Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.
Actually, scratch what I said earlier - on the official site, there's a picture with nine animal villagers, so I suspect it'll be 10 at the very least

Imo with the movable buildings, they should let you have unlimited neighbours; the only limit is how many you are able/willing to fit.

Also, By the look of it, you can get different types of bags. Im not sure if its tied what your wearing or if its an item on its own but it is neat.

I can't decide at all on what kind of village I wanna make.

I'm split between wanting to do a fairy tale theme or a sand castle one.

I'm split between a traditional Japanese "Zen" town, and a post-industrial run down feel, with trash and tires all around. I feel the map's big enough that you might be able to do a couple "villages" on your island.

I want to do a dense town by the port, and then make another cluster of buildings in or near the mountains, with most of the island remaining wilderness with paths through it. Maybe try to make the main town all pretty and pristine, with Japanese lanterns and poo poo, with the trash town hidden in the woods.

Putting furniture outside and being able to place villagers houses is such an amazing concept. There's so much we'll be able to do in this game!

I want to split my town. Want to do an Egyptian/desert portion with Ankha and Lucky if I can get them. Seems really easy to make sand with these new floor tiles. Then maybe a Victorian portion with beardo as a detective.

The rest of my town will probably be fairy tale themed unless there’s something I like more. I loved the fairy tale bridge in new leaf.

Honestly they've ramped up the town customization so much I'm actually worried about the size of the map.

I feel like I'm inevitably gonna have a ton of ideas and not be able to realize most of em because I only have one town to work with.

Wonder how much influence you can have over your neighbours. Was annoying that they kept ruining their unique and curated house themes to throw in completely random crap.

Husband and I were planning to set up the island like a Polynesian resort. With the terraforming and placing villager houses, we could even have different "tiers" of houses like you would at a resort. Villager we like? Oh he gets a house on the beach, or even the overwater bungalo~. Villagers we don't like get the cheaper rooms with no ocean view.

I'll probably remake the entire island several times depending on my whims.

I may recreate landmasses in miniature. I wonder if you can divide it up into multiple islands.

There's no indication that you can move stone terrain, and the whole north side of every island we've seen has been stone.

Additionally, every river mouth has had two tiny stones on either side of it, so it's possible that river mouths are fixed. I feel like they might do something like that to prevent any sort of river fish/ocean fish issues. Like if you dig out the beach and create a huge bay, what kind of fish would you catch in it? Beaches are a bit lower than the land anyway, so it's possible you just won't be able to mess with the beaches at all.

Still, the island is huge so you could make a massive lake with whatever kinds of islands you want inside it, I suppose.

It's possible the water tool will be way more flexible than I'm imagining, but at this point I'd guess the beaches, stone terrain, seaport and residence services are going to be fixed locations. I think we've more or less gotten confirmation that literally everything else can be changed.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
They should use the system from Happy Birthdays where by altering the terrain you alter the climate and encourage different creatures to appear

As much as I want it, I doubt it.

Would your friend be able to tell from video? Also from what I'm hearing, it's not GC Animal Crossing flat, but the effect is toned down.

I'm holding off on pre-ordering the game until my limited edition Switch is here. Definitely buying digital, and I've never done a system transfer before, so I'll just buy it on the new console. I know that probably sounds silly, I'm sure the pre-load will carry over just like all the other games, but my brain is just being weird about it. Also I remember when Luigi's Mansion 3 was available for preload like a month before it released, and having to look longingly at the game icon that whole time was torture.

It should adjust automatically with the pre order price guarantee. Double check your order status. Mine reflects the new price.

I took a screenshot of the village map thing in the direct and painted over it. I think this what I wanna go for. A lush valley inside of a crater? I was thinking of putting a player-owned farmhouse in between the rivers and make that a fruit orchard, putting a church and a graveyard at the top of the crater where the water starts, make a winding path follow the rightmost river and do some dense urban development, fully paved with a road and houses all arranged in 1x3 city blocks. Hoping the terraforming tools are at least robust enough to get me somewhere like this. All I gotta do is make sure I start with one river mouth near the airport and I should've have to worry about the limitations of the terraforming system.
