What Does the Next Animal Crossing Game Need?

[UnwrittenTale]

A Rug/Ceiling furniture shop! (Those items from HHD, like a Home Depot/Lowe's esque, maybe Nook runs it? Not sure.)

I'm not sure if this was mentioned already but we should have a toolbox where you can store all of your equipment instead of having to take up nearly half of your pockets.

I've always used the letter approach since AC:GC, but it would be nice for a change.

i'm fine with starting off with pale skin because tanning is an option, but tanning is super tedious and not permanent. i liked how you just made your character in happy home designer/pocket camp, but at the same time i feel like that takes away from some aspects of animal crossing.

i remember a long time ago someone suggested that Rover ask you questions about where you were from geographically, and that that could effect your skin tone based on what you chose, but that seems kind of silly, especially if the skin tone was permanent.

adding a tanning bed to shampoodle seems like a very easy addition that makes sense. "How long do you want to tan for?" and a slider that determines how dark you'll be when you get out. that, or they could just keep the character creation from HHD and Pocket Camp.

A tanning bed actually seems like a very nice idea. I think that could work. Also, white skin seems like the default option for Animal Crossing. You should at least be able to choose your characters skin color. Black people shouldn’t have to tan in the summer for their representation, because what happens in winter? Yeah, you are white again.

Honestly, I think a good addition would also be to choose your climate based on where you actually live. If you pick somewhere out west, it wouldn’t snow in winter. If you pick a northern climate, it would snow. It would pretty much dictate the kind of weather your town has. I hope that makes sense.

Something me and my boyfriend have talked about is wanting more interactable items, like bathtubs/washbasins filling with water, or gyroids making a noise when you interact with them.

This actually makes a lot of sense! It'd also be cool if you could have your town snow a lot, or be a desert.. Not only would it dictate the weather, but it could go as far as adding new possibilities for themes of your towns.

That would be great! I never liked snow, so I would love to be able to choose to live in a warm climate out west. Rover could ask a question regarding this.

Maybe he could ask, “How’s the climate out there?” or “What is the weather like out there?” From there, you can respond with options like...

“I’m burning up!” -that would give you a hot climate
“Brrrrr, I’m shivering!” -that would give you a cold climate
“We get all four seasons.” -that would give you a normal climate.

This is what I was thinking.

Personally, I’d love to have different skin tones from the beginning. People from all over the world play it and you can customize everything besides your skin tone, come on!

I’d like the furniture etc not being shown as leaves but as a mini picture of what they are.

I like the features introduced in HHD and hope to see them in the next AC game: curtains, sound effects, different house styles, your own space around your house you can decorate. HHD showed us many cool possibilities and I really hope they’ll be added in the next game!

New animals maybe..I’m thinking: otters, foxes, lizards, raccoons...

 

[Croconaw]

That would be cool, but imagine how much would go into that. They’d have to design a mini sprite for each piece of furniture for when each villager hands it to you, and for when you go to drop it in your home, or for the image in your pockets.

I kind of like the leaf! It’s became the symbol for Animal Crossing, so I wouldn’t mind it staying as the symbol for all the items.

 

[UnwrittenTale]

Being able to delete multiple letters at one time. Heck.

Being able to identify multiple fossils at one time was legendary.

Having two compartments for our mailbox (maybe we could get a P.O. Box? especially for Nookling orders?) would be epic.

Faster way to send/give items to villagers (maybe a dialogue choice, like how they get to give us random gifts) would be nice! (I have so many outfits/umbrellas/furniture backlogged & saved up for a rainy day just to write letters to my villagers with, some probably don't even live in town anymore.)

Centering things on tables/half squares/tiles. Centering things. Caddy corners?

Bait. Bait for... Fish, and... and bugs. YEAH. We have that in Pocket Camp. >:'o Make hunting more interesting. >8'O

I was talking to my dad about my turnip crisis and not having enough room to put my turnips xD and he suggested that something like a silo would be neat to have near the train station or something, so that you can access it from other towns as well. In the silo, you could put turnips, all your fruit baskets, extra flower hybrids, and maybe like bushes and stuff like that :3 Another thing I think would be cool is being able to unlock extra storage if you end up needing it. So like, if you find you need extra storage, you could buy an extra tab for x number of meow coupons or something :3

 

[Stackhouse]

I think all items including bush starts, clothing, everything, should be stackable, like fruit.

 

[Berrymia]

That would be cool, but imagine how much would go into that. They?d have to design a mini sprite for each piece of furniture for when each villager hands it to you, and for when you go to drop it in your home, or for the image in your pockets.

I agree! Hmm but some sort of help to organize all the furniture and stuff would be so convenient! Going through your storage / secret store room to find a certain piece is so tedious!

 

[UnwrittenTale]

I want to be able to march into that Police Station, drop my hands on the desk, and go.

'Okay, what's the skinny. Who's thinking of moving out of town?'

I want a villager scrapbook. I want pictures of every villager that's ever moved into my town, much like the book in HHD. But viewable at Town Hall, perhaps.

Give me all the stuff in Pocket Camp, let it transfer over somehow, because I want it that way.

I, as mayor, want to approve or deny move ins, and where they are allowed to move, a preview of their house, (much like a PWP) and have full control of that. I don't care if they're the villager, it's my land. >:c

Make actual PWPs easier to get omg.

More Museum/Caf?/everything functionality.

Give Blathers the dialogue option to 'blather' again about donations.

Little teeny fences for flowers/bushes. I want to stop killing my best buds because I'm in a cycling rush.

I want animals to wear the shirts I send them, dangit.

Can we loose the Pitfalls? Please?

I want flowers to have growth stages like trees/bushes do.

And the Diary/Journal/Calendar back.

 

[Vixentine]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I'd love to see more than just tank tops on villagers. Bottoms and hats shouldn't be exclusive to special characters, I say.

Also on board with more villagers per town, more town space, more events (please bring back the flea market!), and more diverse interactions with villagers and items.

 

[Stackhouse]

I think we should be able to limit the amount of villagers.
I'd prefer four.

When it reaches that, you should be able to control when someone moves in.

Eliminate random move-ins.

 

[koopasta]

More octopus villagers. We only have three (four counting Inkwell, but I doubt the Splatoon/Zelda/MH villagers will be in the next game) and I personally love them.

Also, they need to make the octopuses not use umbrellas in the rain like the frogs.

 

[Rabirin]

The ability to customise your character anytime you want, like in pocket camp. E.G being able to change the skin tone and eyes. Probably not the hair colour and eyecolour though, because that’d put shampoodle out of business. Not being able to change the type of eyes you have has been a factor in why many of my towns have ended up deleted. Maybe even having certain shops like the able’s on rotation, so new stock comes in every few hours. I feel like if we do get a new animal crossing they’ll probably take a leaf out of pocket camp’s book and let us change our character’s skin tone from the get go, since they’ve been experimenting with that since happy home designer and it’s a feature a lot of people want.

 

[Twikster]

The ability to alter skin tone
Coherent Shampoodles dialogue
Rover should show you infinite maps when you start, would save map resetting time.
Bring back the shopping card from City Folk!!
The ability to choose where someone moves in
More PwPs unlocked from the start so you don’t have to do the diving trick
More villagers allowed in town
Turnips that don’t rot as fast when you completely forget about them
More flexible bush rules
