I know it can't last forever but I love how every new day seems to bring new things so far.
Yeah, I feel the same way! Having everything be really spaced out is great, the progression feels meaningful. I just got over the 30 iron hump last night and am excited to see what's next.
Yeah, I don't mind the slow roll-out, with one exception: what's with the lack of hourly music so far?? The single track on the island is fairly nice but pretty repetitive. Otherwise, having fun.
When / where can I get some emotes? I'm tired of walking around with an emotionless, dead-eyed character... hmm, perhaps this game really is a social commentary!
Also, this is one of the few times where I miss having the post at the top of each page being editable. It would be nice if we had a list of everyone's town and character names, since I have no idea who is who when I check for open towns to visit. It doesn't identify people by their Switch names.
I had to talk to an islander one that’s been with you from the start. Just keep talking to them I guess but I had passed a few milestones like expanding the house and shop - not sure if that’s needed. I’ve only unlocked some of them.
Holy Gatos. Today is the day that the game really opens up! So many of my wishes have come true... but how will I pug this game down now?
I'm really glad I went into this game so underwhelmed and "meh, of course I'll buy it because that's what I do" about it. It has really delivered. Best Animal Crossing ever.
The museum is such a cool area! I wish that Blather's descriptions of the exhibits were actually on their plaques, I'd spend HOURS in there if that was the case. Kinda goofy that you can only hear them at that one time when you might be in a hurry and just trying to empty your pockets.
Anyone else trying to play the Stalk Market tomorrow? I bet if we coordinate we could get a good deal on someone's island at some point, despite the ludonarrative dissonance of basing an investment mechanism on a perishable good.
It started so limited, but this game is really starting to blossom now. So relaaaaxing.
@Secret_Tunnel 100% agree that Blathers fun factoids should be in the museum, but you can see them again. Just have something in your pocket and ask him about it.
There is one feature from the past games that I really hope is back and I don't want to have it spoiled so I'll just wait and see if it gets unlocked eventually but I'm getting a little worried. We'll see!
/EDIT NEVERMIND I went and looked it up and like, they very briefly and vaguely mention it in an official Nintendo video in February, so presumably it is back, but no one online seems to have unlocked it yet? I hope it is back and not just a mistake in the video. Though it doesn't sound like it is in the form I would have liked (it wasn't in the old games either, but I had hoped it had evolved a bit.)
The maze has been constructed, and it probably takes up a quarter of the island. Bigger than I expected it to be. But it's about 75% true to the RE4 castle hedge maze, and I improvised the rest. Still thinking about what sort of things I can hide in there. We'll see when those trees grow all the way if it's cool, or if it sucks.
One of my co-workers had bags of trash at the end of the dock, I couldn't even leave the airport, haha. This was after he told us he opened the gates, so I just stood there insulting his island as he helplessly tried to remove it all.
