Ideas for a new animal crossing game?

[feminist]

In the next addition to the animal crossing franchise, what do you think would be some cool features to have in the game?

I think there should be a boardwalk with shops and stuff! So it'd be a bit like an extension to the dock.

I also think that the NPCs should have house in town or on main street or something so that you could visit them when they're not working! [Like when the Able Sisters is closed, you could visit all of them in their house or something!]

Another thing that would be super cute is if villagers moved in as couples. As in, there are certain characters that always live together, so it's like a package deal. And they live in the same house and are always seen around town together! Then you could have villagers that are siblings, or couples, or roommates or something that can move into your town together!!!

Also I've been thinking that more mini games would be cool. Also the ability to actually cook food that you/your villagers could eat via the stove or some other item. Also the ability to grow foods besides just fruit on trees could be cool if done right. Also maybe, if not vegetable patches, harvistable fruits off of bushes (like strawberries or something)

These are all great ideas.
I actually have a similar idea of villagers moving in the same house, although my idea was based around an apartment that villagers can move in.

All of these ideas sound fantasic!
I would like a pwp to allow you to choose where villagers move in to plop down their houses. And also a grid that uses the touch screen. Placing down paths and furniture one by one is so aggravating, and accidentally erasing it when trying to pick up an item is more frustrating. I'd also like to see an option to make pings more efficient to prevent accidental move outs or just have an on/off option to not allow some villagers to move out. Things like "do you like mac and cheese or spaghetti" or "should I change my phrase?" should not be pings imo. The villager dialogue needs improvement. so these things should be added in with the dialogue to make it seem less watered down, and not ruin the effectiveness of a ping. A ping should be for pwp suggestions and moving out only ><; And just add more conversation and personality to the dialogue. I'd like houses to be more interactive as well. It'd be nice if we could use our tvs to watch mini clips or maybe have mini games in our house like board games for purchase. And I wish we could jump in the game ;.;. I'd also like skin tone to be an option choice when making characters or at shampoodle at the very least. And they need to make cuter villager designs! I'd also like to see fruit bushes like strawberries or blueberries. And have everyone have access to international DLC. More inventory space pleaaase. And path space ;;

The only thing I'm desperately hoping for in the next game is the ability to choose where villagers move in. Or even to have an active hand in designing everything about your town - the placement of ponds, buildings... I can dream. ;~;

 

[feminist]

Yes!! PWPs to decided where villagers can move in would be WONDERFUL

of like imagine if you played real estate agent and sold house plots for Tom nook and it was like when you had to first work for him in previous games!!!! :0
So when you started the game, you sold ten house plots where villagers could one day move in (and hopefully you could change these later if you wanted) and then after that you could chose where you'd like your own home to be!!??

 

[Elanoriel]

Please, give us the choice of where to place villagers!

I hate everything about this.

Everything

I highly doubt that that will ever happen anyway because part of the game is just moving into this new town and everything, not playing god and basically creating a brand new landscape to the image that you desire

Your first post is literally Harvest Moon. xD LOL I'd like to see farms in Animal Crossing though.​

Yeah I know haha
But I honestly doubt that farms could be pulled off well in animal crossing with it still fitting the premise and feel of the game

The ability to grow vegetables would be neat. My town is called Rhubarb, and so being able to grow rhubarb would be very nice.

Really? You start with a certain fruit, why not a certain vegetable? The farm could be another area-- kinda like how the shops are placed. IDK xD​

It's been fifteen minutes, and my blueberries have not yet finished growing. (✿◕‿◕)

I would like to see more space for qr designs.. Sure you can have maybe 10 designs on your character at a time (i think?) and you can store about 82 ish at Able's, but I would like the character to be able to hold more designs. And if you refurbish furniture with a custom design and you erase the custom design out of your design box, the refurbished furniture shouldn't change D;

1. I would want different regions, to the west is the forest, in the middle is the rocky land, and to the east is the desert.

2. Now that there is more space why not give the shop keepers houses? (stated in a suggestion before me).

3. I want more special villagers to move in like the fortune teller, that is not useless after you get the lovely phone.

4. Make Animal crossing connect to your weather station (optional choice preferably) so your game is like your current weather.

5. When its over 90 Degrees Fahrenheit, and it is noon, the desert should play the Gerudo Valley theme. (more easter eggs like that would be cool, but this is by far the least important thing).

6. I want K.K. earlier on in the game.

7. I've only played New Leaf, but I've heard there are character stories in other games, so bring those back!

8. Make Blathers interesting again!

While I'm here, farming only works in harvest moon because you can sleep at any time and make it the next day. Vilagers living together would probably be siblings only, like Chrissy and Francine, because no one would want to find out Carmen and Genji are couples. If they made new animals that are couples that would be okay.

Edit: I forgot #9
9. Make it impossible for villagers you're best friends with to move away, and then make it unlikely for villagers you are friends with to move away.

I thought of a new personality type! There could be certain villagers significantly smaller than other animals of the same species. They would have the "childish" personality type, meaning they would act like little kids. They would be energetic, immature and curious. And the personality type would apply to both genders.

Also the ability to actually cook food that you/your villagers could eat via the stove or some other item.

Yessss, like serving snacks when a villager is visiting your house ;u; too cute.

^ This. What were the makers even thinking? "Uhm, let the players share their designs and import other people's designs but like.. only be able to carry a few at the time." I wish I could store more designs, but refuse to make a new character just for that e_e

What I would like to see in the new game is the ability to lay paths. Doesn't even have to be fancy, I would already be satisfied with the cobblestone.

Edit: OML, I can save designs at Able's too c: Unsure how this would affect designs that are put on the ground, etc, but this is neat-o and solved my problem (atleast for now). Gah, been playing since forever and never knew.

I can think of maybe one thing at the moment for the new animal crossing game:
1. The campers who camp in your town: I'd like a little bit more interaction with these folks. Like having them step out of their tent smh

 

[Ellacrossing]

It would be really cute if the bushes had berries on them that you could pick during a certain time of the year c:
