[topaz sphinx]

Hi

[quick fable]

Aw thanks guys

[hasty surge]

show us more

[quick fable]

Lol that's just my first project. Still deciding what else to do and inclines and stuff take a while cause I don't time travel

[woven drift]

based

@quick fable how they hell did you get lamps and items on the cliffs

I was trying to put stuff on my little blocks of a cliff

[topaz sphinx]

Place the item first then work around it

[woven drift]

Ohh ok

[hasty surge]

make a path to it, put item, make river again

[topaz sphinx]

^

[hasty surge]

^!!!

[quick fable]

@woven drift what they said. It was a time consuming process lol

[sour onyx]

what are the dimensions of the museum?

[topaz sphinx]

Small soccer field

Kids area of park

[hasty surge]

hahahha how fun

love it

wish it wasgolden hour always in this game :' (

[carmine orbit]

Aw I love the pillows under the rock climbing

[topaz sphinx]

Iirc Museum is 5x7

5 back 7 across

Also thanks, it's a kids place so safety first

Thats why the signs are there, theyre construction signs but I think they work well as "be safe while you climb" signs

[carmine orbit]

Super cute

[topaz sphinx]

:3

You'd probably think a lot of my town is cute then lol

[woven drift]

guys can you make a waterfall from the highest level to the floor?

[topaz sphinx]

Not in one go I don't think but maybe?

I could test

[woven drift]

could you please? i'm dying to know and my joycons are discharged

[quick fable]

@woven drift no because it needs the have the cliff under it to support top level

[woven drift]

Aww thanks @quick fable

[topaz sphinx]

^

That being said

Cliffs that already exist in that form might work

[quick fable]

Are there cliffs that exist in that form? If so I don't have any on my island.

Is there a limit on bridges and inclines you can place on your island?

[woven drift]

guys were saying 8 earlier but I haven't reach that point yet to confirm

[twin flame]

anyone got any zen garden designs?

[quick fable]

@twin flame kinda gimme one sec

[polar salmon]

You can make puddles!

[topaz sphinx]

Nice

Custom design I'm guessing?

[polar salmon]

Yep, really easy to do

[topaz sphinx]

Using the see-through coloring, very clever stuff

I like your style

[polar salmon]

Haha thank u!

[topaz sphinx]

I use it to apply my cloud marker in front of places of importance

[quick fable]

Ignore my extinct dog

[topaz sphinx]

Rip

Still waiting at that train station

[polar salmon]

Put a snapping turtle there haha

[topaz sphinx]

^

[polar salmon]

He fought the dog and won

[twin flame]

@quick fable very nice, ok i got some ideas for mine thx 😄

[proper osprey]

cleared out all the rivers, ponds and hills on my island at 1 am lastnight and been at relocating and decorating everything since 8 am

[topaz sphinx]

The dog lost on account of being unable to snap

😮

Flatlands

[cunning current]

do we know if there are dead trees? trying to make a spooky forest

[proper osprey]

bro it was the most painful experience

[cold kettle]

help

[polar salmon]

I haven’t seen any dead trees 😦

[cold kettle]

i like having people over but my island is a wip and looks terrible

[cunning current]

darn

[quick fable]

The puddle idea is brilliant

[woven drift]

Have a mindset that you’re preparing people to come to your island

[polar salmon]

Thanks, your island looks so good also

[quick fable]

@cunning current in the past it happened with perfect fruit trees after a while but perfect fruit is not in this game...yet

[cunning current]

hopefully dlc then

[woven drift]

Wish this game had bananas, strawberry, kiwis, mangos, and watermelons 😢

Fruit gardens would be so cool

[topaz sphinx]

scoots bananas under the chair

yeah

Wheres my froggy chair

[polar salmon]

So much they could add in the future I hope

[woven drift]

They really need to add more resedential buildings

A material store for furniture, diys and maybe a restaurant type thing for villagers

[polar salmon]

Right

[cunning current]

I want them to add more residential buildings but at the same time if they do, I'm boned

[topaz sphinx]

Oh man

[cunning current]

ive got so many hills and trees that I wanna keep

[topaz sphinx]

COSMIC

[woven drift]

Well it would be optionable hopefully

[topaz sphinx]

Make a casino

[woven drift]

?

Omg yes

They already have slot machines you can get from pocket camp

Earn bells omg

[topaz sphinx]

Bingo wheel, the spinny thing, slot machines

Oh yes

Win furnature

[polar salmon]

Does it actually work?

[woven drift]

If not that maybe a amusement park section or a actual arcade section

Mhm

[polar salmon]

Woo

[topaz sphinx]

Cloud, sort of

You'd have to make it self-run

OH MAN

[woven drift]

Any house alignment experts here ? I need help

[topaz sphinx]

You could win nook miles tickets

Or bell tickets

[polar salmon]

House alignment?

[topaz sphinx]

Playing ticket games to a new level

[woven drift]

Are these 2 houses aligned ?

Really wish they had a store for specifically more furniture, nooks cranny ain’t cutting it,at least update the shit like every 3 hours

I don’t know what else to call it sorry? English isn’t my first language

[quick fable]

@woven drift I'm pretty sure they're bringing back the coffee shop

[woven drift]

Yessss

Brewster <3

[topaz sphinx]

Looks like it Hex

[quick fable]

And possibly the fortune teller

[polar salmon]

I think they’re aligned

[topaz sphinx]

Easiest way to tell is to do the rule of 9s

[cunning current]

I'd love the coffee shop back

[woven drift]

I think the house is offcentered

[cunning current]

gotta make an outdoor area for it

[woven drift]

It’s back by 1/2 blocks

[topaz sphinx]

I think thats just angling on the camera

[polar salmon]

Easy thing to make sure it’s aligned is to pave a 3x4 path before you set the house down

[quick fable]

I'm excited for Leif later this month and whatever he brings

[topaz sphinx]

Counting the blocks it's even

[solar cypress]

I use custom designs on the ground to judge house location

[woven drift]

Oh yeah it is the angling

[topaz sphinx]

Rule of 9s, mark a 5x5 area and mark every other square until you have 9 spots in total

[woven drift]

This is why we need a grid lmao

[topaz sphinx]

Then judge off of that

Thats how I aligned my park and residential district

[woven drift]

So this is good ?

[stuck crescent]

how much space do yall like around your villagers houses

[topaz sphinx]

Yes

[polar salmon]

Looks good

[woven drift]

Tysm

Not a lot but enough to decorate

[topaz sphinx]

Not much

[stuck crescent]

1 cell around?

[topaz sphinx]

Roughly after accounting for fence

So a side area of the house and front

[woven drift]

I usually put the houses 2/3 blocks apart so I can put fencing and flowers

[topaz sphinx]

I'll set mine on the back 4 squares of the 5x5 plot, and leave the other surrounding squares for things

[woven drift]

Idk about you guys but I absolutely hate the design of the fossil holes, I have trypophobia and they make me itch and feel gross

I hate it sm I want it changed

[topaz sphinx]

Fossil holes?

What?

[polar salmon]

Oh that sucks

[woven drift]

Yeah before you dig up the fossil

The little star

[topaz sphinx]

Oh

[woven drift]

I hate it it makes me itchy

I’m doing like a.. residential zone I guess we could call it, none have backyards but they all have like a park and stuff in the center of the zone

That’s why it’s all so closed together

I will make my bf go dig up the fossils for me so I don’t have to do it

Not everyone will live in the residential zone tho, others will have backyards and stuff

[topaz sphinx]

I have trypotophobia also, I cant pick up wasp nests

[woven drift]

ME NEITHER

I hate them so much

[topaz sphinx]

It's like "I need for medicine

But eh"

[woven drift]

I’ve resorted to just getting materials from other people and not cutting down trees

[topaz sphinx]

I just leave the nests there until it gets too crazy

Then I use the clean-up tool to bin them

After that I pick all of them up in one stack and throw them in the trashcan

Rip

Unless they make a recipe for froggy chair and it needs a wasps nest, it can go to the garbage

[woven drift]

Yes I will literally neck myself if so

[smoky nacelle]

Froggy chair DLC

[topaz sphinx]

I'll pay

[smoky nacelle]

Same

[polar salmon]

Is it possible to customize a regular chair or no

[topaz sphinx]

Wooden ones and some others

[twin flame]

This is my island design

[smoky nacelle]

Looks very neat

I like it

[polar salmon]

Really nice

Meanwhile I have a design that accidentally caused a clown face to appear on the island

[smoky nacelle]

Lmao

[twin flame]

lol

[polar salmon]

It frightens me ::

[smoky nacelle]

Lol

[inner fiber]

@quick fable which dinosaur fossil is that in the back?

[quick fable]

Diplodocus

[topaz sphinx]

Gaseuntite

[polar salmon]

Oof I just finished my fossil collection

[topaz sphinx]

Hmmmm

[inner fiber]

ty!!

[topaz sphinx]

@woven drift

Can you make a Kabuki theatre?

[woven drift]

A what

[woven drift]

Oh is it hard to make

[topaz sphinx]

Well

It's just an open stage theatre

[woven drift]

Hmm I’ll try

[topaz sphinx]

And because you can use face paint and masks, you can even have actors

Oh man lol And also you can do an entire show using reaction emotions since it was a very expressive form of theatre

[woven drift]

I just don’t know where to start or what to do lol

[topaz sphinx]

I'd say if you get the wood panel construction panel

Make a stage, put a gate and some infastructure behind it

[woven drift]

Where do you get those

[topaz sphinx]

Get some basic props

Nook store

[woven drift]

I have no idea how to do this time for YouTube tutorials lol

[topaz sphinx]

I doubt theres one for kabuki theatre

I can just make it and show you I guess

[woven drift]

no im so glad i decided to clear my map of all cliffs and rivers because rebuilding an entire main river is the most excruciating thing i've ever done

i am: an idiot

lol

pro tip never clear out everything unless u have a hardcore plan

Otherwise u will get overwhelmed

i do have a plan its just ANNOYING to rebuild

ah

aaaah

well that’s ac for you

cus i have to get the shape just right like the way the river bends etc

then comes the process of making it look natural :p

[cerulean belfry]

I would take a video of the front entrance to my house but I don’t have boost

[woven drift]

How do you take a actual video on your switch instead of 30 seconds

[topaz sphinx]

Do what you wanna record

[woven drift]

Do I have to spend money on a capture card

[topaz sphinx]

Hold down snapshot for 1 second

post to twitter

[cerulean belfry]

Yes

[topaz sphinx]

link tweet

[cerulean belfry]

And that

Ohhh

Thanks for the tip

Now I jsut have to get twitter lol

Also l love the floor lights

[woven drift]

This youtuber is so annoying I want to punch him

[topaz sphinx]

Floor lights = top tier investment

Just to have it in catalog

[woven drift]

He keeps making gnome and axe jokes UGHHH

[cerulean belfry]

Although idk if I like that specific color... but hey, too late to change it now

[next ginkgo]

How many color floor lights are there?

[cerulean belfry]

A few

The one I use in the majority is light blue

[next ginkgo]

Blue, green, orange

[cerulean belfry]

I think it’s the most versatile

[next ginkgo]

Is all I know of

[obtuse glen]

I have white and pink/purple

[next ginkgo]

That's cool

[stuck crescent]

what yall think

[cerulean belfry]

@obtuse glen you have pink?

Dang

[orchid frigate]

can i visit anyones island to find inspo for mine pls?

[cerulean belfry]

@orchid frigate you’re welcome to come over

[obtuse glen]

@cerulean belfry I can bring it for you to register

Also want inspiration!!

[orchid frigate]

okay ty! just dm me your dodo code

[zealous crypt]

Help I’m trying to terrabuild my island into accommodating 11 homes any tips ?

[next ginkgo]

Make it 12

Lol

[cerulean belfry]

@obtuse glen should I send you my code too?

[obtuse glen]

10 villager homes is the max

[zealous crypt]

Yeah plus my house tho

[obtuse glen]

@cerulean belfry yes please!

[next ginkgo]

Yeah but building squares

Easier to plan for rows of 3 when you have 12

Maybe a campsite or second can feel last lot

[topaz sphinx]

Do what I did

One set of 6, one set of 4

And then sort yours in a central area

[zealous crypt]

May I see ur map if you do not mind

[cerulean belfry]

I would NEVER have my house by the villagers... how dare those plebeians think they are even close to my standing

Lmao

[topaz sphinx]

Thats why I'm on my own separate cliff area

[next ginkgo]

It costs 50k per villager so make sure you plan out ahead of time

[topaz sphinx]

Theyre in the slums

[zealous crypt]

Aww I love my villagers I wanna live near them

Yeah I’m really trying to not have to do this again or im going to go broke

[next ginkgo]

I just spent 1.5 mil moving stuff lol

[zealous crypt]

Ooooofffff

[next ginkgo]

But it's not getting moved again so all good lol

[quasi eagle]

what's the minimum distance between two ramps if i want to make them go up twice O: like in a vertical line

[topaz sphinx]

3x3

iirc

[quasi eagle]

ty!

[topaz sphinx]

One row to link to, one to link from, and one so the game reads it as a "stable" piece of land

[quasi eagle]

ok

and ramps themselves are 3x2 right

[topaz sphinx]

yeah

[quasi eagle]

• the 1 at the end where it touches the land

[woven drift]

@cerulean belfry thats right thats right

[topaz sphinx]

So you could technically do a 3x2

But its a lot harder

So a 3x4 is better for looks

[woven drift]

they cant even get to my house 😭😂

[topaz sphinx]

Link it to the middle and put lights on the side parts

[jagged mica]

was gna make this cool entrance to my town but i cant bc my town hall cant be moved >:|

[topaz sphinx]

rip

[zealous crypt]

This is so hard 😭😭😭

[cerulean belfry]

Sometimes I see those peasants trying to walk into my front yard... they have overstepped

[latent breach]

@cerulean belfry can i see what your map looks like?

[stuck crescent]

what's the max # of bridges and inclines you can have?

[rigid geyser]

8

[stuck crescent]

each or total?

[rigid geyser]

total

[stuck crescent]

oh yikes

[woven drift]

wait what

8 total?

[topaz sphinx]

yep

[latent breach]

damn...

[woven drift]

damn well thats good i never wanted bridges anyways lol

[stuck crescent]

there goes my master plan rip

[woven drift]

already have 8 ramps

[topaz sphinx]

Of course if you need I can just teach you how to make cool bridges with the kit

[woven drift]

I have 9 things in total

[topaz sphinx]

😛

[woven drift]

I think it’s each idk

[stuck crescent]

oh?

[woven drift]

each would make more sense

[zealous crypt]

Now many layers of ground can you have

[topaz sphinx]

8 ramps, 8 bridges

[stuck crescent]

master plan liiiives

[latent breach]

my map is nice i just need to play around with elevation more

[quasi eagle]

sorry i wanna double check again about the ramps, put down a pattern to make units clear
so between these 2 cliffs, i need 5 spaces
1 space for the bottom ramp, 1 space "stable land", 3 space for the top ramp

[topaz sphinx]

yes

[inner star]

do u have to pay everytime you want to move something?

[quasi eagle]

ty!

[topaz sphinx]

to my knowledge

I recommend just imagine checking both layers

If neither touches the safe square then youre good

[quasi eagle]

ok!

[woven drift]

i have two ramps like that @quasi eagle

if u want me to show u a ss

[quasi eagle]

yes please!

[zealous crypt]

Does anyone have homes On inclined ground ? does that work😅😅😅😅

[topaz sphinx]

nope

ground must be "stable" aka flat

[woven drift]

hope this helps lol

thats the closest they could be

[topaz sphinx]

yep 1 square apart

I'm a genius!

[quasi eagle]

🆗

[pearl rune]

What is your house dimensions? I don't think I can center a 2 width path with the door?

[quasi eagle]

4 x 7 iirc

[cerulean belfry]

Hope you had a nice time cjay

[quasi eagle]

or is it 3x7?

[woven drift]

has to be 3 or 1 to center it with the door

[lime ferry]

anybody know what item this is?

[pearl rune]

Hmmmm trying to figure out how I could go from staircase to house then...

[quasi eagle]

@lime ferry market place decoration, it's a pocket camp item

[woven drift]

You can’t @pearl rune

It blocks flow of traffic

[tranquil rivet]

Bamboo Blossom Park :))

[lime ferry]

@quasi eagle theyre available for people in their nook miles catalog right?

for people with pocket camp

linked

[woven drift]

@tranquil rivet 10/10

How do you link for pocket camp? I have items

[quasi eagle]

not nook miles, it's in special goods catalog for us, we can order it with bells. (the big button on nook shopping screen)

[tranquil rivet]

Thank you :3

[lime ferry]

can they be traded?

to non camp

well anyone i guess lol

[quasi eagle]

@lime ferry yes! other people just can't reorder it

@woven drift check in #bulletin-board📢 march 22

[lime ferry]

got it, thanks yue

[woven drift]

@lime ferry i could give you 2 for free if you would like

[lime ferry]

[tranquil rivet]

Anyone have the idea of having paths on the beach?!

[lime ferry]

Y’all like my area

I’m making islands on my island

[lime ferry]

[woven drift]

uhh

[pearl rune]

i need inspiration for what people's houses look like.

[lime ferry]

we should dm lol

[pearl rune]

on the outside

[woven drift]

sure

Oh

[tranquil rivet]

@woven drift I like it :3

[woven drift]

My house on the inside is fully upgraded but has NOTHING in it, I use it for storage

[tranquil rivet]

Haha, I’m stuck without terraforming til tomorrow, havent time skipped as a challenge

[wraith pawn]

Woooo my main path from south to north is finished!! Now i just have to do... the rest of the island lol

[zealous crypt]

I need inspiration on how to map my island if anyone is willing to share please do

[wraith pawn]

Some highlights...

[woven drift]

@pearl rune

Also @tranquil rivet , here is my island map so far, hope you can see what I’m going for

@woven drift ok that owns

[woven drift]

I wish you could remove the sand

I place the waterfalls and items so it blocks you from seeing it

[wraith pawn]

Cant wait to get flowers in here

[woven drift]

So it will look like small mini islands

[tranquil rivet]

@woven drift i love all the water!

[woven drift]

Amazing @wraith pawn

[tranquil rivet]

I love the night time music on AC :3

[wraith pawn]

Ty!

[woven drift]

Thanks

[hollow dawn]

@woven drift super cool

[woven drift]

2AM is my fav

Lol does anyone got roses, I think they would look good on some of the waterfall edges

[tranquil rivet]

The present distracted me xD

[woven drift]

I would NOT recommend to make your island have mini islands

It takes hours upon hours of just terraforming

[tranquil rivet]

Woahhhh, i got the cherry blossom wand!

[woven drift]

I’ve put like 8-9 hours

Same 😄

[tranquil rivet]

Yo thats awesome

[woven drift]

the more hours put into it the better

I like it @tranquil rivet , but why trees in the middle of the road?

Yes but like I usually space out and mess something up, I usually take breaks every 2-3 hours

[tranquil rivet]

For symmetry on both sides

[woven drift]

Oh

[old aurora]

@tranquil rivet are u at 5 star rating? :0

[tranquil rivet]

Tbh it honestly looks emptier without them 😂

[crude birch]

Would love to host people to visit

[tranquil rivet]

I’m not sadly, ironically i have too many trees xD

[old aurora]

LOL

[woven drift]

anyone else here putting palm trees on their island?

[tranquil rivet]

Current project is having two more houses on this mountain

[topaz sphinx]

I have them

[tranquil rivet]

I have them!

[woven drift]

like on the grass?

[tranquil rivet]

That’s impossible lmaoo

I tried xD

Lets say the seed were chilling there for a couple of days

Like irl days

[tranquil rivet]

Wahhhhh

I like it!! I wonder why mine werent growing then :/

[woven drift]

i put down 2 tiles of samd then put a tree on it

then erase the 2nd time of sand

[tranquil rivet]

Oooh

Yeahh i cant do that yet xD

[woven drift]

u can see a little sand under them so thats why ima grow flowers around mine

[tranquil rivet]

Ooh i see it

[woven drift]

the cocnut trees give it a lot more of a resort island vibe

[tranquil rivet]

Making another plaza as a market

[woven drift]

that owns

[open arch]

i’m so happy with the progress i made. i just finished setting up an onset and an orchard on the top left, then i’ll move the houses to match the direction of the big heart. and i’ll install a second incline on the heart

so tedious but i can’t wait to finish laying out everything then pathing 😛

you guys like so far?

[pure pecan]

does anyone have thier gates open , I need some inspiration

[fast hull]

thats very cute i love it

[topaz sphinx]

I've got a secret project thats going really well

I'm excited

[woven drift]

I’m so so close to five stars

Just need more fencing, furniture and a bit more flowers

[open arch]

@fast hull thank you:=

[topaz sphinx]

Cosmic

[woven drift]

[topaz sphinx]

I'll invite you once I'm done

[woven drift]

Okiee

[topaz sphinx]

This ones for you

[woven drift]

Ooo I feel special

[topaz sphinx]

You should

But

I need something

Do you have 25 bamboo shoots?

😮

[woven drift]

Unfortunately I haven’t been getting bamboo islands so atm no

[topaz sphinx]

Poop

[woven drift]

OMG, on the left side of the map where the houses and the museum island are I lined it perfectly on accident so now I can make a huge island or two big island, ima make a island for resources and island for house 😄

[quiet arrow]

Are there any good online guides for tips before starting a major teraforming project?

[woven drift]

Look it up on YouTube, you might find something there

Beautiful

Diagonal bridge solution!

Could I buy like 3 cherries :3

Haha thank you I coudlnt cope with it otherwise

Oh please come over and pick ALL of my fruit

!

And give me some pointers

On my island?

I got all. Native orange so you can cash in!

[quiet arrow]

I've been looking a bit. Just can't see much.

Like, should I just chop down all the trees, and clear everything out of the way first? Etc

[woven drift]

I'm looking for some tips myself. You're free to come over and pick up fruit too

I'll set up a dodo code for you both!

[steel hearth]

When/ or how do I unlock terraforming?

[woven drift]

After you've successfully completed project k

Without spoiling anything:P

[steel hearth]

Okay, so I have ages🤣👍🏾

[woven drift]

Okay whoever else wants to come over is welcome. Please leave my money trees alone I'll immediately dc if I see they're gone @woven drift 9LYR6

Project K takes fucking forever just try your best

I had to do it twice and got it down the second time after I reset my island

[topaz sphinx]

Cosmic

[woven drift]

Hm

[topaz sphinx]

I'm almost ready

[woven drift]

Okiee yay

[topaz sphinx]

Wanna come over?

[woven drift]

[woven drift]

Ah my code was wrong

[heavy summit]

CFWL8 if u wanna visit my WIP prison island

[cerulean belfry]

Wow I love these themes

[cerulean belfry]

Ooo the diagonal bridge is underrated

[tulip wedge]

bridges can be place on 4 wide rivers right?

[woven drift]

I have so many

[cerulean belfry]

@woven drift the incline kinda reminds me of an elite 4 entrance lol

[woven drift]

Yepp

Do you have a stone lion statue for me

[cerulean belfry]

Ah no I don’t, but if you need a place to craft cherry lanturns, the wand, etc, come over tommaorw

[woven drift]

Oh I just got the recipe

I'm about to craft the lanterns

<3

Thank you tjough!

[cerulean belfry]

Ooo that is such a great idea for the museum!

So grand

I have those raccoon statues tho

I think they are superior lololol

[woven drift]

As do i

[cerulean belfry]

Kinda giving me nyc public library vibes there with the grandness and the stone lion

Look at that mini island!!!

[brisk sedge]

How are you guys so creative

[cerulean belfry]

What are this mode lanturns?

Thoose

[woven drift]

Stone lanterns

[cerulean belfry]

Oooo

[woven drift]

18 stones or so

Relatively cheap

[cerulean belfry]

I want to put stone archways EVERYWHERE

but they’re 90 stone

Lmao

[woven drift]

This one is still my fave shot

how do i get em

Sorry for spamming with pics so often

[cerulean belfry]

No my tune

Turn

My front lawn for my house

[woven drift]

how do i get those lights

Wow

[cerulean belfry]

They can be found randomly on the nook shopping

Did you know?

If you buy 100 things it becomes a phone app

[topaz sphinx]

?

[cerulean belfry]

So I don’t have to go to that stupid machine anymore

[topaz sphinx]

Oh

Nook shop

[glass onyx]

Wait fr??

[woven drift]

they cost miles or bells?

[topaz sphinx]

bells

[woven drift]

i dont mind visiting isabelle and nook hahah

[glass onyx]

I need to start buying from there more often 😰😰

[cerulean belfry]

Bells

[glass onyx]

The nook stop is genuinely so annoying

[cerulean belfry]

Very

And the terminal is painful to use

[woven drift]

i hate tom nook hes a fcking scammer

[glass onyx]

Ugh fr,, I wonder how many things I’ve bought alreadyyy

that’s what,, 20 days worth of buying?? So far awayyyy

[cerulean belfry]

Doing my own level of spam heehee

I can’t stopp lol

Oh jeez did I scare everyone off 😭😭

[topaz sphinx]

sorry

about to blow minds

[neat tree]

Coming to a very burdening realization that I shouldn’t have planted all those flowers

[cerulean belfry]

I never planted more than like 10 total

[steel hearth]

Project K takes fucking forever just try your best
@woven drift any tips?

[cerulean belfry]

@topaz sphinx I’m curious

[neat tree]

I thought they could go in storage I was very wrong

the amount of hours ahead of me is disheartening

[cerulean belfry]

You could just sell them all

[sinful saffron]

Coffee shop finished

[neat tree]

yeah I could, you’re right. It just sucks to pick them up, and have to get a full inventory and sell then keep picking up

[cerulean belfry]

Oh that is cute!!!! @sinful saffron, although I’m sure there is a light source that would fit the aethtic better than green floor lights

Aesthetic

[sharp geode]

how do you guys come up with ideas for your map

[cerulean belfry]

I look at my own neighborhood lol

[sinful saffron]

What did you have in mind ?

[sharp geode]

im stuck trying to connect to rivers into a square but i dont think i like that lmao

i have nothing lmao

actually not creative

[cerulean belfry]

@sinful saffron garden lights- the black ones.

[sharp geode]

i already made a zen garden on one of the mountains though

[sinful saffron]

How about an arcade or a market

[sharp geode]

and a playground

[sinful saffron]

Okay no problem

I have a play park

[sharp geode]

i'd like to make my river look nice though

rn on my map it looks kinda bad :/

[cerulean belfry]

You could use the new bunny day lamps

They look great outdoes

Outdoors

[neat tree]

What’s around your museum

[cerulean belfry]

My market

[neat tree]

build the area up around that. Put a fossil around it

[sinful saffron]

In front of museum

[cerulean belfry]

Well that is an idea I DEF won’t be taking cough cough

[sinful saffron]

Took me ages to get the Trex torso

[sharp geode]

my playground and map

[sinful saffron]

I would but that’s huge haha

[woven drift]

@sharp geode creativity is definitely a muscle that you work out. i suggest just trying things and messing around in the game and treat it as something that has no bounds. i wouldnt listen to peoples ideas of what to do with an island because i want it exactly how i want it.

[sharp geode]

i will be taking those ideas 👀

[sinful saffron]

I hope your neighbours like each other 😂😂😂

[sharp geode]

i've actually mildly had thoughts to quarantine some of them 😂

[sinful saffron]

😂😂

[sharp geode]

i see i see, but like sometimes after i make stuff i feel like i screwed up and need to remake them again

[neat tree]

It’s not a bad idea to take inspo

I don’t think

[sharp geode]

...like that area on the left with its whole cliff gone and i thought about putting neighbours on multiple levels

[woven drift]

dont focus on symmetry either. i see so much stuff on peoples islands that is symmetrical and it just looks boring idk

[neat tree]

If you’re not time skipping, just trying things can take a serious amount of time to figure out if you keep messing it up lol

[woven drift]

and yeah inso is fine

[sharp geode]

huge turnoff for me rn is definetely the river too

[woven drift]

theres no messing up really

[sinful saffron]

Nope inspiration is fine the best artists and authors need somewhere to start

[solar turret]

I hate that my Plaza isn't centered, can't move it can you?

[neat tree]

I think so. I’m weird about some things. If you commit to a large area and do some math wrong and something doesn’t fit like you thought, moving other things to correct that can be a hassle

[sinful saffron]

Went for the Venice beach look 😂😂

[neat tree]

since it takes a day to move one place

[flint nexus]

I have this going for me in my town

[steel cedar]

Digging the egg day decor

[neat tree]

are your paths raised?

[alpine cape]

Just focus on detailing one area at a time and move on from there. Don’t make any one area the same as another - if you’re doing a ton of pre-planning that’s not just general concept your map will look clinical and have no character

[flint nexus]

Thanks!

I will make it more zen themed and replace it for seasons

[neat tree]

@flint nexus are your paths raised?? Sorry for double post

[alpine cape]

Sorry Fenn that wasn’t critiquing you or anything just general advice haha

[cerulean belfry]

My airport entrance

I love those things

Idek why

Lmao

[sinful saffron]

I swear there not even raccoons

[woven drift]

ur not writing a book or making a song. both have lots of rules and structure to them. you have a video game that gives you the tools to create the island you are gonna spend thousands of hours on. if you keep taking inspiration from people you will end up having an island that looks like most other peoples islands. thats what ive been seeing

also artists create in isolation if u wanna take that route

[alpine cape]

^

[sinful saffron]

Artists have inspiration

[cerulean belfry]

Oop- guess I lf I wanna make anything truly good I gotta leave this place

Don’t wanna get influenced

[sinful saffron]

Designers have inspiration

[neat tree]

I’m literally a musician, so that’s probably where my structured approach comes from

[steel cedar]

There's no harm in taking designs you see other people do, ac is meant to be a happy place so do what makes you happy

[alpine cape]

Yeah but there’s a difference between inspiration and copying. I’m a professional artist and certainly take inspiration from other concepts, but the final piece NEVER even resembles any of my inspiration

[woven drift]

writing a song doesnt correlate with making an island in a video game

maybe a little

[sinful saffron]

Who said anything about writing a song ?

[alpine cape]

Art is art man, soft skills transfer to any medium

[topaz sphinx]

Your island is the song of your soul

[neat tree]

There’s for sure inspo Involved.

And I disagree. My thought process carries over to designing, song writing, art

[autumn stone]

How does someone create a valley for their airport entrance? Or did they just make the rest of their island on a cliff?

[alpine cape]

The rest is raised. Probably not a good idea to have your airport below sea level on a remote island

[neat tree]

Making my entire island raised sounds so bad

[autumn stone]

Damn so they had to have elevate a portion of it and move buildings there

[neat tree]

In terms of time

[autumn stone]

And then elevate the rest and move again

[alpine cape]

@autumn stone No you can put buildings on the beach for temporary placement

or permanent, I don’t judge

[woven drift]

I post my island one time in media and people are begging for my items LOL

[topaz sphinx]

lol

You ready?

[woven drift]

Yeah

[topaz sphinx]

kk

Gimme a sec to finish loading up

[woven drift]

whats the name of that hot tub thing

?

in your little garden in media

Let me go check rq

It is a cypress bathtub @woven drift

ty

[quiet arrow]

@autumn stone No you can put buildings on the beach for temporary placement
@alpine cape can you place all buildings bon the beach? (Except Tom's place)

[uneven eagle]

I wish there was like an index of all the glowy and/or light up stuff in the game that looks nice outside xD

[alpine cape]

[wet cliff]

Hey guys maybe take it to #690093605821480980

[topaz sphinx]

P:

[woven drift]

Are you a mod?

[topaz sphinx]

I'm showcasing part of my island 😦

[wet cliff]

No, we just have no idea what you're talking about when we can't see it XD

[woven drift]

Because multiple people have done the same thing we’re doing about more than 20+ times here just saying lol

[topaz sphinx]

Kabuki theatre

[woven drift]

Alright I’m gonna go back to my island, really nice island I like the layouts

[wet cliff]

Oh dang that's really creative

[topaz sphinx]

sure sure

[woven drift]

Do you want your clothes back

[topaz sphinx]

Keep them

[woven drift]

Alright

[topaz sphinx]

They fit your island

Feel free to use my idea for the theatre

[woven drift]

For sure

[topaz sphinx]

(the picture doesnt show but I had imprial K.K. set up in the back)

[wet cliff]

I keep getting all the un-useful bamboo recipes lol

What's a bamboo stopblock used for?

[topaz sphinx]

Also theres a wardrobe and mirror for costume change and face painting

Full service theatre 😛

[wet cliff]

Aw nifty, u could put on actual plays

[topaz sphinx]

yep

[wet cliff]

That's awesome

[topaz sphinx]

I think I'll keep the theatre actually

I was gonna tear it down after showing cos

but I kinda like it

[woven drift]

It’s very pretty do keep it

[wet cliff]

I wanna come up with something interactive like that

I saw someone do musical chairs which was amazing

[topaz sphinx]

First step is to not tell people to take things to online play 😛

[topaz sphinx]

Kidding of course

Also cute

Thats such a good fit for you Cos

[wet cliff]

Well I wasn't sure how long you were gonna go on for XD

[topaz sphinx]

Art takes time

[woven drift]

I shouldve taken a picture in the zen little meditation garden place

[topaz sphinx]

You still can

[gray patrol]

wip on my island

[topaz sphinx]

Just put down a cushion and do a low angle so it hides it behind the environment roll

Then it'll look like you're meditating

[wet cliff]

Cute! Very neighborhoody

[cunning summit]

rainy 🌧

[gray patrol]

thanks! i still have a lot of houses to move

so that's gonna take a while

[wet cliff]

Oh wow the rain makes it super atmospheric

[gray patrol]

why are the images so small lol

[woven drift]

OMG that’s so pretty

[cunning summit]

i dunno they’re messed up lmao

[topaz sphinx]

Theyre in his wallet

It's a fold down set

[cunning summit]

but thank you ^^

lmao

[wet cliff]

That first one looks hella realistic

[woven drift]

Yeah wtf

[gray patrol]

other parts

[cunning summit]

aw thank you! still a wip 😄

[topaz sphinx]

Man this theatre was a good idea

It takes up so much space that was being wasted before

[wet cliff]

Great start!

[topaz sphinx]

I'm probably close to 5*

[wet cliff]

Nice!!

I've only just begun and nothing is really decorated

[hasty surge]

pathing master

[topaz sphinx]

Flat

Did you see my theatre I made?

[hasty surge]

SHOW!

i missed it!

scrollin

[wet cliff]

I like the ends on the stone fence there

[hasty surge]

OMG

thats so nice

[gray patrol]

thx!

[hasty surge]

thats it. im saving some of these images

inspo folda

[topaz sphinx]

Oh man lucky

Just got floor lights in shop

[woven drift]

Ooo nice

[topaz sphinx]

This is gonna step up my stagecraft a ton

[woven drift]

I got a chalkboard that has japanese writing on it

Doesn’t fit the theme but it’s japanese

[topaz sphinx]

Oooh

Use a tea set

[hasty surge]

nooooice

[woven drift]

These pictures are turning out so nice

[jaunty flicker]

This is me sat down on a stool

[woven drift]

Are your eyes okay

[jaunty flicker]

Yes

[woven drift]

They don’t look okay

[jaunty flicker]

Well they are and this is 100% not edited

[woven drift]

Kk lol

[steel granite]

greetings

[jaunty flicker]

Ok it is edited

[stuck crow]

everyones got all these planned out islands while people like me just have all their buildings and homes put anywhere

[past horizon]

Any ideas to make anything look better?

[hasty surge]

lmfao "ok it is edited"

[jaunty flicker]

You could tell the hair it was like the original colours of the rela photo

[steel granite]

i have garbage and furniture stuff everywhere cause i need to kk to come to my island now its taking me a billion years to clean up everything

needed*

[woven drift]

Ripp

[steel granite]

rip indeed

[woven drift]

When I did that task I put furniture I actually liked so it was no issue cleaning up

[jaunty flicker]

Oooo can I come of my birthday to get some weeds

[woven drift]

Pays off in the end

[jaunty flicker]

I need weeds

[steel granite]

i couldnt get any good furniture at the time

i didnt want to put any furniture down until i changed my island layout

[woven drift]

So many people struggle with that task I feel bad i wanna help them but I’m lazy

[hasty surge]

damn I really want a pagoda

[jaunty flicker]

I am making a custom animal crossing character of me

[steel granite]

nice

[past horizon]

Any ideas on how to make this look better?

[woven drift]

It already looks good but better? Hmmm

Flowers

[steel granite]

a some benches and nice path work on the sides

[woven drift]

That too

[steel granite]

and flowers yes

[woven drift]

You can make a zen garden

[steel granite]

im trying to make my island symetrical but its not working

[past horizon]

Ok

[topaz sphinx]

Dont try to make the whole thing symmetrical

[steel granite]

ik im being OCD

lol

[topaz sphinx]

Instead make parts of it symmetrical within the whole

You can have symmetry in sections which will all come together to make a neat and organized island on the whole

[steel granite]

omg everyone here is so much smarter than me

[topaz sphinx]

I wouldnt say that

I've just been there

[woven drift]

I made my entrance symmetrical and some parts and then the rest is not super symmetrical an

[topaz sphinx]

Not knowledge, just experience

[woven drift]

I’m trying to make a modern but vintage type japanese themed island

[topaz sphinx]

Cos has a killer Pagota

😛

[steel granite]

i hate the cherry blossoms on my island so much

[sour abyss]

anyone have their island open?

[woven drift]

TT to get rid of them

[topaz sphinx]

Actually Cos, do you need floor lights?

[woven drift]

@sour abyss I mean I can open mine

Sure I’ll take some if you have some spares

Would be good for my entrance

[sour abyss]

im just looking to get some inspiration lol

[topaz sphinx]

I dunno about "some spares" lol

[woven drift]

o

It’s okay then lol

[topaz sphinx]

But I can just mail order more so if you don't have them yet

You can take the one

And then order yours

[woven drift]

Oh true it’ll show up in my catalogue

[topaz sphinx]

Yeah

[steel granite]

i got a nintendo switch online membership for one month and havent even played in like 3 days

[woven drift]

I got mine for a year LOL

[wraith pawn]

Personally i know i’ll never be able to make my island as neat and organized to the point that i’d be satisfied with it, so I’m just going for a completely asymmetrical, organic ruins look to mine

[steel granite]

omg lucky

[molten gust]

What’s the deal w the guy who supposedly duped a ton of NMT

[woven drift]

I begged my bf for 20$ to get it

[steel granite]

i dont wanna ask for year cause my mom will say no

[molten gust]

Using the sleep mode thing

Oops

[woven drift]

Wait what NMT thing

[molten gust]

Wrong thread

Lol

[woven drift]

👀

[steel granite]

honestly 20$ is pretty good for a year

[woven drift]

Do tell me in #glitches-archived please

[topaz sphinx]

lol

They patched it out in 1.1.3 iirc

unless its a different one

[steel granite]

i got a month for 96 cents

cause i had points from buying AC

wait what glitch did they patch

[topaz sphinx]

Anyways Cos my gate is still open

You're welcome to swing back through and grab the floor light

[woven drift]

The original dupe glitch @steel granite

People were getting TONS of bells

[steel granite]

oh, i dont think ive heard of that one

how would you do it?

[woven drift]

And now trade chat isn’t the same because people have millions of bells from it and overprice their shit and it’s hard to buy stuff from people

[steel granite]

wow

[topaz sphinx]

Yeah

Though I got my millions from the stalk market lol

[steel granite]

ive just been selling spiders and adding money to my bank account and skip 40 years

[wraith pawn]

Yeah i agree, its hard to buy stuff when every thing costs 1mil and youre not in on glitches or TT

[topaz sphinx]

By the by Sophia, you're welcome to come to my island also

[woven drift]

I’m not entirely sure how people would do it, all I know is people would get the switch item, put it on a box, and then turn the item as the other person grabs it

[steel granite]

i got all the fruits now

[topaz sphinx]

8FQGW

[woven drift]

And the item essentially stays on the box infinitely duping it

[topaz sphinx]

Cos, come get your light

[woven drift]

Alright

[steel granite]

but the peaches i bought from this one girl were so expensive

[woven drift]

How much did she charge?

[topaz sphinx]

Dont say 20k

It'll hurt my heart

[steel granite]

like 60k

[wraith pawn]

Ppl are charging for fruit??? That shit should be free lol

[steel granite]

for a stack

[woven drift]

WHAT

for FRUITS

[topaz sphinx]

HRRRG

[steel granite]

ikr

[topaz sphinx]

Please tell me you didnt buy

[woven drift]

I’d understand for like pears

But peaches

[wraith pawn]

The economy

[topaz sphinx]

lol

[stuck crow]

fruit are like 5k a stack theyre not that expensive

[steel granite]

lol

[dense spade]

Hey guys, any advice on this?

[wraith pawn]

Wait pears are worth something??

[topaz sphinx]

Ikr

I'm rolling in pears

[woven drift]

Pears are hard to get

[steel granite]

im so mad i planted 99k bells in a golden spot and thought it would triple it but it just gave me 3k in total

[woven drift]

For me at least it’s hard to find them with NMT

[topaz sphinx]

rofl

[wraith pawn]

Native fruit pears ayyyy

[stuck crow]

just make a fruit farm

[woven drift]

^

[steel granite]

ugh i got oranges as my native fruit

[topaz sphinx]

I got cherries

[woven drift]

I have all the fruits atm

[steel granite]

same

[topaz sphinx]

Which means I get the best furnature

[woven drift]

My native is cherries

[stuck crow]

cherry gang rise up

[steel granite]

oranges are cute but they suck

[wraith pawn]

I wanted apples or peaches or cherries but.... i do really like pears irl so i settled

[dense spade]

Is this fine?

[woven drift]

Yes it’s fine

Why wouldn’t it be lol

[wraith pawn]

That looks good!

[steel granite]
