re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Thread (March 20)

Traveled twice last night. No bamboo islands but did snag several giant water bugs, atlas moths and a few tarantulas. Thanks for the help. I see how it works now so I'll be ready for the bamboo island when I find one. Thanks again.

I've just been rolling with it. I'm new to AC and never played Stardew Valley either. I decided that I am not going to do any time traveling. I'm just playing the game. I have read stuff about it on here or looked at people's screenshots on Reddit. One of the biggest things that has helped me was to get the list of bug and fish prices. I think someone posted it earlier. That way you can decide which bugs/fish to keep vs let go when your space is limited. Just enjoy the game at your own pace. I just keep talking to everyone Tom Nook and Blathers and my other villagers and any random people you see. Or I just grind out tasks for miles and catch bugs, cherry blossoms or fish. I'm doing more traveling now though. I also try to keep up with paying off my housing upgrades.

I've dove in, really liking the vibes so far

Yall are going to make me get this game. Never played any of them but sounds like a fun time

So far to me it's Nintendo's super polished version of Stardew Valley, and in all the best ways, with way more stuff

Just using SV as my frame of reference bc I put so much time into it

It is very slow the first 2-3 days. Once you get to the 4th day and past the first week, then stuff really starts opening up. Nintendo designed the game to start slow and slowly build up. If you don't time travel then this game will last you for years

Can someone explain time travel a bit to me? I get the concept and changing system clock.

But how does it work with saves? If I start a build and jump a few days to when it's finished, and save, then set the the clock back to normal, what is the fallout?

Nothing bad happens. If you jump ahead to unlock something then jump back you keep what you unlocked.

The only bad thing I've had happen from time travel is the turnips I had rotted and couldn't be sold.

Otherwise it's great for speeding the game up if you're impatient. I've used it to upgrade my museum faster and upgrade Nooks shop to the bigger level. Today is the first day Nooks opened the bigger shop and there was a 50 inch flat screen for sale.

I agree with you about the museum as well, especially now that I'm completing exhibits.

It strikes me as a good second game (not that it has to be played like that, but it works well in that way). Especially if you have a good bit of free time. You can play something like FF7 and then drop in to this game for 30 minutes or an hour a day.

See that bonfire up top? AC Saban about to beat the shite out of you with a net up there.





Side note, I'm finally satisfied with how the map in our town is set up. The one lone animal house will be moved tomorrow and there will be a river between everyone and the characters.
