dream suit, you had 2 options. 1 was to share your town's dream, a dream being a code you can use to find a town and visit it, but everything you do doesn't effect the town itself. Also ive heard rumors the time you saved it at is saved too, save it in winter and your town will look like winter even if it is the middle of summer. And the bed would allow you to visit dreams... for a fee of 500 bells. It was one of my favorite features in NL and in NH it'd be even better.

I like the idea of a surprise update on the 20th, but that is probably not going to happen when they already announced the time of the next update.

 

[Corrie]

I wouldn't get your hopes up just in case to avoid getting disappointed. That way if it does happen, it's a pleasant surprise!

 

[John Wick]

New and exciting features?

Old features being bought back.
I'm good with that, but they have to stop trying to sell it as new stuff.

Honestly I never really liked and barely used the dream suite in New Leaf. Of course it would be a nice addition, but I’m wondering how it would function. Would it be a new building? An airport extension? Nook app?

 

[Kattea]

I always get so nervous about new buildings being added because I have my whole island planned out a certain way and as I get more ideas, the empty areas are dwindling down very quickly. I read some datamines about a museum cafe and museum gift shop, which I hope are just extensions of the museum building like the art gallery was. I would hate for pop up shops like Lief and Kicks to become whole buildings because I have no space to allocate and would have to re-arrange my whole island.

See that's how I feel. I used the dream suite like once for Aika town actually twice only to visit my other town just to see how it looked via a dream but overall I just never cared for it. I mean in nl we had main street so it had a location but how would it work in nh? I can't see it being a building. It would take up a lot of space for something with little function, Maybe an but idk.

 

[justalittlemad]

I don't have enough space as it is. I hope they don't force new buildings on us give us a choice or a bigger island maybe. Everything worked in NL because you had a separate area for the various shops and whatnot.

 

[FaerieRose]

Maybe as a section in the next Nook's expansion, similar to the gardening center in NL's T.I.Y?

 

[mayortiffany]

If I remember correctly, data miners like Ninji have been pretty spot on with the things they've predicted in the past.

However, I wouldn't get my hopes up for August just in case their predictions don't end up turning out. It's always possible that these things are being developed but end up being scrapped, or are saved for another update.

 

[Xara]

i haven’t heard much recently but i have heard of the dream suite being datamined and the farming/vegetable stuff that supposedly got datamined a while ago. i’m not sure how accurate any of it will turn out to be but the one thing i absolutely do not believe is the next update being july 20th - in the wave 1 update announcement, we were told that wave 2 would be dropping early august so we likely wouldn’t even have an announcement for that by the 20th ;w;

 

[patchworkbunny]

Maybe the dream suite could be on another island, like Harv's. I think it would make sense for the to add the dream suite as something they can sell online access for. I mean I paid for a year, but I rarely visit other islands because I feel like it's a hassle.

They might do a minor patch for some bug fixes earlier than August, but I doubt it'd include new content then when they've announced the August update as wave 2.

I never cared for it in New Leaf, but now that we can put furniture outside, and terraform, I think I'd use the dream suite for insperation and see what others have done..
