Animal Crossing prototype new game

General

Hey people!

I made a survey some time ago and got 70 responses on that so thank you all! :D

It seems like the biggest problem most of us have with Animal Crossing New Horizons regard the lack of character personality ! We dont want them to feel like puppets. We want to have long conversations with them and that they dont repeat themselves every time. We want to feel like the villagers have their own life and not only live for us. We want the drama and sometimes we want the villagers to be mad at us. We want realistic feelings.

So here is the question:

For school (I am a game artist) I have to make a prototype for a digital interactive application. I would like you to give me some feedback on if you would look forward to an application like it and ofc you can give me other ideas aswell ifnyou want to. ^^

So:

  1. Option: Create an AI that answers the player and it is just a mobile game with a virtual room where you can be with your favorite villager and chill with them
  2. Option: Tomodachi life like animal crossing (computer-)game where you have your villagers live in different houses and you can interact with them like in the tomodachi game and they can make friends with each other or be mad at others
  3. Option: Multiple choice story where you can play a story line and have multiple answers you can choose which effects the storyline to change and therefore also effects your relationships to the different villagers included
  4. Option: More animal crossing character types with deeper conversations (also more answers you can choose) and the player can travel around more islands with (mostly) staying villagers, which means you can have multiple islands and villager combinations.
  5. Option: backstory from the villagers (how do they get to your island), their journey and life

Thank you for reading so far, I hope to get some answers from you guys. Would be very nice! :D
