I've had a few ideas for how the next Animal Crossing game could play out. I mentioned events and other nifty ideas in the past. Today I'm going to go over what I think would be an ideal start to a new game in Animal Crossing Switch.
It will obviously start off in some sort of transport with either Rover or Kapp'n (99% sure it will be Rover). Of course it would start with asking for your character and town name along with choosing the map (that better come back), but the one thing I want to change is how characters are customized/randomized.
First of all, skin colour should be a choice similar to how Happy Home Designer and Pocket Camp did it. Secondly I think that Rover's questions that determine your appearance should stay, but be optional. It could work like this;
Rover: So -Town Name- is a nice place. Do you mind if I ask why your moving to this town?
Not at all! (This means that Rover will ask you questions about you and the town. This will determine what you look like)
Uhhh yes... (Rover will apologies for being nosey, then quickly change the topic and compliment your appearance, from there you will be sent to a character customization screen where you can choose from a selection of starter hair colours, styles, eyes and a shirt (there would be 8 of each)
This way, there is still that element of traditional surprise for those who enjoy it, but you can deny it if you care about your virtual appearance. Also having only a few options at the beginning keeps it balanced. Thanks for reading and if anyone wants to hear any other ideas on other Animal Crossing related mechanics, feel free to mention them.
