But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a | result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east | of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there | I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realised that | being close to them - being able to spend time with them, talk to | them, play with them - was such a great, important thing. I | wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that | feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal | Crossing." | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuya_Eguchi | Trasmatta wrote: | And now Animal Crossing is helping millions of lonely | quarantined people across the world cope with the current state | of things. It really came out at the perfect time. | 32gbsd wrote: | I get a blank white page.

Twas an amazing game, and | sounds like it still is. | eganist wrote: | They made it a bit easier in ACNH. Best streak I got was six in | a row during hard rain. | ayberk wrote: | Great stuff, thanks a lot! | | May I ask where you get the data from? | krustyburger wrote: | There's an official strategy guide available, so I would guess | that was the original source. | dstaley wrote: | The strategy guide hasn't been published yet, so my guess is | this comes from someone who data mined the game. | oneVoiceOnHN wrote: | This should have been built into the game. Nintendo fans are so | forgiving of glaring flaws. | fourstar wrote: | This is awesome. Did you or someone else illustrate the icons? | They're beautiful. | sawyerjhood wrote: | The fish/bug pictures are straight from the game. All of the | other icons (hemisphere, bells, length, etc...) are made by a | combination of my girlfriend / myself. | bobblywobbles wrote: | Very well done website, thanks for hosting this! | awinder wrote: | Little off-topic but can anyone here compare to Stardew valley? I | feel like I've kinda "finished" stardew after going through the | core story and wondering about switching trains | oneVoiceOnHN wrote: | What did you think of stardew? I thought it was addicting but | terrible. Like an awful cellphone game. | mathgladiator wrote: | The big crazy difference is that Stardew Valley goes faster | while AC is real-time and this is... super frustrating. | eshyong wrote: | The two games have totally different vibes, which is fine. AC | is more for relaxing and unwinding, while SV is more of a | story-driven/objectives-based game. | eshyong wrote: | I've played ~20 hours of Stardew Valley and ~10 hours of Animal | Crossing so far, and the vibe is totally different. Animal | Crossing is slower paced and very relaxing, whereas Stardew | Valley is much more story/character driven. IMO the point of | Animal Crossing is personalization, and making the island your | own space, which I enjoy. It really helps me unwind at the end | of the day. | | At some point, playing Stardew Valley felt like real work, and | that's sort of when I lost interest. | krustyburger wrote: | I'm trying to avoid looking at any outside guides for a good | while, so I can experience things for myself. | | But when I eventually give in, this guide will be handy! | werber wrote: | Looks great on an iphone! How did you get the pics? | aendruk wrote: | Someone ripped the images from the game [1] and uploaded them | to a fan wiki [2], implicitly misrepresenting the content as CC | BY-SA, and then this site hotlinked them. | | [1]: https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:150357#2 | | [2]: https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Fish_(New_Horizons) | keithwhor wrote: | This is great!
