![]() ![]() Each town is made up of only 16 acres (four across and four down), giving Wild World the smallest town map of any game in the Animal Crossing series. The bug and fish that appear in the acre are determined by their rarity.Īnimal Crossing: Wild World is the first game in the series to feature a scrolling rounded-world design. However, fish can move with the river current and end up in the next acre. Bugs cannot move outside of an acre should a Banded Dragonfly fly outside of the acre it will fly up and disappear. ![]() The bug and fish within the acre disappear upon moving six squares away from that acre. Acres are marked on the map, with columns being labeled 1 through 5 and rows being labeled A through F in Animal Crossing in Japanese versions, including Doubutsu no Mori e+, both columns and rows are labeled with numbers.Įvery time the player moves into an acre (with the exception of a player exiting their house upon loading the game), one fish and one bug spawn at the locations programmed within the acre data. Town maps are generated semi-randomly some acre models may only appear in a designated space (the train station is always located in Acre A-3) while others are more flexible. Yellow: New Horizons In Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+ ĭoubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+ feature a town measuring six acres across by five down. Just to be safe though, you should probably design your island sooner rather than later.Graphic comparing the acre count of each Animal Crossing title. Worth noting is that Happy Island Designer is free of any real, direct mention of Animal Crossing, so it might be able to escape from Nintendo’s Sauron-like gaze when it comes to fan projects. For every person out there who just wants to write a swear on their own Animal Crossing: New Horizons island, there’s probably at least one other person who wants to do that and is learning Javascript at the same time. I’m sure that means something to somebody, and it’s cool that public repositories like Github exist so people can share their work for the benefit of others. It’s chock full of color-coded junk just like this: Since this whole thing is on Github, the codely-minded of you can inspect and download eugeneration’s Javascript at your leisure. I guess Tom Nook has the ability to move an island wherever he wants on the globe? Or maybe he owns two different, identical islands one in each hemisphere? I’ve got questions, Nintendo.) (Though Nintendo has specified that players can choose which hemisphere their island is located in, it hasn’t said anything about there being different islands to choose from. Happy Island Designer’s default map is a recreation of the island in the above Nintendo Direct, as seen at the 10:54 mark, which is likely to be everyone‘s island. Whether this level of freedom will be reflected by the actual tools in Animal Crossing: New Horizons remains to be seen, but as we recently found out in the Nintendo Direct embedded below, said tools will be the most generous we’ve ever had access to in the series’ 19-year history. There seems to be no limit to the number of structures or landmarks you can place on your island, nor is there a limit to how much landmass you can add or carve away. In its current form, Happy Island Designer allows for six different terrain options (rocks, water, sand, and three types of green), as well as four path options, 15 structure markers, and 13 amenity icons for things like airports, Resident Services, Nook’s Cranny (still gross), lighthouses, and more. As can be seen above, I was able to design a friendly archipelago collectively known as the Butt Islands, which I hope to eventually realize in my own personal Animal Crossing: New Horizons save. ![]() Never before has the allure of a sunny, private island been so strong, and while we’ve still got some time to wait before absconding with Isabelle once again, we can at least use this fun new app to start planning ahead.Īvailable on Github, Happy Island Designer is a fan project by user eugeneration that - you guessed it! - allows one to happily design their own island ahead of next Friday’s release. The highly-anticipated launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is just 11 days away, but that doesn’t make the wait any less interminable for the millions of fans seeking to escape our rapidly spiraling hellworld. ![]()
