Yeah, just the biggest fish shape. Nothing special about it (like a fin). Not too sure what the other large river fish are, I think it sticks out. I could be very wrong on this.

In my experience the large ones don't stick out from those loving black bass, the most metal of all fish. You can barely tell the difference at certain angles

These guys are any river, right? Doesn't matter cliff or ground?

Bunny Day was always one of the more involved holidays, so I guess withhold judgement until the next holiday and see how dumbly that one is implemented. Bunny Day is very phone game level design, though

I think people are overreacting a bit in some regards. You'd think it was the last day to catch a number of fish, but nope. It was the very first day for fish that will be around for months and people were freaking out that they couldn't knock them all out on the first day. This game should be chill, not a race. There's plenty of time to catch those fish.

If they got rid of the water eggs (or gave them a special egg shaped shadow) and toned down the balloons a little the event would be totally fine I think

e: though I'm pretty bad with inventory space so the eggs taking up slots is pretty annoying - it'd be really bad if you didn't have any of the upgrades yet

Not sure if they already had one, but I donated a simple panel to Int'l Dump, and that is the single most widely useful purchasable furniture item I've encountered so far, and maybe in the game? It's a customizable room divider that matches up seamlessly when you place them side by side—I see myself ordering some of these every day until I have enough for the house and town.

its almost exactly the same as the old bunny day except over a longer period because one of the biggest problems and complaints with old ac games was events being a single day and people missing them entirely if they didnt have time to load up and play a game on the day of a major holiday

Very interested in the acquisition of lots of different kinds of intermediaries over a limited time, as a player retention scheme. To get all the Bunny Day stuff in NH you need like 20 of each kind of egg + all the recipes, so thats like 150 collectibles. NL Bunny Day it didn't matter what kind of egg you found, each one had a chance to just give you a piece of the set, much less effort.

Its the kind of stuff that made me not want to play Pocket Camp

I don't want to catch them 12 days later I want to catch them now. I mean, I still did, but it was annoying because of all the egg spawns, which also means I can't chill out late listening to podcasts and fishing up red snappers and knifejaws because the medium size shadows are usually eggs now

"there's no right way to play animal crossing" goes both ways-if it means not wanting to complete things quickly is fine, it also means wanting to do things fast is fine as well.

this way is much better than the old ones being a single day you can completely miss and have to wait an entire year for another go at it. its not really their fault that the game launched right when everyone started having to stay at home because of a pandemic.

if they cut the mats down then in normal circumstances it would completely ruin the point of the new balance for the events and turn them into extreme grinds outside of the very weird situation we're in right now

It sounds like you still need to play on the 12th to get your achievement card stamped for making all the furniture. So if you don't play on that one specific day, you still miss a part of the holiday.

The game is definitely geared towards people who don't grind and play for hours; it just so happens it's still fun for people in a pandemic with hours a day to play as well! Great design in my opinion.

What would you guys say the best resource for seeing what furniture is in the game? I’m wondering if there are any items that have sunflowers in them.

there is a gigantic difference between having to simply open the game for 2 minutes on the day and having to do the entire event stuff on that day but it would be nice if that part was also not required for a specific day i agree

For me it's because I really want the cherry blossom things and having egg balloons spawning every minute across the island makes me more likely to miss the real ones. And it's harder to catch fish for money. It's not awful otherwise.

They could have had the event run for 12 days but also have the frequency of eggs gradually decrease once you've gathered enough to craft everything.

That does suck cause he actually does have secret songs Animal City, the city theme from the Wii game, Drivin' which sounds dope as hell, and a third one called Farewell or something.

I got the item for Animal City and assume the other two also have items.

The issue is that the holiday interferes with the regular grind, making it more difficult to get the resources you actually want. Like fish!

I think sometimes they add secret songs but they're not available as an aircheck until the next game rolls around. Those songs were in New Leaf, but as live performances only. Wild World is a new song, so I'm guessing the same rule applies.

EDIT: Yeah, each game has 3 secret songs that only have live performances. They became available for airchecks the next release (though most are request only). So far I guess this game only has one, Wild World.

its not grindy, it lasts for 12 days and with the rates on eggs youd get everything with moderate play over the 12 days. the issue is everyones at home and playing it a lot and have "finished" the event after 4 days.
