Story themed town?

[Laov]

Hello!


I always thought about making a "story" themed town on my second copy of ACNL, but I am not really sure of what it will be about, or even how to make it. Any ideas?

I don't want it to be kind of scary as Aika Village, I'd prefer something a bit more positive or at least realistic (in opposition to optimistic, not actual realism because... animal are talking haha), I imagined something like some sort of "love story" : the town would be separated in two by the river (as much as possible with this game), on each side the villager would be of the same specie/gender but on one there would be only one character with a messy house, villagers looking sad/upset/not well, dead trees maybe and on the other one two characters (the lovers) and happy-looking villagers, colors, etc. like if the arrival of the second character changed everything and everyone for the best.
I am not sure I'll go with that idea yet, every opinion/advice would be appreciated!

Thank you!

that sounds really cool! it sounds like it would be a lot of work to plot reset villagers into the right places, but if you pulled it off it would be awesome.

There is a really beautiful Japanese festival called Tanabata based on a Chinese myth about two stars who fall in love across the galaxy... You might get inspiration from your town from reading the story.

Basically, the milky way separates the two lovers, Orihime and Hikoboshi, and they can only meet on the 7th day in the 7th month.

Maybe something like that with a star and japanese folklore theme?

Thank you for your answers!

princelio indeed it would be complicated, I wish I'll can make the two sides look alike on the villagers position to really pretend it's the same ones, but in a different time (not sure it will work though haha)

gh0st thanks for the idea, I'll check that at least for inspiration! I don't think I'll take a japanese folklore inspiration as I don't necessarly like it that much, but the story seems really nice so I'll look for it!

Thank you, I will try!

Any ideas for the villagers? I have some troubles finding the right ones, some that could correspond to what I am looking for ><
