What are your hopes for the AC Direct and upcoming updates?

I would love this so much. More villager plots is probably my #1 hope for the new update since my island is pretty much empty and it's so hard to choose between villagers since there are like 400 of them. If we get more villagers in the new amiibo series, it'll be even harder! I'm so attached to my current line-up, but I've had to make sacrifices to get them. Even two or three more slots would be great, I could use my amiibos to get other people villagers they want too.

I would love to trade all my extra playable character slots for villagers. I have two playable characters have on both my islands and that’s more then enough for me. It would be great to be able to have more villagers. I have plenty of space g to or them.




What if it was just 18 plots instead of 10 villager plots and 8 playable characters. You could have any combination of them. For my islands I would have two playable characters and 16 villagers. If you already had 4 playable characters you could add 4 more villagers.

I really like this idea, honestly. I only have one playable character per island, so there’s a LOT of unused space. I wish I could switch those extra 7 plots for villagers if I wanted to (maybe not all of them, but two or three would be nice)

It would be nice to have the option since not everyone wants that many playable characters. I think it will feel less empty with more villagers. For my main island I want it to be an all penguin island and would need three more plots so I don’t have to choose.
 
I know some of these are wishful thinking, but since there's this thread anyway, I feel like I might as well pour out all my wishful thinking.

  • Easier ways to get villagers to move out, like getting Isabelle to kick them out. Speaking of whom...
  • More interactions with Isabelle (and Tom Nook, Blathers, the Able Sisters; pretty much all the permanent NPCs). I swear, I haven't talked to the Able Sisters for days because I'm not into fashion.
  • Mysterious Islands spawn a villager you never had every, single, time, regardless of full island or not (works better if you give us easier move-out methods).
  • No need to start over if you type a Dodo Code wrong or if you accidentally select the wrong kind of people that are allowed to use your code. A simple 'B' press will take you to the previous selection.
  • Second island! No need to buy a second Switch! Heck, make it multiple islands/save files on a Switch!
  • Easier ways to rearrange your island layout. For example...
  • Multiple buildings could be moved in a single day.
  • Multiple bridges could be built/destroyed in a single day.
  • Flowers won't spread unless you buy a cheap fertilizer that's available daily. I'm so tired of flowers spreading after I've arranged them all nicely.
  • You can pick up displayed items even with visitors around. I swear, not being able to do this is a pain for my giveaways.
  • You can terraform the outer-edge of your island so that the end of the river won't stick out.
  • While you're on it, you can terraform beaches. I hate those beaches. Waste of space.
  • White. Picket. Fences.
  • In-game turnip price tracker. Preferable that we're allowed to pay to know if there's a high spike for the week, but that might be too hand-holding for some.
  • Windows in your home. Customizable, removable.
  • Building a second floor on your villager home.
  • Walls that don't look like ugly panels with vertical lines on them.
  • Painting cliffs is made possible, meaning custom designs on cliffs.
  • Give me a ship or a boat to sail around the island, just for the fun of it. Have Gulliver/Gulivarr be involved. What's an island life without some good ol' sailing?
  • Incorporate whale-fishing. You already have gigantic fishes. Might as well throw in whales too.
  • Dinosaur villagers.
  • Pets. Start simple with cats and dogs. You already have a barking dog toy, so it's not that weird to have pet dogs in an anthropomorphic world like AC.
  • Sleeping passes the day (after you select 'Yes' of course to avoid accidental time-traveling). No need for manually forwarding your clock!
  • Actual exercise animation on exercise machines like Weight Bench. Feels weird sleeping on a weight bench...
  • Exercise activity/event. Lots of villagers exercise in the morning, but when I join in, I'd accidentally interrupt them. Fix this.
  • Same with villagers singing. Don't let me interrupt them when I use a reaction to their singing, especially the 'Sit Down' reaction.
  • Let me sing too! Give me a singing reaction.
  • Throw in dancing as well.
  • Singing/dancing event.
  • Dr. Shrunk and his dad jokes. Now. :)

I think it has not been mentioned yet and for me its a huuuge thing, i am expecting either now or at some point that we get more types of flooring and wall paper !! I just need more to be able to decorate my homes with more coherence. When i say more flooring & wall paper i mean more colors and structures and texture not the special ones but the normal daily use ones
Click to expand...

I'm kinda hoping this comes with something similar to Happy Home Designer, or that function in pocket camp where we can decorate villager houses, visit the HH and get tasks to do re-decorations for villagers based on their requests.

New flooring and wall paper could be unlock as we complete requests for villagers as rewards

I never knew I wanted dinosaur villagers until now :)

But you have reminded me of a long running outside wish for NH, a new villager species, for some reason I think Bat villagers would be super cute.

They might need to adjust the tree of life in the museum but they could easily do that

Do my eyes deceive me or is that the Espresso Machine found in ACNL??? It would certainly be interesting to see previous furniture designs transported over to NH… HMMM. 👀👀

Edit: It also looks like the Stand Mixer, but I can’t see it being that unless he sells baked good as well. Thoughts, anyone?

Ooh, very sharp! Yes it does look like the espresso maker. Underneath the espresso maker looks to be some sort of glass case that can hold drinks. Wonder if this means we can buy other drinks like juice or something? Maybe I’m getting too far ahead here lol.

Wait, at the left side, aren’t those cake holders? Could be just decoration though.

I've wanted bat villagers for so long too! The fan art for them is always so cute and this example is no exception. I would love lizards too, Flick is easily the best new design to come out of New Horizons and it kills me that his design type is currently just for a special character. We need more cold blooded villager types!
 
It's so surreal actually seeing him! It's too blurry to really make out everything in the photo but my first thought was gyroids on the 3rd shelf behind him. I can sort of make out where their faces would be.

Mostly bc of how narrow/crowded it looks and because of the orientation of the café (to the side instead of facing the player, if that makes sense).
Click to expand...

I think it could work the same in the new orientation, the counters are just rotated a different direction from what I can tell. I could see the camera cutting to the 3/4 angle when the villagers order at the south counter, the same way the camera adjusts when you talk to them.

Of course, given the way NH has trimmed down certain features, I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't include it, but I don't put much stake in the different orientation.
