If you don't want to know anymore about Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer, you probably shouldn't read this post. I'll be talking about some of the recent Japanese version footage I've seen....
WOW! As you can see in the picture above, Happy Home Designer has a character creator! This is a first for the Animal Crossing franchise. I really hope that this carries over to the next full entry in the Animal Crossing series. The creator looks easy to use and has a lot of options. You can pick what eyes your character has, eye color, hair, hair color, and skin color! Gone are the days of looking up how to get what kind of character want!
I also love the furniture customization that I saw in a recent video that Jennifer Christensen did! Its pretty amazing. You don't need Cyrus anymore. You use play coins to learn how to customize furniture and then when you are decorating houses, you take items and change them!! Its very easy too, you just drag the items to a menu and then just scroll through the menu!! Looks so great.
Speaking of Jennifer, if you want to see a TON more of this game, you should watch her live streams here or here (archived). She is showing off a lot of footage of the game. Its all in Japanese, but she knows Japanese and translates a bit of the dialogue!
There are so many things I love about this new game. I like that you can put the houses anywhere and that you can (apparently) have as many animals as you want. There is no real town. So you are just putting the houses in areas and then you can warp back to visit the animals houses whenever you want. Also there is no real time aspect to this game, so you create one house per day, end the day, and then can go to the next day if you want. I will miss the real time aspect but its appropriate that this game doesn't have it. You'll be able to play the game at whatever pace you want. You can play as many "days" as you want or just play a little.
I think Happy Home Designer is going to be extremely addictive. I can't wait to start building houses and places like schools, hospitals, etc!
Is it September yet?!
