You’ve probably already heard of this artist/content creator on YouTube thanks to these many ultra-realistic short films in the world of Animal Crossing New Horizons. And if you don’t know him yet, we invite you to consult his admirable work. Recently, Denslé returned to the limelight by offering a new mini-film presenting the point of view of the inhabitants of ACNH when the player uses the Time Travel and, the least we can say, it breaks our hearts heart !
Time Travel is bad?
We are not going to get into this famous debate: is change the date of your console is a good thing when Animal Crossing precisely advocates the game in real time? Nintendo has already tried to block this practice by, for example, making sure that certain events are only available at the moment T or by making turnips rot at the slightest use of Time Travel, but everyone plays as they see fit. . The Time Travel is used in particular by many players to accelerate the departure of inhabitants on their islands, make construction much easier or even promote new hunts for the inhabitant on the mystery islands.
In short, a practice that has become very common and which allows you to enjoy the game without having to wait for the minutes to pass in-game like in real life. But what do our dear animals think?
How do residents feel when their house is moved?
In Densle’s short film, we start with Tom Nook offering his famous kit Island Remod. All ACNH players then know the major problem of modifying his island: absolutely every house/building move, bridge or ramp construction, not only costs a lot of bells but requires a day of waiting for it to be executed. Logical in the end. But for designers wishing to remodel their island in one day, Time Travel then becomes mandatory.
We then see the tanuki calling Dorothy in the middle of the night to tell her that the player would like her to move. Nook then explains to the player that it will be done the next day, but there is no question of waiting. HOME menu, quit the game, change the time on the console, start the game, and here we are the next day with a Terrorized Tom Nook by what he has just seen.
The best passage for us: when all the houses and buildings are lined up on the beach so that the player can terraform quietly. And you, which part of the short film was your favorite?
What was Ultia’s amazement when her adorable Rougepif said such things to her. The opportunity for us to come back to the worst sentences of the inhabitants of Animal Crossing New Horizons. Sensitive souls refrain.
