![]() ![]() I'm also not a big fan of my first two neighbors that moved in-but don't tell them I said that. The music those first eight or so days dang near drove me insane. Do you remember that lovely music that would change each hour? That didn't even kick in until Tom was able to open up a Resident Services building that wasn't just a tent. Life on the island took longer than usual to really get going. At least there are more PRO Design templates to choose from this time. (Have you played that yet, Anchovy?) I can type messages using the screen, but I can't sketch a design it's very odd. I have to go pixel-by-pixel using the D-Pad, and can't even use a stylus to draw like in Super Mario Maker 2. The downside is that unlike my last town, designing is just as clunky as it was back when you were my neighbor. I also designed a stylish brown checkered print, which I put on my Nook Phone case. I made a sweater like the one worn by a character of one of my favorite video games, Yume Nikki. Personally, I'm still more into making my own clothes, just like I did back when we were mere city folk, and when I was turning over a new leaf. Oh right: and the Able Sisters are here! They've opened up a shop where every day they have new clothes on display. We can spend Nook Miles on neat things like recipes or furniture, or a flight on Dodo Airlines to another deserted island to explore for supplies like wood, weeds, flowers, even- shudder-tarantulas. No one can say there's "nothing to do" now, because we have goals to work toward. It's another solution to what our neighbors in nearby towns used to often complain about. There are daily challenges too-your first five are worth 2x to 5x points, depending-which constantly rotate out, so you're never without a way to earn Nook Miles. Basically, we have punch cards where once you, say, catch 500 fish, you get a punch on your "Angling for Perfection!" card and a healthy dose of bonus Nook Miles points. Tom did do one nice thing: He signed me up for Nook Miles, a new rewards program that gives us "points" like a credit card, but with none of the baggage. who lets me sell fish to him for an even higher price every now and then. There's even a "seasports" streamer named C.J. So, it's a good thing I'm a master fisherman and bug catcher. I've been helping Tom with building bridges and stairs across the island too, which each cost hundreds of thousands of Bells. I've met a few animals, like Jacques, who decided to move here to the island on a whim-I can't even imagine how much he owes Tom. He never charges interest though, which I appreciate. We will have impressions on how smoothly the multiplayer runs at a later date.Īs for Tom, yes, he still charges us insane living costs. We also weren't able to see how it is to share an island between multiple players on a single console. Unfortunately, servers for Animal Crossing: New Horizons were not live during the review period, and thus, we were unable to test out the up-to-8-player multiplayer. (I'll get to it eventually.) My recipe book for what I can make gets bigger with each day. I have immediate and long term goals now, like crafting a giant mech to plop somewhere in town. At first it's a little annoying-grinding for one teensy material so that I can appease Tom Nook in some way-but as the weeks have stretched on, I've come to find it satisfying. I'm always worried I'm going to take a stray one with me when I leave, but they always stay put. The museum here is so impressive too: There's a neat butterfly exhibit for all the ones I've caught. ![]() We can craft tools to help us fish we can catch bugs, and we can even dig up fossils to donate to good ol' Blathers at the museum. There's more to do on Sunset than we could ever do back at home, Anchovy. It's inevitable when I'm rocking braided pigtails, I suppose. It's the most beautiful town I've ever lived in-even if sometimes my tools clip through my hair in an awkward way. My favorite time is in the afternoon, when the sun hits everything just right, so the water looks a dark blue the light green leaves of the cherry trees glisten. The water in the river changes its shade of blue depending on the day. It reminds me of the time I went to Oahu to visit my friend who has the coolest job in the world studying birds and plants. At first, it was deserted, but now a bunch of folks have moved in alongside me. Not for any particular reason life just moved along. I had an assistant named Isabelle, who was so helpful and sweet. I had an ordinance in place to make the town beautiful all the time, so no more weed pulling. Seven-ish years ago, I was even the mayor of a town-can you imagine that! I think I was an okay mayor. So much has changed since we last talked. How are you? When you moved out of our town of Neo-Tokyo in 2009, I couldn't bear to stick around either, so I bounced too. ![]()
